or contact some guy in Nigeria. They seem to have a lot of very rich people there who are desperate to get money out of the countr and are willing to share :)

Once you have a connection you can talk over it using the command set provided for that protocol.
So you'll have to write FTP commands to that connection, and read the answers.

The RFC can tell you what those commands are (and there are quite a lot), or you can scour the internet for an FTP library (which I know exists, though I don't have the URL for it).

why not just log them as they are and use the methods in the wrapper classes to convert them back into primitive numbers?

In the States, Cola has become a vice. Sugar is a drug and it is most easily and readily administered via cola. It is not uncommon to see a toddler with cola in his\ her bottle instead of milk or formula.

It's more the cafeine than the sugar I think that's addictive.
It's well known that many people are hooked for life on coffee after a single cup, it's that potent. Cola contains I think only slightly less of the stuff...

Mountain Dew is delicious.
Wish they sold it here, or maybe not as I'd be an addict ;)

What I don't understand is why people buy cola (any brand).

He doesn't seem to grok the concept of having members in a class that aren't primitives, he's not looking at nested or inner classes at all (though his topic does suggest so).
Yet any basic tutorial (and certainly his teacher) will handle that in the first few lessons...

It's therefore obvious that he needs to pay more attention in class, or he'd not have needed to ask this question, as it will have been handled already (and his course material will also handle it, if he but reads it).

Seen the announcement. If I remember correctly the ticket prices were insane.

Extremely hard to tell which system is better value for money.
Not only don't you tell us what you want to do with it but the specs are incomplete as well.

Personally I'm extremely wary of on-board videocards. They cost you main RAM, most of them will reserve 128-256MB RAM for themselves exclusively so effectively your 1GB is reduced by 12.5-25% right there.

The second system doesn't list things like make and model of the motherboard. If that's significantly better than the one in the first machine that alone would make it more than worth the extra money, even without the bigger harddisk and far superior videocard with dedicated highspeed memory.

Specs for the second system don't mention the powersupply in that case either, but it can't be less than the 300W in the first which for a modern machine is puny to say the least (I've seen the first kilowatt PSUs on offer and most machines now come with 450W or more as standard).

Might not be a problem at the moment, but if you ever think of upgrading the machine with another harddisk or adding a videocard or second DVD drive you will be in trouble with only 300W available.

In all, for only a hundred pound extra I'd say you would almost certainly want to go for the second machine for those reasons alone.
The machine should be more capable now as well as more capable of being upgraded over …

Since your error message indicates garbage in front of "Manifest-Version", I assume your file contains garbage there.
Try recreating the manifest file from scratch, do as most people do and use ANT to make it for you ;)

This is not a private message !!

If it had been you'd not have gotten a response at all...

I tried the applet code on frame but it didn't work. That's why asked if someone could help.

It does work the same, but you may be confused about the way it works in applets and not realise it...

Over the last week or two...

and many more.

I THINK he's trying something like

class SomeClass {
    int[] data;
    
    int getField1() { return data[0]; }
    int getField2() { return data[1]; }
}

instead of the more reasonable

class SomeClass {
   int field1;
   int field2;

   int getField1() { return field1; }
   int getField2() { return field2; }
}

Still makes you wonder what the problems with ArrayList are for him.

It's no different...

You haven't looked good enough, there are some pretty good examples out there.
Sun themselves for example have one.

And I know for a fact there's one here as well (I wrote it...).

Remember that an array is just an object. You would better return a collection though, less trouble and more flexible.

It maybe my poor english, but I dont understand what you are trying to say here. How come that something not being a genuine microsoft concept keeps them from making money from it? And if it is a completely different architecture, then isn't it, as Dragon said, a different OS?

He's saying that XP is DOS 1.0 and should therefore be free...
Of course that logic is fundamentally flawed. Even if it were true that XP is DOS 1.0 (there is in fact probably not a line of code from DOS 1.0 left and hasn't been since 1995 or so) that still wouldn't mean it has to be free.

But that the typical argument of the pirate, it "should" have been free so he's taking only what he should have gotten without payment and therefore he's "only punishing large greedy companies" and "it doesn't cost them anything anyway" (because "it should have been free" and "it didn't cost anything to them anyway").

I've heard all those piracy arguments before Chaky, and they're all complete bollocks.

Try running a computer without an operating system and see what all the "nothing" an OS does really is.

I don't know what you should do in WL 8.1.
WL 6 pretty much required you to create the deployment descriptors, package everything in an EAR file, and deploy that.

Books have been written about creating games (including several specifically about RPGs and RTSs).
I don't know any websites giving complete (or even partial) code listings for one though. That's not to say they don't exist, but I've never looked for them.

Start at the line number given in the exception and work back from there.
You're trying to call a method on an unitialised object reference, something that's impossible.
Once you know what reference that is, work back to find out why it's not initialised (or maybe you're working with the wrong one?).

Whether it does anything at all also depends on the database settings.
It could well be that the database is set to not support autocommit for example, requiring an explicit commit or rollback.
Personally I consider that to be the best option in most real applications, as it gives more control over transaction handling (and probably higher performance) than having an implicit commit on every insert or update.

winter's too cold and too wet, summer's too hot (well, it's supposed to, this year it was mainly too wet), autumn and spring are too wet...

Overall though I'd say spring is the least disagreeable season.

Sure to work for something, though I don't know what :)

applets don't need a main method :)

If it uses wine it's hopeless. Wine is fundamentally broken and extremely incomplete.

It isn't recognised as a date, period.
It's up to you to make sure only things that are recognised as dates are inserted...

The actual date given (whether the string can be parsed to an actual date or not) is impossible from your original message to know.
Many people will give some value like 00-00-0000 to indicate any date, and it might have been the driver returning that message because it doesn't recognise the actual format used.

Maybe you should be less agressive towards people trying to help, it doesn't make them any more likely to help you in the future.

That's why they won't last (at least not as a VIABLE alternative ;) ).
Reminds me of Lindows, who tried the same and were stupid enough to get themselves indicted for trademark infringement in the process.

And if these kids claim openly to be a Windows clone, they could face the same fate if they ever get their act together and produce something that's less than a decade behind the times.

Seems a very clear and concise error message to me.
You're trying to turn something into a date that isn't recognised as a date.
The solution is to make sure it is recognised, using the relevant formatters and converters provided in the standard library.

I think you'll at some point run into limits for the maximum length of classnames (including package names) which are likely Integer.MAX_VALUE.
Before that you'll possibly run into the maximum size of codefiles (though those can be quite large).

The most serious problem of all of course is that it's horrendously bad design to need anything like that ;)

First, the term "session bean" is reserved for a specific class of Enterprise Java Beans, or EJB.
I doubt you're referring to those.

Java has a built-in LinkedList type, simply store an instance of that in the Http session and add to it.

and what have you tried? Tried getting someone else to do it for you elsewhere I guess?

And why are you too lazy to even copy and paste the entire assignment including your teacher's email address so we can send the solutions directly to them as extra service?

Don't do other kids' homework for them, it only leads to stupid lazy people gaining diplomas.

Sure, but to expect to magically find that "one" by visiting a website....

used to work with Turbo Pascal 15 years ago, actually wrote my own BGI driver once...

NEVER hardcode a path anywhere in your application.
If you use the BGI (which stands for Borland Graphics Interface btw) you will need the BGI files of course, which are the graphics drivers for that system.
You do NOT need to have TC itself installed anywhere except on your own machine, nor the source for your application, just the BGI files.

But as others asked, why are you sticking to a 20 year old compiler?

That isn't what you're supposed to do.
Think subclassing the button to create one that has a custom constructor taking an argument telling it what incrememt or decrement it should apply to the slider and another argument passing a reference to the slider.

Whatever happened to just being yourself?
If you need some company to arrange a mate for your and a book or website to tell you how to "snatch them up", maybe you should better stay single.

Sure it's possible. You just have to correctly read your assignment.

Putting a JToolBar anywhere except on the edges of a window is however NOT possible.

well, a lot of application manuals tell you something like "click with the mouse on the printer to print".
Someone's bound to take that literally :)

There's nothing to do with cursors in there, no wonder you don't get a custom cursor to show up :)

The box of my Soundblaster X-Fi eXtreme Music claims to have "better than the original CD" playback for ripped audio :)

It's a pretty nice card, but I doubt that claim can be proven true ;)

nope, there's no way to get at money in a pp account without giving pp control over your bank account and/or credit card (with the power to draw money out of them at will).

The first thing to do is NOT to build that GUI but to figure out what you're actually trying to do.

Without knowing that you can never expect to create a user interface which actually makes sense, let alone the code behind it to work with the data entered and produce the data you want to produce.

Your array is meant to store numbers entered into the user interface for later calculation of their average.
A rather limited implementation, but I guess you haven't come to the point of learning about more appropriate data structures yet so it'll have to do for now.
Just make sure you have some checks on the number of inputs in there so you don't try to insert more than 15 elements into the array :)

And what's your question about that code?
What doesn't work, and why?

As to adding a Map to a Map, that's easy. But depending on what you mean by it (there are several possible interpretations of the phrase) the implementation would differ and so would the effect.

sounds more like a city in India to me :)

well, your getValueAt() must have a bug in it somewhere...

Encountered that with regular phone lines years ago.
I've even had calls from people claiming to be telemarketeers who "just" needed my bank account number, SSN, and passport number in order to provide me with "an excellent offer".

There is a can opener actually :)

It does look slightly impractical to me though, especially since it's missing a blowtorch and soldering iron.

Whether a specific word is profane or not depends as much (if not more) on the context in which it is used as it does on the word itself.

for example the word beaver when used to mean a large furry rodent who's rather fond of water isn't profane in any way. When used to indicate a certain part of a woman's anatomy it certainly is.

any tutorial will tell you how to do that. Pay more attention in class and actually read your course material.
