A question in reference to MP3s and quality of file formats?

So I was surfing the web--if it's still referred to as such--and stumbled across this: http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cg...





So...what the hell does this mean? I've always ripped CDs into MP3 format, but is that the best for listening quality?


I'm not interested in uploading tracks into Myspace.





I just want to best listening sound quality, y'know?








So my question is this: What is the best format for listening? Lossless? WAV? Other?! Anyone know?

A question in reference to MP3s and quality of file formats?
Wav is best. Lossless if you want to have a smaller file, but is the same as wav. If you are going to use wav just use the cd.


How do you do the following with reference to the Hardy-Weinberg model. A) Indicate the conditons under....?

....which allelic frequencies (p and q) remains constant from one generation to the next.


B) calculate, showing all work, the frequencies of the alleles and the frequencies of the genotypes in a population of


100,000 rabbits, of which 25, 000 are white and 75, 000 are agouti. (In rabbits the white color is due to a recessive allele, w, and the agouti is due to a dominant all, W)


C) If the homozygous dominant condition were to become lethal, what would happen to the allelic and genotypic frequencies in the rabbit population after two generations?





If SOMEONE CAN HELP ME, I WILL REALLY APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP. THANK YOU.

How do you do the following with reference to the Hardy-Weinberg model. A) Indicate the conditons under....?
A) The Hardy-Weinberg equillibrium assumes that:


1. There is random mating (no inbreeding, assortative mating, or genetic drift).


2. There is no selection in favour of either allele (the species is not evolving).


3. No mutation is occuring (no new alleles).


4. There is no migration.





B) The alleles are:


W - dominant, agouti


w - recessive, white





The Hardy Weinberg equillibrium equations are:





Allele Frequencies


f(W) = p


f(w) = q


p + q = 1





Genotype Frequencies


f(WW) = p^2


f(Ww) = 2pq


f(ww) = q^2


p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1





We know that the 25,000 rabbits showing the recessive phenotype (white) MUST have the homozygous recesssive genotype (ww). The frequency of this genotype is:





f(ww) = 25,000 / 100,000 = 0.25


q^2 = 0.25


q = 0.5





p + q = 1


p = 1 - q


p = 1 - 0.5


p = 0.5





The allele frequencies are:


f(W) = p = 0.5


f(w) = q = 0.5





The genotype frequencies are:


f(WW) = p^2 = 0.5^2 = 0.25 (or 25%, or 25,000 individuals)


f(Ww) = 2pq = 2x0.5x0.5 = 0.5 (or 50%, or 50,000 individuals)


f(ww) = q^2 = 0.5^2 = 0.25 (or 25%, or 25,000 individuals)





To check the mathematics is correct check that


p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1


0.25 + 0.5 + 0.25 = 1





Also, note that f(WW) + f(Ww) = 0.75 = the proportion of rabbits observed with the agouti phenotype.





C) If the homozygous dominant condition were to become lethal then there would be selection in favour of the recessive allele, and the population would no longer be in Hardy-Weinberg equillibrium.





Generation 1





Surviving parent genotypes:


f(Ww) = 50,000 individuals = 2/3 = 0.6667


f(ww) = 25,000 individuals = 1/3 = 0.3333





Parental allele frequencies:


f(W) = p = 50,000 / (2 x 75,000) = 1/3 = 0.3333


f(w) = q = (50,000 + (2 x 25,000)) / (2 x 75,000) = 2/3 = 0.6667





F1 offspring:


f(WW) = p^2 = (1/3)^2 = 1/9


f(Ww) = 2pq = 2 x 1/3 x 2/3 = 4/9


f(ww) = q^2 = (2/3)^2 = 4/9


[note that p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1]





Surviving F1 offspring genotypes:


f(Ww) = (4/9) / (8/9) = 1/2 = 0.5


f(ww) = (4/9) / (8/9) = 1/2 = 0.5





F1 allele frequencies:


f(W) = p = 0.5/2 = 0.25


f(w) = q = 0.5/2 + 0.5 = 0.75





Generation 2





F2 offspring:


f(WW) = p^2 = (0.25)^2 = 0.0625


f(Ww) = 2pq = 2 x 0.25 x 0.75 = 0.3750


f(ww) = q^2 = (0.75)^2 = 0.5625


[note that p^2 + 2pq + q^2 = 1]





Surviving F2 offspring genotypes:


f(Ww) = 0.3750 / (1-0.0625) = 0.4


f(ww) = 0.5625 / (1-0.0625) = 0.6





F2 allele frequencies:


f(W) = p = 0.4/2 = 0.2


f(w) = q = 0.4/2 + 0.6 = 0.8





You could then draw a table, or graph the results:





Allele frequencies:


F0: f(W) = 1/3 = 0.3333, f(w) = 0.6667


F1: f(W) = 1/4 = 0.25, f(w) = 0.75


F2: f(W) = 1/5 = 0.2, f(w) = 0.8





The W allele is selected against, so its frequency declines over each successive generation. However, the rate at which it declines will reduce with each successive generation, as a higher proportion of the W alleles occur in the non-lethal heterozygous genotype (Ww).





Genotype frequencies:


F0: f(Ww) = 0.6667, f(ww) = 0.3333


F1: f(Ww) = 0.5, f(ww) = 0.5


F2: f(Ww) = 0.4, f(ww) = 0.6





As the frequency of the W allele declines, so does the frequency of the heterozygous (Ww) genotype.





Eventually we would expect the frequency of the w allele to become so high that it is likely to become fixed [ f(w) = 1 ] by chance.





Hope that helps.


Little c++ program?

Write a program that reads three integer values and passes these values to a function sum() by reference. The function sum() will calculate the sum of all the three values and returns the result to main() by reference.

Little c++ program?
Sounds like a school project... so here's some hints.





In main...


Read three integers, use CIN, read them into thre separate variables.


Define a fourth variable for the sum.


Call the sum function using all FOUR variables, passing the sum by reference.





In your function...


Define your function to accept four integers


Add the first three, put the answer into the fourth.
Reply:int * sum(int *,int *, int *);


void main()


{


int a,b,c;


clrscr();


printf("\nPlease Enter First Number : ");


scanf("%d",%26amp;a);


printf("\nPlease Enter The Second Number : ");


scanf("%d",%26amp;b);


printf("\nPlease Enter The Third Number :");


scanf("%d",%26amp;c);


printf("\nThe Sum is %d+%d+%d = %d",a,b,c,(sum(%26amp;a,%26amp;b,%26amp;c)));


getch();


}


int* sum(int * a, int *b, int *c)


{


return ((*a)+(*b)+(*c));


}

C++ finding limits of a sorted array?

How would you go about finding the highest and lowest scores in an array that is already sorted? I know how to find the highest and lowest scores when it is not sorted, but if it is sorted there must be a simpler way to find the limits besides searching the entire array. Here is the problem:





"findlimits() which will find the highest SAT score and the lowest SAT score and return both to the main program using reference parameters. Note that this is extremely easy once the score array has been sorted. The findlimits() function receives four parameters, the array scores, the number of values in the array n, and reference parameters max and min. After returning to main, main should print the high and low scores together with messages."





Why is it easy once the array is sorted, that means it must be a simple way. And how would I do that???

C++ finding limits of a sorted array?
I might be overlooking something, but if you know the array is of length n, and it is sorted in ascending order, then





int min = array[0];


int max = array[n-1];
Reply:There are 2 ways to go about it. One way is to use the min %26amp; max variables to store the highest %26amp; lowest values during the sorting routine.





(This is the best way.)


Another way is to store the 1st byte and the last byte from the array from outside or within the sorting routine. You need to know the length of the array though.


AP test reference book?

from your experience, what are some good study guide for


1. AP Chemistry


2. AP Physics C


3. AP Phsychology


4. AP Calculus BC


5. AP Literature and Composition


6. AP European History





7. I am also taking Latin next year (Lain 1). What are some tips when studying for Latin?





You don't have to answer all parts of the question

AP test reference book?
For AP Physics C, I recommend Princeton Review.





But for AP Euro and Lit, I think that Cliff's is the BEST. Princeton Review has a tendency to have really long (and boring) paragraphs, and you'll lose your attention. I loved Cliff's for AP Euro because they had plenty of charts, bullet points, and easy-to-understand diagrams. Also, the Princeton Review barely covers the Cold War and beyond. For AP Lit, Cliff's gives you 6 practice tests. You really can't beat that.





For Calc BC, I received a free Cliff's, but it wasn't that great. The thing is, for Calc, it's kind of pointless to get a cram book, because it's really just math problems. Your textbook and teacher will be your greatest references.





For AP Chem, I used Kaplan, which was pretty good. I had a horrible teacher though, so it's hard to say. My friend who got a 5 on the exam also used Kaplan.





good luck!
Reply:i got all princeton review, and i believe those were the best
Reply:Princeton review is good in general, but take a look through through the other review books, and if there's something you like, by it. In my opinion, its worth the extra $15 for a 5. Also, search the web for some good websites. Sites by teachers are usually very helpful and organized.

I need reference to excellent intro. books on the Philosophy of History?

Recently, I have been reading a bit of M.C. Lemon's book "Philosophy of History: A guide for students", but it seems less informative than I desired a book on this subject to be--even though I haven't been through it all the way yet. I was hoping somebody could provide me with a few sources that would introduce me to this subject--the Philosophy of History.

I don't know about philosophy of history- but if you mean history of philosophy, the Great Conversation by norman melchart (or melchert) was really helpful.


Can anyone points toward some good reference for design of Structural Design of Elevator/Lift well?

a. Elevator/Lift


b. Civil Structural design of RCC Elevator well


c. Prefeably according to some American Codes, but other thing in this regard will also be welcomed

Can anyone points toward some good reference for design of Structural Design of Elevator/Lift well?
Structural design for lift wells is a normal design to reinforced concrete wall , all you require is the additional loads from the lift , lift manufacturers provide all the load and support details of the lift,


This is a simple structure, usually lift shafts are designed to take the wind loads as well as a support elements to the slabs and beams, therefore the additional load by lifts will be minimal.


Asking a reference letter from a professor who's course you didn't do well in?

Is that acceptable?





Or if he specialises in a field that you got a C, even though that was not the class he taught you?

Asking a reference letter from a professor who's course you didn't do well in?
If you are talking about a reference to grad school or some academic pursuit, it isn't a good idea. If it is for a job, and the things you did poorly on in his class have no bearing on the job, and he realizes this, then maybe.





I've had students who got poor to average grades ask me for references to grad school and law school at the universities of which I am an alumna, on the assumption that somehow my reference would be advantageous to them because I went to the school. I've had to say no to some of them, because I honestly couldn't recommend say that I thought they would do well. A professor needs to be honest. If he says that you were at best an average student, it won't benefit you in any way.
Reply:That's risky. The best advice I can give you is something a professor in a professional development class taught us - whenever you want to ask people for a reference, ask them if they can give you a positive reference. Talk to them and make sure you highlight all your positive qualities. If you made some mistakes, tell them what you've learned from them and what you've done to rectify the situation. If someone is unwilling or unsure of whether or not he/she can give you a positive recommendation, then you'll know and you can move on to someone else who is willing. Your best bet are the professors whose classes you did well in. Good luck.
Reply:hmm idk i'd ask someone else
Reply:I wouldn't. I would at least have a b before i ask. But if you knew the professor to the point that he or she would have something nice to say about your effort then go ahead.

C++ for beginners?

Could you pass the compiler check if you write a code to pass-by-value but what you need to do is actually pass-by-reference? Or would it pass the check if you write a code to pass-by-reference but what you need to do is actually pass-by-value ?





your help please

C++ for beginners?
If I understand you correctly, you want to know if the compiler will allow you to write code that LOOKS correct but isn't. The compiler will not catch logic errors or errors in which you use the wrong method of variable passing. UNLESS, you reference that code from a subroutine and use the incorrect reference.





I am actually thinking of Visual Studio.net 2005 in the Visual Basic environment. If you use a different compiler... the results may be different.





In short, don't rely on the compiler to check your code for anything.

In reference to the CA Dept of Insurance Independent Adjusters Exam, what does "An Express Warranty" mean?

It may have been described as either (a) a warranty created by specific statements made, (b) a warranty based upon manufacturer's promises or (c) implied from the nature of the transaction. Are any of these correct?

In reference to the CA Dept of Insurance Independent Adjusters Exam, what does "An Express Warranty" mean?
It's A.





There are basically TWO types of warranties - Express - which is a specifically stated warranty (read the fine print whenever you buy a new car, THAT is an express warranty), and implied, which isn't written down, but is something you assume (like toothpaste won't be sweetened with a poisonous substance).





The BEST way to answer questions like these, is to eliminate the obviously wrong answers - C is the MOST wrong, B is the next most wrong, because "based on" is not the exact way an express warranty works.


Inertial reference frame?

THe hallmark of an inertial rreference frame is that any object which is subject to zero net force will travel in a straight line at constant speed.To illustrate , consider the following: I am standing on a level floor at the origin of an inertial frame $ and kick a frictionless puck due north across the floor. A.)What are the x and y coordinates of the puck as a function of time as seen from my inertial frame.(Use x and y axes pointing east and north respectively.) Now consider two more observers, the first at rest in a frame $' that travels w/ constant acceleration due east relative to $.(All three frames coincide at the moment when I kick the puck, ans $'' is at rest relative to $ at that moment.) B.)Find the coordinates x', y' of the puck and describe the pucks path as seen from $'.


C.)Do the same for $''. Which of the frames is inertial?

Inertial reference frame?
it is where the point or frame where basis of observation starts

According to solubility curves chemistry reference table, which saturated solution is the most concentrated?

a) KCLO3 at 10 degrees celsius


b)KNO3 at 70 degrees celsius


c) NH3 at 100 degrees celsius


d)KI at 0 degrees celsius

According to solubility curves chemistry reference table, which saturated solution is the most concentrated?
I think KNO3 at 70 degrees Celsius.


Why?


Most salt's solubility increase when the temperature is increase.


Why?


Because the reaction is endothermic.





However,gas (for example NH3) solubility in water increase as temperature goes down.

In reference to my question earlier about the cell charges?

i was against my step son having the phone to begin with. i told my husband and his mother that this child was to irresponsible for a phone and should get pay as you go phones. they insisted. now i also felt he did not need it because he is always with an adult. what does a kid his age need a phone for. we have had trouble with it from week one. my husband and my husbands mom who bought the phone never believed me. as far as the kids mom she has given up. she sent him to live with us b/c he is difficult. he just shuts down if he does something wrong and is confronted. he is selfish and wants everything. when told no he gets mad. me on the other hand i am not a push over. i have a step mom and loved her greatly. this child tells my husband he wants to go live with the childs mothers ex-husband. says he is on a quest to live in multiple places to learn from each place. to me seems he wants to leave when he is in deep trouble. so i know i am right. i just wish every one else would see.

In reference to my question earlier about the cell charges?
As long as you are not paying the bill. The one responsible for the bill will wake up one day when they pay one that is not justified.





Seems as if this child has to many influences in his life and he feels he has the right to choose who influences him.





Sad thing is, you are his step-mother and not the one that needs to be dictating to him, he will resent it simply because you are his step-mother. Does not make it right, just the way it usually works.





When that bill comes in because he has abused the priviledge of having a cell phone someone will wake up.
Reply:It is hard to be a step parent, getting vetoed by the bio parents is a common occurance. Stand your ground, it sounds like he is very spoiled and uses wanting to live elsewhere as an excuse to run out on his bad behaviors. Until Mom and Dad stand up to him you are only going to be beating your head against a wall.

Skateboard Reference Frames?

A Physics student is riding on a skateboard traveling along a straight horizontal road at a constant speed of 2 m/s. The student throws a ball into the air that she observes to rise straight up vertically. A man, who is sitting on a park bench nearby, observes the ball on a trajectory that makes an initial angle of 72° with respect to the horizontal road.





2) How high does the ball rise?





a) 0.27 m


b) 1.51 m


c) 1.93 m


d) 2.87 m


e) 8.99 m

Skateboard Reference Frames?
Vertical velocity = (2m/s) sin(72degrees) / cos(72degrees)





Vertical velocity =(2m/s) tan(72degrees) = 6.155m/s





Time to reach peak = Vertical velocity / Gravity





Time = (6.155m/s) / (9.81m/s^2) = 0.627s





Average velocity = (vf+vi)/2 = (0m/s+6.155m/s) / 2


= 3.078m/s





Vertical distance = Average vertical velocity x time





= 3.078m/s x 0.627s





= c) 1.93m

Reply:The Bible ( King James Version) is using a vague term in early 17th century English to represent what was probably a fairly vague term in whatever it was compiled from.





Specifically, the word "worm" could mean anything that crawled close to the ground on short, splayed or no legs. This could include maggots, caterpillars, snakes, lizards and earthworms. It also included the mythical dragon.





Sometimes the Bible is more specific and uses the term "serpent" which we now interpret as meaning "snake".





Likewise "turtle" meant "turtledove" and "bird" could mean anything that flew, including insects and bats.





We tend to be more precise today mainly because more animals are known.

Reply:Maggots, caterpillars, and almost any other crawling thing.


The English at the Time of the Tudors and the Stewarts had nothing to explain rot or decay, but maggots are almost always eating rotting stuff. They thought of the word worm not just as the little crawling things but also as the spirit of the rot. It was magical thinking.


It is hard to understand that they really did have a totally different world view that was ruled and bound with superstition.


C++, lowest test score drop question?

Writing a program where user inputs 5 scores %26amp; lowest score drops. Has to be in 2 seperate functions. I have getValue function done ok; user inputs 5 scores as array of type float. When I move on to the second function (findLowest), I don't know how to transfer the scores found in getValues. No global variables, %26amp; I think I'm supposed to use call by reference, but I'm confused at how you would take the array from getValues and do a call by reference to get the scores into findLowest.





# include %26lt;iostream%26gt;


using namespace std;





void getValues();


void findLowest();








int main()


{


getValues();


findLowest();


return 0;


}





void getValues()


{


const int size = 5;





float score[size];





cout%26lt;%26lt; "Enter " %26lt;%26lt; size%26lt;%26lt; " scores, seperated with a space: \n";


cin%26gt;%26gt; score[0];





findLowest();


}





void findLowest()


{


int i;


float lowscore;





lowscore = score[0];


for (i=1; i%26lt;5; i++)


{


cin%26gt;%26gt;score[i];


if (score[i] %26lt; lowscore)


lowscore = score[i];


}

C++, lowest test score drop question?
As soon as getValues() returns, the score array gets deleted. What you need to do is create an array in the main() method (this isn't a global variable) and pass it to getValues() and findLowest() (c++ will automatically pass arrays by value).





int main()


{


float highscores[4];


getValues(score);


return 0;


}





void getValues(float[ ] highscores)


{


float scores[5];





// Populate the the scores array


// i.e. scores[ i ] = input





float lowscore = findLowest(scores);





//move high scores into highscores array


int count=0;


for (int i=0; i%26lt;5; i++)


{


if (scores[i] != lowscore) // as long as it's not the low score


highscores[count++] = scores[i];


}





}








float findLowest(float[ ] scores)


{


// Run your algorithm to find the lowest score in scores[ ]


// return that score


}





That's how it's done. Just fill in the blanks. Good luck!

When making a reference list in APA, what do you do when the source has no author?

Like, lets say you have 5 sources, 3 have authors because they are print, but 2 do not because they are from a webpage.


Do you do:

"Anteaters".........(internet)


Brian, C...................... (print)


Cabana, O.........(print)

Can anyone reference any good websites that explain how to find the subject of a formula?

if anyone can find examples of questions like this:


a=b/c-e make c the subject


i would be a thousand times grateful

Can anyone reference any good websites that explain how to find the subject of a formula?
http://tpub.com/math1/15a.htm has a pretty good explanation of the subjects of formulae.





All you really need to do is solve the equation for c in your example.





c = b / (a + e)

Which of the following elements in Beowulf reflects the Anglo-Saxon culture after the conversion from paganism

Which of the following elements in Beowulf reflects the Anglo-Saxon culture after the conversion from paganism?


A. References to the stars and heavenly bodies


B. The fact that Beowulf lives in Scandinavia


C. References to a single god


D. Use of Old English

Which of the following elements in Beowulf reflects the Anglo-Saxon culture after the conversion from paganism
C duh... process of elimination. I havent even seen the movie but this is the obvious answer
Reply:Most likely C, since that would happen -after- paganism.
Reply:I would actually pick A





this is why:


A references to the stars and heavenly bodies refers to mythology which worshiped many gods. In addition mythology was developed to explain what was not known to the uneducated.(which is exactly where beowulf's time period took place)


B is completely irrelevant


C A single god (most likely christianity) came after greek mythology and was more logical than mythology(which means it came after)


D old english was already developed so thats wrong

Word 2003 File Menu Entry Delete?

I uninstalled ScanSoft OmniPage SE 2.0 and installed the newer version SE 4. In Word 2003, when I click on File, I see two entries for the older SE 2.0 and two entries for the new SE 4. I want to delete the two entries for SE 2.0. One tip said to use the combo keys Ctrl.%26gt;Alt. plus the hiphen key to turn the cursor into a hiphen symbol and then use it to click on the File Menu entry to remove it. This does not work. I have removed all files in C referencing OmniPage 2.0 and all Registry keys referencing it, but the two entries still appear in Word's File Menu.

Word 2003 File Menu Entry Delete?
You should be able to delete menu entries this way:





1. Press CTRL/V followed by CTRL/T. This will bring up the Toolbars menu.


2. Click Customize down at the bottom.


3. Click the menu item you want to delete and drag it off the menu. This should get rid of it. Be careful not to drag it to another menu or toolbar.


4. Do the same for any other items you want to get rid of.


5. When you're finished, click the Close button.





You might get a warning later about changing the Global template (normal.dot). This is a security measure to prevent viruses from modifying the template behind your back. Since you made this change, click OK.





That should do it.


C++ parameters?

what is the difference between call-by-reference and call-by-value? another thing is call-by-reference and pass-by-reference same? as well as call-by-value and pass-by-value?





:)

C++ parameters?
HI, I can explain this to you. I've always loved C++. It can be a very powerful language. What I like about is the object support, but, inlike other languages (like C# or VB) you can still use pointers, you can in fact use generic pointers.





Let's consider the basic pointer type. Look at the following declarations ;


int s; // Sn integer


int *s_p; // pointer to an integer


void *p // generic pointer


char c; // char


char *c_p; // char pointer (possibly to an array of chars)


char *c_p[] // Pointer to an array of chars


void *AnyObject // An Object pointer





In the above variable list, the variables s and c are value variables. All the pointer types are reference variables.








So, I assume that you understand the difference between pointers and non-pointer types. Basically, a pointer is a reference. All type of pointer, regardless of what they point at, are internally represented as the same type (a memory address). A pointer can be thought of as a "reference" to the variable or object to which it points.(Object pointers are a special case,which we won;t consider here)





Suppose that a function, or method of an object, is declared like this ;





Void SolveArray(int *piArray[], int iMaxIndex)





This function takes 2 parameters, its first parameter a pointer to an array of integers and the second an integer.


The first parameter is said to be "passed by reference". The second is said to be passed by value. When the function is actually executed by the program, and for a parameter passed by value, a copy of the value in the call will be used. for parameters passed by reference, the function has an address to the actual array.





int iArray[128];


int iMax;


int *piPtr[];





LoadArray(%26amp;iArray);


iMax=128;


*piPtr = %26amp;iArray;


SolveArray(piPtr,iMax); // or SolveArray(%26amp;iArray,iMax)





IOW, if SolveArray changes something in *piArray[] it is actually changing the values in iArray. If SolveArray were to change the value of iMaxIndex, the variable iMax is not changed. This is because when the function is called, any parameter passed by value is a copy of the variable used when called. Since any paramter thart is a reference, it IS the address of the variable used in the actual call.
Reply:I hate C++


I DESPISE IT








so much!!!!!!!!
Reply:I dont know about C++ , but In vb call by reference (or ByRef) will mean that your argument is not allowed to be changed during the sub or function. It can only be read-only and hence called for reference only. call by value (or ByVal) allows you to change the arguments a function or sub recieves directly.
Reply:Well, this is definetly the wrong place to post this question, but to answer it briefly, references (similar to pointers from C) carry the reference to memory rather than the value itself. So, when you dereference a variable, and assign it a new value, it changes all variables pointing to that memory location.





This is powerful in OO programing (which is where C++ makes significant extensions over C) in that you can pass around complex objects which is just really a bunch of references and have methods reassign those values directly.


C# ASP .NET - RangeValidator control error?

I have a RangeValidator control which I want to use in conjunction with the date value in a custom calendar control. The control has a Text property which contains the date value, but the RangeValidator doesn't seem to just be able to validate the control as a whole, so I'm trying to reference the Text.





When I do, I get:





Unable to find control id 'WebCalendar:Text' referenced by the 'ControlToValidate' property of 'valMyControl'.





Could someone please help me find the proper control ID I should be using, if applicable, to reference the Text property of my calendar control?

C# ASP .NET - RangeValidator control error?
The text property must specify the global value in order to validate any parameters passed to it. Try creating a control ID that is global in nature.

How do I write this relative reference to columns in VBA (excel)?

I have Range("B1").Select, which is an integer (1-50), and I want to select the column which has the same number in the header row (row 1) that is the value of B1.





B1's value will change incrementally 1 to 50, and each time I invoke this macro I want it to select the next column and copy it.





This is what I want, but I don't know how to make it not always be "C:C". It should be "D:D" the next time, and so on.





Range("B1").Select


Columns("C:C").Select


Selection.Copy

How do I write this relative reference to columns in VBA (excel)?
Here's a function that will do it





Sub f()


   Range("B2").Select


   N = Selection.Value





   If (N %26lt;= 26) Then


      newCol = Chr(64 + N)


   Else


      newCol = Chr(64 + (N \ 26)) %26amp; Chr(64 + (N Mod 26))


   End If





   Columns(newCol %26amp; ":" %26amp; newCol).Select


End Sub





The value that you typed into cell B2 is used to create a character code for the column you want to highlight The ASCII code for A is 1+64, for B 2+64, etc





If you type in a number greater than 26 (for Z), then a two-letter code for the column is derived in the Else part of the If statement

According to reference table N, which pair of isotopes spontaneously decays?

(1) C-12 and N-14


(2)C-12 and N-16


(3) C-14 and N-14


(4)C-14 and N-16





i know the answer is (4) but why?

According to reference table N, which pair of isotopes spontaneously decays?
Because reference table N says so. Basically, it has a mix of protons and neutrons in the nucleus that is unstable, and that's why it decays. Other isotopes are more stable.
Reply:(3) C-14 and N-14
Reply:You did not give us nor refer us to the unknowable reference table N. So we do not know what you are talking about. The answerer who replied that the nuclei in (4) have an excess of neutrons to protons was correct. So award him full points.
Reply:Calculate the proton to neutron ratios for all of the species. These are fairly smaller species so you want an Z/N ratio right around 1. Species with ratios less than 1 are NOT stable.





(1)C-12 and N-14 are 1.00 exactly


(2) C-12 wouldn't decay but N-16 would (7 protons/9 neutrons)


(3) C-14 isn't stable but N-14 has a ratio of 1.00 so it is


(4) both are unstable so decay happens
Reply:only in 4 both isotopes are unstable and therefore radioactive. C-12 and N-14 are the stable, most abundat isotopes of carbon and nitrogen. they practically do not decay.


Earliest reference on the life of Prophet Muhammad.?

The Prophet Muhammad died in 632 C.E. Is it true that the earliest material on his life that we possess was written by Ibn Ishaq in 750 C.E., in other words, a hundred twenty years after Muhammad’s death?

Earliest reference on the life of Prophet Muhammad.?
No, during Muhammad's lifetime, his companions keep a record or memorise whatever he said or did, and this is called "hadith" or "sunnah" or tradition of the Prophet. The Sunnah is used as reference second to the Koran in Islam. Ibn Ishaq's book, or any biography on Muhammad, is not used as a reference in Islam. It's just an attempt by a learned man to convey knowledge.
Reply:The quran was written when prophet mohammed was alive.


It was written by the companions, then it was collected after his death within ten years.
Reply:Are you a Muslim?





Have you ever read Quran or any book of Sahi Hadith? If yes! then you will find a living prophet who is getting instructions from the Allah and advising his companions and followers.





The Quran %26amp; Hadith are the earliest references reflecting the real life of Muhammad.





I think your question is about the Biography Books well known as "Serat ul Nabi". The main source of any Serat book is Quran and Hadith.





Ibn Ishaq was not the first to compile his Serat Book. However Ibn Ishaq is very famous writer and is considered the best on the subject of Serat books. Read history of "Serat" on Islamic Webs.





Peace ans Blessings!
Reply:Yeah thats usually how it works in regards to religion...People wait hundreds of years to write the message down....You would think that it would be an immediate thing...But then again you have to kill enough people to get your message across and sometimes that can take hundreds of years.

How do I reference long file names in DOS and other tricky ones.?
Here's a great tip for using cmd in winXP.





You type the first few characters of something then hit the tab key. It will automatically fill in the rest of the characters in the correct format based on what available valid entries there are.





Example:





You type CD sou%26lt;tab%26gt;





The command line will automatically read CD "Soundtracks"





You type CD doc%26lt;tab%26gt;





It will automatically fill in CD "documents and settings"





Major time saver, works for files, deletes, copies, commands, and everything else.
Reply:It the directory Soundtracks


is exist that means it is not under c:\ it is under other directory.if you believe it is too long rename it and make it less than 8 characters, lets say soundtrk and make sure it is under the mother directory which is c:\
Reply:Well if you are using "command" (as opposed to "cmd") and the filename is longer than 8 characters then it only accepts the first 6 characters for the filename, then adds a "~" and then a number. If there are two files like this:





programaaa.txt


programbbb.txt





Then programaaa.txt becomes "progra~1.txt" and programbbb.txt becomes "progra~2.txt"





Try the following (one should work):


cd soundt~1


cd "soundtracks"





For more info see the source.
Reply:Does it work on the other long named folders, i.e Unknown Artist, Raggae_Tracks?





It sounds to me like you are just not entering the right name for the SoundTracks folder.





File names are case sensitive.





Are you putting a %26lt;space%26gt; between the two words? Or is there a "_" between the two words? Or a "~" at the end?





I see no other reason why the short named folders work, but not the long named one. It's gotta be something to do with spelling, etc.
Reply:Use command.com only as a last resort. Try typing cmd into the run box instead of command.com. Same thing, but for some reason (that is beyond my comprehension) it is better. That should also help fix your problem.
Reply:Well it's crude, but you can access longnames by their first 8 characters and ^1





try cd Soundtra^1





for that matter try





cd Sound*





in general, blanks are handled with quotes:





cd "Documents and Settings"
Reply:The format for dos file names is 8 and 3. Eight characters for the file name and 3 for the extension. Take the first 7 letters and add a ~ (tilde) at the end. for example cd Soundtr~. This should work.

Dear,





What is a Virtual Function?


A virtual function is a member function of a class, whose functionality can be over-ridden in its derived classes. It is one that is declared as virtual in the base class using the virtual keyword. The virtual nature is inherited in the subsequent derived classes and the virtual keyword need not be re-stated there. The whole function body can be replaced with a new set of implementation in the derived class.





What is Binding?


Binding refers to the act of associating an object or a class with its member. If we can call a method fn() on an object o of a class c, we say that the object o is binded with the method fn(). This happens at compile time and is known as static or compile - time binding. The calls to the virtual member functions are resolved during run-time. This mechanism is known as dynamic binding. The most prominent reason why a virtual function will be used is to have a different functionality in the derived class. The difference between a non-virtual member function and a virtual member function is, the non-virtual member functions are resolved at compile time.





How does a Virtual Function work?


Whenever a program has a virtual function declared, a v - table is constructed for the class. The v-table consists of addresses to the virtual functions for classes that contain one or more virtual functions. The object of the class containing the virtual function contains a virtual pointer that points to the base address of the virtual table in memory. Whenever there is a virtual function call, the v-table is used to resolve to the function address. An object of the class that contains one or more virtual functions contains a virtual pointer called the vptr at the very beginning of the object in the memory. Hence the size of the object in this case increases by the size of the pointer. This vptr contains the base address of the virtual table in memory. Note that virtual tables are class specific, i.e., there is only one virtual table for a class irrespective of the number of virtual functions it contains. This virtual table in turn contains the base addresses of one or more virtual functions of the class. At the time when a virtual function is called on an object, the vptr of that object provides the base address of the virtual table for that class in memory. This table is used to resolve the function call as it contains the addresses of all the virtual functions of that class. This is how dynamic binding is resolved during a virtual function call.





The following code shows how we can write a virtual function in C++ and then use the same to achieve dynamic or runtime polymorphism.





#include %26lt;iostream.h%26gt;


class base


{


public:


virtual void display()


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;”\nBase”;


}


};


class derived : public base


{


public:


void display()


{


cout%26lt;%26lt;”\nDerived”;


}


};





void main()


{





base *ptr = new derived();


ptr-%26gt;display();


}





In the above example, the pointer is of type base but it points to the derived class object. The method display() is virtual in nature. Hence in order to resolve the virtual method call, the context of the pointer is considered, i.e., the display method of the derived class is called and not that of the base. If the method was non virtual in nature, the display() method of the base class would have been called.





Virtual Constructors and Destructors


A constructor cannot be virtual because at the time when the constructor is invoked the virtual table would not be available in the memory. Hence we cannot have a virtual constructor.





A virtual destructor is one that is declared as virtual in the base class and is used to ensure that destructors are called in the proper order. It is to be remembered that destructors are called in the reverse order of inheritance. If a base class pointer points to a derived class object and we some time later use the delete operator to delete the object, then the derived class destructor is not called. Refer to the code that follows:





#include %26lt;iostream.h%26gt;


class base


{


public:


~base()


{





}


};





class derived : public base


{


public:


~derived()


{





}


};





void main()


{





base *ptr = new derived();


// some code


delete ptr;


}





In this case the type of the pointer would be considered. Hence as the pointer is of type base, the base class destructor would be called but the derived class destructor would not be called at all. The result is memory leak. In order to avoid this, we have to make the destructor virtual in the base class. This is shown in the example below:





#include %26lt;iostream.h%26gt;


class base


{


public:


virtual ~base()


{





}


};





class derived : public base


{


public:


~derived()


{





}





};





void main()


{





base *ptr = new derived();


// some code


delete ptr;


}





Conclusion:


Virtual methods should be used judiciously as they are slow due to the overhead involved in searching the virtual table. They also increase the size of an object of a class by the size of a pointer. The size of a pointer depends on the size of an integer. Note that in DOS based systems the size of a pointer is 2 bytes whereas in UNIX based systems it is 4 bytes.

I need help with my review questions for my web page design class?

I'm majoring in web page design and I have some review questions that I can't seem to find the answer to. Hopefully someone can help me.

I need help with my review questions for my web page design class?
1: A. However, the question as presented does not conform to best practices.





The HTML 4.01 specification recommends that all tags be upper-case, and the XHTML 1.0 specification recommends that all tags be lower-case, so it would properly be %26lt;title%26gt;Elements Of Design%26lt;/title%26gt; (XHTML) or %26lt;TITLE%26gt;Elements Of Design%26lt;/TITLE%26gt; (HTML)

2. The spacing between lines is called leading; the spacing between characters is called kerning. So there's no right answer presented here.





As written, the closest correct answer is C, since the other terms are made up or completely inappropriate.





However, "justifying" suggests monospacing the distance between all characters on a line so that the line takes up the entire line length (area between margins). Kerning is the practice of repositioning characters so that the space between them appears appropriate.





Your professor may have confused leading and kerning. Point that out.

3. There are 12 points to a pica and 6 picas to an inch. So, if something is 5 inches long, it is 30 picas (or 360 points).





As a totally unrelated aside, the basic measures of 12 points to a pica and 6 picas to an inch is why computer monitor resolution is 72 dpi.





A point is a pixel is a dot. Therefore, whenever someone talks about points, pixels or dots (dpi), they are talking about the same-sized element.





Since there are 12 points to a pica and 6 picas to an inch, that means that 72 points is an inch. You'll notice that it's not often a 72-point character is actually an inch tall or inch wide, due to the way fonts are actually designed; but the point is, the character is expected to take up one inch when it is at 72 points.





Since a point, dot and a pixel are the same thing, 72 dpi is also a 1 inch = 1 inch measurement.





So, at a screen resolution of 72 dpi, anything that is supposed to be an inch tall appears to be an inch tall on your screen.





And that's why, when you work with a 300 dpi image on screen, it wants to show so much bigger than its actual dimensions. In fact, an image at 300 dpi appears about 4.2 times bigger on screen than it actually is.





So, if you scan in a 4in x 5in snapshot at 300 dpi, it will actually appear on screen to be about 17in x 21in. It's really only 4x5, but because the screen renders 72 dots per inch, it displays an image with a higher resolution much larger than it actually is; because it can't cram 4.2 pounds of dots into a 1-pound bag, basically.





The same works in reverse. If you scan a 4x5 photo in at 35 dpi, it will show on the screen at about 2x2.5 inches.





Why? Because at 35 dpi, the image has half the resolution of the screen; therefore, it appears half-sized. It is still, in reality, 4x5, and will print out at that size, but the resolution is so low, your screen shrinks it; it tries to make a half-pound of apples fill a one-pound bag, but the same way it can't stretch the bag, it can't shrink it, so only the bottom half of the bag is filled.





Toss that out to your professor for extra credit if you want.





4. D. HTML stands for "hyper text markup language." The "markup" in that means "tags."





5. B. A style sheet is a series of instructions on how to render named elements. It applies to many programs, not just Web pages; for example, Word, InDesign and XPress all use style sheets.
Reply:For goodness sakes, do your own homework! If you don't know the answers to those questions, then you weren't paying attention in class. Alternatively, there are these things called "Search Engines" perhaps you've heard of Yahoo/Google? Give em a try.

I am trying to access a C# assembly from VB6 but it doesn't show up in the references list -- it is in the GAC

I could be way off base on this, but I've programmed vb6 as well as c++ and c#, so give me a minute. A c# assembly is managed code, and (probably) doesn't have the usual entry points that can be called by vb6 (i.e. standard DLL externals). I'm gonna say that you can only add project references to standard DLLs/OCXs, typelibs, that is, unmanaged code.





Yes, you can call managed (c#) code from unmanaged (c++) code but not, as far as I know, vb6.





If, OTOH, you meant VB.net, that's a whole different issue. You should be able to search/browse for the c# assembly because, although it may be in the GAC, it's also in the bin directory of the solution you used to create it.

Maybe permissions embedded by the assembly author?

What to do with loud neighbors? I cant even hear ppl on my phone when im trying to talk b/c they are so loud.?

I know ive asked for advice before on this. But my neighbor only says he pays rent and can make as much noise as he wants. My landlord says she isnt goin to do anything at all. But its really really disturbing and annoying due to the fact i can hear them screaming and understand word for word of what is said. i looked up my noise ordinance for my area. I dont fully understand it so i need some help. Cops never seem to really do anything in this area.one said he would check it out last week but we havent seen him yet. Here is what the noise ordiance says. According to what it says what should i do? What would you do? I want to move (oh god dont i) but i cant afford to right now.

What to do with loud neighbors? I cant even hear ppl on my phone when im trying to talk b/c they are so loud.?
Call the police non emergency number. Explain the situation and ask that officers get dispatched to deal with it. They may just warn your neighbors the first couple times. But eventually they will get sick of going out there and start handing out citations like candy to your neighbors.
Reply:Do you live near me? I'm having the same problem





" JEKOB!!!! JOSEPH!!!! GET THE HELL BACK HERE, MUCHO GUSTO!!!"





It is very, very, very annoying.
Reply:Have a talk withbthem first to discuss this matter and see if it can be resolved. If not, then call the police.
Reply:Keep calling the police who are supposed to enforce the law, especially between certain hours. Enough calls and as Kenneth said, they will start handing out citations when they get tired of going there for the same problem over and over again.





We all pay rent or a mortgage but that doesn't give anyone the right to disturb others so they are wrong about that. Rent only gives them the right to live on that property, not to disturb everyone around them. Start saving your money so you can get away from them as soon as possible.
Reply:I'm with "arbeit" on this one. If they like it loud, give 'em loud. Find out when they sleep, and CRANK the volume at your place. If they say anything, tell e'm you pay rent, and you can make as much noise as you want.
Reply:File complaints adnaseum with the cops and city hall. For real fun, get their name and go to a pay phone, call the power company and tell them you are the people you hate and claim to be moving and that you need the power/water/gas shut off. Hilarity ensues.
Reply:I think the only option you have is to move. If the landlord is not going to do anything about it then you are probably going to have to move somewhere else. Maybe you should try talking to the neighbor nicely and see if there is a way to work it out. OR maybe you can be loud and crazy and see how they like it. But if they are as loud as you say then they probably wouldnt hear your noise. !
Reply:I had a similar problem and the local police would come out and warn them then leave. A few days later we would go through the same process again. After the 3rd time I got on our city's web site, got the mayors email address and got him involved. Haven't had a problem since. If the police won't help go straight to the top.
Reply:Do us a favor and don't post crap like this. Your screen name suggests you have too much time on your hands. Your just jealous because your neighbors are having fun and your bored. If they were doing anything wrong the police would be there to do something about it.


Are there any viola pomposa's in existence or still made today? (5-string cello [C-G-d-a-e'] invented by Bach)

The International Music Co. (NY) edition of J. S. Bach’s Solo Cello Suite #6 in D was “composed originally for an instrument with 5 strings C-G-d-a-e', 'Viola Pomposa' which was invented by J. S. Bach". (1) Are there other historical references to this instrument? (2) Are old instruments still in existence? (3) Do modern makers still make it? (4) What string length, string gauges and string materials do they use? (Shorter length is needed so the high e’ string won’t need to be tuned so tight, but the shorter length for the lower strings means they need to be tuned looser, thus lack volume and sonority.) (5) How will the body and neck support the added tension of the extra 5th string? (6) What is the proper width, length and depth of the instrument body for the best resonance and sonority? (Will the instrument sound like a high-pitched cello or like a low-pitched viola?) (7) Would a 4-string version (G-d-a-e’) add anything to the String Quartet, Cello Quartet or Cello Orchestra?

Are there any viola pomposa's in existence or still made today? (5-string cello [C-G-d-a-e'] invented by Bach)
There are modern 5 string cellos with C,G,D,A,E, tuning, mostly of the electric variety. These are mostly used in non-classical groups. Having the hogher register available adds to the ability of the cello to carry more of the lead and melody lines, as opposed to its more traditional supporting role. There was also an instrument in the mid 1800's called the Arpeggion. Franz Schubert wrote a sonanta for that instrument. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arpeggione





This instrument is not being currently used much either.
Reply:The only thing I know of that sounds close is a five-string violin/viola. I had a friend in college that had one - it was pretty cool even though it was electric. I've seen others and they have all been electric. It had c-d-g-a-e strings and sounded like a viola/violin as it had the range of both instruments.





As for other old instruments - I've seen and played dulcimers, psaltries, zithers, and knew a guy who made a hurdy-gurdy.





As for the rest of your questions, sorry I can't answer them. I suggest that you find a good luthier in your area and ask him/her - or if there's a college with a good music program - ask a music history professor there.
Reply:I can only confidently say that it is unlikely that this instrument would add anything to the string quartet because the string quartet came in later. I've never come across this instrument but there are many collections of historical instruments that could have one. Here in Britain we have the Royal Academy of Music in London, and the Victoria and Albert musuem sometimes has old instruments. This sounds like it might be a relative of the viol, and there are still examples of that around.
