Fhemmmy: Let us know when you are ready, but please note that they are not brand new oh, they are Factory-refurb
Hmmm, ok you haven't mentioned anything about the specs. I'm looking for 64GB champagne color + 360 rotating leather case. Also, I don't have your contact.

Thanks.

albacete: It couldn't complete, the Startup Repair.
Maybe i will just buy a new copy of Windows 7 OS
Have you tried the aforementioned methods or are you tired of trying? At this stage the disk check should be complete and you should be using the System Restore, choose the startup repair option when booting, and if it shows automatic fix of startup cancel and use other options, then select system restore and choose a date that your PC was working properly.

albacete: where do i get that? D Directory Services Restore Mode and Last Known Good Configuration.

D only option i see is Start Windows Normally and something like Startup Repair Recommended (which i have tried using to boot it but it has taken up to 2 hours yet it is still checking for problems). Should i cancel d Startup Repair?

Sorry i couldn't get a clearer picture
Sorry, I assume you should know since you could start with Safe Mode. You get it by pressing F8. Did you finish the startup repair? It should also do the disk check like the Directory Services Restore Mode. So if you finish and it's not working properly still, then try the Last Known Good Configuration or altneratively perform a system restore via the Startup Repair.

albacete: it is a Zinox machine running on Windows 7 OS and i am using a nokia E5.
I have tried to start it on safe mode but it does not load all d Windows files, it hangs @ a point.
How do i do this?
Ok, you need to try Directory Services Restore Mode and Last Known Good Configuration. The first one will check your disk for errors if it is marked 'dirty'. The second one should use the registry setting that worked last. Try this and get back to us.
Computers › Re: Laptop Not Booting by skydancer: 1:57am On Apr 15, 2013
Monday is today, so I guess you might not have re-installed? Did you try posting on the thread suggested by Chuks for alternative solutions? You should be able to repair your bootmgr by using any Windows 7 startup repair disk. You can get this function via system recovery or Windows Installation Disc, just try scanning for startup problems and see if you can get it solved.

albacete: broda mi, could u pls look into this problem as well and give me feedback? Tnx
The important information here is that you were browsing when you plugged your phone and it possibly tried to install a driver which crashed your PC. Because your hard disk operations was interrupted by the BlueScreen you need to check for errors to ensure all indexes are still correct and correct them if 'broken'.

Have you checked for the errors? Does it continue to repeat this error? If yes, at what point?

One apparent solution I can already see is starting in safe mode. However system restore should be able to fix the problem as well.

PS: Also post the OS you are using and the phone.

ukachimo: How do l get a pc running with American MegaTrends BIOS system(NTFS format) to recorgnise a harddisk formatted on another pc running on COMPAQ BIOS system (FAT Format? Anytime l try to swap the harddrive, l get NTDRTL Missing
Yes because you formatted it. Isn't that obvious? You need to install a new OS on it, you can do this via a Flash drive or a conventional CD/DVD, For flash, download YUMI and a XP/Linux/Win7/8 installation and install on your Flash drive. Then you can boot from your flash and install on the disk.

I used Java. I solved the first one(both small and large input) and the third one (only small input; time expired for large because my algorithm was poor).

The lawnmower was indeed very interesting. But I'll admit that I didn't understand it.[/quote]Nice, almost same as me. Believe me, I refined my algorithm up to 8 times, I don't get how to solve the other types, first I had to use Decimal to allow up to 22 digits, in the 2nd large input scenario, I was confident since I was using GMP's ultra fast BigInteger class yet I still didn't beat the 8 mins limit. I had to blame my PC in the end cheesy

The one I found most interesting was the 4th problem, but I still can't figure out why my solution is wrong... I just committed my solutions to a new branch here... https://github.com/xwiz/csharp/tree/CodeJam2013/

I was able to qualify for next round. I barely qualified though---I started extremely late.[/quote]What language did you use? Did you solve the lawnmower case? Couldn't even grasp the meaning. I loved the last one (Treasure stuff) but still can't solve the small input, though when I manually check, my answers are correct

Programming › Re: Google Code Jam Contest 2013 by skydancer: 12:10am On Apr 13, 2013
I'm on this now. First problem here... will post c# answer shortly...

Tic-Tac-Toe-Tomek is a game played on a 4 x 4 square board. The board starts empty, except that a single 'T' symbol may appear in one of the 16 squares. There are two players: X and O. They take turns to make moves, with X starting. In each move a player puts her symbol in one of the empty squares. Player X's symbol is 'X', and player O's symbol is 'O'.

After a player's move, if there is a row, column or a diagonal containing 4 of that player's symbols, or containing 3 of her symbols and the 'T' symbol, she wins and the game ends. Otherwise the game continues with the other player's move. If all of the fields are filled with symbols and nobody won, the game ends in a draw. See the sample input for examples of various winning positions.

Given an 4 x 4 board description containing 'X', 'O', 'T' and '.' characters (where '.' represents an empty square), describing the current state of a game, determine the status of the Tic-Tac-Toe-Tomek game going on. The statuses to choose from are:

"X won" (the game is over, and X won)
"O won" (the game is over, and O won)
"Draw" (the game is over, and it ended in a draw)
"Game has not completed" (the game is not over yet)
Input

The first line of the input gives the number of test cases, T. T test cases follow. Each test case consists of 4 lines with 4 characters each, with each character being 'X', 'O', '.' or 'T' (quotes for clarity only). Each test case is followed by an empty line.

Output

For each test case, output one line containing "Case #x: y", where x is the case number (starting from 1) and y is one of the statuses given above. Make sure to get the statuses exactly right. When you run your code on the sample input, it should create the sample output exactly, including the "Case #1: ", the capital letter "O" rather than the number "0", and so on.

Limits

The game board provided will represent a valid state that was reached through play of the game Tic-Tac-Toe-Tomek as described above.
Webmasters › Re: How Can We Make Nairaland More Beautiful? by skydancer:
Seun I hope at this point you now have a better understanding of the various things people use Nairaland for and what they expect from it. You asked for beauty, but beauty as said, lies on the eyes of the beholder. Nairaland is beautiful as it is but it can be made much more beautiful to suit the tastes of a wider circle of users.

The mobile version of the website is okay, but I believe it's high time to upgrade, the home page for a logged in user should show the topics they're subscribed to first, followed by recent topics from boards they have marked as their interest, and few of the current hottest topics with a link to view more.

I also think user profiles needs to have a wall, where people can say thanks or leave a message to the user. This will increase my reputation if I am a genuine and good person for other members to know.

The search box should be a custom Google Search box registered with Google CSE, not a normal textbox with "site:nairaland.com".

Finally, the desktop version needs a big retouching. It needs to provide a better UI display of the most prominent features of the website. The notifications should be shown in a modern manner, I think you should adopt Facebook's sidebar method of showing ads. Most accessed features on the left sidebar (nobody wants to go to the homepage every time they want to check a different topic). I also think I can help out during this xmas period in a revamp if you consider one. All the best guys smiley

To answer your question in a generic manner, I will charge 100k - 400k and I will deliver in 3 - 5 months.

However you should know that you don't just come and ask people how much will you take to build a house for a car dealer who wants a bungalow with 5 rooms. So many things affect the price of that house. That's how software development is.
