    A Linux hardware/software problem

    Luckily I dual-booted with Windows, so I'm still functional until I get this stuff figured out. I'll try all that, though, and see if it works.

    A Linux hardware/software problem

    I've installed Linux (Fedora core 3 using Redhat) on my home computer, and it doesn't recognize my wireless network card or my trackpad. Right now I have to use a mouse with Linux, and can't connect to the internet wirelessly. How would I go about to try to get these things recognized?

    Why do you put up with Windows?

    I use Windows, Linux (which uses the Fedora Core 2 Desktop), and every once in a while a Mac, with OSX. I can see the good and bad in all of them. I think I'll be getting more into Linux than I am right now, but I won't stop using Windows, either. It's true that Linux and Mac systems don't...

    C/C++ Solving C++ Recursion Problem with Summing Digits

    I like recursion... Right now I have to write something that I'm told will use double recursion... (A recursive function that will call another recursive function that may call the first one again, etc.)

    Try Ratpoison, It's Good for You

    I was actually able to find Vim for windows (GVim) and it works great! :)

    Interface is even more abstract then an abstract class

    Interfaces, while they may not have "variables" may include static variables, though. For example, you could have CHAIR, TABLE, and ETC with values of 1, 2, and 3, and have a function definition "int getType();" which would return one of these numbers. It was fun in my java class. I had...

    Java Find the Mode of an Array in Java

    I have an idea of how to do it, without sorting, in n time, for any integers, be they small or large. It would take some more advanced things, though... Edit: It might be worth it, though, since it's supposed to return the first mode if there are duplicates. I'm betting that this array is...

    Beat Not Pron: 0.0009% Succeed - Deathball.net

    I got to level 5 before I had to go to bed. I haven't really tried since I first played it, though.

    Show Difference Between Human & Pocket Calculator

    No they can't. They can be programmed to appear to randomly select different methods. They use a fixed set of mathematical equations to generate a "random" number. Often they'll use the time on the computer to make it appear more random, but they'll always use the same set of calculations to...

    Starships A & B: Relative Velocity & Time Interval

    Dave's answer makes the most sense to me, assuming they're both observing from the same relative point on the oposite starships. I know that time slows down, but it would slow down on both the ships at the same rate. Thus, the time measured on one ship would equal the time measured on the other.

    Digital Pedometer for energy expended in exercise

    I would say that the pedometer merely uses approximations, using the values of the average number of paces per mile/kilometer, and the average number of calories burned per mile/kilometer.

    What is the distinct mark or peculiarity of a chicken?

    Well, given the original question, and the given response, I'd say that the question is flawed. "What is the difference between chicken?" would be more apropriate, I think.

    Show Difference Between Human & Pocket Calculator

    Something programmed will do the same thing in the same way every time. I, however, while providing the same answer, might go about it in different ways each time I am asked. One time, for example, I may actually go through the long division, while another time I may use a shortcut I remembered.

    Java Is This Java Code Correct for Comparing Array Elements?

    So, the array "a" needs to have all its elements in array "b"? How about something like this? for(int i = 0; i<a.length; i++) { int j; for(j = 0; j<b.length; j++) { if(a[i] == b[j]) break; } if(j == b.length) //a[i] was not found in...

    Java Get JAVA Runtime Environment for Mac OS X 10.1.5 Today!

    Try here.CLICK I hope that helps. I didn't have time to fully explore the link, but I'll be sure to find one that I'm sure works later. Edit: Especally look http://developer.apple.com/documentation/Java/Conceptual/Java141Development/index.html#//apple_ref/doc/uid/TP30001142 . Edit...
