I've just started checking over my website in Internet Explorer 8 beta, thinking I wouldn't see any problems. I do, unfortunately. Every other browser in existence, from Firefox to Safari to IE5.5, displays my website the way I want it to. IE8 doesn't. I've attached a graphic that shows this...

When I boot up my computer, I see my hard drive's serial ID# flash on the screen. However, when I try to install Windows XP, XP tells me that there are no hard drives available. I've tried to install both XP32bit and XP64- XP64 isn't supposed to require extra drivers (they're supposed to be on...

After installing some new hardware, I went to install an OS, and it fails upon starting up. the weird thing is, it actually posts and i get partway through the initial loading of the setup before it freezes. Here's my system: Motherboard: MSI K8T Master2-FAR (supports 2 cpus, but not dual-core...

Hey all. I've installed Oracle App Server 10.1.3 Enterprise Edition. It has sqlplus and everything, but no database that I'm aware of. I'd like to install an Oracle database, but I'm not sure if I should just install Oracle DB on top, and how to get it to talk with the app server so that they're...

I know that Windows Search doesn't search for text within files of unknown types. I'd like to be able to search for text within .java files, or .properties files, etc, because these are ascii files. All I've been able to find out so far is how to enable windows to search in all files. I imagine...

I've changed the grammar checker settings, and I'm working with a 60-page paper. I'd like to make certain global changes, for example expanding all contractions and making all sentences have 1 space between them instead of 2 (or in some cases more). If I do this through the spell/grammar...

I've inserted a picture into a word document and assigned a caption to it. It's the first picture in the document. The number formatting for the caption is "1, 2, 3, ..." and the label is "Figure". The caption text in the Caption dialog box says "Figure 1", but when I after I press "OK" to...

http://users.wpi.edu/~lmorley/ct2/ if you open that page in IE, it works fine. however if you open it in Firefox/Mozilla, and then go to a different page, and then hit 'back', the Flash part will disappear. The 'flash' part is being generated with a javascript:document.write() function, and is...

When I use the windows search function and search for all files that include a certain word/phrase, it searches through HTML files, TXT files, etc, but does not search through other formats like SQL and java. I really want to search for text in these files! (And in other formats too.) How do I...

Class.getName() doesn't work for me because for a class type like "char[]" it returns something unreadable like "[C". Is there a way to return the class type in a readable fashion no matter what type of Class it is? Liam Morley lmorley@wpi.edu "light the deep, and bring silence to the...

I have an object that needs printing, but I get it cast as "Object". The following is the only way I know how to return a String representation of this: private String getValueAsArrayString() { assert value.getClass().isArray(); if (value instanceof boolean[])...

let's say I've got an abstract class with a public constructor that takes a few arguments. This constructor is not overloaded by a subclass. Given a non-abstract class that extends the above class, I'd like to find all of the constructors I can call to instantiate this object. Included in this...

I have one column "sex" with values "male" or "female", and another column "age" with values "adult" and "child". I'd like to count the number of adult males using a function. I can count the number of males, or the number of adults, using COUNTIF, but it doesn't look like I can specify multiple...

I've been looking over the BEA Cluster documentation, and nothing seems to be working. I can send requests to any single machine in the cluster, but I can't address the cluster itself. There's no DNS server for our boxes, so we've been making use of the windows HOSTS file for testing purposes...

quite possibly a simple question, but i can't seem to find the answer. I'd like to say "give me the first 50 results of query x". MySQL does it like this:SELECT * FROM table LIMIT 5,10; #this will retrieve rows 6 through 15I'm hoping for something that will actually limit the number of rows I...

I'm looking to create a method somewhat like JOptionPane's static showXxxDialog methods. Their JavaDoc says that "Each showXxxDialog method blocks the current thread until the user's interaction is complete." So I was trying to block the thread, and getting...

When my application first starts up, it checks to see if a user has already been created. If so, it just starts the application; if not, it shows a "Create New User" dialog, then shows the application. (The main application is in a class called Console which inherits from JFrame.) My dilemma is...

What's a good book for J2EE? I'm looking for something that targets an experienced Java programmer who hasn't learned about EJB etc. (or perhaps even javabeans at all). I'm looking for something that I can use as a reference after I've learned about it. Liam Morley lmorley@wpi.edu "light...

each windows-created folder within My Documents, for example "My Music" or "My Pictures", has a hidden Desktop.ini file with, among other things, something like this: Personalized=39 PersonalizedName=My Pictures Where exactly is it pulling the number 39 from? Is that in the registry somewhere...

I'm running WinXP, with a motherboard with on-board RAID (Gigabyte GA-7DXR). it has 4 EIDE slots. there is a jumper on the motherboard to turn RAID on or off; i'm pretty sure it's set to off right now (that is, if i'm not looking at it upside down). on IDE1 I have two hard drives (one set to...
