    Learnt C++, need assistance with Java

    Thanks for pointing that out. vBulletin seems to have sanitized the tilde(~) in the URL. I just made it plain text, and now vBulletin seems to have auto-converted it to URL, correctly this time.

    Learnt C++, need assistance with Java

    If I use an example of an expression like: "a=b+c" Python You don't have to declare the types of a,b,&c (Integer, character, floating pt., etc). The runtime has to determine the types of b & c, and then apply the correct operation (+) or give error if the operation is not allowed...

    Learnt C++, need assistance with Java

    You're correct in the sense that Java is the 'native' language for Android. But Python also will work on Android via SL4A. C/C++ is also supported via the NDK, but only performance oriented apps (typically games) use it. android-scripting - Scripting Layer for Android brings scripting languages...

    Learnt C++, need assistance with Java

    You didn't have a look at Sun's Java Tutorial ? Trail: Learning the Java Language (The Javaâ„¢ Tutorials) BTW, it looks to me like you're language hopping. I'd suggest that you really understand the basic concepts of programming first and then you can easily pick up any language. Ensure that...

    Laptops Be cautious leaving laptops unattended while charging

    My understanding is that the switchover time of inverters is fine for electrical equipment, but it will cause a poweroff for computers. If you look at the Peripherals section, you'll find many people using UPS in conjunction with inverter to avoid this issue. A standalone UPS would be the...

    PC Peripherals Please suggest a Compatible RAM

    There's your answer right away. You need DDR (not DDR2, or DDR3) RAM, in laptop form-factor (SODIMM). The obtaining part isn't going to be easy on you. DDR has been long obsolete, so there's no way you'll be able to get it new. Added to that is the additional headache of its size (SODIMM). Even...

    Linux Pharmacy Software

    While I'm not 100% sure if GnuCash has the features you're looking for, I think it should provide them. Have a look at the link below www.gnucash.org

    Netbook - Which OS?

    On Linux, SAMBA can be used to access shared folders on Windows machines, or even to create shared folders on Linux that can be accessed from Windows. www.samba.org I haven't used Ubuntu in a long time, so I don't know if it will default install SAMBA. Even if it does not, it should be easy to...

    Random IEM / Headphone Rants

    During the initial days of automatic language translation, that phrase had particular popularity. With one of the then popular websites (google?? babelfish??), when translated from english into russian, and then from russian back into english, the phrase would become: "the vodka is good, but...

    0-20k Want to build a Music PC

    OP, I apologize about this OT. Cranky, did you try using WSAPI ? My understanding is that it's the Windows 'native' solution for audio streaming compared to ASIO which is a 3rd party solution (Steinburg). ASIO is a very good solution for WinXP where WSAPI isn't available, but with Vista...

    Btech in IT from good college vs CSE in average college

    Just stating my experience. From what I've seen, college/university only matters during your initial placement. After that, it's all about the projects that you're working on and the depth of your skills. Any subsequent companies will primarily consider your technical skills and your domain...

    PC Peripherals Quick & easy RAM/ Memory Replacement RMA in India. Which brands/ companies?

    You still dont get it, do you ? No one's obliged to give you anything. I don't want to go into specifics of everything Jarod posted, but he's absolutely right when he said the pot is calling the kettle black. Your claims of advising CxO's and 286 hacking etc. is absolutely irrelevant on the...

    Headset for Samsung Focus

    I found the CX300 II had veiled mids due to the bass bloat, though it's a step-up from the EP-630. The good thing about the CX-300 II is that it responds well to equalization. After equalization, it's bass is tamed and the mids are good (if they are allowed to shine). But your taste is probably...

    Jury: Google did not infringe Oracle patents with Android

    I was worried at one point because they were giving consideration to the idea that API's were copyrightable. That would have brought down curtains on lots of stuff. In car analogy terms, API's are like steering wheels. You should be able to copyright a specific implementation, say Maruthi's...

    audiophile headphones for laptop under 2k

    OT, this should have been under "Audio Zone" section. At your budget, it would be difficult to get a DAC that would outperform your onboard sound. I'd suggest going with HeadPhones for now, and upgrading to a better DAC when you have the budget for it. At an entry level, Fiio E10 (DAC+Amp)...

    0-20k Want to build a Music PC

    As 'ALPHA17' has already suggested, please do fill up the template. Also do mention your speaker setup (2.0/2.1/5.1/7.1)? Do you plan to play audio from a AVR, or from the PC itself ? If you have time, do have a look at 'ComputerAudiophile' for their suggested hardware. All of it may not be...

    Which course should i opt for ?

    If you can find enough self motivation, I'd suggest getting a few good books and practicing examples etc. by yourself. It was the way I initially learnt, although studying at college exposed me to topics that I wouldn't have pursued myself. If self motivation is going to be hard, then go ahead...

    PC Peripherals Quick & easy RAM/ Memory Replacement RMA in India. Which brands/ companies?

    Usually I don't go for a 'me too' post, but couldn't help it given OP's attitude. I think Jarod nailed it clearly when he mentioned the "pot calling the kettle black". What exactly are the OP's contributions to technical discussions on this forum? As mods have mentioned, this is a forum; take...
