    Keeping programming skills current

    One of the issues we are seeing at my current employer (a .Net shop) is that some of the older employees have not stayed up to date with their programming skills. There is a lot of Visual Basic code written as though it was pre-.NET (so VB6- or VBA-style). Likewise, even though our current...

    Generating Context-free Grammars from Languages

    Does anybody have experience with this? Specifically, I would really like to know if there is some sort of process that can be followed to create a CFG when given a language. I can do it intuitively for simple languages (equal number of a's and b's, simple palindromes, etc.) but I really don't...

    35% off coupon code for Lenovo Outlet

    Earlier this week, I was given a 35% off coupon code for Lenovo Outlet that I will not be using. Coupon is valid until 4/7/13 @ 12 a.m. EST. It does NOT stack with other coupon codes (such as "DOORBUSTERS") but it should be a higher discount than any other active coupon code out there right...

    Project Estimation / Time Tracking software

    I have been tasked with recommending a software to do estimates and manage time for a small software development company. Mostly we do web development in .Net, but we occasionally do other things as well. We are a small company (< 10 employees). Can anyone recommend an off-the-shelf...

    Suggestions for ADA program

    I am taking a survey of programming languages, and I have to do a small (250-300 lines or so) program in ADA. What sort of programs does this language lend itself to? I am having trouble thinking of an idea for this program. Any suggestions?

    Moving SSL site from one server to another

    My employer wants to move a website from its current host to a VM in Microsoft Azure. The domain will remain the same, but the IP of the host machine will be different, obviously. The site requires SSL, starting with the home page. What is the best way to move this site from one machine to...

    Is it possible to click a Flash button via Javascript?

    I am working on a project that has been in development for several months before I started working at my current place of employment. This particular project is an ASP .NET (VB) web application, and the main functionality of the site requires the user uploading an image file and performing...

    Recording Coded UI Tests in Internet Explorer 9

    Is this possible? I need to do some testing on a web application, but have run into a few problems. Namely, the majority of the web app is dependent on a process that involved uploading a file (the actual upload is done via Flash). Additionally, the web app will not run in IE 8, IE 9...

    Accelero S1 R2 with Turbo Module vs. Accelero Twin Turbo

    I have both of the coolers stated in the title, each on a 4890. If you could only keep one, which one would it be, and why? The Accelero S1 is a bit taller, with the fins spaced apart further. It also has the "turbo module" installed, so the fans are probably very similar on both coolers...

    OCZ Z Series 1Kw or Seasonic X750?

    I'm in the market for a new PSU, and can get the 1000 watt OCZ Z Series for $110 after rebate. Or, I can get a slightly used Seasonic X series 750w. My other options are an XFX PRO850W or a Kingwin unit. My system is: Phenom II x4 970 (probably going to OC) MSI 870A-G54 AM3 mobo 2 x...

    Help with objects in C#

    I have a school group project this semester and we have to create a Fantasy Football Mock Draft in Visual C#. I am thinking that the best way to manage each player's stats is by creating an object class called "Player" or something similar. Then, create an array like so: Player myPlayer[] =...

    [AT] League of Legends referral thread

    I'm assuming (and hoping) this sort of thing is allowed. If it's not, please remove the thread. I didn't see a referral thread for LoL, so I decided to make my own. Basically, the more people I refer, the more in-game stuff I unlock (provided that the people I refer make it to level 5 or...

    Problems with 600W Fortron Blue Storm and DFI NF4 Ultra-D board

    OK, I'm having issues with my powersupply. Basically, it's explained here, in post #6 an ideas? I bought the PSU from another member here at Anandtech, and I haven't asked if he had any issues with it yet. I doubt he did, unless he had a similar setup (in sig from the previously-linked post)...

    One of the many reasons why Fry's Electronics is the LAST place anyone should ever shop...

    I bought a Gigabyte Triton board from Fry's in Webster, TX for $100 + tax. I ended up not needing the board, and returned it, still sealed, with the plastic straps that they put on all their motherboards (who knows why they do this, but it's their policy). The board has obviously never been...

    SMOKIN' HOT deal on AMD Opterons at Monarch!

    I can't believe nobody has listed this yet, and if they have, why it's not stickied to the top. If this is a double-post, sorry, and I also apologize to everyone out there trying to sell Opterons, because this is going to kill a lot of traders' prices. AFAIK, this is for OEM only, but a 3-year...

    Need HELP! with my Chaintech VNF3-250 socket 754 board

    My VNF3-250 is currently in need of a BIOS flash, as I had a power outage while flashing the BIOS. The board is 100% operable, it just needs a BIOS, and I don't have the "Recovery Disc" utilities any more. I am still waiting to hear back from Chaintech, and I hear they are slow to respond to...

    Stuck on my Newcastle 3000+ overclock...

    I've got a 3000+ s754 Newcastle, and a Chaintech VNF3-250 board with the latest BIOS (v5, 3/21/05) flashed. Here's the thing, though: if I change "Hammer Fid" in BIOS (which, as I understand it, is the multiplier), then it won't boot at anything other than "Auto" or the stock setting of 10. If I...
