New Game Programmer In Need Of Help Choosing A Laptop!

hi, im sorry but i really need help with choosing a laptop. not sure where to post this. i just enrolled in game programming. and im currently on the hunt for a laptop that i can use for programming. i know a desktop is better. but sadly i cant carry it to school. after looking at Alienware, Razer, MSI and others. i kinda want to get an MSI laptop. any suggestions? ofcoz not the high end ones. thank you in advance!

A model with a Steelseries keyboard will by far be the best for you. What are your requirements - screen size/ storage/CPU/GPU/ screen real estate (4K/3k/1080/)/weight/ material - those requirements would help to narrow down the choices since there are so many... Also what country are you in and do you prefer to buy from one store or another?

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit content without actually downloading the explicit songs?

I'm new to itunes and need some help. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to download an album which has explicit songs without actually downloading the songs that are explicit?

See if there's a non-explicit version and download that? Just download the individual songs you want, and not the others?
Honestly, your phrasing doesn't make sense. You're asking how to download an album without downloading its tracks?

What does a new non-DE user need? | Help for a Wiki page

Hey Archers,
I'm using Arch with the Compiz Standalone Window Manager and I need some help for a project.
It turns out (who knew) that computers need a lot more to run smoothly than just a desktop and applications. You need network managers, gtk themes and much much more. Now, Desktop Environments such as GNOME and KDE provide a lot of these programs built-in, good for them, but I'm looking to build my system as dependency-free as I can and the big DE's don't really provide that. Especially GNOME just ropes me in whenever I want to use the tiniest piece of it (darn you gnome-keyring).
So I come to you fora, with a quest for information. I want to compile an overview of essential and useful applications with minimal dependencies that allow a CompizIndy user to build his system freely. And if I get enough information, I want to turn it into its own page for the Wiki so it becomes easier to get started with a birds-eye view of what you need to flesh out your system (not exclusively for CompizIndy btw). So please help me!
What applications/daemons/tools should a new system install? I'm not asking which ones are the best or worst or your favorites, just which kinds do you need --that aren't covered in the install guide--?
For example it's advisable to get:
Panel/dock
desktop manager
network manager
compositing manager
a tool for managing removable devices (ntfs-3g etc)
a packer/unpacker
a screensaver
power management
alt-F2 runcommand
custom keybindings
a user switch/logout manager
a volume manager
etc.
So what do you recommend? What do you need to get up and going?
Hoping to hear from you guys and girls,
Matthias
PS: if I'm doubling up on anything, please let me know and save me effort and embarassment ^_^

There are many threads on this, although individual ones asking for "the best app to do XXX". You could try searching those. Also Search for the LnF Awards threads. you might find a few ideas there. We also have wiki pages for light-weight applications which might be useful
Panel/dock none
desktop manager none
network manager netcfg
compositing manager none or xcompmgr (for basic compositing)
a tool for managing removable devices (ntfs-3g etc) udiskie or udev rules or devmon
a packer/unpacker coreutils eg - tar, bzip etc with an alias called "ex" in .aliases
a screensaver none
power management ???
alt-F2 runcommand gmrun
custom keybindings xbindkeys
a user switch/logout manager none
a volume manager see udiskie....
BTW, if this is for you, then simply install Arch and use a non DE based WM --- eventually you will figure out what you are missing

New in srm, i need some help

Hy everyone, i'm new in srm, i need to learn how to create a new user in the system, i can copy an user, but if the user is external i cannot write in the table t77s0.
Does someone has a tutorial?
Thanks a lot, Julieta

Hi Julieta,
In table t77s0, you can set indicators for HR replication according to note 550055.
After this, for users which were replicated from HR system, you should not modify it in SRM system, but only HR side and synchronize the changes.
Regards,
Ivy

HELP I need some help choosing the right laptop

Hello there. I am a student and I am looking to buy a Apple laptop. I have around 700GBP to spend, but I do not wish to spend all of that. As I do not use Macs that often I dont think I need the newer Macbooks or the Macbook Pros as I feel that it is a waste of power. My friend said the 12" Powerbook was the way to go. There are several different models out there and I was wondering if anyone could help me choose one. It will be used mostly for word processing and admin based work, but I would like to have enough power to be able to run some graphic based activities. I wont be using high level apps that much but it would be nice to know if the opportunity was there, then i I have sufficient power to be able to run them. My friend said an 867mhz G4 with upgraded hdd and ram would do the trick, but I have found out that the specs range all the way up to 1.5ghz. I like the look of the powerbook and I have heard they are more reliable than an ibook which is why I dont really want to choose one of those. Thanks for any help!

The biggest advantage of the 12PB is its portability, but you didn't include that in your specs.
The graphics are very good for the small screen. If you need more intense graphics you should consider a larger screen.
I use mine for mostly word processing and e-mail. I am also the IT guy in my small office and I manage networked PCs from my PB. I use an external monitor and screen spanning for extra work area. I thought long and hard before I bought my PB, as I had used PCs extensively all my life. The configuration that was recommended to you will work fine.

New to Solaris administration - Need some help with some issues

Hello all,
I am a new to Solaris administration and need some assistance with a few things. I was going to make separate posts but decided it would be easy to keep track of in one. I really do not know much about the OS but I do have a little Linux background so that might help me out. I am going to number my problems to keep them sorted, so here we go.
The machine:
Sunfire V880
4x 73GB HDs
PCI dual fiber channel host adapter
Attached RAID array:
Sun StorEdge T3 Array with 9x 73GB HDs
Sun DDS4 Tape Drive in a Unipack
OS: Solaris 5.10
Updates: Updated everything except 2 patches (Updating is a real pain isn't it? At least it seems that way to me.)
1. So I might as well start with the update issues! These 2 updates will not install:
-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
-Patch for mediaLib in solaris, (121620-03)
Install of update failed. Utility used to install the update is not able to save files. Utility used to install the update failed with exit code 4.
No idea why the PostgreSQL update is not working, but the medialib patch seems to not have enough hard drive space.
2. Where are all the drives? I don't know how to find the RAID box or the other 3 internal hard drives. When I installed the OS, I think I installed it on only one hard drive and that might be part of the reason why the medialibe update above says that I don't have enough space.
3. I probably need more space for the OS and updates, is there a way to "add" space onto the hard drive that currently is running the OS?
3. Once I see the other hard drives I wish to combine them to make a RAID 0 and RAID 5 array, how do I go about doing that?
4. How can I find/see the tape drive?
5. Does my swap space really need to be 64GB? I know the book I have read suggests it, but I only made it 5GB because it didn't seem to make sense to make it 64GB.
Thank you in advance for the help. I know these are a lot of questions to ask but please go easy on me :)

1.
-PostgreSQL 8.2 source code, (137004-02)
Utility used to install the update failed with exit code {0}.
Exit code 0 means there were no errors. When you run showrev -p 137004-02, does your system show that the patch is installed? You can check the log for a particular patch add attempt in /var/sadm/patch/+patch_num_rev+1- A bunch of stuff shows up, here is a portion (I am not entirely sure what it means, there must be a least a page of stuff like this):
Patch: 121081-08 Obsoletes: Requires: 121453-02 Incompatibles: Packages: SUNWc cccrr, SUNWccccr, SUNWccfw, SUNWccsign, SUNWcctpx, SUNWccinv, SUNWccccfg, SUNWcc fwctrl

When you run format command, how many drives are listed? Identify your root drive (compare with output of df command you ran earlier) Please post here.2. Output of df-hk, looks like I ran out of room. Should I just go ahead and reinstall the OS?

3. So I guess the general consensus is to reinstall the OS, is that correct?
4. There is nothing in \dev\rmt, and unfortunately I don't have a tape to test it with!
5. I guess 5GB will be ok for what we do.

HELP! I'm new at this and need some help getting started

I am currently working on our website and was wondering how do I make a new page?
for example.
I want people to click on a link on the homepage to say a stockist list and see another page open with that information on.
Also I need to know how to make the homepage have white strips on the left and right (for an example of what I mean please visit www.internationalrobes.com)
I look forward to your replies!
Carly

Well, these are more web design related questions, but I will help as much as I can in the context.
Going about adding a page:
1) Navigate to Admin > Layout > Static pages
2) Add a new static page here and enter your content
3) Once it is saved, you should see an eyeglasses icon next to the page and you can copy that url and use it in a link.
4) For example
<a href="common/pagedetail.aspx?PageCode=test">My link here</a>
As far as the white stripes, I think you mean centering a page?
1) Edit the main master page under your theme
2) Center the content using css, more info here: [http://www.thesitewizard.com/css/center-div-block.shtml]
I think you would also benefit from the WebEx i created on implementing a layout into Webtools available here: [http://www.businessoneecommerce.com/developerdownloads/Implementing_a_Webtools_Theme.zip]

New to Solaris 9 - Needs some help, if some could answer my question plz !!

Hello!
During the installation when I set that the computer is not networked, everything (SMC) seems to work absolutely fine.
But when I set the option that the computer is networked, The SMC (Solaris management Console) doesn;t startup. it says again and again that the server couldn't be found. Although I tried to stop and again start the SMC server process, but it didn;t work.,
Please help me out !!!!

I'll give this a shot:
Does other network traffic work? Assuming that you are new to Solaris 9, and not just UNIX in general, you may want to make sure that your network settings are correct (ip addy, netmask, default route, and so on) SMC usually starts up a network service on port 898 (IIRC), and then starts up the client (the actual GUI) and connects to itself.

A new Java Student in need of help

I am new to this Java language and while so far I have found it to be quite easy I have now come up against a program that is giving me some problems. Our teacher has given us this program that had a bunch of errors and we had to find them and also correct them. There were 20 errors to start and I have gotten it down to only 2 errors but I cannot figure out how to correct them. The teacher said to use whatever we could get our hands on to help us correct this code (internet, books, etc) so I figured that I would try this message board. This is my first post so could someone please give me a hand? Here is the code:
import java.util.*;
public class Names
public static void main(String args)
try
List list = createList(args);
Collections.sort(list);
Iterator i = list.iterator();
while (i.hasNext())
String s = (String) i.next();
system.out.println(s);
catch (Exception e)
System.out.printlnn("Exception"+ e.getMessage() "\n");
private static List createList(String args[]) throws Exception
List List;
if (args.length == 0 || argx(0).equals("ArrayList"))
list = ArrayList();
System.out.println("Using ArrayList");
else if (args[0].equals("LinkedList"))
list = new LinkedList();
system.out.println("Using LinkedList");
else if
throw new Exception
("invalid argument " + args[0] + ". Valid choices are ArrayList or LinkedList");
fillList(list);
return list;
private static void fillList (List list)
list.add("Jim");
list.add("Helen");
list.add("Jennifer");
list.add("Daniel");
list.add("Michelle");
and here are the 2 errors that I can't seem to figure out:
C:\$jg105\Names.java:24: ')' expected.
System.out.printlnn("Exception"+ e.getMessage() "\n");
^
C:\$jg105\Names.java:41: '(' expected.
else if
^
2 errors
Finished
any help will be appreciated thanks Bob

Have you looked at the Help files? To work with Dreamweaver, you need to define your site and set up the details of your remote server. Once you have done so, you can download your site from your remote server to your local computer. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/dreamweaver/cs/using/WScbb6b82af5544594822510a94ae8d65-7f62a.h tml.

I'm a very new user and I need some help!

I have recently started a new job and our website is managed through Dreamweaver, which I know nothing about. I was getting along until I was given a new computer. We installed a new version of Dreamweaver and when I launched it for the first time I was expecting to be able to see the local and remote sites, the way I could on the old computer. However, the remote site was not available. Please forgive my ignorance, and I did hunt for this info in the tutorials etc, but if I am communicating with the remote site, shouldn't all those files be listed without me having to put them there?

I did try. Alot of what I found dealt with creating pages and templates, which I will need soon, but not yet. I found the link below. It looked promising, but didn't end up relating to any option I could see for myself to try. I have tested my connection already so I believe I entered all the ftp information correctly.
