    Looking for book recommendations.

    Now I love C, I think it is great and use it whenever I can. However, I do not think I would suggest that C is a 'clean' language design. Both C and C++ have their flaws from language purist standpoints. As far as a book recommendation K&R is a must for anyone serious about C, and I have found...

    Outlook 2000 Printing Problem

    Hi: I am having an odd problem in Outlook 2000 where every message I print gets a blank page trailing the message. I thought it was probably a printer setting a first, but everything seemed normal under the printer's preferences, and there is no trailing page after I print in Word, Excel, etc...

    Application Error Woes

    Hi everyone: I have a couple of Win2k Professional clients with SP1 here at work that are getting some curious application errors. I have tried looking in TechNet/KB and other Microsoft avenues but haven't found an answer so I'm hoping you guys can help me out. What happens is we try and close...

    StrongARM Emulation

    Hello Everybody: I just wanted to drop a short note to see if anyone knew of a decent emulator for the StrongARM chips, with my first preference being for the 1110 chip. I'm really looking for one that will work under SPARC although if it works on Linux I'll take that also. Thanks in advance...

    X Display Woes

    Hi Everyone: I'm having some woes with my $DISPLAY variable when I telnet over to one of the lab systems at my school. I'd be perfectly happy if when I tried to run emacs on that machine it was stupid and ran it like I was running a normal telnet session, but alas it tries to user my display...

    C programming: some one help me with this one.....

    Okay, I'm a little confused as to why to check memory performance you need to actually play around with the actual memory addresses. Anyway, I was wrong and its just that you have too many objects on the stack. That isn't your whole program right in that snippet is it? For example I don't see a...

    C programming: some one help me with this one.....

    I've been in the world of Java lately, so my pointer action is a little rusty, but in CalArray you realize you're just jumping around to random memory addresses right? Is this maybe what you meant... That way you are just incrementing your counter, rather than sloshing through memory. My guess...

    How do i set up outlook to get my yahoo mail?? Thanks

    Okay, you're going to have to use the SMTP your mom's ISP uses. It doesn't really matter that the account is in your mom's name or that she is the only one that uses that e-mail. The SMTP box, more than likely, won't do any type of verification other than making sure you are dialed in on there...

    ZoneAlarm at high security

    Thank You, now I feel stupid for not scrolling down far enough on the main ZoneLabs page to catch that. Thanks once again!

    ZoneAlarm at high security

    Hi: I'm getting ready to move from my modem to DSL, so I wanted some firewall protection. I decided ZoneAlarm looked like the solution I wanted, so I downloaded it. When I try and run at the highest security mode, so that I have advantages like stealth, both Outlook and IE can't seem to get a...

    Win2k and Linux 2.4.x shootout?

    Maybe we could do a MySQL battle royale to do more of a straight up OS comparison(Plus I don't have SQL Server ;) ) and then an Linux/Oracle vs. Win2k/SQL Server I really don't think MySQL vs. SQL Server would be a fair test, because some features that really are enterprise features such...

    Win2k and Linux 2.4.x shootout?

    I'm more than willing to give some of my win2k machines processing cycles to this shoot out, if we can come up with an agreeable benchmark for the test. My machine is a laptop, so nothing that requires a killer graphics card would be nice. Maybe a MySQL, or similar, DB benchmarking test? It...

    MacOS has trouble with pointers

    That's great that the platform has a resource like that, and it would behoove Apple to shove a link to that somewhere prominent on Mac OSX. It is unfortunate that most computer users still are too lazy, or uneducated about computers, to use the resources provided to them, such as convient ways...

    MacOS has trouble with pointers

    nibs, how many users do you think are willing to recompile their Mac app, or to download the latest version? I doubt alot will, speaking from experience. Now that Hotmail is transfering over to Win2k, and killing IE 3.02 support, you'd be suprised how many customers are crawling out of the...

    Damn Peter B....

    Well, as I get to have this great piece of software on my computer to test out our companies web page, and make sure it will look okay on the next Netscape, I thought I'd try Peter's page on it. After an exciting 54 seconds of processing the page displayed, and none of the palettes showed up...

    java or c++

    You do tend to get addicted to constructs in one language or another, but when I'm in Java I really don't miss my C/C++ pointers at all. There are some neat tricks I could do with pointers, but you generally find a class that'll do the same thing for you, just with a little(or alot) more effort...

    I frickin' KNEW IT!

    I think you are right, the average consumer wouldn't go looking for the latest VIA drivers, but the consumer would probably buy from Dell, or Quantex, or Gateway. They are also probably going to look for the shiny designed for Windows 200 sticker. Since a VIA system can't have that sticker, the...
