So what people are saying is, if someone comes up to your house, and steals your lawn chair, and quickly carries it down the street, then you have the right to chase them and shoot them? No, that doesn't make sense. Regardless of criminal his criminal behavior or not, a man is dead because he...

Perl is actually an easy language, although not on the level that VB and Java are. I would say it is much simpler than C, and great at text manipulation.

We still use film because it IS better. Film has better resolution, truer color representation, and people are used to seeing things on film. Film lasts a long time as well. For the audio, it very well could be sent digitally, because I don't think 35mm film actually has accompanying audio.

I don't know if you ever visit the dv.com forums, but they are currently down. They are supposed to be back up on Monday. If they ever get back up, trying go to the audio or camera forum and ask for a canadian retailer that seels those headphones. Many people on that board are canadian and...

First of all, everyone who is saying that the $10,000 price tag is too high aren't taking everything into consideration. A good 3-ccd dv camera, with batteries, case, tripod, etc., costs at least $5,000. Software is not cheap nor are s-vhs decks. Anyway, as a computer and video person, I put...

use the system function i.e. system("notepad.exe"); hope that helps

The way to do this is to allocate a set chunk of memory, say 1k, and read from the file, filling it up. Then if there is still more in the file realloc or malloc more memory and read in more.

#!/usr/local/bin/perl use strict; my %names; $INPUT_FILE = "top.dat"; open(INPUT_FILE, "<top.dat"); %names = <INPUT_FILE>; close(INPUT_FILE); print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n"; foreach my $pattern (keys %names) { print($pattern,"\t",$names{$pattern),"\n"); } $nametoaddto =...

What you have to have: 1) a text editor to write the code, 2) a place to run it, and 3) a database. You easily have 1, notepad or something similar. 2) is a little harder. There are a few places on the net that offer free ColdFusion hosting. CFM-Resources and CFDevloper are two that I know...

I agree, but shouldn't employers be allowed to choose who they want to work for them? They aren't obligated to give you a job because you have better credentials. I think the employer should hire whoever he wants, and if he hires crap people, then his business will fail. If he hires good...

I agree with what you are saying. I agree with most people that what they classify is discrimination, but I think there is a problem labeling things dicrimination when discrimination is against the law. Is it wrong/illegal for the tall and big women not to get a modeling job for a clothing...

The asp page is probably dynamic, so if you can have someone edit the asp page/pages for you, I would make it so when you pass it a certain variable (through your perl program by calling the asp page), it opens a text file and writes all output to there as well as stdout which would be to a...

I agree that disliking someone for what they can't change is unacceptable, especially when employment is in question. The women with the bad body odor had a disability, one that would not allow her to work at certain jobs, if ever. This would result in her being subsidized by the government...

The only way I could think of to do this is to write two conversion functions. One converts an array of chars to wchar_ts and the other goes back. Below is a sample one that I wrote and compiled in MVC++ 5.0. That should work for you. #include <string.h> #include <wchar.h> void wtoc(wchar_t...

I have been reading a few threads lately that talk about discrimination. I am having a hard time understanding what it really is. I have always thought that discrimination is disliking somebody for something they cannot change. For instance, a black person is born black, he can't change his...
