> Jim, I have not used Windows in a very, very long time, but can you not configure Windows to store My Documents on D? I'm quite sure that you can, if I remember correctly? > > https://superuser.com/questions/1725456/wha-cant-i-move-my-documents-folder You can't, directly, but you can cheat, of course. Put your documents …

I think the only reason Google became the 'gold standard', as it were, is simply because at the start, it had a superior searh algorythm. It was better than the competition. These days, that is likely far less true, if it's true at all, but we have a whole generation …

One major problem? It's the same one for Junior programmers and Managers: The willingness to listen to the seniors and take their advice, rather than just blindly flailing through and making the exact mistakes the seniors told them they were going to make, then whining to the seniors about, "Why …

Only a few years ago, I would generally go with a smaller SSD for the OS/Operational programs, and and HDD for storage, but my demands are unusually large. SSDs come up to 2TB these days. For my last computer, I just went straight 2TB SSD. It requires a bit of …

By and large, a good summary, but beg to differ on a couple of points. First, 'mobile-first'. By the nature of their design, mobile and PC interfaces have to be separate. Mobile have to be minimalist due to the nature of the devices, while PC interfaces can be a lot …

First, don't store your dates like that. Use ISO format (yyyymmdd and if you need time, too, yyyymmddHHmmss with a 24-hour clock). That way, no matter how you sort them, alphabetically or numerically, they sort in ascending order. You don't need to do any tap-dancing at all. Then, when you …

BobFx has the right idea. Technically an unencrypted zip will work, but some virus scanners and security programs unzip attachments to see if there is an executable lurking inside, so password-protected is the way to go. Just make sure the resulting zip file doesn't have the character phrase ".exe" *anywhere* …

Here's a bit of ancient history for you. Way back in the day one of the very first breakthroughs in image recognition was made by a computer hobbyist, and it is germaine to your problem. The main problem in image recognition is edge extraction - how does one do that? …

Yep, flip the brace at line 23 and add another brace at the bottom, too - for starters. That will make it at least marginally make sense. It would be useful to know what language this was supposed to be in, too, because the initial note by James - you …

I'm gonna guess Line 47 - the space between the period and the backslash. Syntax errors involving things like periods are tricky to run down at the best of times simply because the character itself is small and seems insignificant, so your brain tends to skip over it as unimportant. …

If you're new to VS, then I would recommend initially *no* plug-ins. Use it for awhile. Perhaps, after three to six months, you'll be feeling something that you're missing - then look for something to fix that. I've been using VS since the oldest days (1.0) and to date I …

Off the top of my head, I'd say the solution is to change line 162 from "times 510 - ($ - $$) db 0" to "times 1022 - ($ - $$) db 0". The error message is telling you that 510 - ($ - $$) is evaluating to -32 which …

People have been debating the top-down versus bottom-up versus outside-in versus inside-out for decades. The correct answer is "none of the above". The best place to *start* is wherever the rubber meets the road, so to speak. Wherever the question mark is. You're writing the software to address some problem …

I always name the main form some variant of 'Main', because that's what it is. All other forms are named by function. Exactly what the name is depends on the naming conventions set forth in the local coding standard. If I use mine, then it would be 'frmMain'. In the …

1) Count is used to determine how long the number is (in decimal digits). 2) Line 18 extracts the digit at the lowest significant place by calculating the value of the number as it would be if the units digit was missing [(( x / 10 ) x 10 )] …

Many people have provided answers here, and I do not wish to step on any of this good advice. I just thought I would toss in mine, because it is my opinion that the more different viewpoints you find, the more likely it is that you will find one that …

More likely environment variables that can't point to two different places on the filesystem at the same time :) I'm Borland from ages past, but found my self in an MS shop using VS, which I hadn't touched since a very painful and frustrating bout with Version 1.0. The thing …

[QUOTE=macdonpr;907716]Hello, I am currently just getting started in learning my first programming language. I searched the web and decided to start with the book "The C Programming Language". The problem is I am already lost. I have no idea how to set up the Hello World program. I have a …

[QUOTE=monkey_king;906937]Thanks ppl, I need to keep track of the indices, so the strtok approch wont work. But thanks again.[/QUOTE] The strtok() approach will work, just with a little added overhead - specifically, tracking the size of tokens you have already passed and either used or discarded.
