Besides all the syntax and logic errors that dduardo meantioned I would like to add the following: Programming, like many things, requires a lot of practice and reading. Failure to practice, read the text, and show up for lectures when you're a novice will almost always result in failing the...

IMHO, you shouldn't have a problem getting a job doing Physics. However, getting a job for the federal government or at a private sector company where clearence is required may pose a problem for you. The worst felony that you have is the latter one. I don't think anybody gives a crap about...

My money is on the Eagles by 3 up. Niether team will score in the 4th quarter. :) My predicton. Ryan

Indeed. I work for the Computer Center at my university and we're in the middle of trashing and giving away a **** load of computer equipment (mostly P3s and P2s, about 5 Mac G3s and a crap load of moniters). Oddly enough, the RAM in those things are probably the most valueable (not so much...

You shouldn't choose any profession just for the money. Do whatever YOU want to do, don't let your parents pressure you into making a decision. When political officals run for office they usually have supporters. If you want to get into politics later in life you should make a lot of...

In most cases a statement will only be executed once. However, the order can change when using conditionals (if, else, etc). Also, loops (for, while) will execute the same code more than once, usually with some sort of a modification: ie: for (int i = 0; i < 5; i++) where i is being...

It's important to understand that Dev-C++ is not a compiler. Dev-C++ is an IDE (Intregrated Development Environment) that uses the MingW (windows port of GNU GCC) compiler. I personally recommend using wxWidgets as a GUI API. It's build in a very OO manner which makes it easy to learn and...

"Consequently "double major" becomes "double minor"" There is a difference between dual major's and double major's. Check the link below. http://www.registrar.neu.edu/dualdouble.html

I would recommend seeing a professional in person if your suffering from deep depression. As for an online service, google it. Ryan

I can't speak from experience, as I know very little about foreign (outside of US) education systems and I myself am I lowly freshmen. But, I personally think the biggest shock is going to be the different culture (languages being the strongest), not the education system differences. My...

No. A system without an operating system can still access disk drives (floppy, cd-rom, etc). Device drivers are not needed for basic I/O functions such as floppys, cd-roms, keyboard, moniter, etc. This is done through the BIOs which is why you have access to these drives during system...

I'm sure that by the time Oil runs out we will have other alternatives for fuel sources. So no, I wouldn't worry about that. Fuel cell powered electric devices are supposed to be hitting the market this year (so the rumor says). Imagine your laptop being powered by a micro-fuel cell which...

I recommend the Algorithms in C++ series by Robert Sedgewick Code Complete (2nd Edition) Code: The Hidden language of Computer Hardware and Software - the book is on computer foundations and architecture, fair introduction to computer science Ryan
