Extra credit question for class

hey guys my physics teacher gave me an extra credit question to answer. judging by my grade in physics...i could really use the help. Why does the mac labtop use a 2 prong charger but the extension cord is a 3 prong?

Arent you supposed to do the homework yourself?
you need to read about the differences:

  • Some questions for class project? Trying to learn more about the iPhone

    Hey guys, I am looking for some quick feedback on the iPhone and possibly the iPad for a class assignment. If anyone could share information on the following questions that would be fantastic. Thanks!
    1. What are some of the disadvantages of Apple not providing Flash/USB for its products(iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch)?
    2. Why should customers buy an iPad (no USB) rather than the Kindle (USB ports)?
    3. Why do you think Apple doesn't provide Flash/USB ports to its products (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch)?
    4. Would the lack of USB/Flash in Apple products affect your decisions to purchase Apple products versus a competitor's product?
    5. Do you expect that Apple will begin to incorporate technologies such as USB/Flash in the future as competitor products begin to steal market share?
    6. Apple views Flash as a dying technology. Steve jobs has even compared not supporting Flash on the iPad to Apple dropping support for floppy drives. Do you believe there is any value to this analogy and why?
    7. What do you think could be some good aspects of no USB on the iPad?
    8. What affect will the implementation of HTML5 have on the issues with iPad's lacking Flash capabilities?
    9. How did you gain an interest in Apple how would you rate that product and would it it recieve a higher rating if it provided USB/Flash?
    10. Would you be more interested in purchasing a Apple product if USB use was provided? Or would this quality not have any affect on your decision to purchase the product?

    This sounds more like a marketing survey...

  • Class question for Class

    I'm a dumb novice and have an assingment for school...
    I have to write a program that stores, manipulates and print student info
    I have to write 2 classes Student and Admisions. Student will have the fields I need and Admissions will manipulate the data.
    Student must have the following fields - Name , Address, Date (as Classes) and ID (as a string variable identifing the student)
    My question is if Student is supposed to be a class and also it's fields are to be classes, how do I write those classes(fields) under the class Student (are they supposed to be methods of the class student, is that what they mean?) Or do I just write other classes within the class Student ?
    Can someone show me an example how Name should be written within Student ? (Name is to have fields FirstName and LastName)
    Help!!!!!

    My question is if Student is supposed to be a class
    and also it's fields are to be classes, how do I
    write those classes(fields) under the class Student
    public class Student {
        private String name;
        private Date date;
        etc.
    (are they supposed to be methods of the class
    student, is that what they mean?)No. The fields will be objects (well references to objects, actually). You might have get/set methods to access those fields, but the fields themselves are just variables of the appropriate type.
    Or do I just write
    other classes within the class Student ?You don't define those classes inside Student. Student will use String, Date, and possibly other classes defined elsewhere--either in the core API, or by you. (Looks like just cor API here, but I didn't look that closely.)

  • Question for a class

    Hey, I'm doing basic flash in a school class right now, and I
    have a question...
    ... there's a "vegetable term" used to describe
    following/seeing the motion path an object is taking. Do any of you
    know what it is?

    Not really being a pest - but I always thought that the
    "proper" use of a forum is to search for the
    answer forst - so...in theory, anyone asking the same
    question that has been asked several times
    within the past few days, should really not be awrded with
    getting the extra credit, because in
    reality, all these duplicate extra credit questions just help
    bottleneck the forum's bandwith - an
    improper use of any public forum - and, I now realize that I
    myself am being hypocritical for
    replying and thus adding to the bottleneck myself.

  • Can somebody give some real time questions for alv report

    hi guru
    can somebody give some real time questions for alv report.
    answers also.
    regards
    subhasis.

    hi,
    The ALV is a set of function modules and classes and their methods which are added to program code. Developers can use the functionality of the ALV in creating new reports,  saving time which might otherwise have been spent on report enhancement
    The common features of report are column    alignment, sorting, filtering, subtotals, totals etc. <b>To implement these, a lot of coding and logic is to be put. To avoid that we can use a concept called ABAP List Viewer (ALV).</b>
    Using ALV, we can have three types of reports:
       1. Simple Report
       2. Block Report
       3. Hierarchical Sequential Report
    <b>Reward useful points</b>

    I do this all the time, I put my MBP to a 60 inch Sharp. If you have the video working do the simple thing first. Check to make sure your sound is on your TV and Mac. Then if that doesn't work go to System Prefrences and under sound go to a tab called Output and see if your TV is listed and if it is change it to that setting

  • How to use the same credit card for more than one customer master

    Hi,
    this is a question for consultants at least a little familiar with SAP business partner, Customer-vendor-intergration cvi, contract accounting:
    My customer wants to store the same credit card with more than one customer. Arguments are that family members or partners may mutually agree to use the same credit card for their distinct purchases.
    I never tried with amazon or the likes but I know that SAP validates the uniqueness of credit cards.
    I found 6 code line where the message (V/)005 "Payment card &1 &2 is already assigned to customer &3" prohibits duplicate assignment.
    Even if I create a couple of enhancements to suppress the error, I don't know how the system will work.
    The customer does not like the idea of using alternative payer.
    Did you ever face the same problem and how did you solve it?
    Much Thanks in advance
    Best regards
    Clemens

    thanks

  • Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it?  Thank you

    Can I creat an new iCloud account and make it the primary one for my backups and buy extra iCloud storage for it?  Thank you

    Hey Hindfromlondon,
    Welcome to Apple Support Communities.  Since you are posting here, I take it you already have an Apple ID.  
    You can setup that Apple ID to work with iCloud.  See:
    Set up your Apple ID for iCloud and iTunes - Apple Support
    And you usually want to stick with one Apple ID as having multiples can cause confusion (especially with purchases).
    Frequently asked questions about Apple ID - Apple Support
    What is an Apple ID?
    An Apple ID is a user name you use for everything you do with Apple. Creating an account for an Apple service, such as the iTunes Store or the App Store, creates an Apple ID. Apple ID allows you to access other Apple services. You don't have to create a new account for each service—just use your Apple ID.
    For a complete list of all of the places you can use an Apple ID, see Where do I use an Apple ID.
    and further down:
    I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs. 
    If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
    Regarding iCloud storage check out
    iCloud storage upgrades and downgrades - Apple Support
    I encourage you to read all about it as there's lots of information out there.
    Take care,
    Nubz

  • Please answer a programming question for an admin

    I'm not a programmer (although my interest is growing), so I can't answer this question in a discussion regarding how Win32API w/OLE and COM is SO much better than programming for Unix/OS X applications.
    The original discussion was in regards to OS X's superior Unix based security, he devolved to this. Having only begun my venture into programming, his questions are a little above my head at this point. I'm also interested (as an amature programmer), how this would be accomplished in OS X/Unix.
    Thanks in advance.
    Here's his position:
    *(1st entry)*
    I have unsed Windows and many flavors of Unix and I have written programs in Assembler, Fortran, Pascal, Cobol, RPG, Smalltak, Basic, PowerBuilder, Delphi, C, C++, C#, Java, and Perl, and I have been programming for over 20 years, so I do have extensive knowledge about programming.
    So I have one question for you:
    If you had to build a business application that has to allow users to, spell and grammer check, and perform financial calculations, and render the HTML, how would you compare the effort to do this in Windows versus that in Linux, AIX, Solaris or any other Unix operating system?
    I can make this business application have these features in ONE DAY on Windows, because COM and OLE lets me, use Word to spell and grammer check, Excel to do the financial calculations, and IE to render the HTML!
    I make my living building complex customized business software, and Windows allow me to build these applications by myself in weeks, when it would take me and a team of programmers months to do these same things in Unix because of the lack of an the Win32 API, COM, and OLE, or I would have to BUY third party libraries that did these things, and deal with the licensing, versioning, and vendor problems that go with them, and none of those third party librabries would be close to Word, Excel, and IE in CAPABILITY!
    HONESTLY tell me and others reading this thread how you would go about create the customized business application I described above by yourself in a Unix instead of Windows, and tell us how many MONTHS or YEARS it would take you, or how you would have to BUY some other third party libraries to do what Word, Excel, and IE!
    Anyone who thinks a Unix has more CAPABILITIES than Windows, has never used Win32API/COM/OLE/.Net, and does not build customized complex business software for a living, because we people that do are the reason that you find some much customized business desktop software for Windows, and so little for any Unix.
    I have nothing against Unix, and it is great for simple business tasked server software, but for complex business tasked desktop software Windows with Win32API/COM/OLE/.Net wins hands down!
    *(2nd Entry)*
    A System administrators view of an operating system and an application developers view are entirely different, and the Win32API/COM/OLE/.NET simply make my job so much easier, and you simply don't understand because you do not have to deal with the "dirty' details of making what a user wants, which is why your definition of "integration" and mines are totally different!
    With the spell check you talked about, how will you keep in in synch with the dictionary in Word where the user is constantly adding and removing words?
    No, you would have the user to have to maintain two different spell check dictionaries, and you would totally ignore the grammer check requirement!
    Cutting and pasting data between applications is simple integration, and not the complex type that I am talking about.
    Can you make your application display and use the MacGourmet menus appear in its own window, and to access and use the MacGourmet functionality (ie. search for a recipe) in its own window?
    Give me one example of a Unix application that can display the menus of another application, yet alone control its features!
    Of course you can't, because you need COM and OLE!
    I am quite familiar with different flavors of Unix, but those operating systems do not have the rich API and program integration features namely COM and OLE that Windows has, because it violates the Unix idea of security by process isolation!
    Yes that idea of process isolation keeps the operating system safe from malicious code in applications and from one application taking the others down, but you lose the power of programs working together, and you simply cannot build the type of customized business applications that I build by myself, without reinventing the wheel over and over and without having a large team with lots of programmers.
    For example, my customers and millions of others spend all day working in Word and Excel, and the Windows idea that I can transparently integrate my complex business applications right in Word and Excel menu, and into their templates and macros, is why third party developers like me prefer Windows over Unix, regardless of how much better security in Unix is.
    Do not get me wrong, Java improves business application development on Unix, but unfortuantely it is not feasable to rewrite ever legacy application in Java, and Java does not integrate well with other programming languages.
    I used to code business application for both IBM MVS and Sun Solaris, and I never want to go back to those "bad" old days again, once I took the time to learn how to PROPERLY code using Win32API/COM/OLE/.NET!

    At risk of feeding the troll I'll wander in here:
    NOTE: Since this is an Apple programming boards and I have limited experience programming on traditional Unix systems (and most of that in college) I will confine my answers to the area I know.
    If you had to build a business application that has to allow users to, spell and grammer check, and perform financial calculations, and render the HTML, how would you compare the effort to do this in Windows versus that in Linux, AIX, Solaris or any other Unix operating system?
    I can make this business application have these features in ONE DAY on Windows, because COM and OLE lets me, use Word to spell and grammer check, Excel to do the financial calculations, and IE to render the HTML!
    Note that this scenario assumes the user has Microsoft office installed. The person argues that they don't have to purchase libraries to program but what they are effectively doing is simply transferring that cost to user. I don't have to purchase libraries but everyone of my users needs to. Good for you, very good for Microsoft but bad for your customer - IMHO. OK, I know "But all Windows business users have Office installed already." When it comes free with the system then I'll retract my objection.
    Under OS X and Cocoa many of these functions are intrinsic to the system layer and do not require any applications to be installed. Using Cocoa you can write a simple Word processor that has rulers, full font manipulation (including kerning, spacing and leading), Document Save and Load, Printing, Export to PDF as well as spell-checking in under 10 lines of actual code. Adding a custom file type and icon for full system integration will add another 5 minutes to your programing.
    In case you think I'm blowing smoke here is a tutorial from 2002 (yes, this has been possible for over 5 years) outlining the 8 line Word Processor build in Cocoa. http://www.stone.com/TheCocoa_Files/What_s_sofunny.html
    And yes, Cocoa also includes Webkit so I can add full HTML rendering by dragging in a WebKit window to my user interface. For an experienced Cocoa programmer this certainly sounds like less than a day of programming - in fact it sounds like a good tutorial for a middle-experienced training day or 2 day class in Cocoa.
    I won't include the link to the 1 line web browser you can build in Cocoa using Webkit because it's shorter than the description. Feel free to search for it if you want to.
    HONESTLY tell me and others reading this thread how you would go about create the customized business application I described above by yourself in a Unix instead of Windows, and tell us how many MONTHS or YEARS it would take you, or how you would have to BUY some other third party libraries to do what Word, Excel, and IE!
    BUT this is all done from the stock system that is on every OS X computer not simply those with Office installed. Obviously you'd need to add some features that were more complicated than this - because any halfway decent programmer could turn this stuff out - and polish takes a while but to meet the requirements of the challenge it would take 2 days tops.
    Is every *nix programming environment like this? I don't know I can only answer for the system that I have experience with and is the concern of this board. If you really have questions regarding *nix programming then I suggest you find an appropriate board and troll^H^H^H^H^H ask there.
    If you're ever serious about programming on the Mac feel free to stop by and actually take a look at it. I think you'll be surprised.

  • A/R Credit Memo for A/R Reserve Invoice

    Hi guyz,
    I have a question for A/R Credit Memo. Hope anyone can help.
    Steps:
    1. I created an Sales Order, let say "Item A" with quantity 100 pcs.
    2. I copied my Sales Order to A/R Reserve Invoice but i customized the quantity to 70 pcs (Sales Order still open for quantity 30).
    3. I created an A/R Credit Memo, copied from my last A/R Reserve Invoice (from step no. 2), because there is a revision in the unit price. My Credit Memo is exaclty same with my A/R Reserve Invoice.
    4. I created a new A/R Reserve Invoice, copied from my Sales Order (from step no. 1) with quantity 70 pcs again.
    After i do all my activities above, i found that my Sales Order's Status become CLOSED. Whereas, it should be still OPEN because there is outstanding quantity 30 pcs. Why it happened ? I don't find any reasons for this condition.
    Thank you.

    But A/R Credit Memo is to reverse A/R Reserve Invoice / A/R Invoice, right ? So the quantity should be back to 100 pcs.
    Or A/R Credit Memo is just to reverse the Journal ? If it so, i think it is not so helpful in ERP. Because we still need to create New Sales Order if we make a mistake in Invoice.
    Is there any chance that we do not need to make new Sales Order for this situation ?
    Thank you.
    Regards,
    Elsa

  • Credit Memo for Returns PO

    Hi,
    I've created a PO with two items.  One normal item and one return item and posted the GR and IR.   The invoices was paid also.
    Due to some reasons I want to reverse the originally posted invoice.  Since it's paid and cleared, system would not allowing me to cancel the invoice using MR8M.
    The next option I've is to post a credit memo.   Here system is not allowing me to post the credit memo in any manner.  I've tried in below methods
    a) Credit Memo for both normal and return item.   - Here  system is adding the value of returns item twice and crediting the vendor instead of debiting.
    b) Individual Credit memo for normal item    and   Invoice for return item. -  Here normal item is ok, but while posting Invoice for returns item, system throwing error saying amount is negative.
    What ever the way system is not allowing me to post the document.  
    Can anybody help me in this matter. 
    Thanks in advance,
    Mallik

    Usually there is a functional different between the normal PO and return PO. When you combine together
    the following questions are popped up im my head.
    Q1. How to distinguish your doc type while creating PO?
    Q2. When you perform GR, did you do it for both normal and return items?
    Q3. When you perform GI (for returns), How did you perform?
    Q4. How the invoice identify whether it is meant for normal PO or return PO (Ofcourse - return PO, we ususally do credit memo)
    If you get the answer for above questions, you will get answer for your questions.
    Regards,

  • SOME SIMPLE QUESTIONS FOR ALL OF YOU

    hi,
    I have some questions for all of you.
    1. Oracle uses cgi (even asp!!! I've seen an asp page somewhere on an Oracle's site but this moment I don't remember where perhaps it is asp->cgi). Why ?
    Oracle doesn't support their techologies
    (Pl/SQL, Jsevlets,XML) ?
    2. Oracle says that has just released a
    new product for mobiles called "Portal2Go".
    I tried to install this product on NT with OAS 4.8.1.
    I had many problems during the installation and after many tries finally I did it(thanks God). but the problems continue...
    many Jsp errors (from the "tested" supplied apps). My question is:
    a. This product is in an early stage (many installation errors.. just a baby) and I think is stable for Sun Solaris but not on NT.
    b. You Oracle "experts" (i.e. oracle staff, NOT YOU guys) tell me ONE advantage to use you product (I'm an oracle developer for 6 years now):
    You say that I can PORT my existing app in any device and Web (through XML). This is a joke. Mobiles,PalmPCs,Web etc. have different requirements (content,display etc).The scope is different.. so this is absolutely FALSE (to use a boolean).
    This release is user unfrienlty. Why.. tell me WHY to pay for a product and for extra hardware (read the product technical reqs!!) to do the SAME THINK
    I do NOW with existing sources.
    I've developed an app for my company's employees using existing version of DB (8.0.5),pure pl/sql and a WAP GATEWAY.NOTHING LESS NOTHING MORE.
    please answer. Any comment welcomed...
    maybe I'm wrong maybe I'm not.
    PS.WHERE THE WAP GATEWAY/SERVER IS. I searced the cd and..nothing :-) ?
    thanks

    Portal-to-Go is a wireless portal server, the first version was released November 1999.
    The problems you describe that mobiles, Palm devices, etc all have different characteristics is one of the key reasons for Portal-to-Go. It allows any service to be displayed on any device by generating content in an appropriate format for specific devices. This way you can take into consideration the size of the screen, the display characteristics, etc.
    It is 'stable' on Solaris and NT, though it is true that the installation procedure of the CD is for Solaris only. The product is not currently available on OTN, so the installer restrictions should have been explained to you when you obtained the CD.
    Why Portal-to-Go? Here's three reasons:
    1. Inherent problems of the User Interface for a wireless device, so we provide a way personalise the UI to improve navigation and allow commonly used parameters to be saved as stored preferences through the portal.
    2. Differences in the characteristics between wireless devices make it hard to support all type without re-creating content and applications for each specific case. With Portal-to-Go, the same service can be accessed from any device.
    3. Lack of content available for WAP and other wireless devices. We have tools to quickly create wireless services from existing Web sites as well as an application platform for creating new Java or database applications for wireless devices.
    You are correct that the product does not have a WAP gateway.
    I'm not sure where you are located, but feel free to contact me offline. I can answer any specific questions, or get you contact with a local Oracle representative.
    At the moment, if anyone wants to obtain a copy of Portal-to-Go, you should contact your local Oracle representatives.

  • Trying to update my credit card for Creative Cloud account but chat support is always repeating the same thing?

    I'm just trying to update my credit card info for my Creative Cloud account, it's been 6 times I've contacted chat support.
    Every time they repeat the same questions & answers over & over.
    "What's the name on the card?"
    -I give it to them.
    "It will take 4 to 5 hours to update."
    -I wait a day, same problem, then contact them again, same question & same answer. They don't give me a reason or any indication why my card didn't get charged.
    I re-phrase my questions, always same answer:
    "Your payment details are updated, your account will be activated in 4-5 hours."
    Are they robots?
    Is there actually somebody on the end of the chat, is it possible to talk to a supervisor or someone that could help me give you money so my account doesn't expire?

    Well, today my tools are going to be deactivated because my account is expiring.
    Still no solution or feedback on the status of the issue relating to the fact that my valid credit card is stuck in a processing limbo in their payment system.
    The biggest lesson learned is that subscription software & cloud based services are too risky for a professional production pipeline.
    Imagine if I had employees and a huge deadline this week, I would have to explain to my clients that the reason I can't deliver is because Adobe can't process my credit card for whatever reason, and they deactivated my tools.
    Now, I probably won't be able to work today but at least this situation as forced me to re-evaluate how I'm going to build my new workflows and those of my clients.
    I was actually planning to convert my video production pipeline to Adobe Premiere but now, it's guaranteed I'm staying with Final Cut.
    Same thing for my photo retouching & motion workflows, I'm stripping out every Adobe Cloud tool from it.

  • Some dvi questions for those who really know there stuff!

    Hi all, haven't lurked these forums in a few weeks but just had a quick question for those who wanna build up some "points". I'm trying to connect my MBP 15" (1.83ghz) to my Dell LCD 26" T.V. via DVI. Anyhoo, the DVI port on an MBP is a DVI-I (Dual link 24 + 5 pin) fenmale port while my Dell LCD sports a DVI-D (Dual link 24 + 1 pin) female port. Anyhoo, I went to my local Circuit City store and picked up a 6.6ft DVI-D (Single link 18 + 1 pin) male cable to hook both devices up. Should this work? If those have no idea what I'm talking about, I've included a link with a picture of allt he different DVI ports:
    http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/59/Dvitypes.png/180px-Dvitypes.png
    If I haven't explained myself well, please post and I'll do my best to clarify.

    Am I missing something? Do you actually have a problem making this work? If the plugs you chose are mechanically compatible (and both are DVI D, dual-link), then there should not be a problem.
    Ah. I see the concern. The extra four pins. I believe they make the connector able to supply hybrid DVI-A and DVI-D. The Mac output is hybrid so it can easily be adapted drive a VGA monitor, too.
    I think you should be fine.
    I have a ViewSonic 1600x1200 LCD monitor with a DVI (single) and it works superbly with the Mac.
