Faith-wise, I'm a (mostly) humble follower of the Lord Jesus Christ, and a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints (though I usually get to church late). I attend the Beaumont 2nd Branch where I'm part of the new website team and handle…

 | See above, but here's a little advice too. Pick a programming language. Write a podcast ripper in that language. Add in multithreading to download multiple files at once. Add a GUI. Add playback for the completed files. Use whatever libraries you need. Lather. Rinse. Repeat. (Hm... I still need to … |

| | Just watched Hobbit. A friend suggested that it might have been a better experience had I read the Silmarillion and some of the other supporting Tolkein books. So, having only read the Hobbit cover to cover, it was kind of jarring seeing all the extra bits. I saw it in … |
 | Background: I'm looking to program and sell (on the Mom & Pop circuit) some internet-enabled devices. They need to be pre-configured in-store by a non-techie. The device will come online with a DHCP address. I need to find it, send it customer-specific configuration changes, then wrap it up for the …  |

 | Re: (ask) Disclaimer: I am not a VB.NET programmer nor do I have any experience with TWAIN or WIA. Twain vs WIA http://developer.dynamsoft.com/dwt/kb/2739 TL;DR: Twain is better for scanners and requires a vendor dialog, WIA for cameras with a standard dialog. Your printer/**scanner** can do both. Here're some useful links I found … |

 | Week-old post is a week-old. Never-the-less! You can parse CSV's in 3 different ways: 1. Use a Finite State Machine to parse through the lines. https://stackoverflow.com/a/30338543 2. Use a RegEx to parse through the lines. (Technically, still an FSM, but smaller.) https://stackoverflow.com/questions/18144431/regex-to-split-a-csv 3. Use a library someone else already wrote. … |

| | In the output scenarios you use `printf("%02d = %02d:%02d am\r\n", i, First, Last);` Each `%02d` tells the compiler you want a two-digit number with leading zeroes. However, the first `%02d` in each output line should be `%04d` since we want a number 4-digits long with leading zeroes. Try that instead. … |
 | You've got some parenthesis hanging around in suspicious places. Better round them up. Do that by going to each left parenthesis and see where its matching right side is. One thing I recommend is eliminate a bit of Arrow-Code Anti-Pattern ( https://blog.codinghorror.com/flattening-arrow-code/ ) by getting rid of the easy possibilities … |

| | Hi, Daniweb. I have this hobby project I'm playing with where I need to generate data for a MonteCarlo simulation. The data needs to fit within a bell-curve around a given mean with a standard-deviation. I'm trying to figure out which random distribution system I need to use and how … |
 | Hi and welcome to DaniWeb! I think there's some confusion here because I'm not seeing where this would be JSP. This is a JavaScript function that would run client-side, not server-side. It uses an ActiveX object, which will only work in Internet Explorer, again client-side only. This file you're deleting … |
| | Hi, Daniweb, it's been a while. I'm looking to do a mobile ssh-client (well, not quite a full client) that stores sensitive login information encrypted by a pattern-lock. However, I know very little about encryption. Can anyone recommend a good learning path - and by path, I mean Encryption for …  |

| | This post is effectively solved and needs to be marked as such, but for the reference of anyone coming along later, here's what happened: The [sin\_addr](http://www.beej.us/guide/bgnet/output/html/multipage/sockaddr_inman.html) contains a 32-bit unsigned long int. Not a string. 127.0.0.1 as a number would look like 0x7F000001 or 2130706433 in decimal. The numbers 49, … |
| | Also, bear in mind that the iterator `(*it)` will be pointing to a **std::pair<string, PolicyRuleInfo>** object within the map. If you only want the **PolicyRuleInfo** struct, you'll want to use `it->second`. |
| | Hi, Guys. I'm calculating the correlation coefficient between two HashMaps of Stock Prices keyed on Dates. However, the Dates do not always line up perfectly. So, I need to line-up the two HashMaps by their Keys. Thus far, I'm creating two ArrayLists of the Dates, doing retainAll between them and … |
| | So... this happened at a LAN party. A friend was pestering me for Linux Mint. For some reason YUMI wouldn't recognize my flash drive, so I did it the manual way. sudo dd if=./linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdb bs=1M However, it should have been: sudo dd if=./linuxmint-17.1-cinnamon-64bit.iso of=/dev/sdd bs=1M It's an ADD/mental auto-pilot …  |

I want to provide Actors (primarily monsters) with state machines to follow, but I'm worried about how best to implement them. Right now, Actors extend Entities (I'm still torn on whether passive Entities like items/scenery should have states) and … |
 | @happygeek: I remember seeing an article for these some 15 years ago when I was in high school. The article reviewed these exactly as you described - high wow-factor, but not very usable. (You might have even written the article.) Was wondering if they were ever going to come back.  |
