Does anyone knows why the 3 little icons on the upleft corner in the aperture window are not in color ?
i'm just wondering.

That is by design.

Why the distant objects are not shown ?

Hi , everyone .
The distant objects are not shown unless moving the view closer to them in Java3D .
How to change or set to show the distant objects without moving the view ?
Anyone on any information or advice would be helpful.
3QS !!!
PS: using the defualt virtual universe : SimpleUniverse

When you are creating the View Object do something like this:
// Set up the Front Clipping Distance - in Virtual Eye Coordinates
myView.setFrontClipPolicy( View.VIRTUAL_EYE );
myView.setFrontClipDistance( FRONT_CLIP_DISTANCE );
// Set up the Back Clipping Distance - In Virtual Eye Coordinates
myView.setBackClipPolicy( View.VIRTUAL_EYE );
myView.setBackClipDistance( BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE );
The VIRTUAL_EYE can be replaced by PHYSICAL_EYE and a few others(check javadocs for View for more info)
and the FRONT_CLIP_DISTANCE and BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE are just :
public static final double FRONT_CLIP_DISTANCE = 0.1; // 0.1 Virtual Meters
public static final double BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE = 100; // 100 Virtual Meters
so to get your objects in the distance to render at a greater distance from them, then just increase the BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE to 1000 or something like that
NOTE: the larger the BACK_CLIP_DISTANCE, the longer and slower it will take to render you scene each frame. YOU WILL PAY FOR THIS (in CPU time)
Hope this helps

Why the two objects are not add by java

like below
Integer i1=new Integer(5);
Integer i2=new Integer(5);
System.out.println(i1+i2);
if i run this program out put is 10
but
Object o1=new Object();
Object o2=new Object();
System.out.println(o1+o2);
gives compilation error.
plz help me to solve this doubt

Assuming this is not an April Fools Day joke,
then the serious answer is: what does it MEAN to add two arbitrary objects?
Intuitive answer:
If all you told Java is that o1 is an Object and o2 is an Object,
how would Java know what to do with them?
Are them numbers? Are they lists? Are they graphical icons? What?
Technical answer:
The + operator requires numbers or Strings.
And Java's auto-unboxing only works for primitive types.
So only String, Float, Double, Integer, Short... will work.
Object will not work.

[SOLVED]Why the partition numbers are not in sequence?

Hi guys!
Here is an extreme newbie Q...
I want to install Arch linux...
I have windows 8 64-bit installed on the HDD with MBR partition table...
And here are my partitions (in order) that I see from the arch usb installation media:
/dev/sda1: System Reserved (primary, active)
/dev/sda2: C (primary)
/dev/sda3: Extended
/dev/sda5: D (Logical)
/dev/sda6: E (Logical)
Uallocated space.
So I already have 2 primary and 1 extended partition.
Now, my question is: Why did it skipped the number sda4?
Is it normal?
When I create third primary partition on unallocated space, it assigns the number sda4 to it...
What is going on?

This is true; however, Windows will boot from a GPT disk only on an EFI-based system. If the computer in question supports EFI, you can make that switch, as described here, or you can re-install Windows. If the computer is strictly BIOS-based (as are most that are older than about 2 or 2.5 years), you're pretty much stuck with MBR if you're booting Windows from the disk. Overall, it's probably better to just stick with MBR partitioning.
FWIW, Linux doesn't need to reside on a primary partition. Given the setup described by Sameer, my recommendation would actually be to use GParted to expand the size of the extended partition (/dev/sda3) to cover the whole disk, and then create logical partitions for Linux. This way you won't use up all of the primary partitions, which might prove to be important in the future, should you need another primary for some reason. It can also keep the partition numbers increasing, albeit with a jump from 3 to 5.

After upgrading to Mountain Lion, I repeatedly get this message: "There was a problem connecting to the server. URLs with the type "file:" are not supported.
Why?
What can be done to eliminate it?

Open the Time Machine pane in System Preferences. If it shows that Time Machine is ON, click the padlock icon in the lower left corner, if necessary, to unlock it. Scroll to the bottom of the list of backup drives and click Add or Remove Backup Disk. Remove all the disks, then add them back. Quit System Preferences. Test.

Why the nokia n73 me not support N-Gage games ????...

why the nokia n73 me not support N-Gage games ???????
Nokia N73, product code 0539295
Version: 4.0839.42.2.1

Ngage has been around for quite a while now and has been "coming soon" for the N73 for as long as I can remember.
If they're taking this long to adapt it to the N73 it's almost certainly because they're having difficulty streamlining it to work on such a poorly-equipped handset.
Don't get me wrong. I think the N73's a great little device and I love mine. It's just not up to the task of a gaming platform.

Why the default value is not the Oracle recommended?

Why the default value is not the Oracle recommended?
In Oracle 10g, the default alocated unit of Oracle ASM is 1MB. But the Oracle ducumentation states that "To ensure a higher probability of one
logical I/O resulting in no more than one physical I/O, the minimum stripe depth should be at least twice the Oracle block size". ---See Performance Tuniing Guide (10g10.2 Page8-3.
It's inconsistent. What is right way?

At least twice the size does not mean exactly the doubled size.
There is no contradiction between the documentation and your observation in this case.

My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad one.

My IPad cannot download live Tv from skygo. I have no problem with my lap top so I assume the broad band is okay. Can anybody suggest why the live streaming will not work on my iPad .

Are you using the Sky Go app to try and watch it ? If so are you logged in with your Sky account ?
If you are using the app then you could try closing the app completely and see if it works when you re-open it : from the home screen (i.e. not with Sky Go 'open' on-screen) double-click the home button to bring up the taskbar, then press and hold any of the apps on the taskbar for a couple of seconds or so until they start shaking, then press the '-' in the top left of the Sky Go app to close it, and touch any part of the screen above the taskbar so as to stop the shaking and close the taskbar.
If that doesn't work then you could try a reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g!

Why are the application in the apple store are not compatible with the iPod touch 4g? Apple please realize there are some of us who still have the iPod touch 4g! I just want to know.

Once I find the game i will truly screenshot that it states "not compatible for these models". I just find it RIDICULOUS that my iPod touch is in good condition and some of the applications that I want download sometimes are not compatible with my iPod touch 4g. I am not going to buy an ipod 5th generation if my 4g is still going strong since the year of 2010.

Garmin is sending you to Apple because it is Apple that would have to give you a refund as the actual point of sale. However, Apple states all sales are final.
Apple is sending you to Garmin because it is Garmin's fault their maps are out of date and Apple doesn't write the software. They may not even be looking that deeply and simply perceiving it as a programming "bug" it is up to Garmin to solve.
Who know whose fault it is that Garmin isn't getting up to date data to put in their maps.
Ultimately I think you stand the best chance in getting a refund from Apple though it isn't guaranteed. Apple is the cashier. You just have to convince them this isn't just a line of code omitted from an application and isn't something that will be soon corrected by Garmin. Make it clear it isn't a problem with the application running on your device, it is a problem with the data it contains. Either that or you have to hope Garmin will feel so bad about it they will delve down into their slush fund and send you a refund.

Why the AWT components are called heavy-weight and SWING as light-weight?

Why the AWT components are called heavy-weight and SWING as light-weight?.
Building our own components means overhead on JVM. hence in what sence the SWING components are called light weight.?
I know that the Swing componets are the components which are not going to depend upon peer classes and render, OS independent LOOK n FEEL.
Thanks,

All extensions of Component are considered lightweight since, as you point out, they don't have their own dedicated native peer.
Essentially a lightweight component only has a canvas on which to draw itself and some means of receiving events from the system. In fact, there is no need to have one of these "canvas" and "event" objects for each component - the parent component can manage these abilities on behalf of its children. Eventually you end up with only top-level components needing to be heavyweight in order to communicate with the windowing system.
A lightweight component therefore has the minimal dependency on the underlying windowing system giving you maximum cross-platform flexibility.
It is usually true that lightweight => slower and heavyweight => faster since it is reasonable to assume that native peers will be optimal for the windowing system. However, that's not the point of the lightweight/heavyweight distinction.
Hope this helps.
