Hello Yahoo! Answers tech wiz's.

I recently purchased a Rosewill External Enclosure for a old but still useful 160GB (IDE) Western Digital 3.5" hard drive. Made all the necessary connections(power and IDE 40 pin connector), put jumper settings to MA(master).

So I plugged in the power cord and switched ON. Hard drive is not spinning but I feel heat dissipating from the circuit board of the hard drive(it keeps getting hotter). So is that a symptom of a "short" occurring on the circuit board of the hard drive or the circuit board of the enclosure's connectors?

Furthermore, when I plug in the USB(external enclosure to laptop) using the provided cable, nothing happens. Does this further show the issue is with the hard drive?

Appreciate any help that is provided. I will provide updated information if it is requested to help determine the issue. Thanks.

To initialize the program, I have a couple of labels each designated to a particular array of numbers.

eg. arb: .word 2,0,4,0,6,0,8,0,10,0,12,0,14,0,16,0,18,0,20,0,22,0,24,0,26,0,28,0,30,0,32,0

Now what I want to do is take each of the values in the array and call them one after the other to be passed through another procedure.

Should go something like:

la $a0, arb

li $a1, 128

add $t0, $a0, $a0

add $t0, $t0, $t0

lw $a2, 0($t0)

... #goes though another procedure and then gets next number in array

Running my program through the simulator is giving me an error at this part of the code, any help is appreciated.

So my program is supposed to take an integer from the user and check if it is a power of three. If it is, it prints a statement stating it is as well as prints out the exponent of three that would give me the integer input. I know I'm supposed to use a while loop to check the integer such as num/3 and num%3. But I am just lost on how to put it all together, also I'm thinking that I have to use pow(something, something) from the math.h library but I'm lost on how to implement it. This is what I have so far, not much, I'm sure I'm heading in the right direction but I just don't know how to continue.

#include <stdio.h>

#include <math.h>

#define BASE 3

int main()

{

int num, num2 ;

printf("Enter a positive integer: ");

scanf("%d", &num);

if(num <= 0)

{

printf("Invalid integer entered!\n");

return 1;

}

while(num >= 1); {

num2 = num%BASE;

// I am aware a modulo and division operation should take //place here to check

// whether the integer is divisible by three and if there is a //remainder

}

if(num2==BASE)

printf("The integer %d is a power of %d.\n", num, BASE);

else

printf("The integer %d is not a power of %d.\n", num, BASE);

return 0;

}

It doesn't look like much, and that's because I'm stuck on the checking the integer and printing the exponent part. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

So I have to write a program that takes a user inputted integer. Then print out the integer digit by digit in reverse order.

#include <stdio.h>

int main()

{

int remain = 0, reverse = 0;

int num, n;

printf("Enter a integer: ");

scanf("%d", &num);

do

{

remain = reverse +(num%10);

num /= 10;

if(num != 0)

{

reverse = remain * 10;

} else

{

reverse = remain;

}

}

while(num != 0);

printf("Digit (%d) :\t%d\n",n, reverse);

return 0;

}

So this piece here takes a integer and just prints out the reverse all in a single line. IE. 1234 -> 4321

But I want to print out each digit in reverse order in the form:

Digit (1): 4

Digit (2): 3

Digit (3): 2

Digit (4): 1

and so on...

I know I have to use a for loop and that's why I declared int n.

for(n = 1; n<=(something); n++)

I just can't figure out how to mesh this for loop within the rest of the code to give me the desired output. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I recently installed the Service Pack 1 for Vista Premium from Windows Update. On the third day after installation, I noticed audio issues. Whenever I play a video or a movie, sound comes out as normal. I leave the computer idle for maybe a minute and then I go back and play something, no sound comes out of my speakers. Even though, in the volume mixer windows, it shows green bars moving up and down indicating sound is being played but it is not coming out of the speakers.

I am writing a case study paper on a gaming subculture that I am not familiar with. Although some might not say NASCAR is a game, many game attributes still pertain to it.

I would like to receive responses from Yahoo users about what makes NASCAR interesting to you?

Some thinking questions are:

What makes NASCAR a game or not a game?

Who are the players?

What is the motivation for playing or participating in NASCAR?

What do people get out of it?

Is it fun? Why and why not?

What kind of skills or abilities are necessary?

What kind of "insider" knowledge exists?

How does the world of NASCAR define our culture?

I am holding the initial perspective view that I do not know anything about NASCAR because I have never had real interest in it. So to all who provide responses that I can use to better understand NASCAR, I really appreciate your input.

What's your opinion on the overall idea of occupying the Middle East.

We all, the humans, the dominant species on this planet have seen the worse of all kinds this past half-decade.

With 9/11 to the N. Korea missile tests to the gas prices to the continued struggle in the Middle East, to the damaging environment, to the never ending fear of the end of the world.

Can we, as humans, still control our fate? Or is it already set in stone? Is it too late to right our wrongs? Give back to mother nature what she has willingly given to us. Can we still survive at the rate we are going?
