How I resolved "Unable to access the computer ***. The error was: Invalid syntax" error

If you have recently installed Service Pack 1 in your existing Windows
7 box, chances are you might be getting this doom error. You see, I
can't really tell you why you are getting this error but Microsoft
should.

To keep this straight, I got this error because I installed service
pack 1 on my development system. Yeah service pack is good and I think
it exists to make things better. Just like Zedicus Zuul Zorander said
in the TV series "Legend of the seeker(s)", "The greatest harm comes
from our best intentions". I installed SP1 to improve my system but
instead of improving it, it poked my eye and made me blind for weeks.

Who would have thought that the problem that crippled my Sql server,
denied me administrative privilleges and many more important stuffs
had resulted from the SP1 I installed.
Thank the lord that I love keeping track of my system's health by
viewing event logs and knowing which software installation stabbed my
back and this time, it was sp1 for windows 7 because starting from the
date I installed it the problem started. I removed it without thinking
twice.

I am not saying service pack is bad, may be I would have resolved it
another way had waited a little longer and did more research, but just
like I said earlier, this is my development system and my current
projects depends on sql server so, I couldn't wait any longer.
Thanks for reading.

HOW TO WRITE, COMPILE AND RUN C++ CODE ON LINUX KALI

This article is for hackers who want to develop a c++ program on Kali Linux without having to install any additional software. While some would tell you that you need to install an additional software or a compiler in order to develop a simple program in c++ on Kali Linux, I am going to show you how to develop a c++ program on this distro right out of box. Your Linux Kali comes pre-installed with a c++ compiler called g++ so we are going to write a C++ hello word code and compile it with this compiler. Before we get started, first open up terminal and run to verify if this compiler is installed on you machine: g++ -v if the compiler is pre-installed, you should get the version information of the compiler, otherwise, you should get an error. Now let's jump right in. In your terminal window, type in: nano MyCpp.cpp to create a c++ file and lunch it in nano editor for editing. When nano opens, type in the following c++ code and press Ctrl+x then y and then R...

LOAN MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (My Project Idea)

There are many companies that specializes on giving loan to people; they make their profits by collecting interest on any money they lend out, and before a loan can be given to any customer, the customer must provide a collateral and some details such as:  contact details and a reference/guarantor. When the loan is finally given to the customer, they charge interest based on the the amount given to the customer for a given period of time which could be daily, weekly, monthly or yearly.  For example, a company could be collecting interest based on a particular amount for a given period of time like: $200,000 loan would have an interest tag of $2,000  per month until the money is returned, and $100,000 would have an interest of $1,000 per month until the money is returned.  In  addition, the customers need to know when the time for them to pay their interest comes e.g.  at the end of the month or the timing model with which the calculation is being made.

How to execute eject command on an ATM Machine using CoreXfs lib on .NET

 In this tutorial, I'm going to demonstrate how to run an eject command on an ATM using CoreXfs, a library I developed.  You can download the library from  here  and follow up with tutorial. First we need to add reference to the downloaded dll. Screen One Once the reference to the dll has been added, you can proceed to coding the application. What I did in the screen below is very simple, I opened the device on the atm using it's logical name so that I can pass in commands. Screen Two So, that's it. thanks for dropping by. You can watch the video below to see how I coded it. Note that this code can only run on an ATM machine. NCR, WINCOR, DIEBOLD, HYOSUNG
