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...

Hi! I'm wondering if anyone can give me any suggestions. I've pretty much run out of ideas, but don't want to take this rig back unless anyone else has any ideas. Hardware: Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe Athlon64 X2 4400+ 2Gb of generic PC3200 DDR (I'm going to have to dig up the invoice, I...

Hi! I'm working in a research lab for the summer, and we're looking to get a very fast projector (LCD/DLP presumably). I admit I don't know a whole lot about the technology used in them. I found a Sharp projector that claims to have a max vertical refresh rate of 200hz. Would it be...

I've been learning Python recently because of a project at work, and I'm loving it. I've done piles of programming in the past, but never anything with a GUI (VB doesn't count). Primarily it has been either console-based system automation tasks, programming contest problems, or web...

I've been doing some OpenGL programming for a research lab, and we've run into an interesting problem, even though it seems like it should have a really simple answer. We have an object moving towards the screen at 6m/s (units/s, whatever). Now, the problem is that without a proper FOV...

Seems my roommate ordered a K7N2-Delta L, but got a straight K7N2. We flashed the K7N2-DL bios onto it, and now it will 1/2 boot. We can get into the BIOS, but if we just let it go, it won't show the screen with all the hardware listed on it. Any suggestions, or is it time to start the...

After hearing about this, and completing the two challenges ( http://www.google.com/googleblog/2004/07/warning-we-brake-for-number-theory.html ), I've been looking for more problems to keep me on my toes during the off-season. Any suggestions for sources of problems like this?

I'm wondering if anyone has any good experiences to tell about places selling gear online in Canada? I wouldn't be adverse to using an American dealer, but I'd prefer Canadian to not have to deal with Customs, ridiculous shipping, etc... Any suggestions?

Two cow-orkers and I got in a discussion today about hot-swapping IDE drives. I took the stance that it's a Bad Idea(tm), and shouldn't be done. They refuted my claim, saying that it was perfectly find under Windows XP, and that no harm would come from it. So, we found a 3gb drive kicking...

usleep is a function for having micro-second accuracy sleeps on *nix. Apparently, this doesn't exist for Win32, and I was wondering if there was an elegant solution to that. I really only need accuracy down to about 1/4 second.

I'm trying to capture the output from btdownloadheadless.py, and parse that output using a C++ program. In C, I recall being able to use popen() to do this, however, I can't seem to find something that works with C++ without using C-style reads and writes. Basically, is there any way to do...

Also, the math has to be done quite precisely and quickly. Last year I did a project involving GPS, and you have to solve 4 simultaneous non-linear equations in real-time, assuming that this transmitter will be moving. You can "linearize" them, but then you have to do several iterations to...
