    c++ programs error

    Well yes, but it is part of the category "Site Design & Development", which is why I wasn't sure, since this is standard coding. Then again, no one seems to be taking that rule too seriously, seeing as there is another (even a few) about website unrelated programming. (Making a separate normal...

    Backup Proposal, Please Leave Feedback

    ??? PHPMyAdmin is a php based software which can access and administer a MySQL database, i.e. you can use it to view the database and edit it, it is like a GUI for your database. It isn't part of MySQL. (E.g. PMA is just another web based software, with the speciality that it shows you your...

    archive file in image

    I know I'm being pedantic, but: it's better practice (to use enums) in this sort of situation, and prevents you from getting into bad habits. You could use f, z, r, but then you'd have to write comments on it so you remember what it meant when you read the code in half a year (well, you might...

    An enum would probably be better for readability.

    c++ programs error

    You're using the less/greater than or equal to signs incorrectly, you have two forms: t=>24 and t>=24 the correct way is to have the greater/ less than sign first, so the second form is correct: t>=24. (There's a few of these throughout, so go through the whole program and correct them.) The...

    Firewall of starka blocking me when doing ftp backup

    Today I was testing mounting my webspace with FUSE locally in order to have backups, and while making a tarball of one directory (the tarball was stored locally, i.e. all that was going over ftp was data in my direction), the starka server seems to have blocked my ip. (The server was still up...

    Backup Proposal, Please Leave Feedback

    Most software uses mysql, but some also depends on plain text storage, e.g. dokuwiki and sky blue canvas which I use. However setting up a cron job to do a daily backup isn't too much of a bother, so I'm not unduly worried.

    which university is the best ?

    Average scholarships (grants) for international students at MIT are roughly equal to the costs of studying there, so money shouldn't be an issue for international students, if you manage to get in. The main problem with MIT for international students is the whole load of forms you need to fill...

    After starka reboot..

    There is anoter problem after the reboot: the cpanel PMA doesn't work, giving error: phpMyAdmin - Error #2013 - Lost connection to MySQL server at 'reading initial communication packet', system error: 111 However my own installed version of phpmyadmin works fine. I.e. it is no longer slow like...

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    I quote from the desktops application: Only four - that's not much is it? And the other problem is that this isn't an integral part of windows: the last time I tried it it made the computer considerably slower. The integration isn't particularly good either, whereas many GNU/Linux desktops are...

    Which Operating System do you prefer?

    Still only one desktop in Windows then? I don't think M$ will ever catch up.

    PHPmyadmin on chopin

    OK, it seems then that a new version of PMA must have been installed on the server, since the passphrase warning appears if you haven't set up the PMA configuration file yet. The linked tables part is also to do with configuration, but shouldn't affect the functioning of PMA -- it does say...

    It don't matter if you're black or white... except in Canada

    Slight OT: Is that a MAC he's using? But why exactly was the polish version modified?

    Why Opera is not So popular being the coolest browser?

    Not any more... Back in the days you got many sites optimised for IE and Netscape. (There still are a few, but they work absolutely fine on Firefox, so they're a bit behind the times.) I don't know of many people who optimise for IE. (And most people who know how to make good websites generally...

    Extra -terrestrial Beings, Shall there ever be contact?

    Many humans don't acknowledge God either, so it wouldn't be so great a problem. We would simply have the mission to make them aware of his existence, just like in the past and today missionaries spread Christianity. That's assuming we can even communicate with those life forms: today we can't...

    PHPmyadmin on chopin

    I'm assuming you installed your own copy of phpmyadmin: in that case the error is with the configuration of your copy of PMA, but not with PMA in general (i.e. unrelated to the slow functioning of PMA). (You need to configure PMA according to the instructions to get that error away, if you...

    Why Opera is not So popular being the coolest browser?

    Sorry? It isn't compatible with *Nix and OSX (if you're talking OS compatibility), and I have certainly not come across any sites Firefox can't use. You do know IE only passed Acid2 from IE8? And that IE has historically also been one of the least standards compliant browsers?

    Extra -terrestrial Beings, Shall there ever be contact?

    The chances are there is life spread all across the universe on multiple planets. What stage of development life there is is harder to answer, but it is likely that some life will be more advanced, but it is just as likely that we would be the most advanced life forms around. (Well, humans would...

    Do you speak another language/tongue?

    Must have 4 parents then... :P It's actually more important to have lived in a country to learn a language, ideally each parent teaches you one different language, giving two, then you keep moving between another two countries, meaning you can learn four languages fluently. I only got three by...

    Show your desktop game. You can win credits!

    In windows not even the bar looks good, and the rest is so bad words don't suffice. Oh, and with GNU/Linux not only does the bar look good, you can choose many different bars, and customise them as much as you want.
