  1. Re: 2GB RAM http://www.scienceforums.net/forums/showthread.php?t=22118 see post #5+6
  2. WHAT?! No it doesn't. You can just look at it to see that ABC must be greater than 90. Here is the diagram I got: Proof 1: Since CAB=30 we can say DAB=60 As DAB=DCB=60 and all the angles added together sum to 360 we can say that: ADC + ABC = 360 - DAB - DCB ADC + ABC = 360-60-60 ADC + ABC = 240 And as ADC=ABC they both equal 240/2 = 120 ADE = 180 - ADC ADE = 180 - 120 ADE = 60 Proof 2: Now are you familiar with alternate angles? So CAB=30 therefore DAB=60 Now using alternate angles if DAB=60 then ADE=60 A diagram showing a similar use of alternate angles is here: http://www.gomath.com/geometry/parallelogram.jpg it is the alpha angle we are interested in on the right hand side.
  3. OMG, that stupid site thinks I am... Mother Teresa... help!!! I like what it says for Sadam: "People who don't like you better like chemical weapons"!!

    Hex Pronuciation

    Err, no. Can't say I have had any experience counting in base-16. Maybe you could just call it "seventeen in base sixteen"?
  5. Really? I really wanna try that now, I believe you, I just want to experience that!
  6. Oh gosh. Me thinks that is a good summary of this thread!
  7. You know Azures is a BitTorrent client, and a very good one at that, IMHO. Or did you mean he should get the official BT client?
  8. Why would you want to do this? All I can add to the above is to say you could do it manually. For example most firewall softwares allow you to block all network (incl. Internet) connections. Also many firewalls have the ability to password protect its settings. However this is not automatic, you need to do it manually, I think.
  9. You mean you're not perfect!?
  10. "You are Sunset Boulevard. You are all about fame and success and avoiding being seen as ordinary." Ah well, good luck to me with the fame and success! Severian & IMM.... lol!
  11. Ye, the fence is pretty useless. I haven't been there for a few years, but I remember that fence being the kinda height a 10 year old high jumper might practice on (ie. adult waist height). Bloke, I spose it's still said a bit. Depends on who you're with and the age group.

    Hmm' date=' you never know, IMM could look quite hot dressed like that! [i'](And that's not referring to the weather!)[/i]
  13. Pangloss: the code ran fine in VB 6.0 which is where I learnt, coded and tested that code! But thanks for pointing it out. But one thing I'd like to point out about your point out(!) is that for labels you have a caption, not text. So it could be lbl1.caption unless that has changed in VB7 as well! The code would get quite long, if you think about it, for like the 9th box. Because you'd have to do If commands for all of the 8 other labels.
  14. Why not? They can be an efficient way to share personal files. If I want to send my American friend a 200MB video I made at home then what better way to do it than via a p2p network? Of course there is the other side to it as well!
  15. mr d, mr d, why can't you just post in normal paragraphs so I can easily read it. Then I will be more than happy to (in fact I promise to!) respond to it.
  16. That is true. If that is such a problem then you should use method 1. 1) You use a similar command for lbl2 and lbl3 however you will need to include If functions to ensure that no two labels contain the same captions Dim num1 As Integer Dim num2 As Integer Private Sub Command1_Click() Randomize num1 = Int((9 * Rnd) + 1) lbl1 = num1 Randomize num2 = Int((9 * Rnd) + 1) If num2 = num1 Then Do Randomize num2 = Int((9 * Rnd) + 1) Loop Until num2 <> num1 Else End If lbl2 = num2 End Sub I only just realised that I needed the Do...Loop Until command in there. Otherwise you could have num1=num2. Also I appreciate you don't need the line spacing or the Else... I just put that all in there for clarity. Again this code will get very length as you get to the 8th and 9th label.
  17. Azures and other BT clients have always seemed, to me, a bit more complex to setup. But something like Limewire was, for me, very simple. I installed it, told Norton to give it access to the net and it worked! My Limewire uses port 47779, and I haven't changed that, so that could be the default port. Also two other things: This is what I do with version 4.10.9 1) Tools Options Connections Ensure "Connect on startup" is ticked 2) Tools Options Advanced (click the +) Firewall Config Here you've got the "Listen port:" box as well as the Router Configuration part, you probably want "Use UPnP" selected. Have you disabled Window's firewall? For me (Home, SP1): Network Connections Right click on the network Properties Advanced tab Untick the Internet Connection Firewall box See where that takes you.
  18. 2GB total. 400 is the fastest and that is what you want to go for, no question! As for do you actually need 2GB? Depends on the cost and what you use your computer for. 1GB is normally enough. 1.5GB if you wanna give high performance games the extra boost, for a game which used that much RAM you'd need a damn good graphics card for. 2GB is generally overkill, IMO, for home users. But hey, if you're a heavy gamer or have loadsa spare cash go for it!

    Cooling Tips?

    If the blinds are doing nothing to stop the heat getting in then you could always put silver foil on the window-side of them to reflect the heat. And taking a cold shower can actually make you cold (even in this heat!), but it doesn't last for long. But when you come back from a day of work and an hour in a hot car it's definately worth going straight into the shower when you get home! If you have cold water running on you for long enough, I've come out shivering sometimes! Also lights generate a lot of heat. This is a big thing for me because I have small-ish room with 4 bulbs. I can either have them all on or all off. Recently I've been working on the comp in pitch black because I know when I turn them on they generate a lot of heat.
  20. I do remember the name, but not the person. Under your profile it says: College and Major/Degree: University of Northern Iowa/Physics, Chemistry, Mathmatics So have you got 3 degrees? BobbyJoeCool and physics does ring a bell, in the distant past...
  21. Ah, ok Well you need some way to start it off. To generate a random number between 1 and 9 use this: Dim num As Integer Private Sub cmdClickMe_Click() Randomize num = Int((9 * Rnd) + 1) 'Generates random num between 1 and 9 lbl1 = num 'Displays result in label 1 End Sub where num is your randomly generated number. OK, then you go one of two ways: 1) You use a similar command for lbl2 and lbl3 however you will need to include If functions to ensure that no two labels contain the same captions. 2) From the first random you could then generate the rest, e.g. after the first number has been generated If lbl1 = "1" Then lbl2 = "2" Else lbl2 = "1" End If and then repeat that code. The If function would soon become quite complex. But then it would in method 1 also. I don't know. I'm just coming up with this off the top of my head. There could be a better way. [edit]if you want an example of method 1 I can write one for you.
  22. It's a simple radio, where the input is the two leads you get from the stereo jack. The question is do you know how to make a simple radio... YT is a genius with those kind of questions (even when the word "simple" is not involved!)
  23. OK, still not getting it! Do you want this kind of pattern: whereby each time you press Click_Me you get the numbers in different places/positions? Or do you want: Private Sub cmd1_Click() lblOne = "1" lblTwo = "2" lblThree = "3" ' etc etc until lblNine End Sub if you did that then you would have already made the form with the 9 labels and named them appropriately.
