  1. Electronic components are most likely to break when voltage is applied (ie turning them on) This is the most stress a system takes. It is my advice ( am I have over 20 years electronics repair experience) is to leave them on. If you are worried about the power bill, use the power management and put the system into suspend. This does not power down the system, but place in to low power mode. I have LCD monitors that also have a true sleep mode so they do not use as much power for CRT monitors, I use the power management to have them go to sleep if they have it, and if not I turn them off
  2. hmmm, it worked that first day, well, I tried ..
  3. in case anyone cares, I found some problems with the arrays here is the fixed version // Enigma.CS a dll to allow simple encryption in the vain of the emigma machine form WWII. // Copyright (C) 2006 William S.

  4. ok I have my encrypton class done for c# here it is to use it you pass a positive number as the offset to encrypt to decrypt you pass a negative version of the offset so say the offset is 25 for encryption it would be -25 to decrypt here you go.. pick at it and tell me what I can do better thanks // Enigma.CS a dll to allow simple encryption in the vain of the emigma machine form WWII. // Copyright (C) 2006 William S.

  5. should I throw these in an array and use the array position and search? at least not possible with enums means I was not just stupid, I was just wrong.
  6. ok I have my enum to hold Char for lookups but I also want to add other char like ~`@#$%^& and numbers. is there a way to do this.. here is one of my enums private enum WheelOne : int { a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, A, B, C, D, E, F, G, H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P, Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y, Z, } I would like something like this, but works.. private enum WheelOne : int { a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h, i, j, k, l, m, n, o, p, q, r, s, t, u, v, w, x, y, z, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9
  7. where did it fail for you, I did it on my slackware system
  8. Thanks, the try was hiding the problem the connection string should look like this this.mySqlConnect = this.Driver +";SERVER=" + this.Server + ";DATABASE=" + this.DataBase + ";UID=" + this.UID + ";PASSWORD=" + this.PassWord + ";OPTION=" + this.Option + ";" ; I had it in my comments from my test program but when I created the class I missed carring over the SERVER= parts Thank you for pointing me in the right direction.. I don't feel as dumb as I did before..

  11. you can dual boot any two OS, some are harder than others, if you install XP and then go and install Vista is should set its self up for dual boot. But as we just received the shipping version of VISTA it is impossible to say for sure that it will work this way. you should look into VMWare. you can get VMWARE server for free and with that run any x86 OS you need to under VMWARE..
  12. vista looks a lot like Gnome with the OSX skins.. lots off glossy eat your processor so word runs slower stuff.
  13. They still do, but their licenses with Microsoft restricts how they can advertise it, and requires them to put up the message saying , Dell recommends windows XP Right! If you do a bit of digging at Dell you can find some servers that hint about Linux, but, there isn't any direct hype about Linux. M$ has a lock on Dell. Perhaps as more people want Linux/Unix then Dell will provide it. This will take time. aaarrrggghhh http://www.dell.com/content/topics/global....;l=en&s=biz it's too bad they are only showing it offered on their Servers. Now if they would start mainstreaming it on

  16. to install First open a terminal as your user Type cd ~ wget http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b1_installer_linuxplugin gunzip flash-player-plugin-9.0.21.55 cp libflashplayer.so ~/.netscape/plugins/ cp libflashplayer.so ~/.mozilla/plugins/ you can close the terminal and restart firefox.. hope this helps
  17. found the answer here http://www.harding.edu/USER/fmccown/WWW/vb...comparison.html
  18. first I hate this language, but since I must take it.. I need to evaluate if a Int is between 3 and 7 ( so it could = 4 or 5 or 6) this is what I tried If check < 7 & check > 3 Then I do not want to have to write individual if statements, that would be stupid in c# it would be if (check > 3 ) && (check < 7) { MessageBox() }
  19. I can not reproduce the same error on the site you listed but I did on some others, this what I did. I downloaded this http://www.adobe.com/go/fp9_update_b1_installer_linuxplugin its a gzip file so gunzip <filename> it will create a directory the same as the name of the file FLASH-something cd to that folder there is a read.me file and a .so file. copy the .so file to ~/.netscape/plugins and to ~/.mozilla/plugins then restart your firefox and see if it works..
  20. if they were dos games, try dosbox.. it runs DOS in its own environment..
  21. ok, the v option just makes the system more verbose in its output so we can track what is going wrong
  22. Cross over is 100% FOSS, you are free to do what ever you want with the Wine part, they have an installer that come with support. as a matter of fact, Wine would get no development with out Cross Over Office. It that money that pays full time coders and support. Cross over roles everything back into the wine code tree Codega uses Wine as a library sine it is LGPL software, with its own proprietary direct X libaries and installer launcher
  23. try to mount it manually, and add the -v so we can get more output when it fails. (Ie don't just do a mount podcasts) do the whole mount -t smbfs //marsala/itunes /home/shane/podcasts -o v,rw,credentials=/etc/credentials,users
  24. for WoW Cedega is the best way I know (its based off an old version of WINE (Windows IS NOT Emulated)) and they added direct X to OpenGL conversion. CrossOver is WINE (they head the project and Sales of CrossOver help pay the bills) they just added better Dircet X support, but I don't think its as mature, unless Google added a lot more than I thought to get Google Earth to work with Linux..
  25. is this credentials=/etc/credentials to match widows accounts with the login process. and who owns that file, and can others read it.?<--- if root created it you may not be able to read it.. plus I thought it should look more like this //winbox/share /mnt/share smbfs username=joe,password=bloggs,uid=500,gid=500 0 0
