Hello everyone! I have so much heard of attacks, hack and other related stuffs.. 1) But i guess if our IP address is invisible on the net, there is no risk of having such hacks..etc...do we? I remember last year, on an online game forum, the admin was (in a topic discussion) asking a user how he managed to hide his IP to the board. And in some other dicussion on the net, i also found some people were actually surfing on the net with their IP really really hidden. But i still haven't find out how is this possible? 2) Please can anyone discuss on this, and if possible share in how we can achieve such a technique? Thanks for your kind attention, wakish

Hi! Can anyone tell me: 1) Does mandriva 2006 provide a software to defragment your linux partiton and other common partition? 2) If no, how can i defragment my linux partiton, or is it not necessary to format a linux partition? Thanks for your help! Regards!

Hello there everyone! ( A special hi to ianw1974 and Arctic!!!!Long time not been here guys :D ) Yeah, i have a question, what does the following mean and are these for? urpme kat urpme lisa urpme portmap Thanks! ( By the way, sorry to hijack your thread AmEyeMad! ;) )

Hello there! ozzy34 i have been expereincing all these symptoms that you are getting when i first installed linux. I have tried every solution that i have read in so many forums and with the help of so many people here. BUT the fact is that, USB ADSL devices are just a headache with linux! It is a fact and out of 10 people, may be only 1will has the chance of having it correct (by chance!!). The more easy (but perhaps a bit expensive) solution is just to buy a router or ethernet modem! This is the BEST solution with linux. And believe me you will NOT regret that you bought a router/ethernet device. Linux is a world apart from windows and you will learn many good things.. And mandriva in particular really has a very user-friendly interface and is very nice to new-linux users :) ;) All the best! Regards, wakish

1) I have been using the function delay() found in the dos.h library in turbo C ... i need this similar function in gcc.. 2) and i also found gcc does not recognize "getche()" ?? Please can anyone help me with these 2. Thanks!

Hi everyone! i'm not being able to run java applets, for e.g, yahoo pools applets. In my mozilla, in preferences, javascripts and java are both enabled! But, when the applets launches, it says no plug-ins for java.. I have also downloaded java from its website, when i launch the rpm, it says java already installed! But i don't know what to do now. Please anyone help me, thanks! Best regards! Updated: I have install all the java packages that i found in MCC. And after i have restarted my pc, it seems to be working now! Crazy pc!! Well if anyone wants to give some advice and explanations on this, you are welcomed! Till then, it's SOLVED from me! ;) Regards!

Finally after a long time struggling, i came to solve the prob :P I did the following: 1) Just had to login as root and change the "rights" of the partition in the 'fstab' (at last i came to know what it is) 2) again i login as root and just had to "mount" the 2nd internal hard-drive and give rights accordingly. I thank all the people above for their precious guidance! Regards! ~~~ Solved! ~~~

Wow, we are a really nice community here! Nice to meet you all people! Yeah, nowadays, the technological world has taken a tremendous pace! I wonder what is not possible to make nowadays with the Internet! Btw, thanks for the nice link jboy! Hey C# seems a bit like C/C++ in its pointer implementation ..lol

Thanks, nice link!

1) please can you tell me how to change the fstab? 2) But in Windows, i can see the 2nd hard drive, so it is properly connected. The jumper is set to "cable select as always. I don't know why this time, mandriva is not showing it. BUT when i go in hardrake, i see the 2nd hard drive, so why is it not shown in Devices on Dektop?

sorry i made a mistake, so i correct it as follows: 1) My Common partition is FAT32 and not NTFS! 2) And about the 2nd hard drive it is internal! I remember when i first installed Mandriva, it detected the 2nd internal drive, but yesterday when i re-plug the 2nd hard drive for back-up, it does not detect it.. Can anyone help please?

uummm, let's say the KDE ? i have browsed google, but i have not got it.. perhaps i have wrongly searched but i just wanted to know this without much info.. just kind of curious to know ;)

I'm having 2probblems: 1) I have a common NTFS partition. from Windows both read/write is possible. But from Linux, i can only read but not write to it, that is, i cannot modify files in that partition nor can i save any files or folders to it. How should i set this? 2) I have connected another hard drive, but i cannot see it in "Devices" on Desktop. I want to see it so that i can read/write to it. PLease can anyone help me with these 2probs? Thanks for your time! Regards!

For example, the linux desktop interface is designed in which language?

yeah..hey morever C will not be changing at all (well will it?) like C++ is doing or any other language.. I think this is one feature that makes so many programmers stick to C..the langauge is here as it was.. But one thing which sometimes i don't like about C is that we don't have a nice manipulation of strings as we have with C++... i was expecting some comments on this :unsure:

ok..thanks.. does C# have pointers like those in C/C++ ?

Thanks for the info and link jboy! phunni could you please tell me a bit what's the difference between: 1) C/C++ and C# 2) Java and C# And what's the link between C# and web designing? I have worked with C/C++ and Java, but never tried C#, so i'm curious about it. Any more info are welcomed too ;) Regards!

sorry to hijack your topic, but just wanted to ask this: what is the difference between the Visual Studio 2005 and it's express version?? Thanks!

No tyme, it was not there.. I thank you both for your kind help! so nice of you. I have just tried another way out: I have downloaded a CHM converter for Windows. Then from Windows i converted the .chm file into "pdf" and "html" files. Now, i just transfer the converted files to linux :) and use it easily.. ;) This is less of a hassle ;) Regards, wakish

lol..ok :P

I'm having some probs here. 1) i have download the software referred by tyme. i get the following errors: checking for wx-config... no configure: error: wxWidgets must be installed on your system but the wx-config script couldn't be found. Please check that wx-config is in path, the directory where wxWidgets libraries are installed (returned by 'wx-config --libs' command) is in LD_LIBRARY_PATH or equivalent variable and wxWidgets version is 2.3.4 or above. 2) Now i have also dowloaded the software referred by scarecrow. It installs fine.. but when i type "kchmviewer", i get this error message: bash: kchmviewer: command not found when i type "rpm -ql kchmviewer", i get this message: package kchmviewer is not installed i'm not understanding this here because when i installed it, there no error message and the configure even said :good: successful, now do make..etc."

i have just download an ebook with the extension ".chm". I don't know with what application to open it. Can any help me please? Thanks! Regards!

Explain...?? but fortran is not so fast..and its libs are not so versatile like those in C..is it? yeah..hey morever C will not be changing at all (well will it?) like C++ is doing or any other language.. I think this is one feature that makes so many programmers stick to C..the langauge is here as it was.. But one thing which sometimes i don't like about C is that we don't have a nice manipulation of strings as we have with C++...

Thanks for the links Qchem! Yeah, i get your point tyme. So, if i got it well, it goes something like this: while there are several possibilities in coding, programmers most of the time choose the most "suited" and "appropriate" language based on what they actually want to achieve. So despite C++ or Java may be possible to use, the most suited one is actually C (which is close to the power of assembly) Hey but just imagine the kernel was purely with assembly...would the kernel be much more powerful? but yeah, in practice, this is a tiresome work.. is it?

who says C++ is slower than C ?? anyways..
