We were discussing doing our draft before spring training so the free agent market is open. I guess I just ignore Yahoo for a month (hopefully it’s open by then)

Do they just hate democracy, or is it that they are extremely uneducated as to exactly what it is they are throwing their support behind?

They obviously want an autocratic government so they can forcefully install "their" leader. Why do they hate democracy so much?

The "My Comments" link is missing and I can't see where to view my profile.

Seriously, that coupled with the terrible headlines is just one huge insult to me. Anyone else feel like they have only gotten worse in the past 3 years?

I have the 5.9 L 1500, and my battery had been drained completely a week ago when I left my lights on. Since then, when I go to start my truck, it turns over like the battery is low, but has always started. Recently, however, it dies right after I start it. I have held the gas and brake down, and driven it around the block, and then when I get back to my place it will be idling just fine. Also, after driving it around for a bit, I can shut it off and fire it right back up with no problems (it turns over like the battery is fully charged, and idles just fine.) What the heck could be wrong with it? I cleaned the battery leads and wires, but I don't know what is going on. There was a lot of corrosion on the positive terminal, but it's all clean now. could a bad battery cause this? I had no issues before it was drained completely by my lights on overnight. That is my initial thought, because it will fire up just fine right after I drive, but it will struggle a bit after an overnight parking.

I am programming a tic tac toe game for console using windows and visual 12, and would like the user input to break after the user hits any key once (whether it's a number, a letter, enter, space, etc).

here is my code:

void TicTacToe::moveX ()

{

char row [2];

char column [2];

int r, c;

HANDLE screen = GetStdHandle(STD_OUTPUT_HANDLE);

COORD pos = {26, 1};

SetConsoleCursorPosition (screen, pos);

cout << "Player 1, pick a square.";

pos.X += 4; pos.Y +=11;

SetConsoleCursorPosition (screen, pos);

cout << "Row: ";

cin.getline (row, 2); //prevents user from hitting enter multiple times

r = (row[0] - 48); //convert char to int

pos.Y +=2;

SetConsoleCursorPosition (screen, pos);

cout << "Column: ";

cin.getline (column, 2); //prevents user from hitting enter multiple times

c = (column[0] - 48); //convert char to int

}

*NOTE* THIS IS NOT MY COMPLETE CODE!

Enter can't be hit multiple times with this, but the problem I run into is if the user just holds down a button, those numbers stay on the screen and mess everything up. How can I set it up so the user can not do that? Is there a way to only allow 1 single button entry? if not, is there a way to reset the entire screen to how it looked before each entry (board, prompt for row, prompt for column, etc.)?

I am new to programming, so please explain if your answer is somewhat complicated. Thank you in advance.

I am trying to set up a program that will show the amount of a loan with cents, and also show the monthly interest rate. By default, the floating point value is displayed with six significant digits, so I used << fixed << setprecision(2) to show the cents of the loan amount. The problem i am running into is in resetting it so that the extra zeros are dropped off of the end of the monthly interest rate. the six significant figures are fine there (I don't mind if it rounds the rate at the sixth decimal place), but if I use setprecision(6) before the monthly_rate, it will always show 6 sig figs (including extra zeros.) I have to place the rate after the loan amount, and since the rate will change according to the APR entered, I'd like it to treat the monthly_rate as if the <<fixed<<setprecision(2) was never entered above it. (ie, lets take the APR's of 1.2 and 5.25, respectively. when those are entered individually, i'd like the program to spit out .1 and .4375, not .100000 and .437500.) Basically, I want the dang thing to reset i guess (for lack of a better description) before displaying the monthly_rate, because by default it will display that float value to 6 significant digits AND drop the 0's at the end. Please help!

#include <iostream>

#include <iomanip>

using namespace std;

int main()

{

double loan_amount, monthly_rate, APR;

loan_amount = 150000.25;

cout << "What is the APR?" << endl;

cin >> APR;

monthly_rate = APR/12;

cout << fixed << setprecision(2) << "The amount is $" << loan_amount << endl;

cout << "The monthly interest rate is " << monthly_rate << "%\n";

system("pause");

return 0;

}

The following didn't work, because it will always display 6 digits including zeros:

cout << setprecision(6) << "The monthly interest rate is " << monthly_rate << "%\n";

and, since the rate will change according to the APR, I can't use a setprecision() for a set number. (ie, APR = 5.25 will give monthly_rate of .4375. if I use setprecision(4), then this number will look correct, but an APR of 1.2 will give monthly_rate displayed as .1000. I want that to display as .1, and .4375 to display as .4375.)

i have installed the patch from firaxis and it still crashes all the time around the year 2000. I don't have any of the other civ games so i can't use the auto update feature fromn civ 2. thanks

I'm hungry and want some tomato soup, but only have cans of tomato sauce. Not sure if I can just add water or milk or something.

I am a recent graduate with opportunities to start a career in either field, and I am having trouble deciding. What are the benefits of or drawbacks of these two careers? Who works more or makes more after 15 or 20 years? Thanks
