If I press the power button on the computer and it doesnt turn on correctly. The first time I turned it on, I saw the initial POST screen. Then nothing. Now, I turn it on and the fans spin, the hard drive spins, and all seems well, but there is no display. Im thinking it might be the mobo, but I would like it not to be :).. I switched out the RAM and same result. I dont have a CPU to switch out either.

I have tested the monitor and it works fine.

My friend made an independent CD album. Now I'm trying to upload it into a sub subdomain on my hobby website so other friends could listen to his music. I tried to upload it but the web page was blank. The music file is in window media player format. Could I use Flash MX2004 to listen to the disc on the web? How would I get audio on Flash? I did it once a few years ago, but since I only did it once, I quickly forgot how.

an example would be
const double PI=3.14;
for(float x=PI;whatever;x++){
cout< }

that was just an example of using constants;

but you could do the same without using constants;
double PI=3.14;
for(int x=PI;whatever;x++){
//This would also work
}


so what use do we have of using constants for somethings instread of variables

What does this mean in PERL?
s/[\r\n]+//g;
my @fields = split /\|/;

I have a basic understanding that when this program reads in this file, it is creating an array and parsing each line based on a | symbol. But I don't know what the characters mean (/ \ \r \n... etc) Can someone please help?

Thanks!

I've installed the latest Firefox out this week (2.0.0.11). Since then I've noticed that some pages don't display like they used to. For instance the menu bar at the left of YAHOO's main page is often blank. If I hit the RELOAD or move the cursor over the area, it will appear. Also, like in some chat rooms, my system will suddenly freeze.

My computer is using Windows 98se for an OS, I have a n 800 MHZ Pentium III processor and 256 MB RAM. My AV and firewall are provided by my ISP and are part of EZ TRUST.

In my attic I have an older Win 95 based Gateway that won't boot. I want to resuscitate it so I can use it to each myself Linux as I'm such a clutz I'm sure to screw up the PC I'm using now if I tried something like that.

So what I need to know is why it won't boot. What it does when I hit the power button is go through the motions of booting up to a certain point, then nothing. The operating system won't load, and I notice that the hard drive pitch doesn't seem quite high enough.

My guess is that the power supply is malfunctioning to some degree and is no longer sufficient to juice the hard drive 100%, but I'm a bit of a novice so appreciate if someone would set me straight if I'm heading in the wrong direction.
