FSM

So ive been dating a girl for 8 months and just decided i wanted to end things. Problematic is that next Wednesday is her birthday, next Thursday were going camping with friends and two weeks later its my birthday. I cant break up with her before the trip because theres only four of us going so it would be awkward. The friends were going with are both our friends so its not like one of us would back out. So now i have to buy her a birthday present too (not that big a deal)

Now the problem is that she already got me a birthday present. So my main question is when do you think i should end things. I want to spare her feelings. I dont think i should accept her gift and then break up with her that would seem cold. What do yo guys think?

PS she really likes me so the feeling to break up will most likely not be mutual.

Lets say i have a laptop whos hard drive crashes and i have a system repair disk and a system image backup. So would all i need to do is pop in the new hard drive pop in the system repair disk and plug in my external hard drive (thats where the system image is) and it would work? The only reason i ask is because I dont understand what is stopping me from installing windows 7 this way on another laptop. Im assuming this wouldnt work becasue then you can get free versions of windows but Why wouldnt this work?

Also secondary question is there a way to reinstall windows on a laptop if you got a new hard drive but you dont have a system repair disk or a backup? Like what if you still have the product key? Also if you can how would you do this?

Nothing like this has happened to me but i just ask for knowledge purposes (Im just curious)

Im getting a new laptop and ive been struggling with the decision between the

Dell XPS 13 with windows 8 preinstalled:

Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu preinstalled:

http://www.dell.com/ca/p/xps-13-linux/pd?oc=nxps13...

OR MS Surface pro 3:

http://www.microsoftstore.com/store/msusa/en_US/pd...

Now i think i decided on the Dell xps 13 but i wanted to know whether Linux Mint will run successfully on either version? Will it run smoother on the laptop with Ubunut preinstalled or is that irrelevant? Im not a huge fan of Ubuntu and like Mint a lot better so i would want to get mint on there. another factor is that if Windows 10 is a solid operating system i might just stick with that which is why im leaning toward the one with windows 8 preinstalled. Also as a computer science student i program a lot which is why i steered away from the tiny and unreliable keyboard of the SP3 and i was wondering if i should spring the extra 250$ for the touch screen? If you have one do you use it a lot or not? Any input about any of this would be much appreciated thanks.

I have an acer aspire 5742Z that is about 3-4 years old and i was thinking of buying an ssd to replace my hdd. I was wondering if i could take windows 7 home premium off of my hdd and put it on my ssd or would i need to buy a new version of windows? Windows 7 home premium came preinstalled on my laptop out of the box.

In the bottom right hand corner of windows 7 there is a flag that shows me messages from my PC. Currently it has a message saying "back up your files" but i just backed them up with a program that came with my external hard drive (WD passport). Since i backed it up with the WD software windows isn't recognizing it that i backed them up. I want to get rid of this message so it no longer shows it is there a way to do it?

I need to find the power series of x/(x^3+1) so what i did was:

(x+1)^-1 = ∑(n = 0 to infty) (-1)^n*x^n = 1-x + x^2 - x^3 + ... + (-1)^n x^n + ...

Then i replace x with x^3:

(x^3+1)^-1 = 1 - x^3 + x^6 - x^9 + ... + (-1)^n x^3n + ...

And then i multipy by x:

x(x^3+1)^-1 = x - x^4 + x^7 - x^10 + ... +(-1)^n x^(3n+1) +... = ∑(n = 0 to infty) (-1)^n x^(3n+1)

I just want to know if this power series is correct or not and if its not what is the correct answer and why? Thanks.

Okay so my laptop is very old and slow right now and is running windows 7 64 bit. I want to buy a new laptop but do not want windows 8 because its a brutal OS and dont want to deal with it. My original plan was to wait for windows 10 to come out and then get a new laptop but i dont know if i can wait that long anymore. So my new plan was to get a new laptop and uninstall windows 8 and install a version of linux (probably ubuntu since im familiar with it) but i was wondering if there was a way i could hold the windows 8 product key so i could still upgrade to windows 10 when it comes out for free. Any ideas?

Someone told me to download linux on my current laptop because it could speed it up but i dont think that will work as well as i want it to because its not just a software problem (aka the laptop is just outdated and old).

a leaky 15lb bucket is lifted from the ground to a height of 40ft at a speed with a rope that weighs 1lb/ft. The bucket initially contains 50lb of water but the water leaks at a constant rate and finishes draining just as the bucket reaches 25ft level. How much work is done to lift the bucket from ground to 40ft.

So what i did:

m = bucket + water + rope

m = 10 + (50 - 2x) + (40 - x)

m = 100 - 3x

so F(x) = (100 - 3x)(32)

However when we get past the 25ft point our water weighs a negative amount so we need to split it into two integrals.

w = ∫(0 to 25) (100 - 3x)(32)dx + ∫(25 to 40) (50-x)(32) dx

When i solved i got 58400 ft-poundal i just wanted to know if i got this right or how i can modify it to get it right

Im in first year computer science in University and for my current assignment i need to write a program with an algorithm and a hand trace and a flow chart. I kind of get the usefulness of the algorithm and hand trace but to me it seems like the flowchart is a monumental waste of time especially since the program took me about an hour to write and was super simple. I was just wondering if real programmers actually used flow charts for help.

As a Pink Floyd i think The wall, animals, the division bell and wish you were here are better albums so why is dark side of the moon ridiculously famous

Im just starting to learn C and i was wondering if there was any websites where they give you a practice problem and then under it is the answer because i want to practice alot but im not sure what kind of program to do. Ive looked and ive found multiple choice questions or fill in the blanks in the program but i want one where it says:

Write a C program that effectively: STUFF so is there any websites that have that

i wrote a program tha is shown below:

#include<stdio.h>

int main(void)

{

char name[100];

printf("Type your name: ");

scanf("%s", name);

printf("Hello %s how are you doing",name);

return 0;

}

But when i run it my firewall blocks it and says DeepGuard has blocked a harmful application in your computer. I wrote the code a different way and the firewall had no problem with it so why cant i run this one successfully.

I wrote a c program that outputs a table and i cant figure out how to align the columns the table can be found her http://cezeife.myweb.cs.uwindsor.ca/courses/60-140... in the assignment it shows them aligned but im not sure how to do this

I just got microsoft visual 2013 and wrote a program in C and when i clicked f7 to compile and create the program it put the program in a folder that was through like 10 folders so is there a way i can change where visual puts my program

Okay so i wrote a c program and i tested it with ssh secure file transfer and ssh secure transfer client and it worked but in orer to use those things you need to connect to a server which i did (i connected to my university server) but to do this you need wifi so i was wondering if there was any way to test a program without wifi. (I am fine if i need to download something to do this just please let me know what i need to download and if you have a good link please provide one)

thanks

#include <stdio.h>

#include <math.h>

int main (void)

{

float num1,num2,num3,num4,num5,lbs_kg,F_C,m_km,yd_m,in_cm;

{

scanf("%f %f %f %f %f", &num1, &num2, &num3, &num4, &num5);

lbs_kg = num1/2.205;

F_C = (num2-32)*5/9;

m_km = num3/.6213;

yd_m = num4/1.0936;

in_cm = num5/0.3937;

}

scanf("lbs_kg, F_C, m_km, yd_m, in_cm");

printf("lbs_kg, F_C, m_km, yd_m, in_cm");

return 0;

}

I had to make a code that converts the values above and when i run it and type in the values it prints the words (lbs_kg,F_C, m_km, yd_m,in_cm) but i need it to print the values after the valus went through the code and im not sure what i did wrong. I do not get any errors so its just something wrong with the printf i think

I need to write a recursive program in miranda that takes a list and a number as input and returns true if the number is in the list and false otherwise . So please help because im pretty stuck on this one

So i wrote a code in C in the text editor vim and then i downloaded a compiler (https://www.dreamspark.com/Product/Product.aspx?pr... and i tried to run my program in the command prompt and i changed the directory and it got o my file but when i told the prompt to run my program it said it didnt know what program to open it with. My program is saved as vanier1_asn1.c (thats what my prof told me to save it as) so please try and tell me what the problem is or if i didnt include enough information i can update with more info if needed.

I have to make a code that will take 2 lists and output the numbers that are common to both lists so my code was

p9 x y = (x ++ y) -- (x -- y)

p9 = p9 -- [y]

So what is wrong with it because i keep getiing an error that says its an unreachable case in defn of p9. found near line 2
