Sort of longish: So in Denmark we have this electronic signature thing called NemId, which makes it possible for us to sign on with the same login information on multiple things like tax records, banking etc. Sensitive stuff in other words. It does this in two parts: A login/password part and...

So I recently took a new job after being with the same company for nine years. I did fine there, but it was basically the same thing all the time, several different applications all basically set up the same way. Once I could fix one, I could fix them all. But my new job is taking over a single...

Hey all: Working on some Java class homework and I need some help. I'm supposed to write a program that asks for a month and creates a one dimensional array that holds the temperature for each day of the month then it creates a printout of each day of the month then gives the average temp. I'm...

I am usually quite capable of inspiring myself to do stuff in the field of software development, but in this case, for the first time ever, I figured I would mine some of you folks for ideas. Over the past few days, I have re-familiarized myself with Java and Eclipse, and familiarized myself...

We've taken a younger person (early 20s) into our home for assistance. He isn't working and our location excludes retail-like work (way outside any populated areas). He does have an interest in game programming with some ideas about games he'd like to create. I have an interest in having...

Here is a thread for discussing the merits of various computer languages. I am starting this as an attempt to continue a discussion I was having with a fellow TAM member, that was cut off much too soon. I hope she joins us, but if not, at least I should have someone else to argue with, about...

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Flash VS. Java? I know you can distribute java without a license, right? Let me ask a different question. Do all browsers these days come with Java and Flash drivers by default, or do you still have to download them as plug-ins or components?

Hi, I am looking for a little help with a Java quiz See Quiz. It was created using the Hot Potato program. At the min all it does is give whoever takes the quiz their score but what I'd like it to do is a statisical analysis of all participants, so that it shows scores, avg score, what was...

I've been using Java for a lot of my programming needs for the past 6 months or so (because it's so much easier to make windows/UIs with than C++), but I've come across a problem I can't seem to figure out. Is it possible to, in Java, copy a string of text to the system clipboard, then...

Java applet experts, I asked this question awhile ago, but perhaps new information has come to light. Is there any platform-independent way of opening up a new browser page from a Java applet? Considering the context of a Java applet, you'd think it would be trivial, yet I cannot figure out a...

I recently noticed that the newer versions of the JRE and java SDK weren't uninstalling the old versions. So I took it upon myself to do this by uninstalling all of it and reinstalling just the new versions. So, because of my tinkering, applets no longer run in firefox. They do run in IE. So I...

K, so far i have learned, at home Qbasic, Pascal and php. From studying i have learned Mosml and C++. The next half year, i'll be learning Java and C#. Now, i run linux(gentoo) exclusively, but that doesn't mean i'm zealous against .net. I can see certain good things in it. As for java...

A Java applet normally doesn't have permission to open a new browser window (say, to display a page with help). I find this odd, but anyhoo. Does anyone know how to get around this restriction, short of granting full permissions to the applet? ~~ Paul

Hi, I've been doing some Java-programming several years ago, and now I want to update myself in order to be a stronger candidate for getting some money. Java is popular, and though I wasn't all that confortable with the language/tools, it's still a reasonable thing to look into to try to...

If there are any Java Swing experts here, please PM me. There is so much magic in JScrollPanes that I'm confounded. ~~ Paul

My girlfriend had problems with Spyware and a virus on her PC. She was finally able to get rid of it all with McAfee (Norton wouldn't clean it), Spybot and Microsoft's Spyware tool. Now however, certain web sites will not load on her browser. For instance, attempting to go to www.google.com...

I know this sounds stupid, but I just can´t figure out how to use a compiler in Win XP... I´ve only used a Mac w/ OSX before, and it´s so easy... I just use the "terminal" window, and that´s it. Do I have to download J2sdk from Sun to get a compiler? Or is it integrated in Win XP? I´m...

So I've downloaded a freeware java class which will put a neat scrolling text effect on my webpage. I've uploaded it and tested it with all the default options, and it works. The readme says that the options can be changed from the default settings - but to do that, I need to open the .class...

I've run so many freaking anti-spyware programs and anti-virus programs and system security website checks on my computer lately, it will no longer run Java no matter what I try. Before anyone asks, I've played with my internet options. I even checked the lowest security option just to see if...
