i'm a semi-professional photographer; check out my portfolio please: http://itachisxeyes.daportfolio.com/ if your on deviantArt this is my page: http://itachisxeyes.deviantart.com/ feel free to watch me, i'll most likely return the favor. at the moment i'm an undergrad student in Information Security. foolish humans, you scurry to-and-fro bowing to the whims of your idols. you feel justified because of your meager struggle and your less then impressive sacrifice. you claim you can think independently, but you are; enslaved, bound, and blinded, perhaps experiencing delusions of grandeur. you are in denial. the cake is delicious, and you must eat it.

  • Windows XP Service Pack 1?

    Due to some networking limitations, I need to get a hold of a stand alone installer for SP1 for Windows XP.

    I'm having trouble finding it. The SP1a express installer actually wants a network connection to complete the install which is not an option for me.

    I also heard it was possible to skip over SP1 and go directly to SP2, is that true?

  • Evaporative Emission Control System issue?

    After I got my car out of the shop from an inspection that required a new catalytic converter I got two OBD-II codes:

    P0441 and P0446

    I do notice that after driving for a while you get a faint aroma of gas towards the back after parking and getting out (both sides).

    This is a 1999 Toyota Corolla, any help or pointers would be appreciated.

  • Smoking in Feudal Japan?

    I know that during the Edo period tattoos where considered taboo and so a Samurai would probably not have a tattoo.

    But what about pipe smoking? Was smoking pipe tobacco considered something a Samurai should not do?

  • What is the purpose of bitwise shifting?

    I never really used bitwise shifting, and I'm kind of taking interest in it now. I get the basic idea; but is all bitwise shifting used for is an alternative to arithmetic? Or is there something deeper then CPU efficient math that I'm missing?

  • what version of vmware is right for me?

    firstly it has to be either free or cheap (under say 70 dollars)

    and secondly it has to support both Windows and GNU/Linux, optionally FreeBSD as guest OSs

    the host archetecture will be amd64 and i expect the guests to also be amd64.

    the plan:

    i've dual booted, tri booted, even quad booted but its a pain in the butt to reboot everytime. i've messed with VirtualBox but its just not powerful enough yet. and i saw a video where they had the compiz cube set up with each side a diffrent instance of a virtual machine.

    this is pretty much what i want/need but i'm very very unfamlilure with VMware and all these diffrent versions sound very simular and really the documentation is just trying to sell that particular version not really give any solid pros and cons.

    basically this is for a workstation not a server.

  • pointers leaving me clueless, odd output, C?

    so i'm screwing around just to get a feel for pointers, and also to familiarize myself with malloc() and friends.

    anyways here is my little program:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int in;

    int *p1 = ∈

    int main(void)

    {

    printf("enter decimal: ");

    scanf("%d", p1);

    printf("%d", p1);

    return 0;

    }

    /*what ends up happening is i get random numbers 7 digits long...are they the addresses of memory in decimal? i know if i change the last printf to %p i just get the address of memory that the pointer points to, in hex. how can i get it to use the pointer to print out the decimal that was taken in?*/

  • i'm looking for a microcontroller but don't know exactly where to look...?

    well basically for this little project i'm doing, i expect to need some horse power, i was looking for about an 80MHz processor but no less then 64MHz and no less then 64MB of primary memory, and i've got a lot of code so i would need maybe 64MB or more to actually store the code (because i need wiggle room for upgrades. but this might not be a problem because i'm actually going to attempt to hook up a hard drive and could probably make use of that space as well and just have a core system on the EEPROM)

    anyways, that being said, i'm having the hardest time finding one that powerful.

    any suggestions?

    also i have an Arduino Duemilanove, it doesn't measure up but if there was a way to add to it as far as processor and primary memory goes that would be an acceptable work around too.

  • What are some professional photo labs?

    a lot of the local, commercial ones where i live don't print large enough for me to actually sell anything (as far as selling prints i'm a n00b)

    most of my photos can be blown up to 24x36 inches, not real big but bigger then walmart or ritz or anywhere else i know of will print.

    and i know i don't have the money to actually get my own printing equipment.

    i mostly do digital these days if the lab has bias then i'd want to go with ones that process digital (though i'd figure most would do both film and digital)

  • AIM text not working, any ideas on why?

    my friend tried sending my phone an AIM text but it didn't work, i didn't get anything. and we vitrified she was using the correct number.

    my carrier is Cricket, could that be why? i know Cricket is kind of lacking in the extra features department, it usually isn't supported for other things of this nature. i'm just curious.

  • Passing arrays to functions in C?

    i read that you use a pointer to do that job, but honestly, i had trouble understanding what i read. i would be grateful if someone could explain how you pass an array to a function in C (if it makes any difference i'm working with ANSI C99)

    so for the sake of example:

    int function(i don't know what goes here, if anything)

    {

    some code to process array

    }

    function(pointer to array. not sure how this goes either);

  • What are some band similar in sound to...?

    -A Skylit Drive

    -Emarosa

    -Sky Eats Airplane

    -Dance Gavin Dance (some early stuff)

    i suppose post-hardcore would be the genre, but i just don't want raw sound so much as the melodic tunes offered up and blended in with these bands, and please don't just answer because you know a post-hardcore band, only if you have heard or are anything from these bands in particular, but cause they are slightly different in sound from the usual post-hardcore with their melodies.
