Confusion about setting up array.can someone trouble shoot this?

Trying to enter 12 values for rainfall for calling to methods later
import java.util.Scanner;
     public class Rainfall
           double []mrt;
          mrt = new double[12];
          int month;
               for (month=0;month<12;month=month++)
                         System.out.println("Input Monthy Rain Total for month #" +(month+1));
                        mrt[month]=keyboard.nextInt();
                              do
                              { System.out.println("Input Monthly Rain Total of Zero or greater!!!");
                                mrt[month]=keyboard.nextInt();
                              while (mrt[month]<0);
     }                    

So what's the problem?
I mean, you do know that you should put those statements inside a method, don't you?

  • Confused about my project settings - Can someone advise?

    I have some clips of my child when she was very little (i've supplied a sample at the bottom). I want to make a project with them in Premiere Elements 10.
    I've tried using Premiere Elements' auto project settings advisor (i.e placed the 1st clip of the new project onto the timeline so it can advise if the project settings are correct or not) but no matter what intial project settings i use Premiere Elements doesnt suggest auto corrected settings. So, I've used 3 different media analisis programs to tell me what properties my video clips have and they all say different things:
    1) Media info says: AVI (Mjpeg) 720x480 (3:2) 30 fps NTSC, interlaced.
    2) MovieScanner says: AVI (Mjpeg) 720x480 (4:3), 480p (progressive).
    3) MediaTab says: AVI (Mjpeg) 720x480 (3:2) 30fps, NTSC progressive.
    So, i think i can safely say the clips are AVI (motion Jpeg), but are they interlaced or progressive (it's obviouisly important for me to get this right when choosing the project settings)? I have no idea what the pixel aspect ratio and all that would be as that's getting too advanced for me.
    Can Mjpeg even be interlaced? Surely if it's lots of Jpegs put together to make a moving image then they must be progressive, or can the Jpegs themselves be interlaced?
    Here is a very small sample clip if somebody wants to download & have a look for me:

    Any tips of how someone would go about finding out these settings would be great too.
    Many thanks.

    Your wisdom here would be greatly appreciated (again).
    I've decided to make my new movie project of my childs' 1st year in Premiere Elements 12 (not 10), and with the following settings:
    The clips i have are of her 1st year and are from the same camcorder. Unfortunently (as previously described) i changed the settings on the camcorder half way through the year. So i have 2 sets of clips i want to use if possible.
    The clips are in date order & comprise of the following 2 sets of properties (info from MediaInfo older version 0.7.47):
    Set 01:
    Format                           : JPEG
    Codec ID                         : MJPG
    Width                            : 640 pixels
    Height                           : 480 pixels
    Display aspect ratio             : 4:3
    Frame rate                       : 30.000 fps
    Color space                      : YUV
    Chroma subsampling               : 4:2:2
    Bit depth                        : 8 bits
    Scan type                        : Progressive
    Compression mode                 : Lossy
    Bits/(Pixel*Frame)               : 1.161
    Stream size                      : 144 MiB (98%)
    Set 02 (you have a copy of 1 the clips from this set (2010-12-20 - emily in jersey.avi)):
    Format                           : JPEG
    Codec ID                         : MJPG
    Width                            : 720 pixels
    Height                           : 480 pixels
    Display aspect ratio             : 3:2
    Frame rate                       : 30.000 fps
    Standard                         : NTSC
    Color space                      : YUV
    Chroma subsampling               : 4:2:2
    Bit depth                        : 8 bits
    Scan type                        : Progressive
    Compression mode                 : Lossy
    Bits/(Pixel*Frame)               : 1.158
    Stream size                      : 93.5 MiB
    Now, i have a stumbling block to solve and your advice would be hugely valued:
    What project settings should i use (i ideally want to use both sets of clips in the same project, sorry, lol)?
    I'm very tempted to use the project settings that Premiere Elements 12 suggests. It suggests a project setting for clips from set 1 (but has no idea about the settings for Set 2). There are more clips in Set 1 and so it makes sense to me (at the moment) to choose those.
    The suggested settings from Premiere Elements 12 are:
    Sony XD CAM EX 720p
    timebase 30.00 fps
    640 x 480
    square (1.0)
    no fields (progressive scan)
    30fps timecode
    The clip information that Premiere Elements 12 displays for the 1st clip in set 1 that i placed on the timeline are:
    Image size 640x480
    Frame rate 30
    Pixel aspect ratio 1.0
    Would you agree that these settings look about right, or would you still recomend the settings you previously suggested (for that clip from set 2)?
    Also, just to complicate things slightly too, i have 2 further clips that i wouldnt mind fitting in that were captured using a different camera altogether. I was not going to use them because of the incompatible frame rate, but is it possible? It doesnt matter too much if its too much of a pain becausde they are only 2 clips.
    Their settings are:
    Video
    Format                           : JPEG
    Codec ID                         : MJPG
    Duration                         : 3mn 2s
    Bit rate                         : 16.3 Mbps
    Width                            : 1 280 pixels
    Height                           : 720 pixels
    Display aspect ratio             : 16:9
    Frame rate                       : 24.000 fps
    Color space                      : YUV
    Chroma subsampling               : 4:2:0
    Bit depth                        : 8 bits
    Scan type                        : Progressive
    Compression mode                 : Lossy
    Bits/(Pixel*Frame)               : 0.738
    Stream size                      : 354 MiB (92%)
    Title                            : FUJIFILM AVI STREAM 0100
    I'll probably need further advice when the project is completed about how to ideally export the movie.
    Many many thanks.
    ps. This problem will not occur again, since i now shoot all my clips from 1 HD camera and with all the same settings, lol.
    Just in case you wish to view the 1st clip from set 1 that i placed on the timeline, i have uoploaded it to skydrive:

    I have an apple tv 1st generation, and there is a setting for airtunes. can someone tell me what this is and how to use it?

    I've looked at that, but on my PC, "look for remote speakers connected with airtunes" isn't an option.
    The only options I get are "prevent ipods [etc] from syncing automatically" , "warn me when [X %] of the data on this computer will be changed" and "forget all remotes". Its also got a list of backups I have saved, as well as a button to reset sync history.
    When I am playing a song, the "airplay" button isn't even visible.
    I am sure that the apple tv setting is on as well. Is there anything else you can help me with?

    I have the i7-720 and the processor and I can attest to the W510 overheating. I recently had my planar replaced under warranty and it returned with an overheating issue for heavy processor loads.  This overheating was resolved by properly applying thermal paste (lenovo applied about 3x as much as was needed)  while the GPU continues to overheat and cause stuttering. If I run furmark in any resolution for a length of time at maximum fan speed and watch the GPU overheat, throttle, and overheat again. This would all be fine if it didn't cause the whole system to lag terribly in games or on the desktop.
    In my view the design of the GPU cooler and thermal pads for the GPU memory cooling are very sensitive to installation. The cooler is easy to bend and the pressure clamp for the GPU isn't really designed to a certain tolerance. It's simply a clamp with a bent part that will apply some random amount of pressure to the gpu cooler.
    It's just such a delicate system of cooling that there is too much room for error. It has to be installed correctly in order to function properly and I don't think there is really a good way of making sure that you've done it without running benchmarks for hours after reinstalling the cooler. I don't think this is something Lenovo is going to do. There aren't any options from Lenovo for a better heat sink design and I am pretty sure not everyone is having these issues.
    So I'm going to mess with the GPU cooler until it starts working. Here's a furmark screenshot showing the temps.

    I have an iBook with Dual USB that won't fully turn on. it flashes a "?" and the Mac face symbol in a folder i the middle of the screen. How can I trouble shoot?

    Restart with the Option key held down and see if the internal drive appears.
    If it does, click on it, press Enter, and then change the setting in the Startup Disk pane of System Preferences or the Startup Disk control panel.
    If it doesn't, insert a Mac OS install CD or DVD and use the Disk Utility or Disk First Aid to repair the internal drive. If there aren't any problems, install an OS onto it.

    Google show that you have to cut what you want to print and then paste it into a new app and print from that app.

    Hey greytdogs,
    I would give some of the suggestions in this link a shot:

  • Background image seems to be applied twice Can someone help with this CSS issue....

    Can someone help with this CSS issue....
    http://66.162.81.144/cms400min/default.aspx
    If you view the main page you will see that our background is
    2 shades of
    orange.. if you look at the line that divides those colors to
    the right and
    left you wil notice that the line is higher
    if you notice that it seems that there is another background
    on top of the
    first one..its the only thing i can think of..
    the only place where the image is being referenced is in this
    CSS style
    html, body
    min-height:100%;
    margin-bottom:1px;
    text-align:center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
    background-color:#F74902;
    background-position:center;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    Is there something wrong with the above CSS that could or
    would cause this?
    is it because im applying the image to both the HTML and
    BODY?
    ASP, SQL2005, DW8 VBScript, Visual Studio 2005, Visual Studio
    2008

    You've attached the background to both the html and the body.
    I would do this:
    html, body {
    min-height:100%;
    margin-bottom:1px;
    body{
    text-align:center;
    background-repeat:no-repeat;
    background-image:url(images/Background-Color2.jpg);
    background-color:#F74902;
    background-position:center;
    background-attachment:fixed;
    Having said that the image doesn't look any higher on the
    right than the
    left to me in Firefox. Is it just an optical illusion?

    When you sync using iTunes on your computer, do you see a lot of "Other" at the bottom of the iTunes Summary Page for your iPhone?  If you do, try a "Restore iPhone ...".  That should help.
    Hopefully that would do it for you.  If not, the next (more drastic) step would be to restore again as above, but choose "Restore as New" and then manually sync.  Omit any apps that might be suspcious in their space use (primarily Game Center apps).

    the manufaturing number are the same but if you read the info on the first link it says 3.6Ghz and the seconed link says 3.0Ghz now is there a BIG (_*_) Mistake or are the company TigerDirect being too specific causing me to be insane lol huh ? Please help me I am trying to get a 3.2Ghz chip egzactley the same as in link 2 but 3.2Ghz not 3.0Ghz are they out yet?
    Please help Thank You very much :P

    I am so happy that I am an MSI guy here at this lovely forum I mean you all helped me so much and you did not have to but I do apreesheate it a lot from you guys I do know that I will be tossing plenty of money in to this chip but the reason why it so high at tigerdirect is because you are paying for there name brand and there product but I love shoping at there store because they are always polite there over the phone and I always get there best service there so I don't mind paying an extra few hundread dollors for there stuff.
    The reason for tossing so much money into this machine is no im not rich we or shall I say I am avrage I have a good job and still live with my parants so I have no utility bills to pay except insurance for my car every month but other then that I can save up quickley if I manage my money the right way hehe. But anywho I paid for the new from soyo SY-P4i875P Dragon2 Platinum Edition Motherboard capable of 3.02Ghz and will have a 3.00Ghz in it with HT   I bought it from http://www.Outpost.com/ witch I did love there service all around but if you pay by check be prepared to wait for 2 weeks lol god lee don't they know wow to torture there customers hehe so plz use money orders hehe but they sent it airborne express I belive thats what it is called correct me if im wrong. and that was quick hehe and also they make sure the person gets it too by having me sign for the package hehe I love how that works.
    I guess you guys are like havent he heard of paragraphs hehe:) Nope sure havent but since I went all out on video and sound I thought hey you know what why don't I dump this AMD and go for Intel pentium but before this desicion came around I was working on my Shuttle AK31 v3.1 and come to find out I ordered the wrong cpu when after I upgraded my bios to handle the xp2100+ cpu 1.73Ghz Thurobroud and was running the 1900+ 1.60Ghz Palimieo or what ever it was called but find out it would on;y run the paliminio chip so I was like well I don't want to overclock my board and put any stress on the board so I will put that 1900+ back in so I take my computer apart and go to take off the volcano 7+ fan made by thermaltake and requires a screwdriver flathead and a bit of skill in there words be carfull and use our product at your risk...lol
    anyways the scredriver sliped and broke off a micro transister and I was like oh crap and could had cryed for damaging my babie but I belive it was time to move on and that is why it hapened when it did hehe..
    but I called tigerdirect to get back on to the subject and told them what I was confused about and magell was his name I believe and he said yes it was a 3.00Ghz and the HT was what made it clock like a 3.06Ghz processor. So I was like wooo thats a relief and was so happy now I will order all of this below hope yo like my system hehe I know I will.

  • Can someone pls recommend this app of Skype Phone? + I used the Wi-Fi skype

    Good Evening!
    Can someone recommand a Mac friendly Skype phone that
    1. the base unit plugs into the (or Router) and the phone(s) are wireless
    (just like using a 2.4Ghz wireless phones on a cable router)
    2. To to be extra clear..... expansion phones that will work off the same base but it would be a drag to have to buy each phone with a base station just to expand the system.
    3. I used the Skype Wi-Fi phone this week if anyone is interested just post and I'll post my findings and what applications and lifestyle it may or maynot fit.

    Hi Bill, I will follow below with what I've found but you'll have to see if it fits your application....
    My application: To lower my Cell Phone bill to it's min. and to cancel my home cable ip phone from CableVision.
    Phone: SMC Wi-Fi Skype phone
    Technically the phone sets up in a snap, first make sure you charge it the full 8 hours. No software required so the lack of Mac Phone support is not an issue here. There is s/w required however for the Skype account on your computer and now Skype does have a package out that works just fine with Mac.
    After setting up your Skype account and charging your phone you should be ready to go.
    Important to keep in mind: Skype is not a completely free service, if you live in the US you would pay approx $30 for SkypeIN for your own phone number of the Skype number and the ability to have any phone service, PSTN, Cell, Cable etc call you.
    If you wish to use this phone for outcalls as well, your will pay approx $0.02 per min. unless your calling Skype to Skype.
    In order to use your phone at home it's easy to for the phone to find a Wi-Fi network of yours and if need by enter it's security Key. Finding Wi-Fi networks outside the home is a different story.
    Please remember that there is no 911 service so there is a risk there. Perhaps and hopefully not you have an emergency in the home at 2AM your skype is not charged, what happens if your Cell is not charged, so the risk here is giving up your landline. As a single parent, too big of a risk for me.
    Inbound calls will ring both on the Skype phone and the Computer and I expect anywhere else you have the registered Skype service.
    I'm not crazy about the inability to only store contacts for Skype Users in the phone. Now I have to go to my Treo Cell phone and bring up the contacts to call out on my Skype phone just to save some min. on my cell plan. Not worth it. So should I keep the Skype wifi phone just to have incoming free calls? maybe as a cool item for on 10 year old so he does not want a cell phone anymore.
    I'm much more comfortable putting a Skype "Base" station in next to my Mac Desktop, attaching my presently owned Wireless phone base to that and using Skype as my Home service whereas I can use it as well on my Mac and use it as I travel on my MacBook Pro simply by using the iSight Mic built in to the MBP.
    Bottom line is that while the Skype service may be fun and find some usage, it's a long way from taking over the world but Skype knows this and appears perfectly fine with it's niche for now.
    Bottom Bottom line is if I work from home what does the Skype wifi buy me? Nothing at all and if I cancel my landline, I loose 911 which I'm not comfortable with.
    Perhaps when Skype becomes more mature and feature rich and there are ALOT more users for Skype to Skype calls I'll look again.
    Thanks
    Tom
