Duke Dollars Question

Hi,
I have posted couple of questions with DUke Dollars. I did not reward them because nobody answered my question. Now i can i use those dollars in my New Posts.
thanks.

You can also un-assign them (get them back) assuming Sun hasn't changed the web site lately, but I don't remember exactly the URL you have to hit. Search the forums for "reward.jsp" and see if you can find another post about doing that.

Assigning duke dollars

How do I award Duke dollars to the best respondent to my question?

After you post a question, there will be a hyperlink like "assign duke dollar" in the page of your post. Follow it to assign the duke dollar to your question. To reward the duke dollar to the response, you have to log in first, open your post, then you can see a icon in front of every repsponse, you can click the one you want to reward.

I wanna assign you ALL my Duke Dollars....

...for a new question i have BUT b4 I can do that I need to retrive back the duke dollars from my earlier messages that haven't been answered and have my dollars gathering dust...how on earth do i do that?

Silkm I have no issues with assigning you all my dukes from all those earlier questions...just go there, type anything and I will assign them to you if u can solve my query...
It's gotta do with setting the classpath...and yes, i have already been thru google and forums here...
This is what i do:
- Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables
- Click on Path in the System Variables section
- Click Edit and add C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin AFTER %SystemRoot%\system32;%SystemRoot%;%SystemRoot%\System32\Wbem;c:\Program Files\Common Files\Adaptec Shared\System;
- Next I go to DOS and get my C prompt to C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin
- I type javac helloworld.java and ENTER
- I get "javac is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
So then I go back to Start>Control Panel>System>Advanced>Environment Variables
- This time I click on New in the "User Variables for Gaurav" section(that's me) - after all i am logged in as Gaurav on my XP machine!
- I type Path in Variable Name and C:\Program Files\Java\j2re1.4.1_01\bin in Variable Value
- Save
- goto DOS
- type helloworld.java and get "javac is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file"
BTW i have installed j2re-1_4_1_01-windows-i586 on a XP machine
HELP!

SDN Forum points vs Sun Forum Duke Dollars

I believe that a points system is a great way to encourage participation by the community in problem solving.
With the points system in SDN, however, there is room for abuse, for example, by having people you know award points to you on threads.
I personally like the points reward system (Duke Dollars) on Sun's Developer Forums. In this scheme, you work with credits. Every user is given a certain amount of points (Duke Dollars) when they join. When you post a question, you can assign a number of Duke Dollars up front from your available credit as a reward to entice responses. You can also accumulate more Dollars by answering threads which have Dollars assigned.
Every month, Sun gives a gift to the user who has accumulated the most points.
I'm not sure that this solves the problem of users not assigning points for valid help, but, because users are working with limited credit, it does force them to be careful when assigning points, and prevents abuse as that mentioned above.
I would like to hear what other people think about this scheme. Perhaps there are aspects I have not considered.
Regards,
Martin

Would a moderator make it more positive?
Actually Craig went into each of the forums and published a "rules of engagement". Maybe that kind of a "sticky note" post would be the place to remind people about the inappropriateness of redundant questions (across various forums) and the confusion and poor sporting behavior associated with "copied" answers. I can ping Craig with that suggestion to add text if you think it makes sense to "remind" people in each of the respective forums.
Or..to be a little more provocative, we could suggest that community members who have a good track record of participation, collaboration, and exemplary attitude be given the moderator rights in forums where the activity volume might be too overwhelming for an SAP moderator alone to manage and given the rights to move content to a more appropriate thread.
This is what I meant about "self-policing". Also, perhaps the moderators (internal as well as SAP) could identify themselves in a sticky post and invite participants in those designated threads to track "abuses" or issues, thus identifying them and hopefully resolving them publically.
Strange, it reminds me that in old, Puritanical, America, of the 17th century community culprits were subjected to a public dunking or stocks when they broke the law. The purpose being that public condemnation sent a clear message to other "would be" misbehavers.... and thus deterred further bad conduct.
While a rather radical and unpleasant method it was an open way of dealing with abuses to the system.
Perhaps others can offer less extreme and more effective suggestions here

Duke Dollars?

How do I get duke dollars back if no-one answered question or response is not worthy.
thanks

You dont need to. If none of the responses were any good, you dont have to award dukes. If you did then changed your mind then thats tough.

Duke Dollars give away

What are Duke Dollars?

I would just like to know what Duke Dollars are and what they do for me, can I make money with them, can I feed the poor with them?

I was wondering myself. To answer your questions, looks like no and no.

InetAddress Timeout (Duke Dollars Available)

Hi people, am making a program that needs to change IP Addresses to domain names, in most cases this code works fine
InetAddress temp = InetAddress.getByName(ipAddress);
                try {
                    domainName= temp.getHostName();
                catch(UnknownHostException ex)
                { System.out.println("Could not find "+domainName);
            }However, many of the ip addresses will not find a domain name. it will take 5 seconds to discover this where as it will take no time at all to discover a correct domain name if one can be found. is there any way that i can timeout this action if it takes over 20 milliseconds to find a name.
Thank you for your help.
code to correct this will lead to ten duke dollars.

for a java help forum, why does nobody want to be at
all helpful, i am really stuck and would be really
greatful of some helpUm, hardly any time has passed yet. Don't start copping an attitude just yet...
But as alluded to, the duke dollars are utterly worthless. If I wanted 10 more dukes to add to my pile, I could (but wouldn't) just create another login ID, post a fake "question", answer myself with this ID, and award them to "myself".
Do you actually have a question, other than "will someone do my work/thinking for me"?

Cheap problem with duke dollars

i have 17 duke dollars but i can not give then
along with questions i ask...
what to do...

At the top of the thread, you should see a link saying "assign Duke Dollars". Click on this, and select how many from the drop-down box. Then click on the button "Assign Duke Dollars".
Next go back to the thread, and by each person's name you should see a little picture of a Duke with a green +. Click on that to assign Dukes to that person.

I'm not being given new Duke Dollars

Hey all,
I read through the FAQs and they say I'm supposed to get 10 Duke Dollars each month as long as I login at least once a month. I've been logging in and helping others with the little bit of knowledge I have (I'm still a beginner).. but I'm not getting any new Duke Dollars..
Is anyone else having the same problem?
Kenny

Oh Great, I wish I had known that before I gave all of
mine away... sigh how are newbies supposed to get
questions answered? I certainly can't answer other
people's questions to get dollars... I'm a fricking
newbie!I never answer questions based on dukes. I don't believe most people do either. So it shouldn't matter.
And even as a newbie it might be possible for you to answer some questions.

Hey! Give me Duke Dollars

I badly need duke dollars. Help me please, Help...Help....!

10 Dukes on a single question? Must be seriously hard. Some people look to see whether there are Dukes available for a question, but a lot don't. My approach is to add Dukes and assign them only when people give good answers - certainly you look silly assigning 10 Dukes and getting the answer "Check your CLASSPATH", and I suspect most people would feel embarrassed getting 10 Dukes for that.

How do you add Duke Dollars to a post???

How do you get the little Duke Dollars thingy to show up next to your post? There are no buttons to do so on the page where I'm ttyping this, nor on the preview page. Nor does it say anything about it in the Duke Dollars FAQ.

Oh never mind! I saw the option to add Dukes appear after the message was posted.
IMHO you should be able to add Dukes either on the form or the preview page.
