Everyone seems to suggest it would be hard to just jump in. I guess this all depends on your knowledge of programming and logic in general.
I do agree with starting simple. Let's think tic tac toe. The gui would consist of a frame with nine buttons. Each button would call the same method passing in a variable for which player the turn currently belongs to. The gui would then be re-packed to screen with the button now holding an x or o depending on who clicked.
How do you keep track of the logic and actualy find a winner? Everytime a play is called you store it in a two dimensional array of size 3x3. Your array would consist of type int using 1 for player one and two for two ofcourse. After every move logic would be called to check the array for three of either type in a row(this can be optimized later to only check for pieces made by the current player).
Seem too simple? It might, i doubt it if you're new to programing. Check with your instructor. Don't forget if you find that you get this done in record time there are ways to expand this. Think network play with peer to peer, client server network play with checking for cheating, and if you want to get really complicated try to implement 3d tic tac toe(think three boards stacked, you can win going across multiple boards verticle and diagnal).
I had many years of digital photos on a partition that used the reiser file system. When i upgraded my version of slackware i wrote down my partition table wrong and ended up re-making the reiser file system over my picture three times. After realizing what i did i un-mounted the partition, read the man page, played the journal back, and got all but five pictures back.
Is data loss a risk? sure, but what is the most likely cause?
Since it seems you are not looking for a cms but a website that focuses in nothing but delivering news i recomend writing your own cms. I am currently in the process of doing this for my college and i'm finding it to be incredibly easy to do so. It consists of postgresql and php. It supports all the major features one would expect.
If your intrested in taking a look at what i have or perhaps even helping the development process let me know at jjshoe at gmail.
so your assignment was to download via wget/perl http::mechanize projects on sf.net and then run grep to look for common errors and a majority of the class couldn't find exploits? sounds like lazyness.
I recommend you take an entry level software engineering course. You have also taken things i have said out of context. anyways, this is about what i expect from/. but this is why i don't post often enough to deal with this crap.
Some cs students will do these kinds of things to pay the bills but you had better make sure you make it worth their time. Before you contact a cs student you should also make sure that you have clear goals marked out so that whichever cs student you aproach is able to see that he will be DONE with the project at a certain point. $150 for a days work is not bad. The problem comes when the customer nickles and dimes the cs student to death with all sorts of extras for the next week.
As far as what to actualy make the product with leave that up to the cs student to decide. Give him clear requirements and let him do his thing. It's important that you provide (and are asked for it) input through out the project.
You shouldn't care about what goes on under the hood as long as the solution the cs student comes up with works and is what you want.
While there is a lot more to computer science then just coding how dare you say to him that he is not intrested in computer science just because he likes to code. What major do you want him to seek out? under water basket weaving?
I think you missed the entire point of his question.
4# Is XORP in competition with the commerical router vendors?
XORP is primarily a research project. We're not competing with router vendors, we're interested in facilitating routing research - providing researchers with a platform where they can try out routing ideas. The code is open source since it's hard to help the research community without providing the source code.
There are two things i did for Pat. One was to let the folks in #slash know about this. They contacted the on-call editor and rushed this story to the front page. Please take your time to thank them for getting the word out about Pat's situation.
I also told Pat that he is more then welcome to stay at my house in Rochester if he decides to come and visit the clinic.
Go color laser. Pull out your calculator and do the page comparisons. Not only will you find out it's cheaper per sheet to run a color laser you will also find the quality and the fact that the ink wont run off the page when it's wet top selling features.
Did you read either article? How is it a day late? The article you linked to is talking about an incident in Texas. I guess i fail to see how installing the lightning detection in colorado any earlier would have helped in the Texas situation.
Not to mention the picture is badly adjusted and fuzy. All they need to do is hit the auto adjust button. Some wont care about the lack of picture quality or they will request a new monitor. Nothing like walking in, hitting auto, and saying no to their reuqest for a new monitor!

Too bad your dad lied to you.

Mac OSX has a bsd 'like' micro kernel, NOT a unix 'like' operating system.

What's the difference between writing a file to null and just the letter a? same affect.
personal attack is more along the lines of..
20 years and your STILL ONLY a Programmer/Analyst.
wow. sucks to be you.

What no djb tools on the list? That seems the quickest way to fail, find an exploit in a djb tool.

i have a tcl\tk inventory application that could easily be used as suggested. contact me at jjshoe@gmail.com if your intrested.
how about the fact that heavy leaf folage can block gps signals? what do you think a car roof is going to do?

you can still download the program from here
Cool, i can fake three surverys and have money sent to me, and each of my grandparents to make $30.

Rather then mod you down i figured i should mention that i see images in the google cache

Don't follow orders -- End up in the brig or in time of war, shot.
Follow orders -- Person giving orders get's the repremend.
hmm. tough choice.
Custom radar detector? older detector shreaded for better forwards backwards detection? Jammer? Ask the previous owner.
