Hey, I'm pretty new to Linux/C programming and I have a problem with the following code: Code: #include <stdio.h> #include <string.h> #include <stdlib.h> int main (int argc, char **argv){ char set1[strlen(argv[1])]; char set2[strlen(argv[2])]; for (int y=0; y< strlen(argv[1]); y++){ set1[y] = *(argv[1]+y); set2[y] = *(argv[2]+y); } printf("%s \n", set1); printf("%s \n", set2); } (the arguments are 2 strings of the same length) well this still works fine. But after adding: Code: char text[23]; while (fgets(text, 23, stdin) != 0){ } anywhere set1 an…

Despite a series of events that would be better suited for a David E. Kelly legal comedy than an actual court of law, Apple is still fighting on in their ebook case, and this time bringing in some economists as backup, namely Bradford Cornell of CalTech and Janusz Ordover of NYU. The goal seems to be to better explain to the court why, according to Apple, they don't understand the market and are getting it all wrong. Philip Elmer-DeWitt extracts the pertinent part on Fortune: Efficient markets depend on firms acting in their independent business interests. In this case, the District Court's failure to consider the economics of the vertical agreements between Apple a…

Almost everyone has been in this situation at one point or another. You pick up a new iPhone 5s or iPad Air, maybe a iPhone 5c or Retina iPad mini, you use it for a while, and then it starts to show signs of wear and tear. Maybe you banged it against the wall and got a little ding on it, maybe it was knocked out of your hand by a clumsy friend and fell to the floor. Whatever happened, you know the feeling of that first blemish — it sucks. If you had no protection on it, you feel silly for not having none and wonder if it would have still happened if you did. If you did have protection on it, you start questioning the reliability of the product and whether or not it did…

I have received an old Pressario P2100 from someone who I helped purchase a new Windows 7 PC. The disk has been completely re-formatted and so there is no restore partition ( if there ever even was one). The case has a Windows CoA and I have a Windows XP CD. I have tried this and it does install properly. My only concern is that it does not install with the licence that is on the CoA. Is this compliant with Microsoft's licensing policy, and will this be affected by the fact that support for XP ceases in April Many thanks Harry Continue reading...

I have the following which sends a print file to a specific printer. It works perfectly in Windows 7, but not in Windows 8. The print job shows in the print queue until the print job jobstream is closed. Then the print job literally vanishes from the print queue. Here is my code: using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Text; using System.IO; using System.Printing; namespace PrinterLib { public static class PrintToSpooler { public static string SendFileToPrinter(string szPrinterName, string szFileName, string docName) { try { // Create the printer…

When I right-click Remote Desktop, I'm shown a list of recent machines to which I've connected. However, when I bring up Remote Assistance, the machines I've connected to are listed in name order. In most cases, I want to connect to the machine to which I was most recently connected. Is there a way to change the sort order for this? Continue reading...

When my laptop with Windows 7 goes to "sleep" with the unit closed, everything reopens fine. If it goes to "sleep" with the screen open, the task bar is empty. There is a colored background where the task bar should be. The only icon is the Windows Start icon that allows me to open various programs. Any ideas? Continue reading...

Hi New to this forum, bit of a computer newbie so please give me any answers in language that I can understand. Ok, I bought a pc from ebay, it came with a copied windows 7 disc with a product key that I believe is genuine. When I started the pc up it said "failure to boot insert disc" It then loaded files then got a page up that asked me to either install now or repair your computer. I tried install and it said set up starting and carried on with the set up. Then got a page saying "where do you want to install windows" but there is no list showing to choose from. Anybody got any ideas where I go from here???? Continue reading...

I have downloaded Accutrans3D from http://www.micromouse.ca/. When I run it, I get the message - "The program can't start because OPENGL32.dll is missing from your computer. Try reinstalling the program to fix this problem." There are two copies of opengl32.com on my PC. one in C:\Windows\SysWOW64\opengl32.dll and the other in C:\Windows\winsxs\x86_microsoft-windows-opengl_31bf3856ad364e35_6.1.7600.16385_none_0e9b4c35eabb42b2\opengl32.dll. From their properties, they seem to be identical versions of the same file. When I run sfc /scanfile against them, the SysWOW64 version gives the result - "WIndows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations." and t…

This is my first time posting a question here. If I have posted this in the wrong category please bear with me. We have an Acer laptop that runs Windows Vista 32-bit and we would like to use Malwarebytes but Windows keeps blocking it at startup. I know we can allow the program to come through but we have to do it every time we start the computer. There's no permanent option to allow the program at startup so I tried to disable Windows Defender. I went to msconfig to find Defender and turned it off but that didn't make any difference. I have even unchecked "startup" and "services" there but the problem persisted: somehow Windows found its way back to block at st…
