Apologies for the shouting but this is important.
When answering a question please:
- Read the question carefully
- Understand that English isn't everyone's first language so be lenient of bad spelling and grammar
- If a question is poorly phrased then either ask for clarification, ignore it, or mark it down. Insults are not welcome
- If the question is inappropriate then click the 'vote to remove message' button
Insults, slap-downs and sarcasm aren't welcome. Let's work to help developers, not make them feel stupid.

For those new to message boards please try to follow a few simple rules when posting your question.- Choose the correct forum for your message. Posting a VB.NET question in the C++ forum will end in tears.
- Be specific! Don't ask "can someone send me the code to create an application that does 'X'. Pinpoint exactly what it is you need help with.
- Keep the subject line brief, but descriptive. eg "File Serialization problem"
- Keep the question as brief as possible. If you have to include code, include the smallest snippet of code you can.
- Be careful when including code that you haven't made a typo. Typing mistakes can become the focal point instead of the actual question you asked.
- Do not remove or empty a message if others have replied. Keep the thread intact and available for others to search and read. If your problem was answered then edit your message and add "[Solved]" to the subject line of the original post, and cast an approval vote to the one or several answers that really helped you.
- If you are posting source code with your question, place it inside <pre></pre> tags. We advise you also check the "Encode HTML tags when pasting" checkbox before pasting anything inside the PRE block, and make sure "Ignore HTML tags in this message" check box is unchecked.
- Be courteous and DON'T SHOUT. Everyone here helps because they enjoy helping others, not because it's their job.
- Please do not post links to your question in one forum from another, unrelated forum (such as the lounge). It will be deleted.
- Do not be abusive, offensive, inappropriate or harass anyone on the boards. Doing so will get you kicked off and banned. Play nice.
- If you have a school or university assignment, assume that your teacher or lecturer is also reading these forums.
- No advertising or soliciting.
- We reserve the right to move your posts to a more appropriate forum or to delete anything deemed inappropriate or illegal.
cheers, Chris Maunder

Yes, why can't I?
I was stashing away some old photography backup zips last night. I could copy 4 of my ~ 7 GB backup zips to my external USB connected hard-drive when I got the error message "Cannot copy file. Not enough free space." (sort of)
But there are 120 GB free. Why is this?

FAT32 has a 4 GB file size limit.

No, as far as I know FAT32 only support 2Gb maximum file size. NTFS is maximum support 4Gb.

Not correct; it is 4GB-1 (see here[^]), however some tools can't get beyond 2GB-1 because they used int instead of unsigned int for dealing with file offsets and sizes.
Mekong River wrote: NTFS is maximum support 4Gb
Not correct; supporting much larger files was a primary reason to launch a new file system; see here[^].

Hi, if I turn on desktop computer for one hours and turn on laptop for one hour, which one is consume more electricy? (I just turn on, not running any program).
Thank in advance!!!

depends on the model of each. use a meter, or try and estimate the heath or temperature difference for case or air outlet. most likely the laptop will win, as power conservation is an important design goal for portable devices.

Is it possible for me calculate how much the electricity is used by laptop or desktop in one hours?
Thank in advance!!!

starting from what facts? you need either measurements or assumptions, unless there is something in the product spec you want to believe.
A typical laptop has an AC adapter capable of delivering some 100W; without a battery in the laptop, the adapter just feeds the laptop itself, again the idle dissipation is just a fraction of that (with the monitor included).
A typical desktop has a power supply capable of delivering some 500W; the idle dissipation of course is just a fraction of that (however the monitor is separate).

Hi, Has anyone heard of, or knows about a device which can provide a Time signal to either a Single Computer, or a small (Max 16) Local Network.
The idea is to keep the System Time under 'Lock and Key'. The idea being that it is probably not very Accurate, but, protected from interference, and, generally always giving Increased TimeStamps in Real Time.
Underlaying Problem:-
I developed a Package recording 'Real Time Cash Transactions'.
For Optimisation reasons, the package assumes certain records to be recorded in chronological order. This messed up Badly when a User inadvertedly moved the date forward by several months, Made a few Transactions, and then moved it back again. Typical Users would NOT have an Internet Connection to synchronise the Clock. I'm looking for a Network Connected Clock Device, from which I can read the Transaction Time, regardles of the Local System Time.
Thanks.

There are a number of websites that provide this service. Take a look at the Windows clock to see which one your PC uses. Here[^] is a site that has more information.

If you have a server on the LAN you should be able to use that. I'm not sure of the technical details of how to do it but I'm sure a Google search would come up with something.

Hi,
You Don't seem to understand what I'm trying to achieve.
I am accutely aware that the server on the LAN can provide a Time Service. I also know How to use that service.
This is a Hardware Forum, So I am looking for links for a piece of Hardware, Probably the size of a packet of Cigarettes, NOT FOR ANOTHER COMPUTER!
I am looking, for my own specific reasons, for an Independent Hardware Timing Device, which can be read by software, but which CANNOT BE Set by Software interfacing with it.

I've never heard of one, nor can I really find annything like what you're looking for. Most LAN I've been on use a time reference external to the network to it can't be tampered with and setup appropriate permissions on the domain so no user can manipulate the system clocks. All time is sync'd up to the reference server which is the only device that can get the time from the external source.

You want a time reference that nobody can mess with.
Bram van Kampen wrote: This is a Hardware Forum, So I am looking for links for a piece of Hardware
Actually it's a Hardware & Devices forum. Any system that acts as a time server is, ultimately, a hardware device, even if it uses software to interface with.

You don't! Please at least learn the basics of the subject before asking questions. You obviously have no idea what CSMA/CD is.

I'm planning to buy a laptop. As I haven't owned a laptop before, would like to know the best laptop to buy with following criteria's in mind:
1. Main target is to do programming with Microsoft Technologies (VS2008/21010, SQL Server etc..) 2. Less than or equal $670 3. Better performance 4. Flexible to upgrade 6. Doesn't matter on Size and weight ( i am healthy enough to carry) 7. Doesn't matter on maintainence and support (As i am buying from US, but not belong to US)

So you need lots of memory and a seriously fast HD, preferably solid state.
Tiger456 wrote: 2. Less than or equal $670
Ok forget the harddrive, and add the memory yourself after buying it.
Tiger456 wrote: 3. Better performance
See number 1.
Tiger456 wrote: 4. Flexible to upgrade
Are you sure you want a laptop?
Tiger456 wrote: 6. Doesn't matter on Size and weight ( i am healthy enough to carry)
I've heard that one before, heavy laptops tend to be stationary, really, they do!
Tiger456 wrote: 7. Doesn't matter on maintainence and support (As i am buying from US, but not belong to US)
If you're buying a brand laptop you'll get the support worldwide whether you want it or not.
