Is there an easy way to select Items randomly from a data structure?

Put simply, I want to implement a "bag" data structure. So, when i select an item I don't know which one i'm going to get. I want to be able to select all the items once (so no replacing of items i.e. selecting the same item twice in one session).
I can think of ways to implement it using random number generators and the like but does anyone know of a simple datastructure that will encapsulate this "bag" functionality and make my life simple. Hash tables maybe? Any pointers appreciated.
Chris.

I don't think there is anything like this in the collections framework but writing one as an extension of a vector could be simple. Something like:
public class Bag extends Vector {
private Random _random = new Random();
public Object pickRandom() {
return this.remove(this._random.nextInt(this.size()));
}To add objects to the bag you just use the add(Object o) method (specified by the List interface, implemented by Vector). To "grab" one just call pickRandom().

Is there an easy way to upgrade your OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6

is there an easy way to upgrade your OS from 10.5.8 to 10.6?
Thanks for your help

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
To upgrade, first buy Snow Leopard > http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
It's recommended to make a backup of your files. If the upgrade fails, you will lose data. After making the backup, insert the DVD and follow on-screen steps to upgrade.
That disc will install 10.6.3, so open  > Software Update, and install OS X 10.6.8

Is there an easy way to transpose 2 colors in Illustrator CS6?

I have a black and gold logo in Illustrator, and I want to change it so that everything that is now black will be gold and everything that is now gold will be black.
I tried select same fill, then used the eyedropper to change the gold to black, but then I realized if I do the same with the black, I will end up also selecting everything that I just changed.
I'm hoping there is some easy way around this I am not seeing. The only thing I can think of is maybe pasting the elements I've changed into a different layer and locking it.
But is there an easier way without having to move to a different layer?

it,
Here is an edited reply since it has proved impossible to edit the first post:
You may, for multiple objects of the same colour (presuming fills only, it may be done similarly with strokes and with combinations of fills and strokes):
1) Select one gold object and Select>Same>Fill Color, then set it to white (or whatever) in the Color palette;
2) Select one black object and Select>Same>Fill Color, then set it to gold;
3) Select one white (formerly gold) object and Select>Same>Fill Color, then set it to black.
The Select Same part is unnecessary for a single object of a colur, of course.

Is there an easy way to eliminate duplicate tracks from iTunes on a mac?

All of a sudden I have over 6,500 duplicate tracks in my iTunes. Not entire albums but many tracks from an album are duplicated. Is there an easy way to get rid of these tracks or do I have to do this one by one? Also why would this be happening? I have "Keep iTunes Media Organized" checked as well as "Copy files to iTunes when adding to library".

It is hard to say why. iTunes is unlikely to do this all its own and there is probably something you did like add a folder that is not part of the current media collection thinking it needed adding, but it had already been added in the past.
There is no simple, universal panacea for duplicates. You can try some of the suggestions below.
How to find and remove duplicate items in your iTunes library - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2905

Posts by turingtest2 about different types of duplicates and techniques- https://discussions.apple.com/thread/3555601 and https://discussions.apple.com/message/16042406 (Note: The DeDuper script is for Windows)
Frankly, I would do it manually. As you can see from turingtest2's post, some duplicates are not really duplicates and I would rather do it manually than discover that a script had removed my only copy of a file (yes, I have backups but I may not notice for a year or so a file is no longer there, by which time I would have overwritten the backup because I do not have drive space for storing a year's worth of weeky iTunes backups tens of GB in size).
I would also review how you add media to iTunes. It should not be producing all that many duplicates.

Is there any easy way to compare LIKE Addresses from one table, which contains 3rd party data, to another table, our database source

We have a 3rd party that is supplying us data and we need to compare the addressing between the 3rd party data to our source database addressing. I'd like to make it somewhat flexible meaning I'd like to somehow use the LIKE comparison rather than comparing
the exact address values. (I have noticed that the 3rd party addressing sometime has a leading <space> at the beginning of the address...why I'd prefer to use LIKE)
Is there any easy way to do this? Or does this dictate using a CURSOR and processing through the CURSOR of 3rd party data and plugging in the address LIKE as dynamic SQL?
Please let me know your thoughts on this and I appreciate your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Yes, it's possible and there are a variety of options but it's may not be for the faint of heart.
The last time I did it, I ended up taking several passes at the data.
1st pass was a straight up comparison with no modifications or functions.
2nd pass was the same but with all special characters removed.
3rd pass involved splitting the numeric portion of address and comparing just the street numbers and used a double meta-phone function (kind of like a soundex on steroids) to compare the street names.

Officejet 8600 is there an easy way to print in color occasionally?

I have an HP Officejet 8600 connected by cable to an un-networked desktop running Windows 7 Pro. I have the default set to "Print in Gray Scale" with "Black Ink Only". I would like an easy way to occasionally print in color without the multi-step hassle of going through advanced options that also change the default parameters each time. Is there a way to install a second driver for the same printer? That way I could name one "HP 8600 Black Ink" and one "HP 8600 Color" with different default settings. That would be a much easier way to occasionally print in color. My previous HP printer had the capability to select custom "Presets" from a drop-down menu, but that seems to be missing from the 8600 software.

Hello there @SKman , Welcome to the Forums! I hope you enjoy your experience
I understand you are looking for an easier way to occasionally print in color with your Officejet 8600. I would like to share my suggestions that may help you with your concern.
First of all, you can have two drivers installed on your computer, one USB and one wireless, and have the driver settings different (wireless driver to print black only and the USB driver to print in color).
The other option for you to try is to have your "black ink only" setting selected in the print driver itself (seems like you have it set this way currently) so all jobs will automatically print in black ink only. When say you are printing a document in color, change the print settings in the program you are printing from to print in color for that single job, that way the default settings in the printer driver are still set to print in black and only that one job will print in color.
I hope my post was helpful!

Message was edited by: jackpot!

Hi. We just got a new laptop and did this (thanks to Chris CA!): Note this was from a Windows/XP to a Windows/Vista.
"On your original computer (XP), go to /My Documents/My Music.
Select the iTunes folder and drag it to your external drive. * buy a flash drive instead of using cds *
Install iTunes on the new computer (Vista).
Launch iTunes and let it do it's stuff.
Quit iTunes.
Connect the external drive.
Select the folder on the external and drag it to /Music on the C: drive.
It should ask if you want to replace the items on the C: drive.
Select Yes.
When it's finished, launch iTunes and everything should be there."
Hope this helps!

Is there any easy way to migrate painter reports from 4.7 Enterprise to 6.0

Dear All
We are being upgraded from 4.7 Enterprise to ECC 6.0 . The issue that we are facing is that company has more than 200 report painter reports ( on special ledger) and I was wondering if there is any easier way to migrate it to ECC than redoing the whole work. What I mean to say is that, is there any tool/program/tcode that we can use for copying/editing purpose of the reports in ECC 6.0 to be based on flex ledger.
Thanks

Hello
Why do you need to transport the reports? Upgrade to 6.0 should keep your
old reports from 4.7.
In any case transaction GR57 allows you to export them to local file in C:\ and GR58 will import them. I have tested between systems of different releases and
it worked correctly.

Is there an easy way to get GPS coordinates from Maps.app in Mavericks?

My DSLR doesn't have a GPS built in, but I like to Geo-tag some of my photos. I usually just take a pic with my iPhone and then copy the geo data (GPS coordinates) and paste into the photos (in Adobe Lightroom). Unfortunately, I didn't have my phone with me. I have the location stored as a bookmark in Maps, but I don't see any easy way to just pull coordinates.

Hi,
I am doing the same thing too. I have to call my reports thru menu. I tried web.show_document in my menu and it works. I also added paramform=yes and it gives the report parameters, but I want to give the user the choice of format for the reports. eg. pdf, html, excel, etc. instead of hardcoding it.
Could you please give me some idea on how can I do that??
Thanks.

Is there an easy way to know if a vi within a LLB not being use by a Labview Application

To All,
I have developed a Labview application over a year that contains a number of LLBs. There are significant number of VIs within those LLB files that were written but have not been called by the application. I am trying to optimize all LLB files to exclude those unused VIs. Because there are many of them, the task to find out which Vi is being used and which one is not become very tedious. First question: Is there a way to automate the process? Second question: Does a compiled Labview application include all used and unused Vis from the LLBs in the .exe file? I am very appreciate any inputs from this community.

In pre-LV 8 you could do a "Save with options..." and choose development distribution, single prompt preserve hiarchy and LV will pick-up all of the used VI's and plomp them down in a new location leaving all of the used behind as well as fixing up a of the linkages to point at the new location.
In LV 8 and beyond you can create a Source Distribution in the project and acoomplish the same thing.
In LabVIEW 8+, you can get something similar to the first option by selecting "save for previous" and then pick the existing version (yes, it's there!).

Is there an easy way to download my music from the iCloud to iTunes library on my new PC desktop so I can sync my iPod? I have iMatch and cannot figure out how to do it in one fell swoop rather than by downloading each song, which will take forever!

Hi,
I have taken over my son's old PC desktop tower as it has more memory than my old PC. I installed iTunes on it and have accessed via my iMatch account my music library that's in the iCloud. I need to download it to the iTuned library on the desktop so I can sync my iPod. I can only see how to do it song-by-song, which will take forever for my almost 5000 songs. Is there a way to dowload the entire library in one fell swoop, letting it download without me having to do each song individually or monitor it?
Thanks,
RSG

Is there an easy way to suppress debug messages from plugin.jar?

When using the plugin.jar library (included in JRE 1.4.2 and 1.5)
my Java Console is riddled with tons of debug messages like:
<<< ProxyClassLoader: defined LiveConnectProxy class. >>>
<<< Here're the permissions you've got: >>>
<<< java.security.Permissions@b614d0 (
(java.net.SocketPermission 127.0.0.1 connect,accept,resolve)
)I'm using the plugin.jar (replacing use of the old netscape.jar)
to bridge communication between Java Applets and JavaScript.
Each time the Applet calls back to the JavaScript side,
the callback JavaScript function makes a call to parseInt() to
convert one of the parameters passed from a string to an integer.
Each time parseInt() is called, the message above appears
in the Java Console.
I traced down the source code for this message to a debug()
statement inside the plugin.jar's class loader, but I'm not sure
how to suppress it easily.
Does anyone have any ideas I could try?
Here's the code from the Java-side:
synchronized( this )
     try
          final JSObject window = JSObject.getWindow( applet );
          if( window != null )
               final String[] stringArgs = new String[3];
               stringArgs[0] = labelName;
               stringArgs[1] = labelDisplayName;
               stringArgs[2] = labelValue;
               log.debug(stringArgs[0]);
               log.debug(stringArgs[1]);
               log.debug(stringArgs[2]);
               window.call("MyJavascriptCallback", stringArgs);
          else
               log.error("Javascript window unavailable.");
     catch( final JSException e )
          // Note: Occasionally, getWindow() will throw an exception
          // without any meaningful reason.
          // ( http://www.raditha.com/blog/archives/000938.html )
          // Possible cause: This can send updates at a fraction of a
          // second. This may be causing issues within the Plugin.jar
          // used to handle the JavaScript callback.
          log.debug("JSException", e);
}

Here's what I've found out...
The messages are coming from the MRJPlugin.jar provided by Firefox.
Within the netscape.oji.ProxyClassLoaderFactory class,
the following line...
System.out.println("<<< " + message + " >>>");
...appears to be the cause and cannot be turned off by a configuration setting.
The home URL for the MRJPlugin.jar is:
http://www.mozilla.org/oji/MRJPlugin.html
The last time this library had an update released was in 10/31/2000.
However, this is the Mozilla source; not Firefox.
Although changing the MRJPlugin.jar source to remove this line will appear
to fix the problem, I'm not sure of the best way to distribute the updated
MRJPlugin.jar without conflicting with Firefox's update process.
Any thoughts?
