    Looking for piano simulator software, does anyone know of any?

    New Sibelius is out soon... But Sibelius isnt terribly useful if you dont have a midi setup and a keyboard to record with, because it just takes tooo long to type everything out...

    My Binary Search Algo-ma-rithm

    Go back and read the situation that I posted in the above post about the SPECIFIC case where this would occur! Remember with a binary search (for a list of 1000 items), it will take a maximum of 9 (or is it 10) splits of the list to find ANY value, no matter where it is in the list. But in the...

    Does anyone know of a program I can download for free to design a web page?

    One of the best free web design programs you can download in only a few megs is called First Page 2000, its basically exactly the same as what Allaire Homesite used to be. Get it from here: http://www.evrsoft.com/ They have a new version coming soon too...

    My Binary Search Algo-ma-rithm

    1) Begin BinarySearch ( MyArray, Value ) 2) Set lowValue to 1st index of MyArray; 3) Set topValue to last index of MyArray; 4) for ( index = 1 to topValue ) DO 5) midValue = ( lowValue + topValue ) / 2; 6) Select case MyArray ( midValue ) 7) case: = Value...

    Discrepancies with Excel HSC practice exam answers.

    Technically, is it still called a 'pass' in a searching algorithm? Shouldnt a search algorithm be 1 pass in the worst case still? (As all this would do would be to linear search, where one pass of the list is rqd?) Whats the definition of a 'pass'?

    weird HSC questions

    Its a bullshit question. Forget about it... (Hopefully it wont come up again...) I would say that all the answers are bullshit, because no program can process 'any' image type, so in A the salesperson is lying... B is just stupid... C takes away responsibility from the sales company, placing...

    Discrepancies with Excel HSC practice exam answers.

    Well - this is a supermarket 'chain'... So you could phase it into one retailer, and only cause disruption to that 'one' retailer (but this in reality is a 'pilot' situation then...) Having worked in a supermarket, I wouldnt want to scan every item twice, so parallel is definitely out... I...

    String processing in Exam

    If it does come up, I reckon its most likely to come up as a multi-choice question, just because they really dont define any Pseudocode methods in the syllabus for your usual string manipulations.

    My Binary Search Algo-ma-rithm

    Firstly, your algorithm wont work for lists with even numbers of items. I don't like your logic with an index that increments as the first loop. Simply using something like a Do While Not Done (Obviously not Pseudocode) and then waiting for this flag 'Done' to be true will be a better way of...

    time trial software

    Macromedia are idiots... their copy protection is too easy to break... Lucky for me, I have the nice shiny box with the serial number sheet inside though...

    Band 6 answer right or wrong?

    If its from a band 5/6 response, then that doesn't mean that it's all correct... If its an examplar response, then it probably shouldn't be, because they are obviously confused...

    OMGWTFLOL!!1! Found a SDD book by Carole Wilson

    Actually the Excel book for SDD is fairly good too. I havent seen CW's, but the Heinemann one also has some good stuff in it.

    Stack Pointer?

    The only place I can see them asking a question on this stuff would be in multi-choice, as it doesnt really fit in with their 'scenario-based' questions.

    SamD, Mark this. :)

    I'm still looking for your truth table...

    was quanta stuffed or just me??

    Yeah - thats all I did. But you can compare forces: F(G) = GM_1M_2/r^2 & F(E) = KQ_1Q_2/r^2 But that K isnt on the data sheet, and i'm sure it would come out the same as on the graph anyway...

    Syllabus Dot point H/Ware?

    I think any question they ask here will be a practical application of data streams. Basically, not every printer uses the same control characters, so they 'should' give a list of functions, and then the question will say: 'Construct data stream to do this' or 'What does this data stream do'...

    White Box and Black Box testing

    Not too sure how explicit. I think knowing that white box is where you know what is going on inside, and black box is where you are only testing inputs and outputs should be enough. I think alpha/beta testing is a little more important maybe.

    For next loop ?

    Elegance... Do it elegantly and they will be happy, and you will get 'marker is happy' marks (hehe) (i wish)
