Things that are wrong with GNU Java

I thought I'd start this topic for reference. Contributions and corrections welcome.
Things I've encountered or seen here over the years:
1. Incompatible under Serialization.
2. Incompatible under RMI.
3. Swing support is either missing or incomplete.
4. jni.h doesn't agree with the JNI specification (found this yesterday: dozens of 'const's missing on parameters, and jboolean and jbyte both map to the same underlying native type, unlike the real jni.h).
I suppose it might ultimately have been more efficient to start a topic 'Things that are right with GNU Java' ...

I can't agree with that. If anyone implements Java, for any reason, good or bad, they are supposed to get it right. IBM's Java exists and doesn't have these problems. And there are other vendors. There's only one 'vendor' with a majjor problem and that's what the thread is about.
GNU has got it so wrong with their 'Java' that I can't see how it can possibly pass the compatibility tests, so how they can get away with calling it Java at all is another mystery ... When you look at their offerings, GCC is really their only major success. Their original goal, a GNU kernel, was never finished ...
For the record, and the purpose of this thread, GNI Java ['supports most of the 1.4 libraries plus some 1.5 additions'|http://gcc.gnu.org/java/]. In other words they haven't finished 1.4 yet, which came out on Feb 13, 2002, and is now in end-of-life, which ['will complete October 30th, 2008'|http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/]. Let alone 1.5 which came out on Sept 29, 2004. Their target? ['GNU Classpath 1.0 will be fully compatible with the 1.1 and 1.2 API specifications, in addition to having significant (>95%) compatability with the 1.3, 1.4, 1.5 and 1.6 APIs'|http://www.gnu.org/software/classpath/]. In other words 1.0 isn't out yet.

Apple does not repair iPhones, but will replace the entire iPhone for a flat fee; see the Service Pricing section here:
http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/service/faq/
There are independent iPhone repair services that may be able to do a repair for less, though of course it depends on what's wrong with it. Do a web search for "iPhone repair". Note, though, that if you elect to have the iPhone serviced by an unauthorized shop, all further support from Apple will be voided.
The iPhone 3G is pretty old now by smartphone standards, though, so you might want to consider putting your money toward a new, or at least newer, iPhone rather than spending to repair your current unit.
Regards.

Every thing that is wrong with the PRE's post!

I tried looking through the forums but my phone is refusing to cooperate so I have to place this thread here. Please feel free to move it to the appropriate forum later.
•The internet always seems to reload my pages making it impossible to hit the back button for it delets my previous pages.
•Sluggish response from every thing. Which leads to a locked phone.
•To often told "no room for new cards, close cards!"
•Email has been on the fritz telling me "it cannot connect to (insert)".
•Since the update(1.4) I can't pinch when using pdf files, so viewing size is compromised significantly.
These are the host of problems I can come up with in 15minutes. I'm sure I am likely to have problems with my video recording program, but I never used it.

HT3702 I only download things that are free from App Store, but sometimes it doesn't let me download something saying there is a problem with a previous purchase? So why won't it let me??

Why won't the App Store let me download things that are free, just because I don't have money on my card sometimes, it's free so I just don't get it??

You can try to make a new account on iTunes Store if you didnt have yet.
I had the same problem with iTunes Store, the only thing you can do is to put some money on that credit card you are using with you account. iTunes Store already keeping some money for the last purchase you made you can see all info on the Account option and then Purchase history ...

Welcome to the forum. I think that George123 has your problem and its solution well in hand. Follow his good advice and you will have solved this problem. One other thing though just for future reference. If you post your code, here, you are going to want someone to be able to read it easily. Please use code tags when posting next time and your code will be much easier on the eye. You can find out about them here:

The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why?!

The "Search" function box doesn't find things that are there! Why? Eg: It doesnt show all my Sent and Received emails, but it will find an email that I half wrote and deleted. Unsure why or how to explain more fully.
I also don't understand if I type in "James email" or "J" into the search box and all the J / James stuff appears but it doesn't show the emails I know have been sent and I know are somewhere because I rang "James" up to check, but the search box shows random thing I am NOT looking for, even if I type in fully what I am looking for and test it by typing in full titles of things.
It also doesn't store all my sent emails in "Sent" box. Confused! I'm not sure if the "Search" box just isn't up to the job or if it is broken / i'm doing something wrong? Maybe the email address I use isn't set up properly?

This can happen sometimes if the cache is not cleared correctly when items are not deleted from your device.
The only solution to this is to do a restore to clean out the cache file.

You do have the ability to create good user interfaces with LabVIEW.
The main problem is what do you, or your customer consider a good user
interface.
The first thing I would suggest is to start using the "Dialog Control"
controls for your front panel. This set of controls pick up their style
from the operating system, so they will match the rest of the system
applicaitons.
Another thing is limit the use of color on the front panel. One persons
idea of a nice shade of blue can be another person eyesore. Instead,
use the decorations for grouping of controls.
I would stay away from ActiveX. It's interface is quirky at best and there is a lot of overhead involved.
Just to show it's possible, the attached images are screen shots of
user interfaces I've designed with LabVIEW. The first two use the
Dialog Controls, and the third uses standard controls and color at the
customers request.

Things that are driving me nuts in Lion

There are numerous little things that are driving me nuts in Lion and I decided to list them all in this one annoying thread rather than start a bunch of annoying threads. Maybe some of you have found solutions, maybe some of these things bug only me, but here they are. Feel free to chime in with your own items that are driving you nuts...
WIth multiple tabs open in Safari, clicking on a tab causes the page to reload from scratch instead of the page being cached
I really miss having double scroll arrows on the top and bottom of windows
Downloaded installers do not automatically launch and mount as in previous OS X versions
Can't find a way to specify where to download a file to on the fly when clicking on a link in Safari. other than the downloads folder or another default folder
Scrolling in general has become more difficult and less precise. I literally could not scroll down my list of mail messages to find an email I was looking for earlier
ICO (custom web page icons) disappear and revert to generic
That's all I can think of off the top of my head, I know there's more. I know some of this stuff will just take getting used to, but some of it sure seems like a step backwards......

Yes I've had a few little things annoy me too - but the MOST annoying thing (so far... 24 hours in!) is that itunes now seems to stop streaming to my express as soon as my screen saver comes on - ie: I have itunes going all day usually, just streaming to my speakers in another room that are connected to an airport express. This is all this AE is for... and under Snow Leopard there was never any stopping of music because my imac went to sleep, but now, even as soon as a screen saver comes on, the music stops. I don't *really* want to disable screensaver and get the imac to be 'awake' all the time, but I can't seem to find a workaround - anyone else?

How to avoid purchasing multiple things that are the same but different titles

How can I avoid purchasing multiple things that are the same but have multiple names but is the same purchase for the same use?

"Things"? What things? Apps for keeping track of when to change cat litter? 30 different versions of "twinkle, twinkle little star" played by everything from punk rockers to Gregorian chant? Videos on the best way to make Christmas cake?

My iphone doesn't show me the effect on picture that are taken with effect is shows me it as a normal pic with out any effect but when I press edit it shows that the effect is already on but u can see it

my iphone doesn't show me the effect of the picture that Are taken with effect it just show them to me as a normal picture with out any effect and when I go to edit it shows there that the pic already has an effect and when I see the picture in group it shows that it has effect only when I tap on one to see it larger the effect disappear

I'm having the same issue, i restored my phone to Factory settings, even tried restoring it to my backup, half of my music bought from itunes won't play on my iphone and i'm super annoyed, this only happened once i updated to ios 7.2 so i assume its another glitch to go with my imessages not sending, getting sick of this.

Fieldpoint Hardware Drivers that are compatible with LV 8.5 and Windows Vista

I trying to develop in LabVIEW for some Fieldpoint hardware. I was going to download the hardware drivers from NI, but only see drivers that are compatible with Windows XP and LV 8.2
Or, am I just misinterpreting this?
Also, are there any potential conflicts with me developing on Vista, if my end-user, is uding another OS?
Daddy-O
One should welcome adversity as an opportunity to excel.

Hi Daddy-O,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments. This is a little misleading, and unfortunately the driver you are looking for is currently not directly searchable. In order to use your FieldPoint hardware with LabVIEW 8.5 and Windows Vista, you will need the FieldPoint 6.0 driver. This can be found within the disk that is distributed with new FieldPoint hardware, and any Device Drivers CD from August 2007 forward. Unfortunately, a standalone installer is not available for this driver, and if you do not have a hard copy of the Device Drivers, you can download this here. From this installer, you should be able to select FieldPoint 6.0 and install this software.
I hope this helps! Let me know if there is anything else I can clarify. Have a great day!

I just bought a 5g iPod touch and was wondering if there were any ihomes out or coming out soon that are compatible with this device? I know about the lightning adapters but read about their bad reviews and would like to avoid buying one for my ihome

I just bought a 5g iPod touch and was wondering if there were any ihomes out or coming out soon that are compatible with this device. I know there are adapters and cables you can purchase to use with your existing ihome but read the poor reviews on them and was scared away. I use my ihome very regularly and need this accessory to work with my new iPod. If you have any information on this, please help!

iHome already makes docks that support the Lightning connector:

In " Digital Connections, SPDIF and Dolby Digital Info" topic i've founded chatper about decoding AC3 with Sound Blaster. "2) Decode the AC3/DTS with your Sound Blaster." It is a little different explamle then my, so please can anybody tell me, how to do it ? How to set SB settings ? Should i download some additional software that will must be runing when watching TV (I dont know maybe there is something like "acti've decoder of AC3"). Maybe it it not possible at all

It also takes time for the photos to be transferred out of your iPhone and into Photo stream on Apple's iCloud servers.
Note that this can't happen if your iPhone is not connected to a WiFi network:
When you enable My Photo Stream on your devices, all new photos you take or import to those devices will be automatically added to your photo stream.
iOS devices: New photos you take are automatically uploaded to your photo stream when you leave the Camera app and are connected to Wi-Fi. My Photo Stream does not push photos over cellular connections.
Macs: Any new photos you import to iPhoto or Aperture begin uploading automatically when you have a Wi-Fi or Ethernet connection. Or you can change your iPhoto or Aperture preferences so that only photos you manually add to My Photo Stream are uploaded.
PC with iCloud Control Panel 2.0 or later: Open a Windows Explorer window and under Favorites select iCloud Photos if you are using iCloud Control Panel 3.0 (or Photo Stream if you are using 2.0 to 2.1.2). Open My Photo Stream. Click the "Add photos" button. Select the photos to import to My Photo Stream, then click Open.
