How to create facebook apps that share auto generated images?
I've seen many facebook apps generate an image using the user's profile picture and some other images etc, and let the users share it.
can someone please tell me what coding methods they use to create new image using text overlays and other images etc..?
(I know a little about opengraph and other facebook share buttons on the web, but I have very little knowledge in PHP image manipulation. A little help or link to a guide will be great help... Thank you!
1 AnswerProgramming & Design5 years agoWindows 8.1 and Ubuntu 14.04LTS dual boot error. Help??
Ok so here's my question briefly.
I bought a new laptop (Dell inspiron 3543 with 5th gen Core i7 processor, 8GB RAM and 1 TB HDD).
I deleted all the partitions using GParted, and created an unallocated space in the beginning,
and then created an extended partition and inside that extended partition I created 3 logical partitions for root, home and swap for Ubuntu installation. I also created some NTFS partitions inside this extended partition to be used as storage for both OS's.
Then I got a fresh DVD of win8.1 and installed it in the system by Creating a new partition in the unallocated space while installing windows.
it installed smoothly.
Now my question is:-
When I tried to install ubuntu, (I chose "something else" in the installation options) the partition table doesn't show me any of the logical or primary partitions I've created!!!
So I don't know where to install all this. it only shows and empty 1TB HDD. But when running windows directly from the DVD, the file explorer (or what ever you call it on linux) clearly shows all the partitions. I can see all the partitions in the 'Launcher'.
But not in the installation menu partition table.
Why is this? what can I do to resolve this.
Please help!!!
PS: Partition table format was msdos, not GPT ('cause gpt would give me an error when installing windows 8.1)

But I don't know how to use an audio clip in C programming. (Please note that this must be done in C. not in C++)
Can somebody help me with this please?
5 AnswersProgramming & Design7 years agoC programming - scanf function -Help needed.?
I'm creating a simple minigame software in Dos mode.
I used the switch statement to switch between games.
First of all, I'll give you the few code lines that I'm having trouble with.
case 1:
case1label: //the label to mark the position
system("cls");
printf("\n\nThis is the Math Quiz game. \n\n 1] Continue:\n 2] Back to Main menu:\n");
scanf("%d",&choice);//getting user input to select the choice
if(choice==1){
mathquiz();
}
else if(choice==2){
goto start;
}
else {
printf("\nPlease enter your choice correctly:");
delay(1200);
goto case1label;
}
break;
now this code works perfectly if the user enters an integer value as the choice. But when he enters a character (char) or any other key, the whole program crashes. please tell me what's wrong here. or what can I do to make it work.
**Please note that I'm new to programming (still a basic level student).
**this program is written in C.

7 AnswersDogs8 years agoUrgent-Computer Partition resizing and reformatting advice needed- Can you please help?
I have a 320GB hard disk, and My C: drive is 10 GB. D: drive is 40GB. there are 2 other partitions as well. I've installed windows xp in the C drive and windows 7 in D: drive. Now I want to give up XP and move on to Linux, but still I want to use windows 7 also. So I'm planning to use windows 7 as my main OS, and use linux parallel to windows 7.
To do that, many people advice me to install win7 on C: and linux on D: but the C drive is only 10 GB so it's not enough for 7.
1) So what is the safest way to resize the C: partition by shrinking D:???
2) Or can I just change the drive letter of C: to D: and D: to C:.? will it work without any side effects?
somebody please give me a detailed answer.
(I'd appreciate if you can explain the meaning of this "Drive letter" thing, and why we always should install our main operating system on C: drive.)

3 AnswersSoftware8 years agoIs 10GB enough for windows xp?
I am a Computer Science student and I always need to practice programming using Turbo C++. This software always crashes on Windows 7 so I decided to use both Win7 and XP on one computer; I have an extra partition of 10 GB in my hard drive which I can use for installing XP, but I'm not sure whether it'll be enough. can someone give me some advice on this?
(I know how to install both at once)
I only hope to use XP for Turbo C++ so no other software will be installed on XP.
PS.
I have hardly used XP, so that's why I'm asking for advice. Before moving on to windows 7, I was using Linux based systems.

5 AnswersLanguages9 years agoGerman Shepherd and Doberman! Which one is healthiest?
I've owned GSD's before and I had to deal with so many health issues. My last GSD died recently due to a blood disorder. So I want to buy another dog soon but, I've decided to buy some breed other than GSD.
I was thinking about buying a Rhodesian Ridgeback since they are extremely hardy compared to other breeds.
But I want to know about the health of Dobermans compared to GSD so that I can clearly understand how hardy they are and then perhaps I can reconsider my choice.
Doberman Owners and Vets, please answer!
5 AnswersDogs9 years agoRhodesian Ridgeback owners and dog trainers, please answer!!!?
I have decided to buy a Rhodesian Ridgeback puppy, and I actually want a protective dog. I've heard that they are a very hardy breed and that's the main reason I'm interested in them. I had a Black GSD until now and it died recently because of a blood disorder.
So I want my next dog to be a hardy one. And it's duty will be to Guard our property and be my personal guard while I'm jogging through woods.
1) I want to know whether Rhodesian Ridgebacks are suitable for what I need.
2) To what extent can we train them?(Are they intelligent and obedient?)
3) Are they unmanageable?
(I've owned Pitbulls, and german Shepherds before so I know how to control large dogs.)
I read many articles about them on the internet, But I want to hear these things from a real Rhodesian ridgeback owner or a dog trainer who has some experience with them.

1 AnswerProgramming & Design9 years agoWhy does a dog attack it's OWNER?
I recently saw an article about 'Fatal dog attacks' and I was shocked when I saw most of those victims were brutally attacked by their own dogs. I mean, slight nipping is one thing but killing their owner is unbelievable to hear.
*How can this happen???
*What can we do to prevent it?
*Does that mean we should always buy submissive puppies?
*What about guard dog breeds??? (They seem to be very dangerous according to this.)
I wish I'd get some detailed answers on how to prevent these problems.
4 AnswersDogs9 years agoCan police dogs survive being attacked by criminals?
I've always seen on videos how people have trained large dogs for personal protection and police work.
I've also seen many people being attacked by these dogs. (I saw many real videos of police dogs in action- in real life situations).
When I saw those videos I recognized how dangerous these dogs can be to a criminal. But I wonder what if a criminal attacks a dog. What if they hit the dog on the head with something or stab the dog???
Can these dogs survive such an attack and continue attacking the intruder?
or at least are there any special kinda dog breeds with stronger muscles that are used in police work??
(I've seen that mastiff types have bigger and stronger skulls but I've rarely seen them used in police work. But german shepherds, malinois, and dobermans are widely used as police attack dogs although their heads and legs are much thin & small compared to mastiffs. how can they [Dobes, or mals] survive in real life situations, as they seem to be easily get hurt???.)
I own a GSD/Mal mix and my cousin owns a purebred GSD (4 yrs old), so I have a clear idea about the size of these kinda dogs.
Can anyone tell me, are dobermans, mals and GSD's really that tough???
