Need help with Samsung SGH-X500

lohmk — Sun, 31 Dec 2006 11:22:08 +0800

Hi all,

I've just bought a Samsung SGH-X500 phone. But the manual is too simple for specific issues.

I'm trying to change the phone password but it seems that the manual doesn't provide me with the default password. What usually would be the default password?

Also, this phone is an MP3 supported phone. But the package doesn't include a sync cable. I've tried to send MP3 from my Nokia N70 to it but the phone doesn't seems to be able to open the file. It always shows an error message "Error reading file". Any other way to transfer the file properly (without using sync cable) or is it there's a defect on the phone? However, my gf using the same phone has the same problem.

Anybody using Samsung phones out there please advise.
Thanks

I don't know if this was posted before but kinda old anyway.
Funny and not many people heard

When we go to coffee shop and order our drinks, the "waiter/waitress" will yell our drinks in short form.. eg. Kopi O Ais = Or Peng, Kopi + Teh Ais = Cham Peng..

What will happen if Mamak decide to follow this trend..
Kopi + Teh = KoTeh
Milo + Kopi + Teh = My KoTeh
Horlick + Milo + Kopi + Teh = LICK MY KOTEH!!!!!

CorelDRAW 12 under linux

I have planned to make a switch to open source, however there is an issue preventing me to do so.
I am working and my work require CorelDRAW 12!!
Do I have a method to work around this?
Am I destined to stick to Microsoft?

BTW, I'm planning to move over to SUSE Linux 10

C++ problem

These codes are found from a text by Jesse Liberty, which i find it very hard to understand..

CODE

#include <iostream.h>

class Cat
{
public:
Cat() { itsAge = 1; itsWeight = 5; }
~Cat();

int GetAge() const { return itsAge; }
int GetWeight() const { return itsWeight; }
void SetAge(int age) { itsAge = age; }

private:
int itsAge;
int itsWeight;
};

Cat::~Cat()
{
// cout << "Destructor called!\n";
}

int main()
{
Cat * Family = new Cat[10];
int i;
Cat * pCat;

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
pCat = new Cat;
pCat->SetAge(2*i + 1);
Family[i] = *pCat;
delete pCat;
}

for (i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
cout << "Cat #" << i+1 << ": ";
cout << Family[i].GetAge() << endl;
}

delete [] Family;

return 0;
}

The author said that it is necessary to free the pointer after using it, to avoid creating memory leaks. My question is, after deleting Family, how am i gonna access the array on the free store again? Is it a wise move to release the Family pointer? Since then, if its not accessable again why not remove the whole array instead?
