he can't answer right now, all his fingers have been reduced to bloody stumps by all the typing he's done over the last 3 years and he's still only 20% done with his 6000 page work :)

think before you code... how'd you do it if you were given the numbers, a pencil, and a piece of paper? Would you just try random combinations and see if they yield the desired result? Of course not. You'd use logic. For example you'd determine which were the two largest …

define "best"...

[QUOTE=joshSCH;374613]But I don't see how some of those questions relate to psychopaths..[/QUOTE] psychopaths typically don't...

Where is your jarfile and where are you trying to do that? And what's your classpath?

the day Alexa disappears with their spyware, malware, and other nasties is a day of joy for the entire internet.

Easy. But not the way you think it's done. You can not mix text and binary output in a single http stream, it has to be 2 requests. The JSP displays the text, includes a link to a servlet that serves the image. Of course the JSP doesn't do anything …

Do NOT try to implement encryption algorithms yourself. You'll fail and your encryption will be dead easy to break by every script kiddie out there. You simply don't know enough to replicate or improve on the work of the generations of specialists who've done the actual work. If you did …

No doubt the previous owner was convinced that "Microsoft is evil" and therefore refused to install any Windows updates and couldn't find pirated AV software (or more likely his pirated games refused to install with his pirated AV software active so he deleted it). Have a few acquaintences like that. …

Not knowing what AV product you're using, I'd trust their software more than the "support" department of some piece of software I don't know. While virus scanners are known to sometimes produce false positives, they do so less often than criminals setting up companies in order to distribute malware that …

Do NOT use VB6. It's dead, no longer supported, nobody uses it except idiot schoolkids who think using a 20 year old product is "kewl". Use something that actually has market value, something like C#. As to your excuse for some code, I'd not be surprised at all if "enddoc" …

1. Learn decent English 2. Use that knowledge to learn Java 3. Use that knowledge to learn about the Java XML parsing APIs this is all quite fundamental. You don't even need to learn libraries external to the core API as everything you need is contained within the core API.

whether you can decipher the information in a pdf in any way depends on how the pdf was created. One can create pdf files as documents with paragraphs and tables of text, in which case it is possible (with the right libraries or a lot of work to write them) …

sure it should be possible to figure that out. Most if not all encryption techniques leave recognisable signatures in the content they encrypt. If you can manage to write some code that detects those patterns, you can figure out what encryption was used. Now, in order to find out those …

gcj is a linux only tool that isn't Java at all. it recognises only a very small subset of the Java language and core APIs. Never use it, it's garbage. And there's never a need to even try to turn Java class files into native executables, as there are JVMs …

And you're going to need a lot of additional classes and enumerations. Things like blood types, resus types, health history??, employees of both the blood bank and hospital (no doubt you need to track who handles the donation, storage, retrieval, etc. etc.), storage containers (multiple freezers?), etc. etc. etc. And …

Best create a separate handler class per button (unless the buttons have very similar functionality). As to the counting, traditional mechanism would use a HashMap<String, Integer>

learn about JDBC, or better yet JPA. And do split your code into multiple classes, makes things so much easier to maintain and debug. Also, keep class fields and methods separate, fields at the top, then constructors, then methods. Organised code is a lot easier to read.

or, much better, ask the people maintaining those sites if they have something like an RSS feed you can get access to and get the data right there in text, uncluttered by tons of advertising, javascript, menus, headers, etc. etc., and of course with their full blessing and no risk …

AFAIK all such services require you install some software for the purpose. Which is no surprise really. What you'd need is a VPS somewhere with ssh access. You wouldn't need a lot of CPU power, but more than the basic level of storage and maybe bandwidth too.

sudo root is wrong. sudo allows you to enter a command with root privileges. To become root you issue the command su. Of course for that you need to know the root password... And on ubuntu at least the root account is disbabled by default, needs to be enabled before …

and oh, 8.1 was released a few days ago :) https://netbeans.org/downloads/ select either the "Java EE" or "All" version.

your teacher should be the one to ask. While we can guess what he meant, we can't of course know for sure.

There is no 'official linux'. Rather, as you've found out, there are hundreds of different variations, each of which is linux. Which of the platitude of options you choose would depend in large part on what you're going to want to use it for.

Pretty much what I see in my mailbox, though I rarely if ever see malware. I do see a LOT of fake "job offers" and phishing scams for bank account data, the former especially has gone up from a few percent to almost a quarter of all spam I get, …

ok, that's not Java code. It's not even close to being Java code. Here's something to get you started though, you'll have to think of how to get it to match your requirements but it at least works. import java.io.File; import java.util.HashMap; import java.util.Map; import java.util.Scanner; public class Test3 { …

in my experience, most often this problem has nothing to do with videocards, RAM, CPU, etc. but is just a matter of a cable that's improperly connected :) Loose cables, always check them first...

netbeans doesn't need plugins for web development, it's all built in...

my hourly rate is $150 with a minimum of 40 hours, payable in advance. After payment I'll get on it ASAP.

and realise that there are more things out there than php and mysql, things that often are a far better option. Things like JSF/JEE and Oracle.

any browser worth its name will throw a hissy fit if you have a page where some components are secured and others are not, which is inevitable if you decide to secure only some pages and not others (unless you plan to also keep copies of all your stylesheets, javascript, …

What you have there looks like a perfect candidate for a GridLayout for the rows of keys, with each row being a FlowLayout.

what traffic? what control? What scope? A complete traffic management system for any real life scenario is a massively complex piece of software and hardware that requires dozens of people to build over a period of months or years and a similarly large team of full time experts in their …

I've upgraded 4 computers to Windows 10, 2 each from Win7 and Win8.1, no problems with any of them. The files on that disk aren't lost, they're still there. But if they are programs any registry entries they need to run may be lost, especially if you upgraded to a …

Windows 10 is fine. Use it on 5 PCs and my phone. Edge could use some more functionality, true, but it's extremely fast and light weight, making it very good for just browsing especially on resource starved systems where firefox or chrome are just too heavy, take up too much …

Swing is built on top of AWT, not all AWT classes are overridden. In fact it's impossible to use Swing without using AWT as Swing relies on a lot of AWT classes under the hood. For example a Swing javax.swing.JComponent IS a java.awt.Component

and what do you know about private? Private members can ONLY be accessed from within the class they're defined in. You're trying to access them from another class. Either redefine them as protected OR use the getter and setter methods to access them. Which of the two is the prefered …

clicking together a website using a tool like that is not web development, it's clicking a website together...

follow the installation instructions. it's dead easy. http://developer.android.com/sdk/installing/index.html?pkg=studio You MAY have to install an Oracle JDK first, set the global JAVA_HOME environment variable to point to it, add $JAVA_HOME/bin to your global PATH. I assume you know how to do that in Linux.

there are places called "libraries" where they have many books to read. There are also places called "bookstores" where you can buy books to read. I suggest you visit some of them...

check your logs, they'll give you hints at what's wrong.

And any decent one will tell you to not bother unless you have to. Rely on an external authentication system instead. Be if facebook, twitter, google, OpenID, etc. etc. or an existing SSO engine running within your existing environment. All are almost certainly more secure than anything you can come …

I wonder if OP even understands what "the cloud" is, or what a "cloud OS" is.

never needed HP support myself, but heard many horror stories about them (unless you're a big corporate account, in which case you pay a lot of money for premium support and that's good). Their computers tend to be somewhat lower quality than Dell (though remember that both brands have a …

why would you want to? It's called implicitly as is...

and do upgrade to the latest release from Oracle. 1.8.0_60 as of writing. 1.7.0_79 is the last 1.7 release, mostly security fixes and some minor stuff.
