    Eclipse plugin help

    Since Eclipse is written in Java, unless a plugin uses native code, it should run on all platforms eclipse runs on. Try this on for size (get the free edition) http://www.omondo.com/. We just installed it where I work and so far everyone is loving it. Beats the pants off Rational Rose and is...

    Vsync?

    There is subtle nuance here regarding vsync. With vsync off you can get tearing at ANY framerate. First let's understand what vsync means. The term probably originates from CRT displays and carries over in some algorithmic form to the LCD stuff. A CRT display uses an electron beam to excite...

    3D Messenger Project

    Rather than an entire project, I think it would make more sense to build from an existing "messaging" type application like GAIM. GAIM already supports multiple protocols and is cross platform. Your additional 3D world could simply be a GAIM plugin. As far as 3D goes, if you want cross platform...

    need help measuring times in VB

    lookup how to use QueryPerformanceCounters (it's a windows API call) in VB. With that I think you can get your desired accuracy. I would be wary of the accuracy of the lego mindstorms. Don't get me wrong, it's a good idea just make sure you test it all out. Some other options to consider...

    Is 192kHz a gimmick?

    Human hearing tends to have a range from low hertz (10-20 ... do you hear or feel) up through around 20khz (depending on the person). My figures probably aren't 100%, but I think they're close. This is why CDs are starting at 44.1khz, that's roughly Nyquist for human hearing. Sampling at a...

    Assembly Language books/tutorials

    I'd go with NASM for a compiler, it's fantastic ;) The Art of Assembly language IS useful. Later chapters (6, 14) go into gory detail of specific intel x86 ISA. Some of the concepts it presents are valid regardless of ISA such as the general idea behind control statements in C and how they...

    wierd BMP parse problem

    I'm gonna go on pure speculation here so take it w/ a grain of salt. Seems some sort of word/block alignment problem which would explain the skew you're getting. It may also explain why it works for nice even numbers. Have you tried an image that is a multiple of 2 but not 4? Off the top of...

    other programming-type forums

    I enjoy reading this forums but sometimes I crave a little more to get me through the day (that's right, it's an addiction.) Usually I manage to either learn something new or contribue to another's learning. Now to the main question... Does anyone know of any other forums similar to this one...

    JApplet drawPolyLine problem

    IThe question is, what do YOU expect to see? Consider this, Math.sin(...) takes RADIANS for it's input argument. Is your frequency value in radians? If you need to convert use Math.toRadians() and Math.toDegrees().

    Slackware 10.0 Gateway Q.

    so you get slack installed and reboot .... does the kernel load at all? If the kernel doesn't load, you may have incorrectly installed LILO. Consider installing again and reading up on LILO/slackware install. While I've installed slack several times, I can't say exactly what you may have done...
