Shit happens. After upgrading gcc to version 3.2.2, it seems to work. I really, really love Linux. And they ask me why I still use Windows..... :o Note : the compiler that comes with RedHat 9.0 release (2.9.6) doesn't work at all. Very useful, isn't it?

Hi there! Long time no see! This week my notebook is dead, but even then, I'm not depressed. In fact, Compaq and Université Laval (the place where I study and work) gave me something to laugh at. First of all, my notebook was overheating. I mean, after 15 minutes of a normal use (the...

Well, thank you all! In fact, there is no silver heatsink, only a black thing that gets very, very hot in 2 minutes. We tried to put it in a different slot, and it still doesn't work. I don't really know what should I do to solve the problem of this machine, but anyway, I think that it is too...

Hi all! A customer of mine has problem with a computer... Here are the specs : K6-2 450 mhz 192 mo ram Voodoo 3 PCI, I don't know how much memory 13 go HD Currently, no audio card nor modem/network card I've tested a few OS on it (Win98, WinMe and WinXP Pro) and it is always unstable. When...

As I am a student, I have still a lot of friends that live not too far away. Beer + pizza = a bunch of helpers, here... But I strongly recommend that you hire someone. He won't be as clumsy as someone who never do this job, and he will be able to guide you . I second the garage sales...

What's wrong with clocker? He seems unable to crunch like he used to!

The title could also have been "a BBQ with your friends." As long as there's beer, a BBQ and a bunch of friends... :D

Those numbers are mine :D I crunch under hist name... Together we are strong, but apart... ah well, we're no more than normal.

Nope. He doesn't have one. In fact, I don't think he has any modem :) Excepting the cable modem, of course. He'll be back online today, I think... I hope that Videotron employees will act like adults in the future... not like frustrated kids.

If any of you wonder, Cougtek can't access to internet for the 2nd day. Some unsatifacted employees of Videotron simply cut the cables, putting down 800 000 customers (Videotron provides TV and internet cable.) Many companies are down, too... And after that, some people ask why I'm against...

And this is only what we see and know, Mercutio. I'm a developper, and I know how things are made... and it is less then uncomfortable. If they admit that there is a security hole and that they can't do anything about it... imagine what's not yet dicovered. I don't really blame the guys who...

Well, when my #1 source of information says to me "Buy.", I buy. When he says "Don't touch this with a 10' pole!", I listen. :) He is well informed...

Two little fishes and my girlfriend :p Seriously, only two fishes.

Tom's hardware isn't a good place for reviews?

Just added a P4 2.0 ghz. It's a notebook, so I can't overclock it, but at least, it crunches for us.

Sorry, my mistake... I meant threads. Thanks to you NRG, I must have mud in my eyes :)

I'll add two computers in September. My friends are coming back for school and we have an high speed connection :mrgrn: In facts, I'd like to add one or two computers before the end of the summer, but I don't think the IT manager here will appreciate it. Not that I care, it's a summer...

Is there a way (other than browsing each topics of each forums) to find the pasts subjects? I don't really know how the information is stored (what kind of DB, type of fields, etc...) but I think it is possible to have a search engine. If there's one, could you tell me where it is? Thanks :)

A conjunctivitis can be severe enough to blind an eye. I have at least 2 per year, and they vary in intensity. The worsts are coming in August... they can make one of my eye so buffy that I can't open it. Believe me, this kind of conjunctivitis is VERY painful. - The Allergical Man.

Pappy Buck? Could you read me a story before I go to bed? :roll: LOL Juste kidding :)

I'm a kiddy - only 22. :)

e_dawg, did you read about F@H? :D

http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ Sorry for the previous link...

http://xbox-linux.sourceforge.net/ I found it interresting... could we run F@H on a XBox???? :D It would be great, since the XBox is sold 300$CAN!!!

Have you tried the Fax? It's a good one, but you gotta be very thirsty... If your a coffee lover, than try to put in one of those: Amaretto, Kalua, Tia Maria. They're all good add-on :)

Beer: Trois Pistoles (Quebec) Red wine: St-Emillon (France) White wine: Aufkellerein (Germany) Bourbon: Jack Daniels (USA) Mixed drink: Uppercut (½ Amaretto, ½ Southern Comfort with orange juice) My worst experience was with Smirnoff Ice... It's a mixed drink with Vodka, very sweet. Too...

DUH! The name is jtr1962... :oops:

Mercutio, could you give me a hint on which bootdisk I should take on Bootdisk.com? My NIC is a Megahertz XJ10BC/XJ10BT PCMCIA. I want to boot locally but with an access to a remote computer... Is that what you understood? I'm not sure I was clear in my previous post :) jtr182, you're...

I've just made the acquisition of an Epson notebook (or if you prefer, a pocket tank...) I was quite... ahem... furious to see that it doesn't have any OS on it. Not that I don't know how to install one with a CD-ROM drive. The problem is that I don't actually have any CD-ROM... I'd like to...

NUKE THEM!

I just saw it here, someone bought it in my office... :o

It's not only in Montréal, Prof... It's in the whole province of Québec. :o And trust me, you don't want to be part of the gang that translocate this day... Not only the truck location price is 3 times higher than usual, but EVERY one is moving... so imagine the mess. I was lucky 'cause I...

Tea, do you think that Tannin could allow me a little webspace just to put my picture? It's not big, but I don't have any place to put it... :oops:

I'm a NT, dunno which type. I can't find the full descirptions... :(

Perhaps in a week or two, I'll be able to add 4 to 6 computers 24/7. They are not very good (almost all P3 or K6-2) but it crunches. Hope this will be enough...

Tea, nice try. But you're not even close :) I'm older than that... ;)

You may have learned french, but you're not prepared for this : Osti de calice mon homme chu donc content d'te vouère! This is called joual in my contry. :)

Tea, where did you get all this stuff??? :) PeeWee (as everybody seems to call him here :)) is almost like the picture he sent, but without the glasses. Much better without it, also... :roll:

Just kidding... who posted fake pics? Many of us or not? I'll post mine as soon as I have one. :) You'll be afraid...

Very funny :) Thank you, Will, it works well. I was a few code lines short of a solution! But now its ok.

Exactly what I tried. Failed miserably. :)

Thanks for the tip, I'll try to get a solution there.

I want to share this painful moment with you all : I'm able, with a simple batch file, to do what I want. echo [myString] works fine... But, when I want to do this with VB, with Shell, ShellExecute, CreateProcess, etc... etc... the only thing I get is file not found. Ugrade to VB, they...

Time : and msgbox works EXACTLY the same in this compilation profile... You didn't expected seriously that VB would be smart enough to evaluate the context, no?

Cliptin: duh. I'm the senior programmer in VB, here. And my teachers won't help me, because they only know C++/Java. They believe (and I guess it's true) that all MS products aren't appropriate to build a software solution. :) Time: this is useful to accept command line arguments, not to...

Timwhit : there's a way to refer a command line as an object, but only if I create a new instance of it. That's exactly what I don't want to do. :) But if there's no other way, I'll create a new one. Mercutio : I know I can do it with Delphi... In fact, I've manage to made with Delphi in...

Ok, here's an example of what I wanna do: EDP_converter /h This should give a short text (to have an example, type dir /h to the command line.) I could post my code, but it doesn't work :) So I don't see why I should do it. But, if you really need it, I'll post it. Thanks!

I'm developping a soft with VB 6 (I know, I know... it sucks, but it is a requirement) that will be launched from the command line. The only problem left is for the /h (help) argument... I've searched a lot and didn't find anything working in this context. Of course, I could create a new DOS...

The RAID5 is hardware. No other application interracts with the server, in fact, there's praticaly no other apps on it! We read a bunch of data for each client, and there's almost 70 people here. But what is really weird is that the lack of performance is random; one time, it can take 5 to 10...

Presently we use a RAID 5 setup for a DB server (it's an Informix database.) We know that the server lags often and we think that the latency in reading could be in cause. We don't write often, but we constantly read data from it. Someone suggested that we change to RAID 1.0, but I dunno if...
