RE: Monitor dimming in Windows Vista? People in the comments section are using it on Vista. I'm surprised there isn't an energy saver feature to send relative lamp power data to a monitor. For example, in laptops there is usually a set of hardware registers for this, but setting up a ... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-07-2007 at 02:40 PM |

RE: Javascript Page Loading??? While the code shown is all of the code for displaying things until the page is loaded, the thing of importance here is one tag- the first div. Ashlay is looking for a method to hide elements, and this is the important tag, the one that must enclose... | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-04-2007 at 09:54 AM |

RE: xp being retarted Cast Esuna, of course. A friend of mine has a theory. A few days after being given an iPod, his stereo stopped working. It seems everything from electronics to software can experience jealousy. How about that?! Is CS working now? What is CS, btw? | Verte | Tech Talk | 07-01-2007 at 01:30 PM |
RE: creating an asm opcode Nice! What did you end up doing? | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-29-2007 at 11:42 PM |
RE: creating an asm opcode Dynamic linking is not something I've done by hand before, but I don't think it will be much fun. Still, there's bound to be a dll interface definition on the internet somewhere. | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-29-2007 at 10:07 AM |
RE: 3 Problems- Google Toolbar, Restarts and Firefox Firefox keeps it's bookmarks in a "bookmarks.html" file, searching for that sometimes bears fruit. Do you have any suspicious tasks running? Anything interesting in the recently modified list? | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-29-2007 at 09:57 AM |
RE: Which OS is better? Really, your concern *IS* justified. If they had copied OS X, Vista would be a lot nicer than it is. Much the same as if Linus had ripped from MINIX, Linux would be much nicer than it is. When the Windows display library exposes APIs for PDF renderi... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-29-2007 at 09:48 AM |
RE: creating an asm opcode Oh no, I understood what you meant. I just thought you said you had the function there. If the location of the function is variable, then you will need to jump to the first instruction to be executed, for example, asm(jmp pointer_to_my_function). Now... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-28-2007 at 01:57 PM |
RE: creating an asm opcode I almost drew that exact diagram myself, although I thought you may need an extra operation to resolve the address of the function [but I think maybe I'm being pedantic]. Why should 64 bit alignment be a problem? I think it should be nice and simple... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-28-2007 at 01:39 AM |

RE: Good programming language.. It may be possible, but there are also conversion functions, or where one is not required, a direct cast. | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-27-2007 at 12:01 PM |
RE: Good programming language.. A reference is treated much as a pointer internally. Compiled code only contains memory locations, not variable names. References are often more convenient, but they suffer the same problems with GC. How about overlapping reference arrays, which are... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-27-2007 at 10:17 AM |
RE: Good programming language.. That's what they should do. But, if you use pointers anywhere, you've got to be very careful with GC. For example, if you pass a pointer variable to a subroutine, and the subroutine uses a temp variable to represent that variable inside, assigns a... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-27-2007 at 09:33 AM |
RE: Which OS is better? I don't think it really does require any extra knowledge. Sure, if you're completely alien to it, you will need to log into an IRC channel for help once or twice. But remember that once you didn't know how to install programs on Windows, and it'... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-27-2007 at 09:10 AM |
RE: Good programming language.. What?! It's just another OO C, which is almost exactly what Java and C# are. The only thing you -MAY- miss in C++ is garbage collection, which IMO is more trouble than it's worth [you know better than some dumb algorithm when you don't need your ... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-27-2007 at 08:59 AM |
RE: Which OS is better? No no! No mac has crashed in the history of OS X. [You didn't think someone would accidentally believe me now, did you?] | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-26-2007 at 12:36 PM |
RE: Which OS is better? The last mac that crashed was running OS 9, you're pretty safe these days. That said, I have not crashed my LC [system 7.1] yet. | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-26-2007 at 10:26 AM |
RE: creating an asm opcode The way I would think to do it is replace the last two operations you were doing with an operation to save the instruction pointer and an unconditional jump into free space. At the free space, do the two instructions you replaced before calling the ... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-26-2007 at 10:24 AM |
RE: creating an asm opcode call is not always a simple jmp, depending on the original language it may be the caller or the callee that sets up the new stack, saves the register state, etc. Pick a compiler and compile C code only to ASM, and have it call your function. In the ... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-26-2007 at 09:17 AM |
RE: Which OS is better? You're totally trolling, but I'll bite. From a getting-things-done point of view, I'd say GNU/Linux. It's a complete hack, that's true, but if you need more stability, go with FreeBSD or any of the other BSDs. The GNU/Linux distributions with de... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-26-2007 at 09:00 AM |
RE: creating an asm opcode Take a look at how the call naturally happens. Even if the function is dynamically allocated, you should see a heap of steps for working out the location of the function and loading that into the registers for the call. Wait, what exactly are you doi... | Verte | Tech Talk | 06-25-2007 at 03:26 PM |
