Markoul, want to get out of Greece?

The government of Greece is making heroic efforts to humiliate the nation in front of the entire world, by banning all electronic games. That's right; something as innocent as playing computer chess on your laptop in a hotel lobby is now a crime with penalties of up to three months in stir and a fine of 10,000 euros.
The purpose behind this charming legislation is to crack down on Internet gambling (which already was illegal) -- or, rather, to enable legislators to enact their little public dance of righteous aversion to Internet gambling.

Yeah, I read about it. Curious descision. Completely unenforcable (look at the amount of German Counter-Strike players to get an idea of just how unenforcable).
Markoul, you have my support in this time of mild distress .

I wonder who came up with this news text. I've seen the exact same text in at least three different languages on a wide variety of websides, videotext and paper media (altough quality papers leave out the dance bit cause it's liable to pass as libel).

If it's in recovery mode, your stuff is already gone.

Got String= "100 600" and want to get out (length of first number not const

Ive got String= "100 600" and want to get out
the value 600 into int.
Length of first number is not const : it can be 100 or 3000
How can how do it ?
10x for the help

It would depend on the format of your string. If you can gurantee that the format will always be "number number" then you can use the StringTokenizer to split the two numbers and take the second one. The code would look similar to this:
String s = "100 600";
StringTokenizer st = new StringTokenizer(s, " ");
//--- This "scrolls" past the first number.
st.nextToken();
String num = st.nextToken();
The variable num will always have the second number.
Hope this helps.

I had a similar problem, but it seems I've found the fix. I see you have an Acer as well, if it's a notebook I bet it'll work for you too. (I'm on a Acer Travelmate)
Check my post here and see if that helps.

I want to get out of ios 8 and back into ios 7

I have just updated to IOS8 from IOS7 and find the ipad useless. I wish to undo IOS8. any ideas ?

Are you talking to yourself? No need to use the forum to do it..just yap away to yourself in person. And no, you didn't award yourself any points either.

IPhoto: I clicked Enter Full Screen by mistake, now I can't get out of it. The button in View to exit full screen does not work. I cannot see any other way to exit full screen. In full screen, I cannot see my events, nor can I do any quick fixes.

I accidentally got into Full Screen mode in iPhoto, and can't figure out how to get out of it. The last item in View is unresponsive (Exit full Screen). I've looked online but can't find any way to get out of iPhoto full screen--no arrows show on top right or bottom right. I cannot find 'events' or crop photos, the only option I have is to scroll through a certain number of photos that I don't want to see. Please, I just want to get out of Full screen mode. Please help. Thanks.

Give this a try:
1 - delete the iPhoto preference file, com.apple.iPhoto.plist, that resides in your
User/Home/Library/ Preferences folder.
2 - delete the contents the following folder: User/Library/Containers/com.apple.iPhoto
3 - reboot, launch iPhoto and try full screen again.
NOTE: For Mavericks and Yosemite, go to your Home folder and use the View ➙ Show View Options menu to bring the this window:
where you can check the Show Library Folder checkbox.

Anyone know how to get out of the edge program?

I dropped my old phone in the toilet and it was not time for an upgrade. Therefore, I went to the get a phone under the Edge Program. I specifically asked the rep at the store if I could go back to two year contract after I paid off the 50% of the program and he said yes. I hate this program. I only did it because I needed a phone and was not due an upgrade. Now I understand that the only way I can get out of the Edge Program is to pay off the entire balance of the phone...which is outrageous. I no longer want to pay monthly installments. I want to pay a one time 2-year upgrade fee and start a new contract. It is my understanding my only choice is to pay off the entire edge or return the phone to Edge up. Problem is my phone has a small crack that I didn't realize was there until my son told me about it. If you look at the phone normal you don't see it but if you look at it from an angle you can see the crack.
I only want to get out of Edge. I will have paid off 50% by January and want to go back to a normal 2-year agreement...but I do not want to return the phone although I will if I have to, that is if they will take it back with a crack. Otherwise, I would need to pay the insurance to get a new phone and then turn it in. This still cost me money. I am contemplating just paying off the rest of the balance and then maybe it will say I can get a new two-year contract, like it does for the other phones on my account.
I have been a verizon customer way back when it was called Bell Atlantic Mobile and you would think they could do something for me since I have been a good customer all these years. I don't want to leave because I have four other phones and a tablet with Verizon but I will if I have too. I would obviously go to AT&T.
Does anyone, maybe a verizon rep, have any options for me?

I'm not a Verizon rep, just another customer like you. EDGE is a payment plan, or Rent to Own, or a lease program if you intend to keep upgrading. If you want off the EDGE program, you can pay off the total balance due on the phone and keep it, and then you can start a new two year contract with a different phone.
In order to return the phone at the 50% point, and be done with EDGE, the phone has to be in good working condition. The crack means it's not in good condition, so you will be charged the full price, whether you plan to EDGE up or go contract. Either way, you'll end up paying for the EDGE phone, over time or in a lump sum. It was one way to get a new phone when you were not eligible for the discounted price on your previous phone, but you need to fulfill that obligation before you can get another discounted phone.
Do you want a new phone/different phone? Look at eBay or swappa, or check with your friends who may have something you can borrow. Or simply keep using the EDGE phone until it's paid for, then look at options at that time.

I have an app on my phone that has a glitch.i want to get rid of the app so that i can re install it,but when i re istall,it comes from the cloud and still has the glitch. how do i remove an app from my cloud

I have an app that i want to get out of my cloud,can i do this ????? It has a glitch and wont work and when i come to re install, it comes from my cloud along with the glitch. Can anyone help ?

When you tap the iCloud download symbol it's downloading a fresh copy of the app from the App Store, not from your iCloud account. (Your previous purchases aren't stored in your iCloud account, they are stored in the App store and can be redownloaded from there.)
If the app still has a glitch, try contacting the app developer. Perhaps there's a problem with the app running with iOS 7.1.

If you cannot login you will have to go back to single user mode in order to reset a password.
Follow the instructions here:
http://www.macyourself.com/2011/08/20/how-to-reset-password-for-mac-os-x-10-7-li on/
excerpt:
Shut down your Mac and turn it back on while holding down the Command and S keys at the same time until your see a black screen with white text. This is known as Single User mode.
You can skip this step, but it’s recommended that you don’t because it will check the consistency of your hard drive. At the prompt, type fsck -fy and press Enter.
Once the disk check is complete and the prompt returns, type mount -uw / and press Enter.
Type launchctl load /System/Library/LaunchDaemons/com.apple.opendirectoryd.plistand press Enter.
Type ls /Users and press Enter. All of the usernames on the computer will be listed, which is helpful if you don’t know or remember what these are.
Type dscl . passwd /Users/username password while replacing username with one of the users displayed in the previous step and replacing password with the new password of your choice. Press Enter. You will likely get an error message about a file or directory not being found – it’s safe to ignore this.
Type reboot and press Enter.

How do I get out of an iMessage group chat?

How do I get out an iMessage?! Like I have searched every website and still can't find anyway to get out of it. Some of my friends are adding me in these group messages and I am constantly trying to figure out who on earth am I texting! Then my friends eventually tell me who they are and I have to make unwanted contacts in my contact book so I can remember who they are. And sometimes I'm texting my friends moms! I really want to get out of these iMessages. Someone help me. On the other websites I have been on it says it is not possible, but I'm not willing to give up yet this is my last hope please help me.

Use a new address for iMessage. Use a free gmail.com email address just for iMessage.
iOS 7 allows you to block phone numbers or e-mail addresses from contacting you via the Phone, FaceTime, or Messages

Getting out of my contract

I am so dissatisfied with the customer service that I have received from VZW over the last 10 months or so that I want to get out of my contract. Does anyone have any loopholes/suggestions? I am paying so much money and no one is willing to help me out - all they are interested in is getting my to pay MORE money. 10 years + a VZW customer - I really want out and need to figure out a way so that I can go back to affording my cell phones!

You can call customer service and cancel the contract, and your cell service. You will have an ETF to pay, based on the phone you purchased and how much time you have left in the contract.
If you are asking how to cancel the contract without paying the ETF, the only way would be to transfer the contract to someone else - find someone willing to take over the rest of the contract and then do an Assumption of Liability, turning the account over to them. You'd then be without a phone (unless the one who is taking over the contract has a Verizon phone and doesn't need yours).
That still leaves you with the dilemma of service for the phone you do have ... what phone is it? And can you work the plans to get one that you can afford and still use your current phone? You may be able to change your plan to a more affordable one and still keep your current account and phone...it would be helpful to know what plan and phone you have now so we can suggest ways to reduce your bill.

Get out DFU Apple TV 3

My Apple Tv (3rd gen) freezes in menu and i cant restore it in iTunes (Error 1611).
So i´ve heard that you should put your device in DFU mode, and apparently its really easy for 2nd gen, but for some reason, no-one knows how to do it in 3rd gen, not even Apple support!!
I just want to get out and use normally
Why does it have to be so hard? i mean it should be as easy as for the 2nd gen. I hope someone answers to this thread.
thanks so much (

it works by the way................................
