    Linked list using structures

    Hi All, This is my first post for quite some time, having been active on some of the Oracle forums a while ago. I hope someone out there can point me in the right direction. I'm picking up VB.Net using Visual Basic 2010. I've used linked lists in C very effectively in the past, and I'd like...

    Data security in 11g

    Can someone explain how, if at all, Oracle 11g data is secured in a tablespace? By this I mean, if I store some data in a table, then some 'person' removes the hard drive from the server to examine the raw data on the drive, would they be able to read the data directly? If so, whats the best...

    Unix C, writing to file as non-owner

    Is it possible in C on Unix to write to a file not owned by the program executor, and the file has r--r--r-- privileges? The reason I ask is because this is what SCCS seems to do and I want to do the same thing. All SCCS files are created with r--r--r-- privileges, but anyone using the SCCS...

    I have just installed a new hard disk drive - it is the only HDD in the PC. This is attached to the primary IDE. On the secondary IDE are a CD-RW and a DVD-ROM. When I boot XP Home and then go into Windows Explorer, the HDD appears as Local Disk (F:). The CD and DVD appear as D: and E:. Why...

    Two identical HDD failures

    I have a friend for whom I have fixed a PC recently. His original HDD was failing in that it refused to boot into Windows XP. A few diagnostics later and I found the drive was developing bad sectors. Hundreds of them. We were able to recover his data files in time before the drive failed...

    So I got this shiny new Seagate Barracuda 120GB drive for my aging PC (may be a clue there). The PC has a 1999 version of the Award 4.51 BIOS. Its a Pentium III 800 with VIA chipset. I have installed XP on the Seagate drive, which runs OK at first, but following the first power-down and reboot...

    I've been using Win98 SE without (too many) probelems for over 4 years on my PC. Recently, however, my two CD-Rom drives keep disappearing on the first boot of the day. The device manager reports a problem with the secondary IDE driver and the CD-Roms are just not there. If I reboot they...

    USB Joystick, Serial pedals.....

    My Bro-in-law has a new-ish PC with XP home and an MS Sidewinder USB joystick. So far so good. However, he wants to plug in his serial-port aircraft control pedals. Can a USB joystick and serial pedals be successfully combined in XP? If so, how? (x-posted to PC Hardware - peripherals)
