Hey just wanted to get some critique on my build for my friend. I'm usually answering these kind of threads but I figured I should get you guys to gander at it before I tell him to order the parts. 1) What will you be doing with this PC? Gaming? Photoshop? Web browsing? etc General use, some...

I've always heard arguments for either side, I am partial to c++ because that is really the only language that I know and I feel it is very powerful and I know some of my professors have claimed it is a much more powerful language than java. I've tried googling java vs c++ but results are very...

Hey guys, I've been trying to find a guide to help me do this extra credit for my hash table password server. I've completed the text version (including writing the hash table ADT and implementing a password server text interface) but I've never done any work on c++ with a gui. This is...

Hey guys and gals, roommate spilled water on his laptop (HP Compaq NC8430) earlier. I took it apart as much as I could (took out HD, ram, took off keyboard, removed DVD drive) I did find some water under the DVD drive, the harddrive was slightly wet, and there was some water on one of the...

So my assignment is to take from standard input (from shell "$proj1.x < test0") a stream of letters and numbers. I am supposed to sort these and keep track of the numbers, characters and strings. My professor suggested we use a map (I've never used it before, been doing as much research as...

Fits right? Friend ordered one for his comp I built for him, just want to get confirmation it fits. Also since it would have a fan pushing air out of the back, would it be worthwhile to move the rear stock exhaust fan somewhere else (Like the top or the side, I have one on the front and one...

So as I'm sure all of you have done this assignment in your educational background, I'm on an assignment in which I create a class, myInt, which basically can store integers larger than what integers can store, storing a single digit of a number as an element of an array. Ok I've been working...

Friend of mine asked me to get together some parts to build a decent pc for general use and some gaming for around $700~ (hes flexible higher if need be). He has a small 17" lcd monitor (low res I am assuming) and a 42" 720p tv but he might upgrade to a nice 22"-23" monitor. He said he plays...
