NetBeans is really good. It has a ton of features, most of which I haven't even touched yet. For simple programming projects, I like Jcreator. It's very clean and simple, and works very well. Eclipse and Jgrasp are other popular choices that you may want to look into.

I definitely would not suggest taking it apart. It can be very dangerous inside a CRT monitor, lots of high voltage even when it's unplugged. You say it's old, it could be just the beginning of the end.

I would start here: [url]http://download.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/[/url] It gives a real good overview of the basics of Java. Also check out NetBeans for your IDE, it can help to guide you as well.

The first thing that pops into my mind is the default gateway. If it is set wrong, then that would explain why you can connect to the computers on your network but not get out to the internet. Check the default gateway on the computers that can get to the …

The only thing that comes to mind is that there may be something running that is preventing the power save mode. For example, if a video is playing, then the power saver settings will be over ridden and stay on. I'm sure it's nothing as obvious as a video playing, …

You're going to have to show a little more effort to get any help, nobody is going to do your homework for you. What have you got for code so far? Have you planned it out in pseudo code yet? For example: prompt user for input separate numbers add them …

It shouldn't be a problem, as long as the serial on the laptop is for home premium. During the install, there's an advanced disk options button that you have to click (can't remember exactly whereabouts in the install it is) where you will find the option to reformat the drive …

It sounds like it could be a driver issue. Have you checked the device manager to see if there are any yellow exclamation points? Thats where I would start.

First you have to make sure you have some kind of video out port, usually it's an S-Video port. I'm not sure about Vista, but in XP under display settings there are options concerning multiple monitors. I had a laptop hooked to my TV a while back, but I can't …

You need to at least start on the project in order to get any help, everybody's willing to help but nobody is going to do it for you. Get some code going, and if you run unto any problems, post it here with specific questions as to the problems you …

GetGuess returns a boolean value, so I'm guessing your println(set1.GetGuess()) statement in the main prints out only true or false. You could add a toString method and call that to print the results.

I did a project earlier this semester involving prime numbers. I used the modulus operator to determine whether the numbers were prime. A prime number is only evenly divisible by one and itself. If it is evenly divisible by any other number, then it is not prime. Think about how …

If it is not in any of the main categories of BIOS settings, make sure you check the "advanced" category. I believe I remember reading somewhere that some BIOS leave virtualization turned on by default and do not have the option to disable it.(I can't confirm that, though). Probably the …

Jon gave some great advice that you should definitely look into to. Another way to go about it may be to convert it to a string, then manipulate that. You can loop through each character of the string of numbers and build another string based on everything before the dot, …

It's a lot easier for people to help you if you post your code using code tags, and ask specific questions as to the particular problem you are having.

Have you looked into the String Builder or String Buffer classes? That was the first thing that popped into my head when thinking of how to do it. It has add and replace methods that may come in handy.

I would use a for loop to fill the array with names.Maybe something like: [CODE] for(int i = 0, i < names.length(); i++) // ask user to input string // store the string in names[i] [/CODE] From your code, it looks like you have a good idea of well arrays …
