  • Med-PC Programing Language

    - by mknuii
    There's this programing language called Med-PC that works with animal behavior. I'm trying to learn a bit about it, but i can't seem to find any kind of books or material about it. I've "google it" but all i seem to find are some references about it and a PDF explaining the installing of the program itself and sensors(for the experiments), not actual programing instructions. I'm looking for some kind of guidance, documents or books, some kind of reference where i can improve and learn about this language, or if it is based on some other language. I just need some reference about it. So i've resorted to StackOverFlow to see if anybody has worked, knows about it or can point me some links/books about it.

  • Windows XP: Have my program run in kernel mode?

    - by Kalamari
    I'm currently learning about the different modes the Windows operating system runs in (kernel mode vs. user mode), device drivers, their respective advantages and disadvantages and computer security in general. I would like to create a practical example of what a faulty device driver that runs in kernel mode can do to the system, by for example corrupting memory used for critical OS-processes. How can I execute my code in kernel mode instead of user mode, directly? Do I have to write a dummy device driver and install it to do this? Where can I read more about kernel and user mode in Windows? I know the dangers of this and will do all of the experiments on a virtual machine running Windows XP only

  • Information stored in a cookie file

    - by jklmuk
    Thanks for you help in advance. I am trying to figure out the structure of the cookie file, more specifically i want to be able to determine the expiry time. From the cookies i have created they all appear to be in a standard format. Name, Value, website,followed by 5 numbers and a star. See example below. name value www.website.co.uk/ 1536 3041141504 30135951 1632526096 30135949 * Obviously the expiry time is one of the numbers, the question is which one. From experiments I have determined that the first and fifth number don't seem to change. In a case where i generated three cookies at the same time with a 1000 second time difference i noticed that the fourth number appeared to increase by 2000 suggesting that this has a connection with the expiry time. Can anyone confirm if i am heading in the right direction? And does any one know how i convert this to a human time and date(preferably in php but any language would give me a starting point) thanks Jason

  • Coalesce and Case-When with To_Date not working as expected (Postgres bug?)

    - by ADTC
    I'm using Postgres 9.1. The following query does not work as expected. Coalesce should return the first non-null value. However, this query returns null (1?) instead of the date (2). select COALESCE( TO_DATE('','yyyymmdd'), --(1) TO_DATE('20130201','yyyymmdd') --(2) ); --(1) this evaluates independently to null --(2) this evaluates independently to the date, and therefore is the first non-null value What am I doing wrong? Any workaround? Edit: This may have nothing to do with Coalesce at all. I tried some experiments with Case When constructs; it turns out, Postgres has this big ugly bug where it treats TO_DATE('','yyyymmdd') as not null, even though selecting it returns null.

  • MATLAB: Designing a "Warm Start"

    - by squall14414
    I'm currently coding a function in MATLAB that has two steps: It processes some data It does some calculations on the processed data I'm using the function to run a series of experiments, where I tweak the way calculations occur in step 2). Seeing how I'm working with a large dataset and the data processing step takes a while each time, however, I'm wondering whether there is anyway to code in a "warm start" in the function. That is to say, is there anyway to save all the progress that I've done after step 1) so that if I run the function a second or third time, it can skip step 1) and go right to step 2)?

  • Floating point inaccuracy examples

    - by David Rutten
    How do you explain floating point inaccuracy to fresh programmers and laymen who still think computers are infinitely wise and accurate? Do you have a favourite example or anecdote which seems to get the idea across much better than an precise, but dry, explanation? How is this taught in Computer Science classes?

  • How do I remove the namespaces in Zend_Soap?

    - by Marc
    Hi There I am trying to use the tranlsation webservice from MyMemory: http://mymemory.translated.net/doc/spec.php Unfortunately, Zend_Soap_Client does generate an XML reqest object that is not recognized by the service. I guess it is because of the ns1-Attribute (Namespace) within the tags. So does anyone know how to remove them? That's basically what I do: $client = new Zend_Soap_Client('http://mymemory.translated.net/otms/?wsdl', array( 'soap_version' => SOAP_1_1 )); Then I call the function: try { $client->otmsGet(array( 'key' => 'xxx', 'q' => array( 'source' => 'Computer Science', 'source_lang' => 'en-US', 'target_lang' => 'de-DE' ) )); } catch(Exception $e) { print $client->getLastRequest(); } The resulting XML looks like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ns1="http://tempuri.org/"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <ns1:otmsGet> <ns1:key>xxx</ns1:key> <ns1:q> <ns1:source>Computer Science</ns1:source> <ns1:source_lang>en-US</ns1:source_lang> <ns1:target_lang>de-DE</ns1:target_lang> </ns1:q> </ns1:otmsGet> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> And it should actually look like this: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?> <SOAP-ENV:Envelope xmlns:SOAP-ENV="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"> <SOAP-ENV:Body> <otmsGet xmlns="http://tempuri.org/"> <key xmlns:SOAPSDK1="http://tempuri.org/">mmDemo123</key> <q xmlns:SOAPSDK2="http://tempuri.org/"> <source>control panel</source> <source_lang>en-US</source_lang> <target_lang>es-ES</target_lang> </q> </otmsGet> </SOAP-ENV:Body> </SOAP-ENV:Envelope> Thanks for your help!

  • Improving as a coder with respect to design.

    - by dmarakaki
    As a soon-to-be computer science graduate, I have to come realization that I have a long way to go when it comes to the overall design of an application. After spending many semesters of programming from the hip I have come to appreciate the mulling over the needs of an application before diving head first into the coding portion. My question is to the intermediate and expert programmers, how can I improve in the area of the design phase of development?

  • Language for non-programmers to start learning programming

    - by zarawesome
    A non-programmer friend will be starting the Computer Science college course in a few months. I'd like her to try her hand at some programming before she starts her studies (the course itself expects one to know C, but it's an horrible language to learn to program at). What language would be the best to do so? Related question: Best ways to teach a beginner to program?

  • Summer Activity or Internship in Europe [2010] [closed]

    - by mrlinx
    I'm a graduate student looking for week(s) long activity in the summer. Because the summer isn't very long for students in my college, I'm not looking for a 3 month full-time internship, but some kind of activity where I can experience subjects related to computer science, entrepreneurship and team management. Do you know any? Recommend a better place to look for this?

  • Should using Eval carry the same stigma as GoTo?

    - by JustSmith
    It is taught in every computer science class and written in many books that programmers should not use GoTo. There is even an xkcd comic about it. My question is have we reached a point where the same thing can be said about Eval? Where GoTo is not conductive for program flow and readability, Eval is the same for debugging, and program execution, and design. Should using Eval have the same stigma as GoTo, and same consequences as in the xkcd comic?

  • professor of Java not knowing Groovy or Scala, normal or abnormal

    - by user311884
    i went to a prestigeous software conference (as dominant in its own field as MS in general), one main speaker is a professor of computer science who has been teaching Java for 20 years. During question session, he seems never heard of Groovy or Scala.... He is from a decent University in US... Is Groovy or Scala too new to attract academic attention or is this professor abnormal? thanks.

  • who do you admire in a scientific/technical field [closed]

    - by Tshepang
    This off-topic item refers to people with major achievements in fields such as engineering, science, and mathematics. Here's my picks: Eric Drexler for his work on molecular nanotech. His book, Engines of Creations, is mind-blowing. Robert Freitas for his work on molecular nanotech. The breadth of his multi-volume book, Nanomedicine, is impressive. Richard Stallman for promoting Free Software.

  • Where unmanaged resources are allocated.

    - by Harsha
    Hello all, I am not a comp science guy. Managed resources are allocated on the heap. But I would like to know where unmanaged resources are allocated.
