Hi all,

I've been battling with creating (rather modifying a custom page someone else before me has created) a custom master page for my company for a while now; it looks great-ish, but there's a major flaw in there, behind the scenes it's full of errors; I have to link the master page to just about every file such as newForm.aspx and etc. further the most major issue is that a non admin user can't see the custom content; but farm admins can see the custom content just fine.

I suspect there's a whole lot missing in the master page (as I've tried the same thing with a default page, and it worked fine, so my permission settings are fine, even though for non Admins it says "error: access denied", the issue is the master sheet for sure, since the error dissapears  when i switch back to one of MOSS default masters) thing is i don't have enough knowledge of master pages (I am relatively new to SharePoint 2007; having worked with 2003 years ago. I've never done any major customizations like this one)  to fix it on my own, even though i've spent the past few weeks trying to do so.

The project I'm working on (an intranet for a media company) is due to go live Sept 9th, thing is, without proper user permissions it'll be tricky to make it work properly, and I've been battling with the master page for about two weeks now trying to make it work, I fix one issue, but keep finding more.

I appreciate any and all the help i can get on this one as all the code's starting to look the same to me now, and maybe a fresh set of eyes will help.

Master page code and screenshot of what it looks like and what it should look like for all users below the cuts, if you need any extra info please contact me, and I'll provide for you; I really really appreciate it if someone can help me out on this one.

Hello everyone. I am currently taking a Digital Circuits class and am required to write a program in MS Excel for a project. What I am required to do is write a program (using excel, of course) that converts a 16-bit binary number into decimal and hexadecimal. This program needs to be set up so when someone enters a 16-digit binary number, it will automatically convert this number into decimal and hexadecimal. I can't use any of the available excel functions. I have very, very little experience using Excel and all I know how to do is type numbers into the different columns. That's it. I also have NO prior experience in computer programming. None at all.

Does anyone know of any good resources online that can help me with writing an Excel program? Maybe, would anyone know what code to use for this binary-decimal and binary-hexadecimal conversion process? If anyone has any suggestions, tips, hints, tricks, or information that could assist me, I'd really appreciate it. I'm not looking for someone to do the project for me. I'm just looking for an experienced excel user that has written programs using this software or similar software, that could give me some advice.

Thank you very much.

OK, a bit of background. I've mostly been an apple user my whole life. I'm relatively competent in unix and I know a few programming languages, et cetera, but I'm a complete n00b to windows aside from using it on school/office computers where I am just running a few apps and it's straightforward and all ser up. So far Windows Vista Home Premium edition is driving me bonkers. I'm slowly picking up how to do things but it's still pretty nutty. Obviously I know how to run programmes and open files, but it's actual system maintenence type tasks that are weirding me out. Like when I install a programme, where do the different components traditionally get put? How do I set the screensaver to go off when I push the mouse into the corner instead of just when it's been sitting a while? Those aren't the questions I am asking now, as I am sure I will come to figure them out in time. I've already worked out the difference between an account with administrator permissions and an actual administrator account (the second being more like root). I actually bought this machine (an hp pavilion tx1115nr) to run openSuSE and reluctantly switched back to Vista when I couldn't get a lot of the hardware rnning under openSuSE.

So here is the deal. I have a laser printer, a Samsung ml-2010. When I had it on my powerbook I can't remember if I even had to install anything.

So I got out the CD and ran the software and plugged in the printer. When I plugged it in I think that I got something asking me if I wanted to automatically install the drivers. I was running a driver installation programme but I clicked OK anyway. I finished running the software on the CD (two sets of drivers? or maybe the computer set up the drivers and the CD had some software to access extra features like double-sided printing). After I was done I could't get the printer to work. I checked out samsung's website and saw that they had seperate Vista drivers with installation instructions not to click yes when the little box comes up asking me to automatically install the drivers. I had already done that but I tried installing the vista download anyway. Still no success printing.

So I am thinking that now I have to undo whatever I did when I told the computer to automatically install drivers? I was trying to figure out where those were and how to remove them, but when I go to Control Panel> Hardware & Sound> Remove a Printer the only printer I see listed is the Microsoft XPS document writer (which I think is similar to printing to a pdf file on a mac).

What do I do?

To those interested in programming, A.I., robotics, real-time systems.



RTSS 2007 - 3rd Students Design Competition
Dec 3, 2007
Tucson, Arizona, USA

CiberMouse@RTSS2007
http://www.ieeta.pt/~lau/web_ciberRTSS07/

A competition among autonomous robotic agents that have to rescue
three rally teams lost in the desert during the last Lisbon-Dakar
rally. Cars send a localization RF beacon that is used to guide the
rescue agents. No GPS info is available. Each agent can only rescue
one team. Which team will be rescued first in order to continue the
race asap?

Make your own team and participate in this challenge by programming
the rescue agent to reach the beacon and return. It is a great way to

test your skills in reactive real-time programming.

Technically, the rules are similar to last year rules (check the
website). The tools are all available so that you can develop and
test you robotic agent.

Stay tuned. We will keep you posted. If you already have an interest
on this, send us an email! (see our contacts on the webpage!). It is
the best way to be aware of the lastest news.

PS: Could you please forward this call to anyone you know that
might be interested? Thanks a lot

Question for all programmers out there, in January I'm starting my MS in Information Systems. This is not a programming intensive major, but I intend on picking up a few languages along the way and I'd like to continue to upkeep them afterwards. The majority of programming in this degree will be spent in JAVA (I intend on learning PERL, Python, and probably some combination of the M$ languages [C#, VB.NET, etc.]). Anyway, to get to my question.

I don't want to do development on my machine, I'd rather run it all on a sandbox, and I have the space to have another machine running nearby. What would your recommendations be on specs on said machine, OS, memory req's, etc? I have my own feelings and I'll respond in comments when a few people have responded.

Ok, so I obviously don't know how the computer works, or the internet. But I was just thinking, is it hard to make your own version of livejournal? Do I need to take a bunch of computer programming to do that? Cuz I was thinking of making my own, except it's not livejournal, more like a place for people to create their own profile page. And no it's not another facebook, myspace.. thing. But yeah, is it possible?

This may be a bad place to post this,

but I was wondering, what do you usually do when you're stressed out about a computer programming problem you can't solve.

Do you
a) Ask someone else to solve it
b) Come back to it later (i.e. look at it with fresh eyes)
c) Avoid it all together.
d) Other?

Regarding my ideas for reducing website bandwidth needs, I've come up with a toolset to implement them. "webcrush" requires Java and Ruby to be installed, but otherwise comes with 5 OSS tools that optimize different kinds of website files. The default mode does a non-destructive optimization; and the aggressive mode (when complete) will convert GIFs to PNGs and cleanup HTML.

Hello Friends

I am interested in exploring web programming via Lisp, Ruby on Rails, and several of the popular Python frameworks.

Here are the features I am interested in:

* Lisp hosting including access to web servers and/or mod_lisp
* Ruby on Rails hosting
* Python hosting
* Configurable source control repository with public and private areas (SVN/Trac or better)
* SSH access
* MySQL or PostgreSQL database
* PHP support (for third-party software packages)

Has anyone here had similar needs? Would you recommend any particular hosting solution?

Thanks,
jkndrkn

Can anyone recommend a good beginners book on C?

In a few weeks time I will be using C for low level programming to solve problems. (Low level programming being the class.) C will be my second language, I already understand the basics of java objects and ADT's so preferably a book that defines clearly why C isn't object oriented...
