  1. Not homework. I run a security company and we are currently going green.  We are attempting to go as green as possible.  Yes you are correct, however we are talking about 100 separate cuts and that would be too much to manually compute.  I am hoping someone knows of a code or script that is available for use, or potentially someone really loves coding/programming.  Nobody within our field has any knowledge of such a site or code that will do this.

  2. When running wire, there is always waste. What code or formula could I use to determine the best cuts to make with as little waste as possible? I will need many cuts (100+) and will be using thousands of feet of cable. Cable comes in spools of 1,000ft and the proper cuts could save thousands of feet in waste. Cables cannot be spliced. Python, php, or javascript preferred.

    For instance, I need to cut 7 cables and only have 1,000ft spools. Lengths are:

    250ft=a

    250ft=b

    350ft=c

    150ft=d

    850ft=e

    600ft=f

    500ft=g

     

    a+b+c+d, e, f would use 3 boxes and would have a waste of 150ft from "e box" and 400ft from "f box".

     

    e+d, f+c, a+b would also use 3 boxes but would have a waste of 50ft from "f+c box" and 500ft from "a+b box".

     

    As you an see, g would be the 4th box from the first example. In the second example, there would be less waste as g could be included in the a+b box.

  3. Sure, there's no redirects or anything, because this is a custom search engine provided as a service to anyone of whom would like to create one. All the searches completed correctly, but knowing that I was using a customized search provided by another that I did not sign up for did not give me that warm, fuzzy feeling. Knowing that they were tracking every site I went to through their search definitely did not make me too happy of a camper.

  4. I've just discovered today that when searching in FF v.3.6.2, the results came back and looked kind of funny. Instantly, I knew something was up. I ran every scan including MBAM, HiJack This, and Avast, but to no avail.

     

    My search results came back from the page http://www.google.com/cse?cx=partner-pub-3...7%3Ac8hkjv-9xef Search a word in there and it will display the same page as mine once did. I viewed the source of the Google image, and here's my result: http://price-advisor.com/google_logo_sm.gif

     

    If this doesn't have spyware written all over it, I don't know what does. I searched the web for a good 20-30 minutes in regards to this issue, and many are having it but few are finding solutions. Being from http://google.com originally, it appears it is tied into Google as someone's "custom search engine". The question is, how did I come about this?

     

    My solution: uninstall the Google search addon and do a fresh install on it. Worked like a charm. I hope this will be of help to many, and if any have information in regards to it, please do share.

     

    Oh, and long time no see Ccleaner Forum Members!

  5. Recently, I've come in contact with a website known only as http://stupidfemales.com

     

    This site isn?t made to degrade ALL women, but it was made to expose the flaws most females in our society seem to posses.

     

    To all the ladies out there, do you find something of such offensive? Why or why not?

     

    I personally am a fan of their latest story in regards to Rihanna.

    Gmail Custom Time

     

    How do I use it?

     

    Just click "Set custom time" from the Compose view. Any email you send to the past appears in the proper chronological order in your recipient's inbox. You can opt for it to show up read or unread by selecting the appropriate option.

    Tested and works like a charm. Shame you only get 10 though. Thoughts?

     

     

  7. 2. Use quotes when quoting someone or another site.

    6. The quick tour may be found here.

    7. No, they are not connected. They simply use the same forum software known as IPB which is why you may have been led to believe they were somehow connected.

     

    I believe, between us four, that all questions have been answered. If you've got any other questions, let us know. ;)

  9. True to this! 20 TB, c'mon now. We all need at least 50 TB. ;)

    In all honesty, I usually refer them to google, if not charge them for help. If it's something simple, I normally charge more for their stupidity and not knowing how to use the Internet or forums.

    These kids need to go out and get lives. They'll all be the next "40 year old virgins".

  10. To make things easier, this could be added fields in the user profile. It could also be displayed upon registration of new members. Just my two cents.

  13. Intel? Pentium? 4 CPU, 3.06 GHz, 1GB of RAM, XP home SP2

    Need to get another stick of RAM at the least for now.

     

    No, not a server pc. Just my home pc. I had a busy night and was doing a lot of stuff. It's normally around 45-50. Right now it's at 46, and I'm not doing that much.

    Nice use of the smilies. :D;):)
