Programming :: Write A Small Program That Shows Some Stockquotes And Indexes Etc On The Desktop?
Aug 29, 2010
I want to write a small program that shows some stockquotes and indexes etc on the desktop. Does anyone know how to get the quotes from google, yahoo etc? Do I rip it from the webpages or is there some other way?
this is my first post and I would like to get some help from you , so what should be the answer for this question ?:::::::::::::the question::::::::::::::::THE UNIVERSITY APARTMENTSThe University Apartments provides apartment rental to university students at affordable rates, with optional facilities:Apartment Type A, 2 bedrooms and equiped with kitchen and laundry facilities. The monthly rental for the rooms in this apartment type is RM300.Apartment Type B, 3 bedrooms includes one master bedroom with attached bathroom but does not have kitchen and laundry facilities. The monthly rental for the rooms in this apartment type is RM200 and students staying in the master bedroom will be paying an additional 40%.
Each apartment may house a maximum of 3 students. Students are required to check out from the apartment unit when the current semester ends.Create an application to manage the university apartments rental:1. Register new student and assign apartment moduleRegister and assigns an apartment to the student for 140 days from the date of registration. The module should retrieve the date automatically from the system clock and calculates the expiry date for the apartment rental. Before an apartment is assigned, the system should allow the selection of the type of apartment (i.e. Type A or B), then check for the number of occupants in the apartment. If the apartment already housed 3 students, it should recommend another apartment unit that is still available. Upon registration, student should pay a RM100 for the utility charges, rental deposit for one month and the rental for the current month.
2. Update apartment status moduleWhen a student moves out from an apartment, the apartment status is updated.3. Reporting moduleGenerates a report of apartments with full occupancy and another report for apartments where rooms are still available. 4. Search module Enable the administrator to search for a student's apartment unit using the student id as the search key. The search result should produce the student�s information and the details of the apartment that the student is staying in.The application should be developed using object-oriented concepts using Student class and Apartment class, implementing the appropriate data fields and methods for the classes. Data may be stored in collections i.e

The OS is ubuntu and I use Netbeans 7.0 with Glassfish 3.1 web server.The program executes but it does not open and write into a specified file in a specified folder. The same C++ program compiled under Windows opens and writes this file.How can I solve this problem in Linux?

How the 16 bit integer is stored in a variable..Earlier I wrote a program on trees and displayed it using dotty.. Is there any such tool to display a maze..I am using ubuntu 10.04.
write a C program to detect whether the Ethernet cable is plugged or unplugged. I found out by using a command "nm-tool" in Linux terminal will show me whether a Ethernet cable is plugged or not. If Ethernet cable is plugged, in the device part of eth0, the Hardware Link of Wired Settings will indicate a "yes" and "no" if no Ethernet cable. Hence, in my previous code, I use one function called popen to read the state as shown below:
PHP Code:
[code]....
However, now my project wish to not use the NetworkManager (where the "nm-tool" command comes from). And this gives me trouble to detect the Ethernet cable. So is there any other method for me to detect the Ethernet cable in C programming?

I really like command line (I get there by pressing Ctrl+Alt+(F1..F6)) but the screen isn't full it's just a rectangle in the middle (like wide screen movies) I don't know what's the problem,
I'm trying to write a program which would get information from a webpage and display the information on my desktop sort of like a widget. I kind of remember there being something like this already made, but for the life of me I can't remember what it's calledDoes anyone know?
I have recently dropped to a command line to run a DB server. In attempting to write a bit of Python to do this process I went to install emacs using apt-get and noticed that the foot print of the install was going to be around 130 Mb. Likewise with a couple other programs the install size was going to be a lot larger than I anticipated. I was wondering how the footprint could be so large and is there a way to install software without this blow out. While I am happy to use vi or import the code from a desktop with a GUI I think this would be interesting to know.
The "System Settings/Startup Programs" window is large enough but the "Program" column is too narrow and it cannot be resized. The window can be dragged to make it larger but not the individual columns. It looks like a Java listbox with "Enabled = false" set. This occurs in Debian8 64 bit and also in Mint 17 and Mint LMDE2. I am surprised nobody else has raised the issue. I have a basic setup with 22" screen and 1680 x 1050 resolution. It occurs with Nouveau and NVidia drivers. It is not a critical bug so I have coped with it for 2 years but it would be nice to see it fixed. Unfortunately I could not upload a screen shot as "board attachment quota has been reached".
Have recently tried to start ubuntu with kubuntu-desktop, but as I reboot my computer kubuntu only shows the terminal after the login and I cant get my desktop back.
Its difficult to explain, but when I installed OpenSuse 11.3 64 bit with KDE there was a small folder/box in the upper left corner of the screen. It contained shortcuts to SuSe Help, Open Office, Firefox, My Computer and a few more. I fidgeted with my desktop activity settings and it disappeared. How do I get it back?
I was trying out different settings for KDE 4. The setting was for "Desktop Activity Type and I selected "Plain Desktop no Toolbar" When that was applied, suddenly the desktop icons got very small and I tried to set them larger again but that did not work, the settings for Desktop icons from "Configure Desktop" were only applied in the Plasma Dashboard, not the desktop itself
I'm trying to record my desktop and tested some solutions. While I was impressed how small .mng files could be, it is a disadvantage that I can't capture audio with it and many users won't be able to open these (browser / Windows). I have been very impressed by the xvidcap instruction videos: 4:30 in only 9MB, which makes 180MB for 90 minutes. This would be suitable. With Camtasia my professor even records 90min in 100MB. The problem is that xvidcap hasn't been updated since 2006 and seems to be dead. RecordMyDesktop needs 6MB for 1 minute or 540MB for 90 minutes, which is too much. Could anybody give me some hints on how to capture very small video files, which are still clear enough to read text in a format most users can open? It would also be cool to be able to show specific PDF or HTML pages synchronised to the video.
I can't get the desktop icons to enlarge on openSuse 11.3RC1. Any solutions out there? Also I'm having trouble with the LCD weather panel icon, and the adjustment. I tried to find it in an "add-on" (KDE-Toys) but failed.
