    include exe within exe

    in Applications & Coding

    Posted

    I am quite sure he is not trying to package the file. I think he wants to run a .exe from within a .exe.. You can't "Include" a .exe binary in a source file. The reason? Because it is not the original source it has been compiled, boiled down. You would need the source. Correct me if I am wrong but you would either have to decompile it or use its original source in compilation..

    If you want to run a .exe from within a .exe with C++ :

    system("my.exe");

    You could open the program in notepad, then copy the program into c#, and put it in an array. Then write the array back out using a file stream.

    I shall prove with a program...

    finding Pi with C++

    in Applications & Coding

    Posted

    Trying to decipher this. Do you mean you wish to know the forumla for Pi?  ... C/D       Circumference over diameter. You could just find a predefined circle circumference and diameter but hey :D

    Yes but to do that I would need 2 constants pulled out of my ass. What I am trying to trying to figure out how to figure out what Pi is.

    Over the weekend my dad helped me do this (and while doing it decided to rewrite all my code). It now gives out the numbers every 100000 points. It now evens out to about  3.141522, I think this is due to the to the fact that rand() is not that random or some how the numbers are wrong.

    // I will foo your bar

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
#include <cmath>
#include <time.h>
#include <stdio.h>

#define range   32768

int main ()
{
    double count = 0;
    double inside = 0;
    int q=0;
    
    srand ( time(NULL) );
    cout << "Starting. n";
    while(1) 
    {
        int x = rand() % range;
        int y = rand() % range;
        inside += (x*x + y*y < (range-1)*(range-1));
        count++;
        q++;
        if(q>=100000)
        {
            printf("inside=%.0f count=%.0f ratio=%18.16fn",inside, count,inside*4/count);
            q=0;
        }
    } 

    return 0;
}

    There seems to be a problem, because the first few numbers of pi are:

    3.141592654

    Windows all day, every day, although I did have Ubuntu for almost a year, running 7.04.

    I would consider my self a gray hat hacker, in the old meaning:

    An exceptionally skilled person who works and messes with computers.

    RSS feed wallpaper?

    Well, I guess we could have a hack to re-enable active desktop, even on machines that never had it to begin with.

    Once that is done, just create a good HTML page and embed the rss feed there.

    For the ads, just figure out how the ads work, then truncate the results.

    would this help at all?

    If they are doing the 'monitoring' correctly they would blacklist TOR node IP addresses. The main reason to monitor Internet usage is to spot where computers have been infected, and stopping TOR seals off another line of malware communication.

    Well that stinks, but couldn't you just find a smaller onion routing system and use that?

    Is it possible to do the same with the stricter rights management on a linux based system? According to my console, I need to be root in order to shutdown the system and providing the root passwort is not the best idea.

    using root, change the permissions for your account to be able to run the halt command.

    somewhat urgent help needed (credit on the line)

    First of all, your data is safe, you just need to use a liveCD or mount the drive on another machine and recover it. This is the easy bit.

    Once you have pulled the data off to another machine or disk, you can look at the OS. The fastest way would be to just reinstall the thing, but you can also try repair installs, copying the missing files  back etc Personally I would be inclined to reinstall it at this stage, you have to decide if speed or finese is more important here.

    VaKo is right, but the iTunes music is DRM protected, and will not run without that machine.
