What do you guys think of Mountain Lion? It's fast as fuck for me, so much better than Lion.

Pretty awful if it's installed over Lion. Clean install works awesome. But, Mission Control is still a huge piece of shit. Install TotalSpaces instead. Can't deal with how slow the animations are when switching desktops - a whole 2 seconds.

10.6.8 Snow Leopard master race reporting in.

the features that were added in versions after this seem to be just gimmicks to me, no real revolutions in the interface. all they really added was a notifications sidebar, twitter integration, a lot of things i wouldn't use.

i don't see any really compelling reason to upgrade.

I have a programming assignment due in 13 hours and I'm a bit stuck on it guys,
We're doing this in C.
Basically we're given a chunk of text, and our job is to compress this. the output contains number pairs that are 'offset, length': the number of characters you have to go back, and the length of the copied string. eg for the phrase 'she sells sea shells he shells and she sells',
the first four characters (including the space) are new, so their offset is 0 and their length is their ASCII code, but the 's' in 'sells' has been seen before, so its offset is 4 (you have to go 4 characters back to find the other s) and length = 1.
The next part is to basically speed up the process by replacing brute force by algorithmic force. Instead of using nested loops and literally comparing each character to every one before it, we have to get smart, and I can't quite do that right now.
If anyone wanted to help me out that would be so fantastic guys! Below is the start of my code, moving the input file into an array:
#include <stdio.h>
#define MAXBYTES 1000000
char input
char text[MAXBYTES]
int textlength = 0;
while(textlength<MAXBYTES&&scanf("%c", &input)==1) {
text[textlength]=input;
textlength++;
}

I'm kind of confused OP.

So you get a string, and then you're asked to compress it. Compress the string into what exactly?

Do you mean remove redundant words in a string? I don't understand lol.
>> No. 357
read length(i) offset(i)

store length(i) in array{i}

read length (i+1)

store length(i+i) in array{i}

check if length(i+1) is in array

if then offset(i+1) = array{i+1} - array{in which length(i+1)}


I've stumbled upon this thread and shitted it with what came to my mind at 3:29 without any effort. Sorry you have to see this.

Hey crew.
I feel really embarrassed to have to ask this, so please don't make me feel any worse.
I had graduated 2 years ago, and haven't programmed since, getting more into the networking and managed services type roles. Today, my manager gave me a 2 minute assignment, that I cannot complete. And am too ashamed to admit it.
Here goes:
Create an access 2003 database with 1 table, two collums. A (primary key) and B.
Create a form, with an input box, button and label that techs can run in a corner of the screen. Then enter a value in the text box, click the button, and if it matches something in Col A, it will spit out it's related value from Column B.

In 30 minutes I got as far as creating the form and table, and on button click, a new variable will be assigned the value from the text box as a string, and the lable caption will change to it.
Whoop-de-fucking-do.

Could someone here, please take the time to help me with this?
>> No. 369
Well i'm sure it's a little late now.

That said; I would use button on-click event macros.
http://www.keystonelearning.com/resources/articles/access_2003_attach_a_macro_to_a_command_button/

When creating macros there are a bunch of drag+drop commands you can call that should be able to do what you want.

Also, don't stress - no real job should contain any trace of fucking Access. Tell your boss to grow a dick and use a real database system.
>> No. 370
>>369
Thanx, I did manage to complete it after all. Took me like 5 business hours.
But we were light on work, and since no one else had a clue how to do this either, no one batted an eyelid.
But yes, I do need a new job.

On a side note, I discovered, that for some reason, running the set focus command, does not trigger the on focus command. Just found that odd.

If I have installed LXDE on arch, just using pacman -S lxde, how do I change the theme of the operating system? Do I just get an openbox theme and change that?

Pic unrelated.

>> No. 13
From what I can gather on this page http://www.archlinux.org/packages/?q=lxde which lists all the packages that have to do with lxde you'll see one that says lxappearance. Try installing that one with Pacman. You also might be able to find additional themes that you can install somewhere on the internet but I am not willing to do that for you.
>> No. 14
I have read both wiki pages. With themes I mean the way the start-menu (to use windows terms) etc looks. All I have found about themes is few links to openbox theme sites so I was wondering if the openbox themes change the way lxde looks because lxde seems to be running on top of openbox.

>> No. 537
Most of the dumps Solidus is talking about can be found if you Google around. A lot of the dumps are either put on pastebin or torrent sites.

In the case of the (not-so?) recent LinkedIn hack, the list of password hashes is available here: http://dazzlepod.com/linkedin/

If you want emails too just learn to search better, I suppose. And/or find some SQLi in a popular forum and cross-check the passwords against the email accounts.

Finally, you can buy such lists on various websites using TOR.

When I was younger - and before I had a solid non-Mac box at home - I used to collect the old PCs and miscellaneous hardware that I found discarded in my neighbourhood and salvage them into workable rigs.

I successfully installed OpenBSD on one of them, Arch on another. I actually ran a nulled vBulletin forum for my mate on one from my home internet connection for a few weeks, before he bought hosting.

I had such a great pile of shitty old 80MB IDE rives, it was insane. No pictures though, unfortunately!

So I have NO idea what just happened to my hard drive. I was playing a game and suddenly my mouse stopped responding to movements (I could still click but it wouldn't move). At first I thought it was simply the game glitching a bit or lag (since it's a closed beta and is loaded with bugs) and simply tolerated it until I finished the match expecting everything to be fine afterwards. Turns out as I moved my mouse more and more, it slowed more and more until it did the same thing and refused to move and only responded to clicks. I turned my laptop off by holding the power button and then turned it back on. Everything seemed to be ok as I expected but when I tried to mount my drive in Trucrypt, it started telling me "Incorrect password/keyfiles OR the Trucrypt volume does not exist.". I then noticed that my drive was no longer formatted and every attempt to use the "check disk" failed for that drive and only stated I needed to format the drive to do anything with it. I tried using a defragmenting program in case the table header was messed up but it wont even show up in those.

I have a backup but it is from a few months ago and I would rather not lose the data I gained between then and now. Is there any way I can fix this without formatting and losing everything (if I haven't already). If I DID lose everything, is it possible to recover it all with a hard drive recovery program?
>> No. 289
>>288

Sounds like quite a sticky situation there.

Is your laptop completely unusable? If not, I would suggest backing up whatever you can to an external HDD or something and re-installing the OS.

It might just be that you will have to lose the data through re-formatting if you have no other options available to you.

Next time, maybe don't encrypt your entire hard drive (I assume you did)? Bear in mind that you (if you did encrypt the whole hard drive) encrypted all of the operating system's core files needed to work properly, so if something fucks up (like it did to you) your OS will become unusable as your OS can't access the core system files.

Just put everything you want to encrypt in one folder and encrypt that in future. Either that or don't bother encrypting unless you're a pedo or a chinese activist or something.
>> No. 291
It wasn't the entire drive. Just the partition I store everything on.

I found a recovery program and I'm trying it now. Not sure how well it's going to turn out.

Hi,

I just install crunchbang linux on my machine and I would like to know what would you suggest me to install on my machine to make my integration in this distro and debian in general a good one.

I already installed a few favorites like Wine, Audacious, Virtualbox and so on but I would also hear ideas of what to include and what does it do, basically. Although I did use linux for about a year or so now (started with Mint), I still consider myself noobish at times :3
>> No. 24
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Common_Applications
Most of these will be available on Crunchbang.
As far as a few favorites, I prefer MPD and clementine for audio, firefox-nightly as the main browser, GIMP for image-editing, evilvte for a terminal emulator, pavucontrol for audio adjustments, and scrotwm as the WM.

Hey /nerd/, I need your help with Java.

I'm working on a program that creates a table of objects (right now it's only needs to take in strings and numbers), and one of the functions takes all of the values in a column and, if they are numbers, finds their sum. Since this is supposed to be an API and expanded on later, I've decided to implement it as a two-dimensional ArrayList that takes in a generic. However, I'm not sure how to find the sum of the values.

My question is: Is there a way to pull this off with generics, or should I just make the table out of a 2D array of strings and scrap the ArrayList idea?

Hello there. I am running a website at http://www.securitronlinux.com and I have forums at http://forums.securitronlinux.com but no one is using them. Should I leave them there or should I install something else instead? I have stopped the PHPBB forum spam with the Google capcha, but how can I make these forums actually a place where someone will post their questions.
>> No. 84
A few tips for you:
1) Don't use forums where article comments are sufficient for user interaction with what amounts to yet another Linux tip blog.
2) Don't use forums for a blog community unless you have enough of an active user base commenting regularly on articles to warrant it.
3) If you can somehow warrant having user forums, try to design your site layout to actually make the fact that you have forums available for usage easy to spot instead of burying it as a text link with a nondescript name in a pile of relatively useless and overwhelming text links that clutter up the layout.

>how can I make these forums actually a place where someone will post their questions.
Become a genuine seasoned expert on a couple topics, post useful and unique information on a regular basis instead of mostly reposting other people's content and showing off your desktop configuration, and build a community of active readers who actually respect your knowledge and want to ask you questions out of that.
>> No. 86
That sounds like a good idea, I have been posting some useful Linux tips and I guess I should focus on that instead of just posting Slashdot styled posts about the happening of the moment. I have had a dramatic increase in traffic in the last couple of weeks, so the amount of visitors I am getting is good for me, I am taking notice of which posts are the most popular and I am using that to decide what to post next, I will focus more on solving problems people are having as well as posting useful tips to help out Linux users.

Tell me, /nerd/,
Is there a way to configure mplayer to fallback on a particular video output driver? I want it to first try fbdev2, and then x11 if that doesn't work, so that I don't have to specify which I want on the command line.

Is it possible? atm my mplayer config file has the following:
[default]
vo=fbdev2
#vo=x11
framedrop=true
dr=yes
priority=abovenormal
>> No. 64
Turns out I'm a bit of a dork and a spot of googling could have helped: The line I needed in my config file is:
vo=x11,fbdev2

Putting "vo=fbdev2,x11" doesn't work somehow, as if the fbdev2 succeeds from inside X11 but doesn't display anything.
>> No. 93
Yes, fbdev2 will succeed from within X11 - if you switch out to the terminal, you'll see the video playing.

As an aside, when specifying vo in your config, it's often a good idea to end with a comma eg
vo=vdpau,xv,fbdev2,
The final comma will make mplayer use the vo specified in the default config if yours all fail.

Welcome. Here's how this stuffarooni works.
Enter the Hall of Fame and unlock Kiloude City, then Friend Safari is available.
Post your IGN & friend code (3DS main menu > friend list). Ask someone what your mons are.
KEEP YOUR INFO IN YOUR NAME.
Once mutually added you may encounter the first two Pokemon in your friend's safari.
Both of you need to be signed onto the PSS for the third.

THE FRIEND LIST LIMIT IS 100, KEEP THIS IN MIND.
If you delete friends, they keep access to your safari, but you lose access to theirs.

Don't like your safarimons? You'd have to factory reset your 3DS to change them.
No worries, someone will need your safari!
