this is becoming interesting as putin is shoring up his image in eastern europe after the turkey fiasco.

#turkey leaning away from US and Nato

#yemeni rebels pushing up to saudi borders

#putin visiting some eastern europe countries and brokering peace deals.

#isreal pushing for more military aid as iran (grow more balls) explodes economically and militarily.

with less options, US and Nato may push for war as CIA chief hints of breaking syria. interesting right??

what a great thread.

no thanks for spilling the beans and making our lifestyle harder to maintain

LalasticlaIa:
They always go for the easier prophesies.

ohhhhh lala, long time no see

i miss ur threads and the way u name echoes around

stack1:
hmm, ok

well in this case, the next post's would go over C's operators, control structures and loops, i had already discussed integer and char data type, that should do for now till we go into advanced stuff like structures and arrays/pointers

that is cool

too much hot air

wonders shall never end in Nigeria

stack1:
ok, before i go into the details of the line counting program, can anyone provide us summary of how it works?

u are back, that is great

like bestiyke said, u are skipping the basics and posting obfuscated codes before explanation. that ain't cool

don't let what dthml18 said come true . i believe treating operators, primitive data types and loops with common library functions will make ur programs to be self-explanatory.


Don't post obfuscated codes, it scares beginners and makes it harder for anybody including urself to read the codes at a later time even with verbose comment.

let ur code flow line by line in simpler statements and expression with good indentation such that ur code is readable even without comments.

Anytime u find the error u got above, it is either the server is not running or the user account u are using does not have the require permission to access that server.

Remember: while troubleshooting the server, shutdown visual studio.

I have done number 3. (local system, local service, network service) I have changed it to all 3 still getting the same error.

Do this as an admin: then restart the system for it to take effect. u may need to run services.msc as admin

No 2: login as admin and try restarting the service. honestly I don't know how to do that.

concerning the No. 2, i meant, if u are not using an admin account on ur system, then logout and login with an admin account to be able effect the necessary changes.

No 1: I run SQL server configuration manager as admin, still the same error

Run the SQL server as admin[b]not[/b] the configuration manager.

if u cannot still access the server, run the SQL server, configuration manager and visual studio as administrator.

donjayzi:
O yeah, tell him to provide the link from the ebook he is pasting from.

Even if he is pasting from an online tutorial , bringing such great a knowledge to us here is commendable.

he is able to introduce C to most people, refresh our memories and most importantly spread the gospel of C.

Moreover he specified the materials and resources needed for the tutorial.

i believe he is on track

godofbrowser:
True... another example is the addEventListener and attachEvent methods. Jquery simplifies them all.

i guess u don't understand why Javascript libraries and frameworks like jQuery, Prototype, Angularjs and Backbone.js are more popular than Javascript itself.

Client - side Javascript programming is hell without libraries and frameworks for both trivial and non-trivial case.

Believe me, u don't want to go there

dhtml18:
That was out-rightly rude, but it is alright, i hereby step out of this thread permanently.

i don't see anything rude in what he said, pls chill

op i am following as C was and is still my first love though a bit rusted

try to restart the server with admin account and ensure the server is running before connecting to it from visual studio.

Try the following:

1. try and run the service as an admin,
2. log in as admin and try restarting the service.
3. change the service status to local system OR Network service

yeah i can relate to ur post but ma explanation is kinda be very long so i will have to save the epistle.

btw 0 - 10, i kind of find myself at infant stage. every description there fits ma infancy.

btw 10 - 20, i suck as the baby soul trying to live for everybody but maself.

at 20, self realization sets in and i got a purpose to live for though the target is so high im afraid i may not get in this lifetime. indepedence, strong-willed, ambition and what have u characterised this stage even as it is drawing to a close.

don't know what ma 30's got in stock as i am getting closer. but there are things around me i can't explain, it seems i am (going to) passing through all the stages in one lifetime.

i keep seeing maself in strange places that look familiar and familiar places that look strange.

##hell i am out of here. can't keep blurting this shhit no more

i can feel it............oh yeah

WAR is brewing

Turco:
I don't think they have any official corresponder from Istanbul or Ankara at the moment. Do they have? They're probably are broadcasting informations from Turkish channels. I am not trying to be a smart, I am just guessing.

Ur guess is right, they are linking with TRT and one other, i think NTV

Turco:
Yeah place was shelter of Atatürk International Airport in Istanbul. That's why it looks rowdy. Are you currently in Turkey?

No following live feed from Aljazeera. they are covering Istanbul and Ankara simultaneously.

Turco:
Guys, don't believe everything you've heard so far. I've just watched Erdogan on air(1 minutes before my quote). He is OK and was talking about what is going on here and everything is OK here.

He just finish addressing the nation, the place looks rowdy.

this is a serious power game between the turkish government, the US and the Russians. Kerry visits moscow to meet putin and lavrov, while erdogan is in air attempted coup fails with more local support for erdogan. he gives a speech promising to clean the army.

this looks more like a coordinated scheme to give erdogan more popularity and support from the people and within government circle. Erdogan is consolidating power, strengthening his position and gaining more international support.

#interesting and amusing at the same time

Nobody touches the tigers tail and walks around feeling high on oshogbo weed.

Explosions (like 3) just recorded in ataturk airport in istanbul after Erdogan landed. commotion is still ongoing

Erdogan the proverbial cat with nine lives.

Turco:
It was always calmed down.

Erdogan has landed in Istanbul after the tanks were cleared from the airport but two explosion just rocked Taksim Square where a lot of people gathered.things are still messy as a lot of people are on the street, some supporting the coup others against it.

#following live on Aljazeera, only station to have a live feed from turkey

things are calming down

this little discussion is interesting though with a lot of chest beating

it reminds us of dhtml18/donjayzi and seunthomas thread which saw asalimpo, guru01 and others flexing muscles.

Kudos to dhtml18 for dousing the tensions and acting as the referee.

Every programming language was developed to solve problems in a specific area of computing though most have been infused with excess baggage. it is not wise to compare general purpose programming language like python, ruby, java, c++ and C# to special purpose language like php, perl and shell.

i learnt that perl is the best in regular expression matching cause that is the area it was originally built for before DBI and other modules were added to give it a semblance of general purpose language.

Just like I said to missy some couple of days ago; the only way Amerika will be “brought to her senses” is how Nazi Germany or Imperial Japan were brought to theirs: to suffer a massive defeat in which the entire state apparatus was terminated & even national borders fundamentally altered.

What would happen if an 800-kiloton nuclear warhead is detonated above midtown Manhattan?

Russian intercontinental ballistic missiles are believed to carry a total of approximately 1,000 strategic nuclear warheads that can hit Amerika in less than 30 minutes after being launched. Of this total, about 700 warheads are rated at 800 kilotons; that is, each has the explosive power of 800,000 tons of TNT.

What follows is a description of the consequences of the detonation of a single such warhead over midtown Manhattan, in the heart of New York City.


The initial fireball. The warhead would probably be detonated slightly more than a mile above the city, to maximize the damage created by its blast wave. Within a few tenths of millionths of a second after detonation, the center of the warhead would reach a temperature of roughly 200 million degrees Fahrenheit (about 100 million degrees Celsius), or about four to five times the temperature at the center of the sun. 

A ball of superheated air would form, initially expanding outward at millions of miles per hour. It would act like a fast-moving piston on the surrounding air, compressing it at the edge of the fireball and creating a shockwave of vast size and power.

After one second, the fireball would be roughly a mile in diameter. It would have cooled from its initial temperature of many millions of degrees to about 16,000 degrees Fahrenheit, roughly 4,000 degrees hotter than the surface of the sun. 

On a clear day with average weather conditions, the enormous heat and light from the fireball would almost instantly ignite fires over a total area of about 100 square miles.


Hurricane of fire. Within seconds after the detonation, fires set within a few miles of the fireball would burn violently. These fires would force gigantic masses of heated air to rise, drawing cooler air from surrounding areas toward the center of the fire zone from all directions.

As the massive winds drove flames into areas where fires had not yet fully developed, the fires set by the detonation would begin to merge within tens of minutes of the detonation, fires from near and far would join to form a single, gigantic fire. The energy released by this mass fire would be 15 to 50 times greater than the energy produced by the nuclear detonation.

The mass fire, or firestorm, would quickly increase in intensity, heating enormous volumes of air that would rise at speeds approaching 300 miles per hour. This chimney effect would pull cool air from outside the fire zone towards the center of the fire at speeds of hundreds of miles per hour. These superheated ground winds of more than hurricane force would further intensify the fire. At the edge of the fire zone, the winds would be powerful enough to uproot trees three feet in diameter and suck people from outside the fire into it.

The inrushing winds would drive the flames from burning buildings horizontally along the ground, filling city streets with flames and firebrands, breaking in doors and windows, and causing the fire to jump, sometimes hundreds of feet, swallowing anything not already violently combusting. These above-hurricane-force ground winds would have average air temperatures well above the boiling point of water. The targeted area would be transformed into a huge hurricane of fire, producing a lethal environment throughout the entire fire zone.


No survivors. Within tens of minutes, everything within approximately five to seven miles of Midtown Manhattan would be engulfed by a gigantic firestorm. The fire zone would cover a total area of 90 to 152 square miles (230 to 389 square kilometers).

Wait! You do not understand. This is more than the distance between Lagos and Ilorin in Kwara State.

The firestorm would rage for three to six hours. Air temperatures in the fire zone would likely average 400 to 500 degrees Fahrenheit (200 to 260 Celsius).

After the fire burned out, the street pavement would be so hot that even tracked vehicles could not pass over it for days. Buried, unburned material from collapsed buildings throughout the fire zone could burst into flames when exposed to air—months after the firestorm had ended.

Those who tried to escape through the streets would have been incinerated by the hurricane-force winds filled with firebrands and flames. Even those able to find shelter in the lower-level sub-basements of massive buildings would likely suffocate from fire-generated gases or be cooked alive as their shelters heated to oven-like conditions.

The fire would extinguish all life and destroy almost everything else. Tens of miles downwind of the area of immediate destruction, radioactive fallout would begin to arrive within a few hours of the detonation.

But that is another story.

my 7-star general doing what he knows best

i am tempted to say something

but i believe oga dhtml18 or donjayzi might have better things to say

Iykon1313:
I v built the site completely, I want to upload to the web.....that is what I don't know how to do.

ok u want to migrate the site to ur web host server.

there are several ways of doing that but it is not a trivial job. if u follow instructions carefully u can do it urself.

first method
u can use one click installer on your host cpanel to install a new wordpress (u can also install it manually by creating a database on the webhost server using phpMyadmin, create a new database user with the needed permissions to run wordpress then empty wordpress files into the folder u want to host the site which always default to public_html on most shared host and visit ur domain to setup a new wordpress on ur cpanel), install all the plugins and themes u use on your local server, replicate your configurations and settings on the cpanel (production) edition. but i must admit that this is a terrible path as u have to redo everything u did on ur localhost. u may have to recreate all the post and upload images OR use a migration plugin to export ur data from the localhost and import it to ur new installation.

second method

this is the preferred method for pros who use localhost as their development environment but it requires more expertise.

create a database and a database user on ur cpanel using phpMyadmin. then export the database ur wordpress is using on ur localhost to an .sql file. u can do this on mysql console using the mysql -dump command but it is always safer to use phpMyadmin as it eliminates chances of error and data corruption. login to ur cpanel phpMyadmin and import the sql file to the database u created earlier.

open the folder wordpress resides on ur localhost and copy everything to the www or public_html folder on ur hosting account. this can be done by using a ftp program like filezilla to upload the content of the wordpress folder to the server through ftp. then check the wp-config.php file to ensure the connection parameters are correct (the same with the database and the database user u set up earlier).


if u run into any problem, post it here or use google.

sori typing is not my ish in case u cannot follow what am putting here

mexzony:

I actually ditched the approach above as it was a time waster and went back to my earlier appraoch where I use binary representation of each subset.
Basically for N = 4 we will have 2^4 subsets which equals 16 subsets. Summarising with tables here is the trick
Say we have 4 elements and we call each 1 2 3 4
Then
1 2 3 4
0 0 0 0 0
1 0 0 0 1
2 0 0 1 0
3 0 0 1 1

This goes all the way from 0 to (2^4 - 1) and u see the binary representation of each number.
For every position there is a 1 called a bit there is a subset so for 1 we have the subset {4} for 2 we have {3}
For 3 we have {3,4}. This goes on like that.
I like to be a little bit adventurous that's why I was trying to come up with so many solutions from different angles a times I just stress my self but its all part of the fun .

this is more mathematical than logical. can u deduce the concept into a mathematical formula (possibly with pseudo-code) as the explanation is flying above my head. thanks

dhtml18:
^^^You know I am the one, and you are still asking. . . . .lol
Err, I dont have a standing agreement with voguepay, so i believe that you should talk to them.
And I also remember developing a drupal 7 plugin for them at that time - not sure of why they failed to publish it. But no, since they paid me for it, I cannot just release the source code to you directly since that will be a breach of contract.

well i wasn't too sure hence the asking

thanks man, i am going to contact them for the drupal 7 version

no need for the source code as my implementation may be different (if there is need to build the module)

dhtml18:
I tire o, @op, please use my wrapper - https://www.nairaland.com/2870586/dhtmlsql-very-advanced-wrapper-mysql

were you the one that wrote drupal module for voguepay payment platform?

i am trying to integrate voguepay into a site i am currently building with drupal 7 but discovered that the module available on their site is for drupal 6.

i would love to port the module to drupal 7 and possibly drupal 8 later as i don't want to go the manual integration route. this will make the module to be available for easy integration to me and others in future projects that need to use voguepay payment gateway.

are you still in charge of developing the module or do i need to contact voguepay for approval?
