I’m facing a programming problem I’m not sure quite how to approach. I need to inspect an arbitrary process running in Windows. I’d call the task introspection, but I have no access to the source of the process I want to inspect. Ideally, there is some sort of powerful framework for this built into Windows [...]
My car, a 2000 Saturn LS2, now makes a steady tone upon startup that does not stop. It has the sound of a fairly serious warning tone, but none of the dashboard lights are on. I’d really like to know what this means, if anything. It didn’t seem prudent to drive it without knowing what [...]
Assume some way to effectively pause a human life. It doesn’t matter the means: cryogenics, temporal stasis fields, or anything else works so long as it is possible to essentially stop time for that individual indefinitely and start it again later. What is the difference between failure to revive and murder? [edit] Bonus points: is [...]
One consequence of the long delay before I leave for Basic Training is that I have to come up with two more months’ rent. As such, I set out yesterday to acquire a basic, simple job that would pay over $10/hour and for which I could start immediately and end abruptly when it was time [...]
I am looking for programming jobs. Ideally, I want to work outside the US, but I’m willing to return in the case that I can’t find anything outside. This is a request for comments on my resume*, which I will begin distributing shortly. If, of course, your first thought upon seeing the resume is “I [...]
I was out walking today (mainly to remind myself that the sun does exist, and that unlike a vampire, I will not wither and die from contact with its rays), and I saw a bunch of kids playing soccer in the field. This would not be particularly remarkable in and of itself, because winter here [...]
This is the first draft of my personal statement, which is the only essay I get to write for my graduate application. I’m curious what you think of it. Your Personal Statement should be a brief but carefully written essay regarding: 1) your reasons you want to do graduate work in this particular field, 2) [...]
I don’t suppose anyone just happens to know how to make php work on xitami? I get the following error: “Internal error: your request was unsuccessful Cannot create CGI process – program not found” I’m pretty sure I’ve set the config to the proper directory, but it doesn’t seem to be working for some reason. [...]
Do any of you have an email client that you particluarly prefer, that runs on Windows? I really liked KMail, but getting it to run within Windows is troublesome, as it’s a Linux application.
Ok, here’s how it is. I have a set of about 400 contacts, which I keep in my Palm Pilot. I want to take the 100 I use most often and put them into the phone, without having to type each one in on the keypad. The phone I have is the Nokia 3560. Unfortunately, [...]
