  • Explaining your system to a client

    - by Sir Graystar
    I'm currently developing a small Database Management System for a local company. How would you go about explaining how the system you have designed to a client? If they are non-technical and have no understanding of programming, how would you go about showing what the system will do and how it will do it? I guess some sort of visual representation of the system but this seems very patronising to me.

  • How do I automatically download files to a Kindle 2 whenever its USB connection is plugged into a Windows 7 machine?

    - by Bob Cross
    The inspiration of this question is the Gadget Lab article How To Make Your Kindle Into an Automatic Instapaper. In that article, they describe an implementation of an Automator workflow that: Detects the connection of a portable disk (which the workflow assumes is the Kindle 2). Downloads the Instapaper mobi file containing the text version of the articles marked for "Read Later" to the computer. Downloads the mobi file from the computer to the Kindle 2. All of this is straightforward in terms of functionality but it is not immediately obvious how to do step 1 on a Windows box. Is the Task Scheduler the first step? If so, which event should be the trigger for the rest of the task?

  • Why does the Windows XP Task Manager icon disappear from the tray?

    - by Jason Owen
    One of the more annoying bugs in Windows XP is the tendency for the Task Manager icon to not show up in the tray (aka the notification area). Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't, and it's not consistent enough to have an obvious cause. Looking on Google turns up a bunch of forums that have the same problem but no working solution. Why does the task manager icon sometimes not show up? How can I repair it when this happens (how can make it show up when it's missing)? How can I prevent it from not working in the first place, so that I don't have to worry about repairing it after the fact?

  • Does a modern PC require a graphics card to run?

    - by ArtM
    As I can remember, on old systems (Pentium II or III) it was not possible to boot and run the PC if the graphics card was missing (AGP cards were used in those days). Many years from then, I'm using motherboards with integrated graphics and I have no experience related to this subject, the "graphics card" always was present. Currently I intend to build a home/private "server" for my purposes and most of the motherboards I want to buy have no integrated graphics (AMD 870 or 970). I can take a normal graphics card from my firends for a few hours/days and use it when installing the necessary software. The question is: can I boot and run the PC without problems after I install everything I need and the graphics card is removed? if a general answer cannot be given, at least some examples of manufacturers/MB series/MB models will be helpfull I think it's obvious, but for completeness: I mean cheap desktop components, not real servers.

  • Complex MySQL table select/join with pre-condition

    - by Howard
    Hello, I have the schema below CREATE TABLE `vocabulary` ( `vid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `name` varchar(255), PRIMARY KEY vid (`vid`) ); CREATE TABLE `term` ( `tid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `vid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `name` varchar(255), PRIMARY KEY tid (`tid`) ); CREATE TABLE `article` ( `aid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL auto_increment, `body` text, PRIMARY KEY aid (`aid`) ); CREATE TABLE `article_index` ( `nid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0', `tid` int(10) unsigned NOT NULL default '0' ) INSERT INTO `vocabulary` values (1, 'vocabulary 1'); INSERT INTO `vocabulary` values (2, 'vocabulary 2'); INSERT INTO `term` values (1, 1, 'term v1 t1'); INSERT INTO `term` values (2, 1, 'term v1 t2 '); INSERT INTO `term` values (3, 2, 'term v2 t3'); INSERT INTO `term` values (4, 2, 'term v2 t4'); INSERT INTO `term` values (5, 2, 'term v2 t5'); INSERT INTO `article` values (1, ""); INSERT INTO `article` values (2, ""); INSERT INTO `article` values (3, ""); INSERT INTO `article` values (4, ""); INSERT INTO `article` values (5, ""); INSERT INTO `article_index` values (1, 1); INSERT INTO `article_index` values (1, 3); INSERT INTO `article_index` values (2, 2); INSERT INTO `article_index` values (3, 1); INSERT INTO `article_index` values (3, 3); INSERT INTO `article_index` values (4, 3); INSERT INTO `article_index` values (5, 3); INSERT INTO `article_index` values (5, 4); Example. Select term of a defiend vocabulary (with non-zero article index), e.g. vid=2 select a.tid, count(*) as article_count from term t JOIN article_index a ON t.tid = a.tid where t.vid = 2 group by t.tid; +-----+---------------+ | tid | article_count | +-----+---------------+ | 3 | 4 | | 4 | 1 | +-----+------------ Question: Select terms a. of a defiend vocabulary (with non-zero article index, e.g. vid=1 = term {1,2}) b. given that those terms are linked with articles which are linked with terms under vid=2, e.g. = {1}, term with tid=2 is excluded since no linkage to terms under vid=2 SQL: Any idea? Expected result: +-----+---------------+ | tid | article_count | +-----+---------------+ | 1 | 2 | +-----+---------------+

  • Copying large file from SD to HDD via USB failing on Ubuntu

    - by Kent Boogaart
    Hi, I'm attempting to copy some large files from my camera (Canon EOS 500D) to my laptop, which is running 64 bit Ubuntu 9.04. I am using USB to connect the two devices. For most files, it is simply a matter of control-C and control-V. I have done this successfully many times with both photos and small movies (eg. 180MB). However, when I attempt to do this with very large files (eg. 3GB), the copy seems to start with a lot of activity both on the camera and laptop, but after 10 minutes or so the camera is automatically unmounted and the copy fails to complete. I have read that this might be due to the device not mounting as a mass storage device, but I cannot see any obvious way for me to change this behavior. Can anyone offer any direction here? I'll get a USB card reader if necessary, but I'd prefer to be able to just plug my camera in. Thanks

  • International Zip Code Search

    - by Dave
    I implemented a U.S. "find near zip code" search for somebody. The coordinates of U.S. zip codes come from a commercial zip code database. Now, they would like a similar ability for countries other than the U.S. Has anybody implemented something like this for non-U.S. searches? How about general "find close to this address" searches? What commercial data is available?

  • Default tablespace for indexes in postgres

    - by tom
    Just wondering if its possible to set a default tablespace in postgres to keep indexes. Would like the databases to live on the default tablespace for postgres, however, would like to get the indexes on a different set of disks just to keep the i/o traffic separated. It does not appear to me that it can be done without going in and doing an ALTER index TABLESPACE command, and then the index is moved and will stay there, but the databases and indexes are part of a django app, so non-django intervention can cause some problems.

  • How can I enable encryption for SQLite3 in PHP5.3?

    - by meouw
    The php manual for SQLite3::open has this information: public bool SQLite3::open ( string $filename [, int $flags = SQLITE3_OPEN_READWRITE | SQLITE3_OPEN_CREATE [, string $encryption_key ]] ) Opens an SQLite 3 Database. If the build includes encryption, then it will attempt to use the key. I would like to use encrypted SQLite databases for a project I'm working on, but I can't find any information anywhere on how to build the SQLite module including encryption. Does anyone know how to do this? Perhaps it's so obvious no one has published any information or perhaps only commercial modules are available. I've noticed that the developers of SQLite offer a proprietary encryption extension. Is this the only way to go?

  • Excel macro to change location of .cub files used by pivot tables? (to allow .xls files that depend

    - by Rory
    I often use Excel with pivot tables based on .cub files for OLAP-type analysis. This is great except when you want to move the xls and you realise internally it's got a non-relative reference to the location of the .cub file. How can we cope with this - ie make it convenient to move around xls files that depend on .cub files? The best answer I could come up with is writing a macro that updates the pivot tables' reference to the .cub file location....so I'll pop that in an answer.

  • What is a good metaphor for c memory management?

    - by fsmc
    I'm trying to find a good metaphor to explain memory allocation, initialization and freeing in c to a non technical audience. I've heard pass-by-reference/value talked about quite well with postal service usage, but not so much for allocation/deallocation. So for I've thought about using the idea of renting a space might work, but I wonder if the SO crew can provide something better.

  • Android Google Analytics dispatch interval

    - by Bear
    In the document, it mentions that we can have a dispatch interval such that page view will be automatically dispatched after x seconds. I have the code like the following tracker.startNewSession("UA-YOUR-ACCOUNT-HERE", 20, this); I sure trackPageView() is called as I can see those pageview are stored into "google_analytics.db" which is the database that google analyitcs used to store non-dispatching pageview. However, it doesn't send to Google Analytics after 20 seconds In log, it keeps reporting scheduling next dispatch when I call trackPageView().

  • What reasons are there NOT to use OpenID?

    - by cletus
    You see a fair bit (in the Geek community anyway) about OpenID. It seems like a good idea. I'm developing a website that will be targeted at a somewhat less geeky audience (but not quite Mom and Pops either) so I have to wonder if OpenID is going to be "too hard" for some audiences. What do you think? That aside, are there any other technical or non-technical reasons NOT to use OpenID?

  • Android Device Management

    - by Jon Hopkins
    I'm looking at the possibility of using Android as a secure corporate mobile platform. One of the pre-requisites for this will be a way of managing multiple devices, security policies, software deployment, that sort of thing - essentially the things the BlackBerry Enterprise Server handles for BlackBerry or MDM (or something 3rd party like SOTI) handles for Windows Mobile. Does such a thing exist for Android? It's a platform we're interested in but without this right now (and we're not in a position to build it ourselves) it's a non-starter.

  • Setting PATH in Makefile run by eclipse

    - by Chris Jefferson
    I have a Makefile which runs fine from a bash shell, but fails to run from Eclipse. This is because the path I am setting in my .bash_profile is not getting used. What is the best way of making this happen? Is there somewhere else I could put the path, to make sure it is invoked in non-interactive shells (which is I assume how eclipse is running make)?

  • Your favorite time-off between programming.

    - by Harsha
    I am sure all coding pundits here will have one (or multiple) ways of spending some time-off between hectic coding sessions just to relax. Would love to hear from you all as I am a newbie and want to take little breaks (non-physical) from coding and do things which actually help me focus again. Thanks.

  • Static member variable containing object instances

    - by tom
    I have the following: function Preferences() { } Preferences.players = { 'player1': new Player() } players is a static member variable of Preferences and I'm trying to make it an object containing an instance of a Player. However, it doesn't appear to let me do this. It seems like it will allow me to define players if I make it a non-static member variable however. Like so: function Preferences() { var players = { 'player1' : new Player() } } Is it possible to create a static member variable containing instances of an object in JS?

  • How to implement table-per-concrete-type using entity framework

    - by SDReyes
    Hello Guys! I'm mapping a set of tables that share a common set of fields: So as you can see I'm using a table-per-concrete-type strategy to map the inheritance. But... I have not could to relate them to an abstract type containing these common properties. It's possible to do it using EF? BONUS: The only non documented Entity Data Model Mapping Scenario is Table-per-concrete-type inheritance http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc716779.aspx : P

  • How to remove compiler flag when building Boost

    - by mlo
    I need to build Boost with a non-standard set of flags (due to a conflict between Boost threading and C++/CLI). I'm adding the required flag (/clr) using CXXFLAGS, but this flag conflicts with the Boost default /EHs flag (/clr implies /EHa which is incompatible with /EHs), so that needs to be suppressed. Is there a mechanism like CXXFLAGS to suppress a default Boost flag or must I edit all of the compiler specification files by hand?

  • Variable for the suffix of $request_uri that didn't match the location block prefix

    - by hsivonen
    Suppose I want to move an /images/ directory to an images host so that what was before http://example.org/images/foo.png becomes http://images.example.org/foo.png. If I do: location /images/ { return 301 http://images.example.org$request_uri; }, the result is a redirect to http://images.example.org/images/foo.png which isn't what I want. An older question has an answer that suggests using a regexp location, but that seems like an overkill. Is there really no way to refer to $request_uri with the location prefix chopped off without using regular expressions? Seems like an obvious feature to have.

  • Mixing C and C++, raw pointers and (boost) shared pointers

    - by oompahloompah
    I am working in C++ with some legacy C code. I have a data structure that (during initialisation), makes a copy of the structure pointed to a ptr passed to its initialisation pointer. Here is a simplification of what I am trying to do - hopefully, no important detail has been lost in the "simplification": /* C code */ typedef struct MyData { double * elems; unsigned int len; }; int NEW_mydata(MyData* data, unsigned int len) { // no error checking data->elems = (double *)calloc(len, sizeof(double)); return 0; } typedef struct Foo { MyData data data_; }; void InitFoo(Foo * foo, const MyData * the_data) { //alloc mem etc ... then assign the STRUCTURE foo.data_ = *thedata ; } C++ code ------------- typedef boost::shared_ptr<MyData> MyDataPtr; typedef std::map<std::string, MyDataPtr> Datamap; class FooWrapper { public: FooWrapper(const std::string& key) { MyDataPtr mdp = dmap[key]; InitFoo(&m_foo, const_cast<MyData*>((*mdp.get()))); } ~FooWrapper(); double get_element(unsigned int index ) const { return m_foo.elems[index]; } private: // non copyable, non-assignable FooWrapper(const FooWrapper&); FooWrapper& operator= (const FooWrapper&); Foo m_foo; }; int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { MyData data1, data2; Datamap dmap; NEW_mydata(&data1, 10); data1->elems[0] = static_cast<double>(22/7); NEW_mydata(&data2, 42); data2->elems[0] = static_cast<double>(13/21); boost::shared_ptr d1(&data1), d2(&data2); dmap["data1"] = d1; dmap["data2"] = d2; FooWrapper fw("data1"); //expect 22/7, get something else (random number?) double ret fw.get_element(0); } Essentially, what I want to know is this: Is there any reason why the data retrieved from the map is different from the one stored in the map?
