Hi. I'm a bit new to all this programming thing, and I'm reading about C++ and Java. I read on WIkipedia that C++ is mostly used for applications and system.
My question is then: Can you program a system or large fully funtional programs with java, if yes, is it a good idea to used java for systems of large applications?
Thanks. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 194.239.172.228 ( talk) 07:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
It is difficult to compare. The other reason may be because Java programs generally have more features in them anyway, compared to C+. Vuze is slower than Transmission (BitTorrent client). But why? Because Vuze is Java and Transmission is in C+, or because Vuze does absolutely everything you could possibly want, and even what you would never want? 84.13.87.28 ( talk) 13:51, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
I think my question will be a little light on necessary technical information, but anyway...my organisation tried to switch ISPs. Our domain name was, at some point, incompletely transferred, and there was confusion. In the course of working to solve the problem, basically by trying to reverse the switch and go back to the way everything was...I've been unable to either send email or receive it. I can't send to myself, I can't send to my other (external) email address, I can't receive from my other (external) email address, and I am not receiving from other external addresses. Except spam. Somehow, spam messages are still able to find their way to my address...an address I don't even know where it lives now myself...and into my inbox. How do they do that? If no other email reaches me, how can the spams do it? Thanks if you can provide any insight. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.101.134.43 ( talk) 09:09, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
Hello. I have a Lenovo/Thinkpad laptop (purchased new May 2007) running WIndows Vista. Yesterday, without warning or any apparent reason, I noticed that--according to the battery display icon on the right side of the taskbar--my battery is no longer capable of charging. When plugged in, the computer runs fine. When I pull out the power cord, the battery (now at 35%) begins to deplete as it normally would, but when I reinsert the power cord, the battery will begin to charge back up. Any ideas? Thank you very much for your help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.211.242.80 ( talk) 11:29, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

We heard that .org domain names can't be switched from an ISP, and then switched elsewhere or switched back, in less than 60 days. Supposedly this is a restriction specifically on .org names. Can anyone confirm this, and explain whose regulation that would be, who enforces it and how, and how an exception could be made? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.101.134.43 ( talk) 13:11, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I use
Linux Reader to copy files from ext file system to Windows.
fs-driver can do both read/write but what I've heard is that you should not write to Linux filesystems using these drivers because they ignore file permissions and can often mess up things. -

I have been pestered for a week by a message saying "this version of Windows XP is no longer secure. To get up to date security features, please download the latest service pack" or something along the lines of that. So i finally downloaded it, and i restarted.
Now, i get the Windows XP screen, and then a blank screen after that. i dont know what the problem is, and i cant get into safe mode to do a system recovery. it just stops at the screen with the list of system files.
For the hell of it, with the blank screen up, i typed in my password, thinking maybe it was working but the display was messed up. Sure enough, i heard the startup jingle shortly afterward. So its obviously a display problem.
Ive never encountered something like this. what can i do? the juggresurection IstKrieg! 18:30, 15 August 2008 (UTC)

I don´t know anything about Linux. What should I do? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.K. ( talk • contribs) 20:40, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
sudo apt-get install libgl1-mesa-glx libgl1-mesa-dri

If I want to do some serious work in Linux like BRL-CAD, should I change now for a different version or is this version as good as anyone else? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mr.K.
