you could try eclipse, with some plug-in if you want a fully featured IDE.

what i do personally, is usually use it notepad++, which provides basic syntax highlighting. in a learning process there is nothing better than actually making use of the references and not relying on auto-complete.

when bestjew refers to a script, i believe he is referring to some "non-human" mechanism, so your program is in fact a script.

ok, first of all you need to post that in code tags so it doesn't break my eyes trying to read.

from what i gather, are you even getting a user input?

what is this supposed to do?

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

very open ended question, and many possible answers. i think you are going to need to provide some information on your design (not just interface) to get solid answers.

if it were me, i would be looking at adding some smarts into the computer player in between each movement of the pong ball. this would involve some kind of prediction of where the ball is heading.

there are many many consideration that need to be taken into account like the behaviour of the computer player, are they limited in slider speed? will it just "teleport" the slider and guess? what restrictions need to be placed on the computer so it is not invincible? etc...

i hope this is the sort of answer you were looking for ...

I am worried when you say "their files", and "all over the world". If you are talking about files/database on some server then I would agree, but if you are talking about files on a client computer, then definitely not.

assuming your urls you type are correct, and assuming you aren't hitting the servers just as they happen to be down (which is highly unlikely), i would point my finger at some firewall.

whether this is implemented in the software or hardware i am not sure, but looking at avast would be my first action. perhaps try disabling it for a test? (if you are paranoid about viruses, just for a few seconds)

from my experience "protective" software is only good for slowing down your pc.

it's ususally the simple "bugs/fixes" that are the hardest to see because they are simply overlooked. good luck with the GUI, unfortunately i haven't dealt with python GUIs before, but i'm sure somebody around here will be able to help.

port 80? perhaps i am a wrong, but why would the browser want to be using port 80?

if it is indeed using port 80, and persisting, i would suspect some other application has the port reserved. hope that helps...

just move the entry/start point of your game into a function, and then at the end of that function (even after) you can give the use the option to "play again".

I get the impression you aren't really trying here, produce some updated code with what you are trying...

maybe then I can give more assisstance.

no, it's definitely not the right way. for a start, the counter should form your loop's condition statement (hint 1). furthermore, even if you were using your counter as part of the condition it would only check the number of allocations you have done, not the actual value allocated (hint 2).

have a think for a while, don't just reply in hope of getting code.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

do you know the concept of a counter variable? perhaps it will help you.

using a single variable x, you can only store the current value. you need to be able to store a cummulative values (which will be stored in your counter).

hope that helps

seems you need to add the "pager" tool, good luck.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

I hope that is supposed to be:

FileInputStream fileHandler = new FileInputStream("myfile.fil");

furthermore, that constructor should not be throwing any IOExceptions, do you have more code or the rest of the exception stack trace?

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

what your code currently does is, it stops when any single amount is greater than 1000. you need to come up with a way to "keep track" of what has already been allocated.

Virtual PC doesn't support linux as far as I am aware. Perhaps you are better off looking into VMWare.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

hopefully this helps, but I am working off ubuntu experience here...

anyway, you have enabled the effect, good. you will need to make sure you have 4 workspaces (if you want a cube, other numbers will give you other shapes). to switch between the workspaces you should be able to use a widget (you can probably activate it through you top/bottom bar), alternatively the ubuntu shortcut is ctrl+alt+left/right_arrow depending on which way you want to change workspaces. you should also be able to click & hold middle-mouse to move the cube around.

hopefully this helps.

try this. i think it will work.

title DreamLinux
root (hd0,4)
kernel boot/vmlinuz-2.6.18.1-kanotix-1 root=/dev/hda5 ro quiet splash vga=791
initrd /boot/initrd-2.6.18.1-kanotix-1

I haven't tried this, but perhaps it gets you closer to your solution... It is a bit of a long shot. I agree with you that it does seem to be a issue with the GRUB configuration.

I think I remember seeing something like this for me too. However, I don't think this actually stopped my microphone from working. Do you need to enable the settings each time for skype to function correctly? I remember just ignoring it and it working fine.

Anyway, if it is causing issues with it being disabled, I don't know a solution to that. You could look into writing a shell script or something :S ...

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

I'll have a look tomorrow (if I remember), but there should be a separate volume for your mic, which you will need to increase accordingly. I am refering to alsamixer here.

He is talking about drivers. Generally linux is not supported by hardware vendors and so the drivers are maintained by people in the open-source community. Drivers for windows do not work in linux, and vice versa.

Yes, if there are driver issues, it will affect anything that is "graphical". The affect may be different depending on what capabilities of the video card are required by said piece of software.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

did you change your alsamixer setting to increase the volume? I think the command is "alsamixer -V all".

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

can you get the details of that error? it will probably give you a clue.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

you won't be able to just install it over fedora and save all your files in the process (unless the two products are intertwined in some special way). what you will instead need to do, is backup your fedora files you need, delete the partition, and then install mandriva.

just keep note of your booting system, but my guess is mandriva will set this up for you automatically.

you will only lose your windows data if you tamper with the partition windows is installed on.

as i said, i wrote about this on my blog, I use the service at planetdomain.com

windows isn't going to show the hdd if it isn't fat / ntfs. and perhaps dreamlinux is using a format not known to pclinuxos too.

perhaps it is the configuration of ftp host to not allow write access. if, as you say you have put +rwx for all users this is the only thing I think would cause this.

when you say you allowed everything on the folder, I assume you put it onto the files inside the folder too?

if it still doesn't work, paste the error you get.

1. you need to register a domain, but this is not inside of ubuntu, you need to do this through a service.
2. to resolve the domain to your server, you then need to set up a name server.
3. setting up a website is done by using some kind of web server software (e.g. apache).
4. tied in with answer to q3.

I actually wrote a bit about this on my blog (you can get to it via my homepage).

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

looks a lot better, my code would probably look very similar to that.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

based on: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/APNG

the "application support", I would say no.

coding standards are a good practice to follow, and I guess it is a good thing you are trying to achieve a good standard. I believe there are some published guidelines available, which will give you a good base.

Based on my opinion (this is a very subjective topic), I'd say you want to make use of some more whitespace, and you need to do something about your ugly commenting. Remember... my opinion

going further, if you start to look at server-side languages, JSP for example, lets you define your own custom tags. If you do this in JSP, you don't need the browser to interpret your "invented" tags.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

you do a similar process to the form, get the form id, then the input field and then do

.value=document.getElementById('cellText').innerHTML
sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

depends on what server-side language you are using. but it should be a simple matter of replacing each "null" with a new line character.

well a map is going to associate a key with a value, so if you set your keys to your planet names and the values to your objects (planets), you can retrieve them based on the name (key).

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

that setting has worked for me in the past (although I don't use ie too much). is it perhaps a certain web site that does this? if so it may be down to the code behind their links.

what are you trying to do?

of course the drivers are going to be for windows (most linux distros are the effort of the open-source community). you are probably going to have to go edit configuration files, so if you check on the fedora forums, i am sure others are in the same situation as you.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

i think you need some actuals specs, because simply creating a file called with the extension .html is "creating a web site".

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

sax and dom are 2 possibilities for you to use to parse XML. their APIs are also well documented.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

Seems like the drivers aren't working as they should. Try get your sound card details and see what other Fedora 10 users have done. There should be forums around similar issues as long as your sound card is not too obscure.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

while installing vista, i believe there is going to be little you can do. After you have installed vista, you want to try and re-enable GRUB to handle boots. There are forums around this topic and apparently a SuperGRUB CD which might be something easier to use.

it depends on your code, but as long as you use a compiler for xp / linux you should get your code to run on either with minimal changes.

you can't install macromedia/adobe products in linux. that path is part of your windows partition, linux doesn't use .exe normally. to get macromedia to run, you could try wine (but i doubt this will be easy), run a vm, or just simply boot into windows. personally i boot into windows when i need flash, dreamweaver etc...

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

well that is obviously Java, and the code should need to change for linux. next time, you should use code tags around your code.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

you need to a find a cd that doesn't have errors on it (probably scratches).

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

What is this "OS disk" you speak of? it is a CD or a floppy disk?

Anyway, if the boot sequence recognises the CD as a higher priority than the HDD, use the Vista CD and boot from that. If that is actually what you are trying to do, it is somehow not recognising it as a "system disk", so try get another copy, even a XP cd will be fine, but then you'll probably need to start fresh.

sillyboy 43 Practically a Master Poster

don't think you can simply "share" files to the Internet. do you have an server (e.g. apache) or something to allow this type of access?
