  • How do I find the Order/Invoice Number on a receipt (for tigerdirect rebate)?

    I bought a computer case in store at tigerdirect and understand that I'm still eligible for a rebate. The online submission form requires a "Order/Invoice Number" and I can't seem to find it on my receipt. I'm seeing "Seq #", "Appr Code:", "Resp Code" and "JNRL".

    No clue if any of these are what I'm looking for, or if it's somewhere else on the receipt.. Any guidance is appreciated!

  • When do universities typically send out offers of admission for January transfer students?

    I've applied for a transfer for the coming January term. I understand the University to which I'm applying wants to see my second midterm grades before sending me a conditional offer, and I won't know for sure until after my finals (mid December). I'm just wondering when I can expect to get some sort of response to my application? This is simply so that I know when to start thinking about living and travel arrangements.

  • Problem with c code, trying to find area of a rectangle?

    Here's what I've got..

    #include <stdio.h>

    #include <stdlib.h>

    #include <math.h>

    double getrectanglearea(double h, double w)

    {

    return h*w;

    }

    double getrectangleperimeter(double h, double w)

    {

    return 2.0*h+2.0*w;

    }

    int main(void)

    {

    double perimeter=0.0, area=0.0;

    double h=5.0;

    double w=5.0;

    area = getrectanglearea(h, w);

    perimeter = getrectangleperimeter(h, w);

    printf("Rectangle with width %lf and height %lf: area %lf perimeter %lf\n", w, h, area, perimeter);

    return EXIT_SUCCESS

    }

    It won't print anything. Not sure what's up.

  • Problem with c code, trying to find area of a rectangle?

    Here's the code I've got so far. I think it's something to do with trying to call with two variables, since my code worked fine finding the area of a circle. I'm just not sure how else to do it. Any help is appreciated!

    #include <stdio.h>

    #include <stdlib.h>

    #include <math.h>

    float rectangle(float h, w)

    {

    float a;

    float p;

    a = h*w;

    p = 2*(h+w);

    printf("rectangle has an area of %f and a base perimeter of %f\n", a, p);

    return (h, w);

    }

    int main(void)

    {

    float w;

    float h;

    printf("Enter height and width: ");

    fflush(stdout);

    scanf("%f%f", &h, &w);

    rectangle(h, w);

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;

    }

  • Trouble with powers in C?

    Trying to find the 2^5 and 2^-5 using C. This is what I've got but the output for 2^-5 is coming up as 0.00000 and I'm not sure why. I can't use any math libraries, so that's out.

    int main(void)

    {

    int x, n, k;

    int answerpositive;

    float answernegative;

    x=2;

    n=5;

    answerpositive = 1;

    for (k=0; k<n; k++)

    {

    answerpositive = answerpositive*x;

    }

    printf("%d ", answerpositive);

    answernegative = 1/answerpositive;

    printf("%f", answernegative);

    return EXIT_SUCCESS;

    }

  • What should I study to get into the renewable energy (photovoltaic or wind) industry?

    Currently enrolled in general engineering, with the option to get a BA in mechanical, electrical, or civil. However I've been looking into other programs, such as "environment and sustainability" and "environmental engineering" which may be better suited for my interests.

    Anyone out there have any experience with "sustainable technology" and willing to share some experience.

    Cheers

  • Are unopened .exe files dangerous?

    Received a phone call from microsoft today. Well not really microsoft, but they were telling me my computer was infected, and so on. Trying to get me to download some questionable software. I was mindlessly going along with his instructions, and clicked the "about us" page on the website he directed me to. It prompted a download for a .exe file, which I deleted after.

    Just wondering if I should be worried about any potential damage... thanks.

  • How do I prep a laptop for sale?

    I've got a laptop with a broken screen, not worth repairing. Figure I should wipe it clean, but it never came with a windows 7 disk, so not sure how I would go about a clean install. I considered manually uninstalling and deleting, then writing zeros to the hard drive, but manually uninstalling everything through the windows utility would take ages.

    Any tips...?

  • I'm out of ports on my router, can I attach a second one?

    I ran out of ports. Can I attach a second router to one of the ports on my current one? I know I can't hook up a second modem, so it's really the only option I can think of without upgrading my router.

    Advice?

  • What's the best way to hook up a laptop to a CRT TV?

    Long story short the screen on my laptop broke and I figure the best use for it now is as a media center for the downstairs TV.

    The TV is a CRT TV with RCA, COAX, and I believe s-video inputs. My laptop has VGA and HDMI output.

    Suggestions?

  • Uplay Actions won't unlock for AC2?

    I just started playing Assassins Creed Brotherhood and couldn't help but notice the Uplay promotion. I figured the rewards look pretty cool, so I signed up. After signing up, I received one action for an achievement in ACB, however none of my AC2 actions are unlocking (I got 1000/1000 gamerscore a while ago). Is there anyway to claim these points, without replaying the entire game..? They should naturally all unlock.

  • Windows 7 setup won't recognize harddrive?

    After the initial build, windows wouldn't recognize my brand new HD (WD 500GB green edition) in the boot setup. So to solve this I simply setup my old 150GB HD as the primary. My second HD is still recognized in the computer directories and I used it for backup and additional storage. However I want to make full use of the space, and I'm not sure why the windows 7 boot won't list in when selecting where to install the OS.

    Any ideas?
