Hi Grand Negus,
Forgive my ignorance. I followed your tag. So I'm having trouble with the following:
Gerry Rzeppa is a husband, father, songwriter, author, teacher, pastor, mathematician, architect, electrical engineer and computer scientist. He is currently director of Research and Development for Relational Systems Corporation (which he founded in 1980) and is the Grand Negus of the Osmosian Order of Plain English Programmers where an "Apparently Intelligent" machine similar to the HAL 9000 is now being developed.
I suppose the chocking points are mathematician and computer scientist. In either field, you should have had an introduction to this subject. I would expect something more than an introduction if the program was from an accredited university.
So, I'm going to write this off as you simply enjoy being argumentative. Some people simply cannot be pleased.
Thanks for the comments,
Jeff

So much for customer data.

Sadly, you can't change the nature of people in that world. This alone makes your crusade a moot point.

Hi Dave,
It seems someone enjoys offering 1's as a vote when he encounters a differing opinion! If I recall history correctly, many Chrisitan churches used the same strong arming. Do you think he is the leader of a Chrisitan flock?
Perhaps it is a cult - similar to the Halley Comet crew. Do you think they are stock piling rolls of quarters and sneakers for the rendevous with the mothership?
From Comets as Harbingers of Momentous Events[^]:In 1997 fantasists believed that a Saturn-shaped spaceship was hiding behind Comet Hale-Bopp, ready to invade Earth. This led to the mass suicide of 39 members of the Heaven's Gate cult! How long before that comet makes it's way back around? Relational Systems Corporation is going to miss it's Director of Research. First thing on the agenda will be to explain all the difficult Computer Science acronyms to the new director...
Before he leaves, I hope he shares the secret of his prodigiousness: 1900 posts in 7 months. Who is directing research? See Gerry Rzeppa[^]. And he joined on a Sunday. How blasphemous!

Yeah, I think he's one of a few "UniVoters" around here.

It would be kind of interesting. Though I don't know if CP keeps track of which votes were cast. I think it just adds the new value to the old total then divides by 2 for the new average vote, then stored it.
I'm kind of interested in knowing what happened to Pope Gerry.

Hi Gerry,
The Grand Negus wrote: If you're trying to attract readers like me who have but a passing interest in cryptography
Apparently, the material is above your current skill set. So I'd have to say I'm probably not interested in readers such as yourself. Perhaps the reader who will be more engaging has more than a passing interest and posses at least a basic knowledge in the subject.
The Grand Negus wrote: ... explain unfamiliar names and acronyms ([Crypto++] and RSA, for example).
So that you have a reason why, explaining terms such as RSA and TCP/IP tells me you do not have the requisite background skills and knowledge. I can state it two more times if you'd like, but I think you get the point (you previously stated you wanted things explained three different ways).
Thank you for the feedback (and the votes). They are greatly appreciated. Also, good luck with your technology company.

Hi all,

Plz any one help me
Thanks in advance

It sounds more like you want someone to write a DayPlanner program for you. Try ToDoList, it'll probably be listed on the home page. If nothing else you'll find some sample source and get ideas for your own project.

Hi,
I dont want any one to write code for my project. I just asked an sample code, to see how they did and to get some ideas from that, also i am new to this. No one is born as experts. I wish and want to learn not to copy or use the others codes.
Any have thanks for your reply

Ah, I misunderstood.
A day planner certainly can be an excellent utility to write to learn a number of different topics.
While not reminder programs per se, you might want to look at some of these articles to see about working with a variety of calendar controls:
http://www.codeproject.com/cs/miscctrl/#Date%2FTime+controls[^]
While probably more complex than you're looking for, ToDo[^] could still offer some valuable insight.
I hope those help.

Hi friends,
i want to learn c# language.
so that i need some simple example programs..
like matrix manipulation,
polynomial, linked list's if possible..
can u help me?
thank u friends...

These aren't simple examples. This sounds suspiciously like coursework to me.

Even if what you want is help with your homework, I think you will find that people here are willing to help you learn - but you must show that you are willing to make some effort to help yourself. Try to tackle one of the problems you mentioned, see how far you can take it. Then ask a question like, "I do this and then I do this, but then I have a problem with this." That will get you more help than just listing your homework problems.
And please show some courtesy and stop using the SMS speak - don't use u, ur, etc.

Then you've come to the wrong site. CP is dedicated to Microsoft's Visual Studio .NET products and Windows development.
You'll want to find a Java-centric site like http://www.java.net/[^].

Hi Dave,
It's too bad the Grand Pubah did not jump in with his technology company... He could have rescued another soul.

If you really want to learn about Java I'll teach you the most important thing. Switch to another language, maybe C# since they are so closely related.

Sounds like you have done some research. Maybe you should right that article.
