  1. My weak understading of what is needed to suspend a process could be accomplished by suspeneding all of the threads the process uses. Maybe a way to do it would be to figure out what threads the process uses then use the win32 api method for suspending them(all the threads). yes its gutted from vista, but is in the beta for server 2007 (to be called longhorne, or at least that wast the dvd sasy thet we recived at Tech-Ed) powershell is really cool but way too powerfull, they wanted ot out do bash (that is a direct quote from the "Fixing your problems with PowerShell" class at Tech-Ed) but if
  2. http://www.informationweek.com/windows/sho...on=Product+News This killing me.. bill, Bill, Bill Linux will not take the desktop untill Micorsoft stop controling the .doc standard and an open standard takes over.. then it has a chance, but for me I have already decided and for the last few years windows has been good for Visio and Visual Studio, but everything else I do for work is in Linux
  3. so does that mean Open Source is insecure because you can see the code?
  4. Thanks, now I feel dumb... I had thought about it, but for some reason I thought construtors did not need one as they have no return type..
  5. ok I have a program I am creating and I added a class called invatory, I get this error when I try to use the class Error 1 'cSharp_Adventure.Invatory.Invatory()' is inaccessible due to its protection level C:\Documents and Settings\huskeyw\My Documents\Visual Studio 2005\Projects\cSharp Adventure\cSharp Adventure\Program.cs 18 33 cSharp Adventure here is my code so far Invatory.cs using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Text; namespace cSharp_Adventure { public class Invatory { public string[] invatory; Invatory() { invatory = new string[5] {"Empty","Emp
  6. Thats a good point and I think you will be disapointed. at PDC which is Microsoft's developers confrece, at a talk called writing more secure code, which was hosted by Microsofts secuerity czar. The number one rule was never let anyone see your code to be secure. if they can see the code then they can always hack it was the theam of the entire session. they spent little time on cross domain access or buffer overflow or authenication.
  7. it looks like gcc is saying (code blocks and dev-c++ use minigw right which if I remember is gcc on windows) that minus is already a funtion in the std namespace this is the error I get also declared as `template<class _Tp> struct std::minus' here so instead of using namespace std; change it to using std::cout; this way you won't pull in the entire namespace just to shortcut cout..
  8. in my opinion the NT structure is too Complex to manage correctly. Even Seasoned NT admins don't apply least privilege model *NIX systems do. if you take a look at File permissions on a Windows machine you will see lots of options and with lots of options comes more problems. you have user A who needs to just read a file while you have user b who needs to write to a file (maybe this is just a script running as a user) and user c who needs all. well in thought this is simple, right.. well no, we find that other software, like the software that reads the file may require some other attribute i
  9. with out a working xp disk this is hard.. put back in the ubuntu disk have it partition the 100 gigs to give ubuntu 8 gigs leave the other alone boot windowsright click my computer and go to manage go to disk manager you should see 2 unused partitions (XP will not reconize the linux partition) right click the 92 gig one and format it.. it now will be useable by windows.. for fixing the MBR, barrow a disk.. or just leave it.. a hint for thoses doing dual boot. always have Linux create a boot partition (/boot) this way you can remove the main linux partitions or windows partition and grub will
  10. Yes. Go to Tools->Away->account->Invisible
  11. update I recompiled my Kernel to 2.6.16 R9 and recompiled the ati driver.. and Google Earth now works
  12. No just venting.. I'm stuck with this laptop from work.....by the way..Dell Business laptops Suck to..
  13. google has made beta 4 compatable for linux I have found a problem with the ati card and google earth. if I use the fglrx driver I get segfaults, but if I use the xorg ATI driver it runs (slow as there is no openGL) the newest ATI driver does not work with the 2.6.16 kernel (ati changed the wrapper but not there binary so the wrapper in ati's driver compiles stuff that the binary part does not understand.. ) ATI *** PI**C***E ** OF CR*P
  14. never happend to me before chernobal?sp? virus, that thing killed my first CD burner by deleting its firmware.. It only takes once to really piss you off. hay I'm at Tech-ed if anyone has some windows questions they need answered.. I just when to a class on powershell, nich formating features adn its tied with .net (not sure here if I want my shell that tied to the OS) I see issues with securing this, but it is powerful...
  15. well here is my code.. had to wait as it was a schools assinment, but I wanted to make it better (I'm learnin here) in case some one does not understand java, the file name need to be the same as the class or GuessGamePanel.java in this case.. the main method can be named what ever you want. import java.awt.FlowLayout; import java.awt.Color; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JTextField; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JLabel; import java.util.Random; import javax.swing.JOptionPane; public clas
  16. yes... and yes.. happy computing..
  17. Indeed. The problem is familiarity. People want to use what they know. The Windows user-experience is by most standards inferior to OS X and at best on par with Linux but the fact remains that Windows users know Windows and don't know OS X or Linux. It takes effort for them to learn the new system and to unlearn the old system. It's reasonable to expect a serious User to expend that effort but for most people the computer simply isn't important enough. Every hour they spend learning is an hour they aren't doing what they want to do. But are those really benefits from their POV? And more impor
  18. ??? I'll look up javax.swing.Timer but I did not understand much of that.. This is what I think I understand is set a timer trigered by my event that usese background change as an animation. and when the animation is done let the use enter another number.. sorry I can't post more code untill monday..
  19. Linux can be how ever you make it. but why should my computer look like it if I don't want it to. Linspire and others have made it just like windows.. but Windows is looking more and more like Linux and MAC OSX. I diagree that linux MUST be like windows to be "Ready for the Desktop" ..Vista does not look like windows.. I think UI is merging.. I am just tired of people complaining that Linux does not do X they windows does... maybe windows had the wrong way.. why should other repeate.. also your a software person, do you want to just "copy" other products.. or do you what to create...
  20. I'll do my best here. emun is to enumerate or to create list of linkable object. so in the example we have a list of linked methods. this is insted of using arrays, we now have a list that can be exploited in diffrent ways. in this example we declared two doubles x and y and pushed them thourgh the enum with this for (Operation op : Operation.values()) System.out.printf("%f %s %f = %f%n", x, op, y, op.eval(x, y)); which I believe is the same as saying for every type in the enum print x , enum type and run method op.eval(x,y) I guess my explanation does no good if you do not understand o
  21. ok I have a simple pick a number game.. I want the screen background to change color when they are close or too far (blue for close, red for far), I got this no problem I set up an array of type color private final Color color[] = { Color.RED, Color.BLUE, Color.GREEN, Color.GRAY }; now I have tried two ways in my event handler to make it flash all the color (so they can be seen) before going to the information color (this is so you see that your input when in.. or feedback ) here is method one else if (compairNumber > numberToGuess && compairNumber <= numberToGuess + 2
  22. nope , but we can complain... we still will accept sheep.... I just wont hire them.
