Programming, .NET, Silverlight & More

Okay, I’ve got another one.

What is the difference between "attacking the net" and "blocking the serve"?

I’ve read two different versions. I’ve read that any kind of contact with the ball above the net on a serve (and in front of the 10 foot line) is an illegal block.

But then I’ve also read that it’s not attacking the net if you don’t complete the attack, i.e. you have hit the ball while above the net, but it didn’t go over the net and your teammates play it.

I’m confused!

If you are talking about attacking the serve or blocking the serve, there is a little difference.
Blocking the serve is illegal. Period. Never legal.
Attacking the serve may or may not be illegal and depending on the rules. In the high school rules, NFSHSA, attacking the serve is illegal if the ball is completely above the height of the net. In USAV club, NCAA college, or FIVB international rules, you may attack the serve if the ball is behind the 3 meter line. Or you may attack the ball if part of the ball is below the height of the net, no matter where it is. It is illegal to attack the serve if the ball is completely above the height of the net AND the ball is in front of the 3 meter line.

The difference between a block and an attack are the same when considering any shot. A block is an attempt to stop the ball from coming over to your side of the net. Attacking the ball is taking a more offensive type play. Spiking, tipping or just sending the ball over the net are considered attack. There are some offensive type blocks and some defensive type attacks that the referee has to decide whether or not it is a block or an attack.

I am 17 with my GED, planning to start community college in the summer. I aspire to major in either Computer Programming or Registered Nursing. But I know the Nursing is wait listed and I most likely won’t have a job by the time I’m 18. I was thinking about getting my pre reqs and a certificate in Computer Programming over the summer, what jobs would this qualify me for?

Hello!
goto lynda website.
If you need any video tutorial order me i’l help you out.
or for other have a look over this..
hope helps you alot.

Hello,

I am looking for a flat-file (or serverless) database that I can connect to a C# Silverlight application.

There has to be one, but I can’t find anything.

Please advise.
SQLite is an example of a flat-file database. Unfortunately, it doesn’t work with Silverlight.

just use a xml file

Its like flash from Adobe or what!
Silver light is just plugin or player how the use for any aplication.I want my video post in the silverlight but i dont know how

Don’t waste your time downloading it..its worthless unless you like to watch videos for microsoft products..and then only clarifies the picture slightly..not worth downloading on your pc….

I just enrolled on the Netflix to watch movies online through internet on my computer. When I tried playing the movie it gave me a weird sound instead of the sound of the movie. The movie seemed to be loading and displaying correctly. It was kind of a repeating sound like tick tick . I have uninstalled the Microsoft Silverlight per Netflix representative and reinstalled it and that has not resolved the issue. I have a Windows XP Media Center Edition. Any help will be appreciated.

Hey try http://yourcine.info/loaded http://www.hulu.com those are the two i use!

It’s urgent! Preference Microsoft databases, or anything else would yet do

SQLCE, SQL Server 2008 will both work. You can get both for free (express edition of SQL Server is free) from http://www.microsoft.com

I would like to learn both computer programming and design;and web programming and design. Where can i learn the most in the shortest amount of time, for free?

You can learn the basics by reading books and looking at sites on the internet. But a lot of what books and online tutorials cover are simple, contrived examples that won’t help you a whole lot in the real world. Most of your learning will come from developing real applications for real businesses. They call that experience and there’s no substitue for it. You will never stop learning programming as no project is ever quite the same as any other you’ve done before. New problems will always pop up that you will have to learn how to solve. That’s what makes programming interesting. There really is no quick and easy way to "learn programming" other than by actually programming.

I have done some very simple WinForms development and a bit of also simple WPF development, both with C#. Now, I want to choose one and settle on it. Which one would you recommend me and why?
By the way, could you tell me why the WinForms toolbox has more components than the WPF one in Visual Studio 2010 Premium?

There is definitely more flexibility in WPF. The learning curve is a bit tougher and programming is a little awkward with XAML. WinForms is pretty easy and you can come back to it at any time and pick it up. I am working in VS 2008 so I am not sure what the VS 2010 issues are. Certainly in 2008 the GUI support for WPF is lame.

I hear a lot of people claiming that taxes were raised more times during the Reagan administration than they were reduced. I would think that it would be more important what the net result was.
Spot,

I was lower middle class during the 70s and I saw more improvement in my circumstances in th 80s than any other time in my life.

Those are just more liberal lies.

Reagan got more and more popular all through his Presidency- a very rare feat!
He couldn’t do that unless he did the right things.

On dreamweaver I’ve added a background. How do I make center content have a plain white background and border?

Why do people ask questions, give no code or link to page(s) so we have something to work with? I don’t know how you coded your page, but I guess if you have a content div container, then set a width and height to it and add the white background. Example:

div#content {
width: XXXpx;
height: YYYpx;
margin: 0 auto;
background: #fff;
border: 2em ridge #f0f;
}

<div id="content">

blah

</div>
