I was sent a C program, but didn't get the source code, just a precompiled ELF executable (grmpff). I can't seem to run it on my Linux computer (the program is called "abc"):
-bash: ./abc: cannot execute binary file
Are there commands I could use on the file to extract information about for which processor and operating system it was compiled, what libraries it needs etc., to try to figure out what would be needed for me to be able to run it? — Bromskloss 07:39, 23 August 2007 (UTC)

My question is regarding using VBA in MS Excel. I have an Excel sheet which has data in 3 columns A, B & C. Column A has some names, Column B has data (date of birth) in Date format & Column C has the age in number format. The data in the sheet is like:
Column A | Column B | Column C | |
---|---|---|---|
Name | DOB | Age | ROW1 |
ABC | 21-Aug-01 | 6 | ROW2 |
XYZ | 11-Jun-03 | 4 | ROW3 |
RST | 15-Dec-06 | 1 | ROW4 |
This sheet has a command button also which has the following coding in it:
Private Sub cmd_butt1_Click()
Dim i As Integer For i = 2 To 6 'iterates through rows MsgBox ("Row ID: " & i & " value: " & Cells(i, 2).Value) 'displays row number and the value in that cell of column 2 i.e; column B. 'Output will be like: "Row ID: 2 value: 21-AUG-01" Next
End Sub
My question is that now if I delete Column A from the sheet and make the following changes in the above code:
MsgBox ("Row ID: " & i & " value: " & Cells(i, 1).Value)
because now after deletion of column A, column B should have the column index as 1.
When I execute the code by clicking the command button cmd_butt1, it displays the following output:
Row ID: 2 value: ABC
i.e; it shows the value of column A which I have deleted already whereas it should now take column B as Column A i.e; rowindex should be 1 and not 2.
Also how can I get the number of rows which are having some data. Like above worksheet has data in only 4 rows.
I'm seeking a public domain Wiki engine that operates in PHP and that I can install on my own server. Do you know of any? Guroadrunner 12:21, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I didn't get a definitive answer the first time, so I'll just ask again. Is there any way to transfer all of the music and videos from an iPod to a new computer? I know there's a method that's described on the Apple web site, but it requires having the old computer. Is there some other way?-- The Ninth Bright Shiner 14:55, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
Is their a such software as Adobe Printshop and if there is where can I buy one (tell me websites and stores, if you would)?

I have a few PHP scripts that I use to create caches or to parse external websites. I tried to set them up to run as cron jobs, but they don't appear to be working. This is a sample of the crontab -l output:
*/15 * * * *,1,2,3,4,5,6 php -f /home/badgmup1/titans.php > /dev/null
* * * * *,1,2,3,4,5,6 php -f /home/badgmup1/players.php > /dev/null
0 * * * * php -f /home/badgmup1/dev_pull.php&dev=0 > /dev/null
The scripts themselves modify a database to do their dirty work - the output is irrelevant. They are all in the crontab of the user that owns the scripts. However, I have discovered that they don't seem to be running - or are failing during execution. Does anything look obviously wrong with any of the syntax? --

which country does this mysterious website belong to? I call mysterious because they do not give their country or address anywhere in their website.
Hi everyone,
I recently rebooted my Dell Inspiron 6000, to be greeted by a giant blue screen saying:
Stop: c {Registry File Failure} The registry cannot load the hive (file): \SystemRoot\System32\Config\SOFTWARE or its log or alternate
Doing some research, I happened upon this suggested, Microsoft Fix. I procured myself a HOME XP cd, booted, and used the recovery console, but the fix told me to copy c:\windows\repair\system , and this directory did not exist. System, software files are stored in the repair folder but they exist as .BAK files.
Now, XP came installed on the laptop, and is, I think an OEM-version. Is there anyway to open up those BAK files and use them? Or is there some workaround for OEM-installed computers?
I would be eternally grateful for your assistance

Can someone recommend me a more reliable hosting service than IF for my forums, I've heard Invision boards are relatively easy to bruteforce. I'd greatly appreciate it to be free. Thanks in advance.
