I second this recommendation, the Axelson book is fantastic!

Most of my development is in Python and tabs are discouraged there.

It seemed to run fine for a while, but right after that 110C reading, it crashes. Now it easily climbs back up to that and crashes. I assume that the temp sensor is reading right? It said the CPU diode was hitting 110, and the under-chip sensor was around 55. I think the chip might just be...

Have you ever opened a keyboard? This thread got so derailed... He's trying to cut his keyboard membrane in half and connect the two halves, so that he can split the keyboard.

I realize that this is older hardware, but I was wondering if anyone had any advice about this. It's an AXP2500+ (the ones that would OC like crazy) on an Asus A7N8X-X. It is a friend of mines, I built it for her maybe... 3-4 years ago? At any rate, it started giving her trouble a few weeks...

Well, to prevent people from seeing a directory listing of adirectory, you should be able to just put a blank index.html in it.

Not grep, but you can use sed: tony@couchpotato:~$ cat sedtest.txt AB4CD>APRS,TCPXX*,qAX,THIRD-2:@140409z3618.52N/08224.42W_099/000g002t043r001P000p003h89b102 02v31<br> tony@couchpotato:~$ cat sedtest.txt | sed 's/.*\(_.*\)<br>/\1/' _099/000g002t043r001P000p003h89b102 02v31

The preprocessor has no idea that you're going to be calling it _HEADER_H. That is just a standard convention used. Other people could use definitions like that for other things.

There are several forum programs that will actually keep track of which threads you have and haven't read, and which posts are new to you in each thread (just not VB or phpBB). I'm not sure how they do it though, but it is an incredibly handy feature to have; for example, I don't come to the...

Sometimes. Sometimes just doing a one-off task in Excel is way quicker, no matter what other people tell you :D

I'm not sure if anyone mentioned this (I didn't notice it if someone did, sorry). Your flash navigation bar is confusing to me. When I mouse over one of the links, it says "receiving data" with the little spinny thing, but nothing ever shows up.

I haven't used it personally in many years, but most of the time, you know a FrontPage site when you see it. I'm not sure if it's necessarily hard to make a "professional" looking site with it, but many of the sites made with it look like crap :). To look at it a different way, Microsoft has...

I didn't get it.

That sounds full of courage!
