The Strings will all take up memory as they'll be stored in the String constant pool. The next time an identical String is used it will be pulled from the pool instead. This assumes you do NOT use the constructors for String explicitly as that prevents the pool from being …

You are only allowed to use the OEM software on the same computer you install those parts in. Of course there's no way to check that happening, but that's the license.

manual removal instructions for Norton tools: open a command prompt type format c: confirm you really want to do this

I miss some options: 3) neither 4) both 5) among others At current I use Windows, Linux, and AIX almost every day and occasionally SCO. In the past I've used Solaris, HP Ux, OS/6000, Guardian, OS/2, and others. Seems you just want to start another OS war... Use what best …

[quote]3) Use a dynamic data structure such as a linked list and read all of the records into it.[/quote] Which can lead to memory starvation if the amount of data is very large. So be careful using this technique.

A search for "rnapp6" gave 2 results, neither of which were conclusive (to say the least): [quote] 217.

I use this really nice paper thingy and a nice wooden and carbon thingy to keep my appointments. I think it's called an agenda and a pencil :)

Start by installing XP2 (after making sure you're free of all the nasties installing that one would have prevented you from getting). Unless you yourself installed a pretty hefty background process it could well be some malware (though it might just be a runaway normal process, but then it would …

Bad clusters are hardware errors, there's no cure. Sometimes a lowlevel format can fix them but that requires special equipment with modern harddisks and is best left to the manufacturer.

Compile the class you just created and JBuilder will see it. Sometimes it's not quite smart enough to see classes it created itself unless they're compiled. As to packages: no, classes don't need to be all in the same package. And a good thing too as otherwise you'd never be …

The entire rep thing is pretty useless. I've yet to see a site where it doesn't lead to strive and popularity contests to get the highest rep.

Try to open a ServerSocket on the port. If you can, the port was available and you immediately close the socket again. If you cannot, you get an exception (or an errorcode, check the API docs for ServerSocket) and you know the port is in use already.

Yesterday evening Windows Update crashed telling me 2 updates had failed to install. After rebooting IE no longer seems to support Javascript or any plugins (Flash, Java, etc. all fail), HTML Help no longer works, popups don't pop up (that's often nice), etc. Is there any solution to this except …

[QUOTE=Patate]The thing is that if software wasn't that expensive, people wouldn't have to copy them. So in a way it's kind of their fault. Not everyone can afford to pay a few hundred bucks for Windows for EACH computer they have. But companys mainly make their money of other companys …

If it sounds too good to be true... This site reads like so many scams and pyramid schemes, don't fall for it.

There's old DOS mouse libraries. Maybe they still work. But of course if you have a console application you implicitly never have mouse support. If you have mouse support you have a textmode fullscreen application or a full graphical user interface. If you work in DOS mouse support is easy …

If it can't find core packages there's something seriously wrong with your installation.

Pretty much any medication when used incorrectly can cause serious problems. People have died from vitamin C for example, thought the dose needed there is so extreme only terminal health nuts would ever be at risk :)

They probably need it only for a short while until they reprogram the car to accept their own fingerprint. And I'd expect these systems to be able to be programmed to accept a range of prints as valid, so telling it that your wife is allowed to drive it (OK, …

I've removed the side panels for easy access. I don't see the point in doing anything else because the machine is tucked away under my desk anyway where I don't see it. Besides, I like the way normal machines look :)

Check out JavaMail. It's a complete email API for Java, can work with just about any protocol (SMTP and POP3 are built in, MAPI and IMAP too I think).

Several were mine. Tested it at work but the JS and CSS compliance meant our application doesn't work. Now temporarilly using it at home because IE is corrupted by a failed installation of a .NET update while I'm waiting for my XP disk to be delivered (which should be next …

I'm in several beta programs (including the software I write for a job of course). Beta testing is not just having access to cool new software, it's serious (and often incredibly boring and frustrating) work. Microsoft wants only people they know they can trust to keep their mouths shut and …

You mean a request or session attribute? It's easy. [code] <c:if test="${not empty someVar}"> <%-- do what you need to do when the attribute is there --%> </c:if> [/code] Actually if it's just to prevent errors when outputting something you don't need to check, JSTL is smart enough to ignore …

There's no generic way. One method that's generally advocated is to open a serversocket on an obscure port on the primary network interface on the first instance that starts. This socket does nothing, it just sits there as a marker. New instances that want to start cannot open a serversocket …

If you can get the firewood admin here to plug a hole in the firewood I'll be happy to install mIRC at work :)

Yes, no, maybe :) Usually not directly. But through JNI you can do almost anything if you can create (or have access to) a JNI stub to a library in a native language.

don't use Vector, it's a legacy class that should have been deprecated years ago.

Neither JEdit nor JCreator are development kits :) J2SDK 1.4.x are indeed probably the most widely used today, but I'd advise anyone taking up Java to start learning the 1.5 (5.0) from the outset as it is the future and by the time you're up to speed it will likely …

You can create instances of a static inner class, but not of an abstract class. When you have a static inner class the Class instance for the inner class is static, but that has nothing to do with any instances of the inner class itself. Consider an inner class to …

If you get that message you have to contact Microsoft support to get it reactivated. This may require you send them proof of purchase. Give them a call.

?????? You can't open something on the client from the server. You can send a piece of html (when asked of course) that contains a piece of javascript that in turn requests another piece of html.

Noone wondered why a statement about VB was posted in a forum for questions about Java?

no, each CD contains the operating system in just one language (which means that in some countries like Canada and Belgium there'll be several language versions on sale). Even the versions in the MSDN subscription are not multilingual, if you get the entire thing you'll get several dozen installation CDs. …

I have an idea the entire mother is not there. The MOTHER is the admin, but the OP (who is apparently not the mother) wants to get into the account. Makes me think the OP is a brother or sister to the account which (s)he wants to gain access too, …

we're not here to help you learn skills that are mostly useful for computer criminals.

There is no question except your question for us to write your research paper for you. Better luck next time kiddo, you've been found out. How I know you're a kiddo: your use of extremely childish language constructs and text messaging shorthand gives you away instantly.

Which sorting algorithm is the most efficient depends on what is being sorted and how random (compared to the sorted state) the initial data is.

I've never liked them, which may be caused by the fact that I've only ever seen right handed ones and I'm totally left handed. I've trouble even finding a GOOD mouse as all the quality models are sculpted for right handed use only :mad: :evil:

All exam fees paid to state operated schools go to the state. Same with (part of) exam fees for state run exams. Nothing wrong with that, it costs them money to organise and run the exam after all... Most likely they LOOSE money on it and the exam fees don't …

correct. Terminal server has existed for a decade or so at least.

Visual studio doesn't mess up your system (though maybe some pirated versions may, but that's justice :) ). It does of course allow you to write programs that do mess up your system, that's the power of C :) Of course if you have old programs that require a very …

Your component can fire for example a PropertyChangedEvent and your other class register itself with the component as a PropertyChangeListener (or whatever it's called). Needs a bit of code, but I'm sure most decent books and the Java tutorial have ample examples.

It does, to some extend. There aren't JVMs available for all hardware architectures and operating systems, and there are some differences in the scope of the available JVMs that do exist.

I'm not into writing things in a day, most projects take a long time and are for a definite need. But then I do most writing for a living so the company decides what needs be done :)

try to join the main program thread on the thread running the upload window. That will block that window (but remember it's messy, the main screen won't be repainted either for example).

have you tried specific game development sites like gamedev.net?

bump... I wonder how long until the FF zealots will jump in and deny there's a problem because they haven't seen anything using it...
