Thanks everyone for the help, but this was the correct
answer.

I needed to do it like this..


(btw, I am using bloodshed :))

void main(void)

{


float gallons, miles, mpg, gallonaccumulator,
milesaccumulator, overall;
int counter;

gallonaccumulator = 0;
milesaccumulator  = 0;

printf(Welcome to my totally awesome milage
calculator!.);
printf(\n\nThis program will calculate the miles per
gallon for you for three tanks of gas after you have
entered the gallons used and miles driven.\n\n);
for (counter=1; counter =3; counter++)
{
if (counter == 1)
printf(Enter the number
of gallons used for tank#%i:  , counter);
else
printf(\nEnter the number
of gallons used for tank#%i:  , counter);
scanf(%f, gallons);
gallonaccumulator =
gallonaccumulator + gallons;
fflush (stdin);
printf(Enter the number of miles
driven:   );
scanf(%f, miles);
milesaccumulator =
milesaccumulator + miles;
fflush (stdin);
mpg = miles / gallons;
printf(*** The miles per gallon
for this tank is %.1f\n, mpg); 
 }
 overall = milesaccumulator / gallonaccumulator;
 printf(\nYour overall average miles per gallon
for three tanks is %.1f, overall);
 printf(\n\nThank you for using my awesome
program!);

 I think this works ...

 {
 printf(\nEnter the number of gallons used

 }
 printf(\n\r);
 printf(Enter any number to exit ...);
 scanf(%f, miles);
 }

//-
 The big problem in the version you submitted is that
 mpg cannot be
 calculated correctly
 until BOTH gallons AND miles have been initialized.
 After gallons and miles
 have been
 entered, you want to calculate mpg and print the
 result and then repeat the
 same process
 two more times with different values for gallons or
 miles.
 
 You don't need the if/then to accomplish this
 pattern.
 
 Good luck with c. It can be a very useful thing to
 know if you have a
 decent IDE and
 compiler. I used this:

Hey Jim  Greg, good to hear from you two.  How would I check for the AGPGart 
issue?  

Greg, I checked and Cool-and-Quiet was disabled, but I:
Disabled CPU Thermal Throttling (what does that do? - was at 50%)
Upgraded the BIOS
Removed the onboard sound and added my Audigy

After those 3, stutters seem to at least have been reduced (for now), but I'm 
afraid this may be something that builds up over time after my computer's been 
running for awhile.  Need to do more testing...

Another major problem that may be related is when accessing my optical drives 
sometimes my system hangs / slows for a short while.  A good example is when I 
start burning a DVD with DVDShrink.  When my burner first gets started, I could 
be typing this email (as I was actually), and typed a few words that didn't 
show up until a minute later...  For the rest of the burn it did okay though...

[H] NVIDIA Firewall?

2006-03-01 Thread kyamnitz
Hi all,
  I'm just curious what everyone's opinion is of the NVIDIA hardware 
firewall with Active Armor and Anti-Hacking...  I just started using this 
with my new nForce 4 Ultra board (DFI), and I like the control I get with it, 
but it seems to really slow my Internet surfing.  Anyone else experience this?  
Are there ways to speed it up?  It also seems to block some Flash video from 
coming in properly (go to NickJr.com and click on Video to test).  I'm using a 
custom config based on the Medium security level.

  I'm already behind a LinkSys router + firewall, so I don't know if this 
is overkill, but at least the NVIDIA firewall lets me block at the application 
level, etc.  I have more control - kinda cool.  I just hate the slowness...  
Could it be because it's going through 2 firewalls?  Thanks,

Everything I've read from a great many learned people say that you need 
a variety of tools in your toolbox to minimize the chances of infection. 
But it's still going to happen no matter what we do or how diligent in 
our efforts to prevent it we are. They build better mousetraps all the

I get the same on kind of *pause* while gaming and think it has 
something to do with CD/DVD rom drive access.


Don't think it's CPU cycles but a hardware/interrupt thing since I get 
it on both the laptop (P4/2Ghz) and the desktop (XP2800) here with even 
older games like CC generals when scrolling across map.


Dell did fuck up IMO by putting the internal optical drive on same chain 
as HDD in the laptop, why is a mystery.

[H] Eudora SMTP problem

2006-03-01 Thread Winterlight
I have a COX account, and up until recently have been using COX for SMTP 
for all my accounts. I also have domains hosted with Godaddy. Godaddy 
allows for SMTP access. You have to enable SMTP on the Godaddy account, and 
set parameters, as well as specify the correct port in Eudora ini, but once 
you do that SMTP works fine. But there is one glitch that I have not been 
able to resolve.


The above procedure works just fine if I am creating a new email account 
that has never used Godaddy as SMTP, but will not work if I try to change 
an existing account that uses COX for SMTP to Godaddy SMTP.


I delete the account in Eudora Personalities, and then go into the ini 
file, and remove all mention of the account. Then close Eudora, start it up 
and create the new account with Godaddy SMTP... it doesn't work. ... 
unless, of course, I set it up again with COX SMTP. POP of course works 
fine with my own domain mail server = Godaddy.


There has to be another file entry somewhere that specifies COX for this 
account, that isn't being erased... any ideas?

Hey Kyle!
Welcome back!  How's the family?  Glad to see that the website is taking off!

When I've had the problem like you describe below, I usually end up 
reformatting and putting Windows back on, as it's a PAIN in the ass to get 
working otherwise.  I presume you've looked in your Event Log and haven't see 
any problems there.  What programs are running in the background?

BTW, as you said, the NVIDIA Firewall is good for blocking application stuff.  
You never know, someone might mistakenly install a trojan on your computer and 
that would pick it up.  It's also hardware accelerated, so it doen't affect 
speed much.

Take care and good seeing you back!

I've been surviving off of freeware for quite a while, and now I think it's 
time to get serious about AV protection.


The kids computer is riddled with garbage, but I basically gave up trying to 
protect it because they're their own worst enemy when it comes to online 
caution.  about every 2 or 3 months I have to go in and clean it out with 
SpyBot and AdAware (which has mysteriously disappeared, I think the little 
turds deleted the program).


Anyway, their computer is now so borked that I can't even d/l any programs 
such as AdAware (which I wanted to reinstall) or anything else because the 
browser keeps getting hijacked.  I tried to download Hijack This, but ended 
up with a program called AdwareAlert which wants to charge $30...  does 
Hijack This still exist as a freeware program?


So I echo the question, is there an AV program that's worthwhile that 
catches everything?  Jeez, you would think the major AV's would work in 
concert (i.e. check each other's websites for updates and integrate them 
across the board) to provide the best protection possible and let the 
features, add-ons or interface be what differentiates them.

I think the short answer to the question is NO. Sadly, I know people that
actually run multiple AV scanners though I feel that really the effectiveness is
dubious. 

The debate in many circles continues to rage about NOD32 vs: Kaspersky. They are
really neck and neck, each one offering some advantages that other doesn't have.
NOD32 seems lower on resources while Kaspersky is thought to have better
heuristics. Kaspersky has a larger virus database and generally is thought to
have better Trojan detection rates than NOD32 though I don't know that this is
true 100% of the time.. So I agree.. Also Kaspersky updates their AV bases every

#!/bin/bash
while read LINE
  do
snmptrap  $LINE
done

then set up a destination in the syslog-ng.conf file:
  destination traps { program(/opt/scripts/sendtraps); };

Send whatever you want through the destination, filtering it as need.d

Thanks. I have not had a chance to mess with any of this yesterday, but
hopefully today I will be able to.

Do you also know if you can have Syslog-NG send out SNMP alerts if there
are certain events in logs?

Have you checked to see if the SYSLOG traffic is hitting the server? A
tcpdump should show the traffic.

Other then the MySQL logging, I'm not doing that much different with my
 config - I've used remote logging in the past.

Try running syslog-ng in debug mode (syslog -d) to see if the traffic
comes through and gets filtered.







Re: [H] NVIDIA Firewall?

2006-03-01 Thread kyamnitz
Just thought I'd add a note to this...  I tried refreshing a web page 
repeatedly with my main PC with the NVIDIA firewall, then did the same thing on 
another computer (same speed), and it refreshed *much* faster than the one with 
the NVIDIA firewall  :(  Any ideas (other than disabling the firewall which I'm 
inclined to do)?  Thanks,

 Hi all,
   I'm just curious what everyone's opinion is of the NVIDIA hardware 
 firewall with Active Armor and Anti-Hacking...  I just started using this 
 with my new nForce 4 Ultra board (DFI), and I like the control I get with it, 
 but it seems to really slow my Internet surfing.  Anyone else experience 
 this?  
 Are there ways to speed it up?  It also seems to block some Flash video from 
 coming in properly (go to NickJr.com and click on Video to test).  I'm using 
 a 
 custom config based on the Medium security level.
 
   I'm already behind a LinkSys router + firewall, so I don't know if this 
 is 
 overkill, but at least the NVIDIA firewall lets me block at the application 
 level, etc.  I have more control - kinda cool.  I just hate the slowness...  
 Could it be because it's going through 2 firewalls?  Thanks,
   --Kyle Yamnitz

I have a NVIDIA firewall on my board, and I think the interface is cool, 
and would be great if I was using that PC as a router or maybe a server, 
but since I have a hardware router, and I need a software router to control 
what is going out, I did, in fact, disable the NVIDIA.

Have you checked that you are using DMA for your IDE drivers in device 
Manager and also have you turned on/off autostart?


Um, agpgart You might see if that is trying to load during the boot up 
process and also consider running a old driver cleaner app.

This is for a customer and right off not sure WTF, when she opens a excel doc 
and tries to *save as* it throws a message in use by briefcase and will not let 
her save. Networked system but nobody else is logged on.

Any pointers appreciated, going in AM. My first thought are to check out the 
briefcase and then maybe a office repair.
Thanks

You guys notice that the apache.exe program it loads into memory takes
anywhere between 20-50 megs of ram?  That's the one thing I couldn't stand
about it.
