Or should I pony up for a usb 3.0 external hard drive? (my mobo will support it)
I intend to only use it for playing videos if that makes a difference.
I know close to nothing about hardware so let me know if you need more info.
I'm making a store web app for a college class. I'm wondering what do stores like Amazon do when there is only 1 item left?
Do they let multiple customers add the last item to their cart, and whoever checks out first gets it? Meaning that the inventory database is updated after purchase.
or
Do they let only one customer add the last item to their cart and remove the item from the inventory. If the customer's session times out, then the item is put back in the inventory.
Hey,
I'm having some issues trying to decode some javascript.. I have no idea what kind of encoding this is.. i tried base 64 decoders etc. If you can please help me out with this, here's a fragment of the code:
\x69\x6E\x6E\x65\x72\x48\x54\x4D\x4C","\x61\x70\x70\x34\x39\x34\x39\x3
Any ways I can get plain text from that?
Thanks!
I have always done this:
mysqldump -hlocalhost -uuser -ppass MYDATABASE > /home/f/db_backup/MYDATABASE.sql
mysql -uuser -ppass MYDATABASE < MYDATABASE.sql
But, if I do this instead...is this safe? Is this identical to the above???
mysqldump -hlocalhost -uuser -ppass MYDATABASE | gzip > /home/f/db_backup/MYDATABASE.sql.gz
zcat MYDATABASE.sql.gz | mysql -uuser -ppass MYDATABASE
I've just noticed when loading my client's page (http://habbopfm.com/) in Firefox, that it renders what looks like a rectangle is pushed down a few pixels.
It's difficult to describe, but imagine you took a screenshot of the page, opened it in Photoshop, selected a rectangle and moved it down a bit.
IE and Safari don't appear to do this - I'm assuming this is a browser glitch, not a problem with the code. Can anyone confirm what causes this?
Below is a screenshot taken of the issue:

One other thing is that it only does this once the page has finished loading. While it is loading, it looks fine.
Ok, I have a Preferences activity set with an XML layout.
Here I have a couple of Preferences that open some dialogs. On these preferences I want to have an arrow on the right of them like in the screenshot. How I do this, is something related to the theme ?
First screenshot is how I want to look, second is what I have now.

Note below how ã changes to a. NOTE2: Before you blame this on CMD.EXE and Windows pipe weirdness, see Experiment 2 below which gets a similar problem using File::Find.
The particular problem I'm trying to fix involves working with image files stored on a local drive, and manipulating the file names which may contain foreign characters. The two experiments shown below are intermediate debugging steps.
The ã character is common in latin languages. e.g. http://pt.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cão

Experiment 2
To get around my particular problem, I tried using File::Find instead of piped input. The issue actually gets worse:
Debugging update:
I tried some of the tricks listed at http://perldoc.perl.org/perlunicode.html,
e.g. use utf8, use feature 'unicode_strings', etc, to no avail.

I wonder if this is possible with straight SQL on MySQL. I need to do SELECT COUNT(*) FROM on each table in the database and output results in one result set.
Is it possible to do with just SQL?
I notice my query doesn't behave correctly if one of the like variables is empty:
SELECT name
FROM employee
WHERE name LIKE '%a%'
AND color LIKE '%A%'
AND city LIKE '%b%'
AND country LIKE '%B%'
AND sport LIKE '%c%'
AND hobby LIKE '%C%'
Now when a and A are not empty it works but when a, A and c are not empty the c part is not excuted so it seems?
How can I fix this?
Simple problem. I'm working on a single SQL Server database which is shared between several offices. Each office has their own schema inside this database, thus dividing the database in logical pieces. (Plus one schema that is shared between multiple offices.) The database is stored on a dedicated server and we use a single database to keep the backup/restore procedure easier.
The problem, however, is that the Accounting Office might be modifying a lot of data and then the Secretary Office makes a mistake which requires restoration of a backup. Unfortunately, restoring the backup means that Accounting will lose their recently added data.
So, the alternative solution is by restoring the backup into a new database, remove the data from the old accounting schema and move the data for accounting only from the backup top the original database. This is the current solution and it's time-consuming and error-prone.
So, is there a way to make backups of a single schema, possibly through code? And then to restore just that schema, probably through code too?
How can I select only distinct elements for the XML document using XPATH?I've tried to use the 'distinct-values' function but it didn't work for some reason..
I have just seen this in code
var thisYear = (new Date()).getFullYear();
See it live on JSbin.
This is cool, as I've always done something like that in 2 lines, i.e. create the new object instance and assigned it to a variable, then called the method on it.
Is this new method fine to use everywhere? Any gotchas?
I'm trying to convert the following MATLAB code to Python and am having trouble finding a solution that works in any reasonable amount of time.
M = diag(sum(a)) - a;
where = vertcat(in, out);
M(where,:) = 0;
M(where,where) = 1;
Here, a is a sparse matrix and where is a vector (as are in/out). The solution I have using Python is:
M = scipy.sparse.diags([degs], [0]) - A
where = numpy.hstack((inVs, outVs)).astype(int)
M = scipy.sparse.lil_matrix(M)
M[where, :] = 0 # This is the slowest line
M[where, where] = 1
M = scipy.sparse.csc_matrix(M)
But since A is 334863x334863, this takes like three minutes. If anyone has any suggestions on how to make this faster, please contribute them! For comparison, MATLAB does this same step imperceptibly fast.
Thanks!

How to make this method return boolean value, depending on query return. False - nothing, True - data exists. Before i just returned int from uniqueQuote.Count() but does not look like great method. Thank you!
private bool CheckEnquiryUser(int enquiryId, Guid userId)
{
int selectedEnquiryId = enquiryId;
Guid currentUserId = userId;
Entities ctx3 = new Entities();
var uniqueQuote = from quot in ctx3.Enquiries.Include("aspnet_Users")
where quot.EnquiryId == selectedEnquiryId &&
quot.aspnet_Users.UserId == currentUserId
select quot;
bool exist = uniqueQuote;
return exist;
How do I accept data on the backside of a utility app, and then how do I let users modify that data? I've tried all sorts of tutorials, but to no avail. If you need further information let me know. Thanks in advanced.
In bootstrap.php, where you set routes, I'm having a hard time getting them to work. I read some documentation a while ago that I can't seem to find again that explains them. Here is one of my examples
Route::set('products', 'products/(type)', array('type' => '.+'))
->defaults(array(
'controller' => 'articles',
'action' => 'view_product',
'page' => 'shock-absorbers',
));
I thought that would mean a request like products/something would load up the articles controller, and the action_view_product method. But I can't get it to work.
Can someone please explain to me exactly how they work, and what all the method parameters are?
I'm writing some C code to parse IEEE 802.11 frames, but I'm stuck trying to create a new variable whose length depends on the size of the frame itself.
Here's the code I currently have:
int frame_body_len = pkt_hdr->len - radio_hdr->len - wifi_hdr_len - 4;
u_char *frame_body = (u_char *) (packet + radio_hdr->len + wifi_hdr_len);
Basically, the frame consists of a header, a body, and a checksum at the end. I can calculate the length of the frame body by taking the length of the packet and subtracting the length of the two headers that appear before it (radio_hdr->len and wifi_hdr_len respectively), plus 4 bytes at the end for the checksum.
However, how can I create the frame_body variable without the trailing checksum? Right now, I'm initializing it with the contents of the packet starting at the position after the two headers, but is there some way to start at that position and end 4 bytes before the end of packet? packet is a pointer to a u_char, if it helps.
I'm a new C programmer, so any and all advice about my code you can give me would be much appreciated. Thanks!
