Hi everyone- Today I saw a solid green frog and when I picked it up it had bright yellow behind the legs. The coloring is not visible unless the legs are spread. I tried searching Google but it keeps coming back with the leopard frog which it can't be since it didn't have spots. It was a solid light green color. It was sort of a fat frog too, it wasn't a long skinny frog. Can anyone help me figure out what type of frog it is? I wish I took a picture.

When responding please let me know if you're an IT professional or some kind of staffing professional.

Which would be better to achieve to spruce up a resume- CompTIA Network+ or MCTS/MCITP? I know the two certifications are completely different and I'm not huge on Networking but I know this is the last year to get lifetime certifications through them.

I currently have A+ and Security+ through Comptia.

Thank you

I have a field named 'IsPCWorking' and it is a check box. I'm trying to do a query that will post all of the records where IsPCWorking=1 (checked or yes).

I tried adding [Data]![IsPCWorking]=and it's not working. The table name is 'Data'.

Can someone help me out? And I placed this in the Criteria field of my query, is that right?

Thank you!

Hi everyone- I've been an MS user all my life and I want to try Ubuntu. I'm not moving to the new OS or moving away from MS, I just want to learn and play with it.

I installed it on my Windows 7 VM in VMware.

I am in a dos-like window that says perlgoodies@ubunto:"$ . I'm assuming I have to type some command to start the desktop or something but I looked at the documentation and can't figure out how to sign in. I put my user/pass in and it worked. I just don't know what to do NEXT.

Anyone know where you get the Windows 7 upgrade that you were promised if you bought a qualifying computer in the past few months? Mine qualified but I don't know where to get it.

The question reads "You currently are using a DHCP server on your network. It assigns a default gateway scope option to clients. You use a router with a different IP address to replace a router on your network. The new router allows clients to connect to the Internet; however, clients cannot connect to the Internet using the new router. What should you do?"

The only thing I can think of is making sure the IP address of the new router is within the IPRANGE of the scope. And if it isn't, either assign a different IP address or increase the IPRANGE on the scope.

Can anyone let me know their thoughts?

I have exhausted my resources and can't find anything that suits what I want in my next laptop. Can you help me find it? First person to show one that matches my few critera will get an easy 10 pts!

Price: Upto/around 600 (no more than 650)

Processor: AMD only. Dual core at least 2.0Ghz

Memory: At least 3gb upgradable to 4gb (6gb is a plus)

Screen: At least 15.4" but not as huge as 17"

Lastly: It needs to have a free Windows 7 upgrade option

Essentially that's it- everything else is standard (wifi, dvd burner/read, etc). Not looking for a gaming laptop. Just 3GB memory with an AMD processor. AMD processors are hard to find in this price range.

I tried doing a little searching but couldn't find anything. When looking at computer memory in and old computer and it is a PC3200 DDR. Do I have to match it up with another PC3200? Or is it possible to switch it up with another DDR?

And I doubt it can be known without knowing the computer (it was a custom made Dell a good number of years ago and I know nothing about it), is there any reason to suspect it cannot hold 1GB of memory?

If you have any links that describe the important/differences in the PC#### number I'd appreciate it.

Can someone look at my numbers and see if I wrote down the right answer? I need to determine which are odd and even parities and our book is really crumby. The digit at the end is the parity number.

Thanks!

Just a simple question I should probably know but I undoubtedly forgot.

A user's sound card is not being detected (it's onboard) so they can hear no sound. They can, however, hear the internal BEEP when they boot up or misclick or things of that nature. Does the beep come off the sound card itself or the system board?

I remember hearing the beep was on the system board but I want to make sure before I go further.

int *ptNum = &miles;

It this...

always valid

never valid

only valid if miles is declared as an integer variable before ptNum is declared

only valid if miles is declared as an array of integers before ptNum is declared

?

If I had to guess, the third choice is probably correct. Can someone confirm?

Hi guys- Quick question on C programming.

My task is to request a number of days from the year 1900 and determine the year, month and day. We assume every year is 365 days and every month is 30 days.

So far I have

int remainder = inputdays;

year = inputdays / 365;

remainder = inputdays % 365;

month = remainder / 30;

remainder = inputdays % 30;

day = remainder;

Which doesn't quite compute correctly. If I input 5000 days it prints out "5000 days which is 13 years and 8 months and 20 days". Reversing the math it comes out to 5005 total days and not the 5000 I put in.

Below is the entire code so far. I don't want help to solve the entire task, I just want to know how I can fix my math so it calculates the correct months, years and days.

#include <stdio.h>

int GetInfo(int inputdays);

int inputdays = 0, year = 0, month = 0, day = 0;

int main()

{

printf("Enter the number of days from 1/1/1900: ");

scanf("%d", &inputdays);

GetInfo(inputdays);

return(0);

}

int GetInfo(int inputdays)

{

int remainder = inputdays;

year = inputdays / 365;

remainder = inputdays % 365;

month = remainder / 30;

remainder = inputdays % 30;

day = remainder;

printf("You said %d days which is %d year and %d month with %d day",

inputdays, year, month, day);

}

f(x) = 4 - 2x^2

It is asking us to find the equation of the inverse and to write the inverse using the notation given IF the inverse is a function.

However, after going through the problem three times I have found the INVERSE not to be a function. I also had a coworker from work who's been through this and he, too, says there's no inverse to this function. But the book shows a crazy answer.

Why do I say it's NOT a function? I swapped x for three values (-1, 0 and 1) and got the ordered pairs (-1, 2), (0, 4), (1, 2). Which shows the original IS a function but reversing the coordinates to (2,-1), (4,0) and (2,1) shows the inverse can't be a function because you have two x coordinates that are the same but have different y coordinates.

Can someone confirm I'm right or help me figure out what I'm not getting?

This is a fun C programming assignment and I'm thinking of a dozen different ways to go about it. The task is to ask the user for the sum of the coins they have. Ie: 80. Then we have to calculate the EASIEST way to get that using the least possible coins possible. We have quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies. Nothing higher than that.

So if we got an input of 80, we want it to say we have 3 quarters and 1 nickel. If it was 81 we'd get 3 quarters, 1 nickel and 1 penny.

My psuedo code looks like..

if(coins >= 25)

{

}

else if(coins >= 10)

{

}

else if(coins >= 5)

{

}

else if(coins >= 1)

{

}

And after breaking down what the highest coin is, start doing all the needed calculations. But my method seems like it would take quite a bit of effort to get to work. Would you use all these conditionals or would you make one loop and take out the biggest coins you can until you have a 0 remainder?

Anyone have some fun psuedo code they'd like to share?

Hi everyone. I have a math problem I need help with. I scanned it and posted it here (http://spyderscripts.com/mathproblem.jpg) to make it easier but I'll explain it below as well for those that aren't comfortable following links.

The problem reads "Find all solutions" and this is a chapter review of learning about quadratics.

In english the math problem is: the square root of x + 5 (one radical is over everything) = the square root of x + 1 (radical is only over the X).

I'm so lost so if someone could walk me through the easiest way of solving these problems I'd really appreciate it. The book shows the answer is 4.

The question reads "Give the x-intercept and the coordiante of the vertex".

The question is y=x^2-1.

There are a few similar to this but the book doesn't show what to do if it's in this form. They showed us using the form y=x^2 + 2x -3 in three pieces, not two.

Can someone walk me through this?

I'm trying to find the number of solutions and the answer for the discriminant x^2-9=0. I don't even know how to start this one to get my third set of values. Can someone help explain what I do?

Hi, can someone help me figure this question out?

4x^2-4x=1

I'm supposed to find the number of solutions and the types they are. I have a cheatsheet telling me the types of solutions if I can get the answer but I can't figure out how the book says D = 0 = one rational solution.

I get lost because there's no C.. so I though I was supposed to cut 4x in half and then square it (4/2 = 2^2 = 4). But ultimately that gave the solution 16-64, or -48 which is nowhere near 0.

Can someone explain where I went wrong?

I'm taking a C programming class online and after almost 150 pages through the book I'm left with one question - what's the datatype to allow words/numbers/any character? The book only demonstrated integers, floats, doubles, char, etc. But nothing where I can prompt a user for a name or an address and store it into a variable.

I know it's possible but so far the book hasn't gone into it and after reading datatypes on a number of C programming tutorials online, the only thing people mention is char for single characters. I want to store things like the following in Perl: my $car = "2005 Toyota Matrix";

Hello fellow programmers/scripters.

I'm taking a class on C programming (required before taking Java) and I had a question. I've been scripting fluently with Perl for over a decade now and it was the first language I learned. The variables are all labled with a $, %, or @. In C (like some other languages), variables are reserved names without using character identifiers.

The question is: Is there any logical reason I should not lable all my variables in C with a _? Ie: _checkSum, _submit, _carColor?

The syntax printf("My car color is %c", carColor); looks weird to me to see a naked variable hanging out there like that. Would a professor really care if I stayed consistent with this naming scheme?
