Indian Hippy

Hey guys,

Let me get straight to the point. I've been trying to update my Xperia S to the new build and the JellyBean update since the past 2 weeks but I haven't been able to do so. I've tried both the update service and PC companion and tired re-installing PC companion and update service to their latest versions but still nothing's changed. I'm ripping my hair from my head trying to figure this out. Totally fed up with Sony. I live in Dubai which is in the ME region. Any ideas why this is so? Or do you know of any fix? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you :-)

Hey there guys! I bought a Dell XPS 15 L502X last year around July. The specs mentioned that it had 2GB graphics and that was really why I bought it. Upon utilizing it for a couple of months I realized that it has 2 cards. The Intel HD and the nVidia GT 540M. Now, this was no problem for me at start. I played a lot of games like ACII, Max Payne 3, Battle Field 3 and such without any problems. But now my system hangs whenever I start a game like WoW or TF2. Now, I know that these aren't that graphic intensive games but upon further checking with GPU-z it showed that I had 99% load on my GPU whenever I played these games. It gets over heated I guess? I'm not sure. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, should I try installing a fresh copy of windows if nothing works out? Thank you.

Hey guys, I live in the Middle East and recently got an Xperia S from my local Sony certified retailer. When I checked the specs it said that it has 1 GB of Ram and 1.5Ghz Dual core processor. But when I finally got the device and ran some benchmark tests and checked the RAM, my system had only about 650 - 700 Mb of RAM. Why is this?

Also, how do I connect it via bluetooth to my Windows 7 PC? Connecting via USB and again replacing it to the charger near my bed becomes a hassle.

Hope you guys can answer my question. Thank you :)

Hey there gamers,

I recently bought Max Payne 3 for the PC and I installed it but there is significant mouse lag at higher resolutions. It's good at 800 x 600 only. I've a Dell XPS 15 and the specs said that it has a 2 GB of graphics and 6 GB of RAM. Upon doing further inspection I found that it has Intel HD graphics card as well as a nVidia GT 540M. I am not sure about their sizes but I guess the Intel one is the main graphic card.

Is there anyway I can correct this? Even Skyrim lagged for me. Please help me.

Thank you :)

Write and test a function that is passed an array of n integers and returns a pointer to the array cell that has the maximum value among the n integers. The function must use the travelling pointer notation to traverse the array. The function has the following prototype.

int* maximum ( int *p , int n)

//code start

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int* maximum ( int *p , int n){

*p = 0;

int a[10];

for(int i = 0;i<n;i++){

if (a[i]>=*p){

*p = a[i];

}

*p++;

return p;

}

}

void main ()

{

int a[10] = {10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90};

int*p = a;

cout<<"The maximum pointer is "<<maximum(p,10)<<endl;

}

//code end.

It outputs the address. Is this correct? Please correct me if I'm wrong. Thank you :)

The question is :-

2. Write and test a function that searches for an integer s in an array of n elements. If s is found to match an element in the array, the function returns the address of that element; otherwise it returns NULL. The function must use the pointer-offset notation to traverse the array. The function has the following prototype.

int* search ( int *p , int s, int n)

//code start

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

int* search ( int *p , int s, int n){

int a[10];

p = &a[10];

for(int i = 0;i<n;i++){

if(*(p+i)==s)

{

return &*(p+i);

break;

}

else {

return 0;

}

}

}

void main () {

int a[10] = {10,20,30,40,50,60,70,80,90};

int *p = a;

int s = 40;

cout<<"The address of the cell is "<<search(p,40,10)<<endl;

}

//code end

The output I get for the address is 00000000, please tell me what's my error :/

Thank you :)

The question is

Write a function that takes three pointers (a, b, c) in as parameters and rotates the values stored so that value pointed at by a goes to b, b to c and c to a. (define the function parameters a, b and c as pointers). Write a main program that tests such a function.

My code

//code start

#include<iostream>

using namespace std;

void swap (int*a,int*b,int*c){

int temp = *a;

*a = *b;

*b = *c;

*c = temp;

}

void main () {

int x = 10,y = 20, z = 30;

cout<<"Before testing function "<<endl;

cout<<x<<endl;

cout<<y<<endl;

cout<<z<<endl;

swap (&x,&y,&z);

cout<<"After testing function "<<endl;

cout<<x<<endl;

cout<<y<<endl;

cout<<z<<endl;

}

//code end

My code is working properly, but is this how I was supposed to do it?

Thank you :)

Here's the question

6. Write the C++ function

void zero (int x[ ] [N], int zerroArray [ ], int rows, int cols)

that accepts the 2D integer array (matrix) x of size rows and cols, and returns, as the one dimensional array zerroArray [ ], the number of zero elements present in each row of the matrix x. You can declare the number of columns N, such as, const int N=3; at the beginning of the file (before main () ), and this way N will be treated as a const “global” variable for both main() and the function zeroArray( ).

Write a main program to test the working of your function using the following 2D array:

int p[N][N] = { {3,6,0}, {3,4,9}, {0,0,0}}. The output should be

zerroArray[0] = 1

zerroArray[1] = 0

zerroArray[2] = 3

Here's my code

//code start

#include <iostream>;

using namespace std;

void zero (int x[ ] [3], int zeroArray [ ], int rows, int cols){

for(int i = 0; i < rows; i++){

for(int j=0; j < cols; j++){

if (x[i][j] = 0){

zeroArray[i]++;

}

}

}

}

void main () {

int p[3][3] = {{3,6,0}, {3,4,9}, {0,0,0}};

int a [3];

zero (p,a,3,3);

for (int i = 0;i<3;i++){

cout<<"zeroArray["<<i<<"] = "<<a<<endl;

}

}

//Code end

In the out some huge negative numbers with alphabets pops up instead of the number of zeroes. Please tell me what am I doing wrong?

Hey guys I have been trying to do this question but can't get to print the array out. Here's the question

Write a function appendArray ( ) that takes 3 arrays a, b and c. a and b are 5 integers each, and c is 10 integers long. The function should copy the elements of a and put them into c then append the elements of b to the end of the first 5 integers of c. Write an application program to test appendArray ( ).

And this my coding so far

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int appendArray (int a[],int b[], int c[], int size) {

int sum = 0;

for (int i = 0;i<size;i++){

a[i] = c[i];

b[i] = c[i+5];

return c[i];

}

}

void main () {

int a [5] = {1,2,3,4,5};

int b [5] = {6,7,8,9,10};

int c [10];

cout<<appendArray(a,b,c,5)<<endl;

}

The should be done only by using functions and no pointers or strings as we haven't covered those topics yet. Thank you for your help :)

Write a C++ program to calculate the sum of the following series up to n terms using while-loop. Program must ask the user to enter the value of n, such that n > 0. If entered value does not match the required criteria, the program MUST REPROMPT the user enter a valid value.

Finally compute and print the sum of the series that is calculated up to n terms:

S=1- (1/2)^2+(1/3)^2- (1/4)^2 +(…(1/n)^2

It should be windows console application and should be written using a "while" loop. Thank you.

I shot the dog....

A woman pregnant with triplets is walking down the street when a

masked robber runs out the bank and shoots her three times in the stomach. Luckily the babies are okay. The surgeon decides to leave the bullets in because it's too risky to operate.

All is fine for 16 years, and then one daughter walks into the room in tears. "What's wrong?" asks the mother.

"I was having a pee and this bullet came out" replies the daughter. The mother tells her it's okay and explains what happened 16 years ago. About a week later the second daughter walks in to the room in tears.

"Mom, I was having a pee and this bullet came out". Again the mother tells her not to worry and explains what happened 16 years ago. A week later the boy walks into the room in tears.

"It's okay" says the mom, "I know what happened, you were having a pee and a bullet came out."

"No," says the boy, "I was jerking off and I shot the dog."

Poor daddy

One day a little boy woke up and sat down at the table expecting breakfast. However, his mother says, "You don't get any breakfast until you do your chores."

A little pissed off, the boy goes out to do his chores. When he goes to milk the cow, he kicks it. When he goes to get eggs he kicks a chicken, and when he goes to feed the pigs, he kicks a pig.

When the little boy sits down his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal. "Where is the bacon, eggs and milk?" asks the little boy. His mother replies, "I saw you kick the cow, so you don't get any milk; I saw you kick a chicken so you don't get eggs; and I saw you kick a pig so you don't get any bacon!"

Just as she finishes saying this, the boy's father comes down the stairs and kicks the cat. The little boy looks up at his mother and asks, "Do you want to tell him, or should I?"

Midnight Snack

A colleague approached this man at lunch that invited him out for a few beers after work. The man said that his wife would never go for it, and that she does not allow him to go drinking with the guys after work.

The colleague suggested a way to overcome that problem: "When you get home tonight, sneak into the house, slide down under the sheets, gently pull down your wife's panties, and give her oral sex. Women love it, and believe me, she'll never mention that you were out late with the boys."

So the man agreed to try it, and went out and enjoyed himself.

Late that night, he sneaked into the house, slid down under the sheets, gently slid down his wife's panties, and gave her oral sex. She moaned and groaned with pleasure, but after a little while, he realized he had to take a leak, so he told he he'd be right back, got out of bed and walked down the hall to the bathroom.

When he opened the door and went in, he was very surprised to see his wife sitting on the john.

"How did you get in here?" he asked.

"Shhh!" she replied, "you'll wake-up my mother!"

Three mice at the bar

Three mice are sitting at a bar in a rough neighborhood late at night trying to impress each other about how tough they are.

The first mouse downs a shot of Jack Daniel's, slams the glass onto the bar, turns to the second mouse and says, "When I see a mousetrap, I lie on my back and set it off with my foot.

When the bar comes down, I catch it in my teeth, bench press it twenty times to work up an appetite, and then make off with the cheese."

The second mouse orders up two shots of Bombay Sapphire, downs them both, slams each glass into the bar.

Turns to the first mouse, and replies: "Yeah, well when I see rat poison, I collect as much as I can, take it home, grind it up to a powder, and add it to my coffee each morning so I can get a good buzz going for the rest of the day.

"The first mouse and the second mouse then turn to the third mouse.

The third mouse lets out a long sigh and says to the first two, "I don't have time for this bullshit. I got to go home and **** the cat."

ATM...

One day, three friends went to this "Gentlemen's Club." One of the friends wanted to impress the other two, so he pulls out a $10 bill. The "dancer" came over to them, and the one friend licked the $10 and put it on her butt.

Not to be outdone, the other friend pulls out a $50 bill. He calls the girl back over, licks the $50, and puts it on her other cheek.

Now the attention is focused on the third guy. He got out his wallet, thought for a minute... then got out his ATM card, swiped it down her crack, grabbed the 60 bucks, and headed for the door.

Hey guys I downloaded Skyrim and everything installed fine but the only problem is that it lags like hell. I tried everything, got new updates, changed things in the ".ini" file and what not! The only things that improved were that the load screen and the pause menu had a fps of 60 but the game has an fps of 8 - 10 only. I tried playing it on low, medium and high settings and it's the same everytime! What do I do :( ?? Oh and I have a Nvidia GT 540M 2 gb graphics and 6gb of ram and i7 2.9ghz turbo boost.

Hey there guys! My birthday's coming up and my dad has agreed to buy me a cellphone. I am currently thinking to buy a Galaxy SII since I hate blackberries and am not a big fan of the iPhone. I currently own a Nokia 5530 XpressMusic which is barely alive since it's 2 years old now. I know that there are great phones lined up for 2012 but I don't know when will they be released to the consumers in the ME.

Could you guys please suggest me on whether I should wait for a couple of months more or go for the SII? Or, any other model which you find better than the SII :) Please keep in mind that I'm somewhat of a geek and would like phones which can multi - task, have loads of apps and has a good camera. Also, a good look!

Thank you :)

Hey there guys! I just got myself a Dell XPS 15 L502X.The upgrade of the it's predecessor.I used to own a shitty Acer Aspire 5670,which didn't allow me to game much.So now,after I got this the second day I installed Assassin's Creed 2 on it and whenever I play the fan's speed increases.I know it's due to more load on the processor and it has to keep it cool.I play for like 6 hours daily and today's day 4.Should I be worried about anything like the fan will spoil fast or something like that?

Hey there guys! I am living in the Middle East,err United Arab Emirates to be exact! I have been searching for the past hour on google to build my own laptop and I couldn't find the link.Instead they took me to build a printer or a monitor.So could you please post that link in your answer :)?

Also do they ship those laptops to the middle east? Thanks a lot guys :)

Hey there guys!! I live in the UAE and they ban most of the games by Rockstar like GTA IV and I guess even L.A.Noire is gonna be banned.So my question is that can I get those games off of games marketplace on XBL? or will they be banned online too? Cuz when I signed up for a live account I chose my location as US! So are the games gonna be blocked?

My other question is that each new game costs over here like 269 AED.That's like 69$,so is it better if I buy them from here? Or does xbox live sell those at cheaper prices?

Hey guys! I have recently started working out as school got over and there's nothing more productive to do.My problem is that I can't lift more weight.At first I started with only the bar,now I add around 2.5Kg each side that's 5Kg in total but I get exhausted and it's like my arms can't go.At times I can't even take the bar and it's embarrassing.I am 17 and hardly built but not too skinny also.I weigh around 70Kg and my height is 5.11".

My friend on the other hand who joined along with me weighs around 60 and lifts about 15 in total or somtimes even 20.He was the captain of the soccer team,so I guess he's fit.

I don't take any external meds,just food and I don't follow any specific pattern,when I feel hungry I eat.Sometimes junk,sometimes healthy.So please help me out here :).Thanks a lot :)

Hey guys,if you have a 360 or had one the slim one,did it get a RROD? Is it still common for 360s to get RROD?

Hey guys,what's happening :D?

Okay,so getting to the point,I wanna know how to silently open and close my front door's lock when my mom's sleeping so I can sneak out and sneak back in.The lock's kinda weird like as soon as the key complete's one rotation,it snaps back making a sound no matter how slowly I do it and same thing happens when locking it back.

Should I try putting oil for smoother friction to take place or keep a hard paper while locking it back so as to reduce the noise!!?

Please help me out guys :) Fun lies on the other end of that door for me!

Thanks :)
