Travling tips with a G4
We're going to Las Vegas during spring break. My daughter will be bringing her Mac Book Pro and I'll be bringing a G4 iBook. Any tips on going through security like while they ask us to turn it on? I've heard warnings about making sure that we make sure we're at the end of the conveyor belt thing to make sure that the laptops don't get stolen. Any other suggestions to make things go more easily?
One thing I'm concerned about doing that, though, is that we'll be flying to Las Vegas from Hawaii on an overnight trip and will probably be sleeping on the flight. Any suggestions on how to deal with that?
It does cramp the legroom a bit, but it you have it in a not very fat bag, you should still have some room for your feet. Make sure the computer is in one of those padded sleeves and on the floor side of the bag.
As far as the Pro is concerned, my daughter is pretty good about backups.
Smart girl. You trained her well. The reason I mentioned backups and, possibly, a clone is that I have been on an extended trip, my computer was acting up and I did not have my install disk, nor a clone. Had to wait two weeks 'til I was back home, and use my brother's PC! Served me right, too. With a clone I would have been able to boot the computer from the clone and run Disk Utility or any of the other utilities. At the very least, I would have been able to run my computer from the clone, or clone the entire backup/clone back to the internal HDD.

How to associate tips with controls?
Hi All,
Is there any way to associate tips with control?
When my application is running,when the user drags over his mouse on the control,is there any way to s[ecify the purpose of the control.
ie,if i have a button called "plot",whenever the user drags his mouse over "plot"i want to display a tip indicating that this button's purpose is to plot graph.
IIs there any way like that?
ThanksJust Rt Click on the Numeric ( or whatever )-->> Description & Tip... thats it.
Tip will come as tool tip when you run the VI. Description will offer you a detailed help when you do Ctrl+H while running the VI.
Hope this helps you in more detail.

Tool Tip with column Height in CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE
Dear All,
I am generating Columns chart using the class CL_GUI_CHART_ENGINE. I would like to display the column height of every column as tooltip for that column. How can i achieve it ??
The following is the transformation that i am using -
<?sap.transform simple?>
<tt:transform xmlns:tt="http://www.sap.com/transformation-templates">
<tt:root name="CATEGORIES"/>
<tt:root name="SERIES"/>
<tt:template>
<ChartData>
<Categories>
<tt:loop ref="CATEGORIES">
<Category>
<tt:value/>
</Category>
</tt:loop>
</Categories>
<tt:loop ref="SERIES">
<Series>
<tt:attribute name="label"><tt:value ref ="LABEL"/></tt:attribute>
<tt:attribute name="customizing"><tt:value ref ="ID"/></tt:attribute>
<tt:loop ref="VALUES">
<Point extension="alt='Capacity'"><Value type="y">
<tt:value/>
</Value></Point>
</tt:loop>
</Series>
</tt:loop>
</ChartData>
</tt:template>
</tt:transform>
Now for all the Columns, the tool tip is same (Capacity). I want to display the column height also along with it. Thank you.

Help with creating One Time informative Pop-up (Like a tool-tip) with CSS
Hey guys,
My website has a nav bar on top that often times is missed by users unless I personally point it out. What I would like to do is have a litle tool tip like pop-up come on screen the first time someone visits the page, pointing to the navbar with some basic info. I have not worked with cookies or tooltips in the past, so I am at a loss on how to approach this. (I am not even sure the appropriate name for what I am looking for, so I am struggling to Google it!) If someone could point me to a tutorial or give me some tips, I would be much obliged!
The website in question with the navbar is www.clccedarrapids.com and it was designed in DWcs6 with the Bootstrap css kit.Thanks Nancy (and everyone else),
I struggle because the navbar seems natural and unobtrusive to me, and I really like that! I struggle a lot with design, and it always takes me a long time to settle on something I like, then this happens. C'est la vie! Can you guys suggest, off the top of your head, any options that might work better? I am not sure I like the big bulky bar at the top as ken suggested (but that could just be me) and I also want to consider how it will look on mobile, as I am very pleased with the mobile side of things now.
Also, is there any reason that I need to reduce my CSS code? I am not using most of bootstrap and would be happy to knock some things out if I need to. I am using GoDaddy as my host, so I am not worried about server load, will it effect end user performance? -
Need help/hints/tips with a method for connect 4 game.
Hi!
I'm currently trying to get my "movepiece"-method to make it so that players can only drag a piece into the empty square at the bottom row, and if the square is not empty the method will move up one row and check if it's empty if not, repeat until
6 are checked if no one is empty then move is invalid.
I've been trying out while loops and for loops but i think i might set the wrong conditions for exiting the loop...
Here the code for the method without any loops simply adds pieces.
/// <summary>
/// Method that performs the actual move.
/// The old piece gets overrun by the attacking piece.
/// The attacking piece's position becomes null.
/// </summary>public Piece[,] MoveAttackpiece(int[,] changearray)
int origX = changearray[0, 0];
int origY = changearray[0, 1];
int targetX = changearray[1, 0];
int targetY = changearray[1, 1];
pieceArray[targetX, targetY] = pieceArray[origX, origY]; //swap
return pieceArray;
The game is using winforms and a 2D array(pieceArray)to draw the game board
I'm using a Constants class for declaring the height and width of the board, which the pieceArray is based on, Namely const int BOARDESIZEx and BOARDERSIZEy.
And while i'm at it when i did different loops for tryng to make the piece move down/up (based on if a square in bottom row was empty or not) the program crashes and i get the "Null Reference Exception unhandled"
at this part in the game.CS (the earlier code reside in a class named Squares.cs)
if (changearray != null)
//Building string to print (split over several rows for readability but also to avoid calculations)
Piece attackpiece = pieceArray[changearray[1, 0], changearray[1, 1]];
string message = "";
if (move % 2 == 1) message += "TURN " + move / 2 + ":\r\n"; //integer division, as there are two draws per turn
message += attackpiece.Name + ": "; //Walker:
message += IntegerToChar(changearray[0, 1]); //Walker: A
message += (changearray[0, 0] + 1) + " - "; //Walker A1 -
message += IntegerToChar(changearray[1, 1]); //Walker A1 - B
message += (changearray[1, 0] + 1); //Walker A1 - B2
if (move % 2 == 0) message += "\r\n"; //blank row inserted after each completed turn
Board.PrintMove(message);
I've tried making
While(piecearray[targetX, targetY]!=null)
pieceArray[targetX, targetY]==pieceArray[targetX, targetY +1];
return array;
but that didn't work and i don't really know how to make the game start at bottom row.
I appreciate any help or tips on how to get this to work since it's the only thing left for making the game work as intended.
Cheers and thanks for reading.
PS: if there's anything you wonder just ask and i'll explain as much as i can.
Regards Gabbelino
Student at the University of Borås, SwedenLet's look at what's wrong with the following code.
While(piecearray[targetX, targetY]!=null)
pieceArray[targetX, targetY]=pieceArray[targetX, targetY +1]; // I assume the "==" in your post above was a typo.
Suppose, for the sake of argument, that targetX is 2 and targetY is 3, and that pieceArray[2,3] is not null. The line inside the loop will then become...
pieceArray[2,3] = pieceArray[2, 4];
...and this line will keep being executed as long as pieceArray[2,3] is not null, which if pieceArray[2,4] is not null will be forever (infinite loop).
I suspect that your loop should look something like this...
for(int i = 0; i < BOARDSIZEy; i++)
// Look for the first available square in the target column.
// When found, set the piece on that square then break out.
if(pieceArray[targetX, i] == null)
pieceArray[targetX, i] = pieceArray[origX, origY];
break; -
Sharing a cool tip with the community
(I shared this with the ittoolbox crowd and thought you all would also like it)
I just noticed in the editor that you can type:
//<editor-fold>
(code)
//</editor-fold>into netbeans in a JCD and it will fold the code for you (!!!)
A small but very important improvement :)
Anyone else have any other neat tips like this?You can actually make it in any Java Code in Netbeans. I use folds like:
//<editor-fold defaulstate="collapsed" desc="A description of the collapsed code goes here">
(code)
//</editor-fold>By using "defaultstate="collapsed"" then when you open the class/jcd in the editor for first time, it'll always be collapsed. You can also add a description in the "desc" part. Actually I find it pretty to add first something like [+] to indicate that there are hidden elements and you can double-click in there.
I don't know if there are other attributes you can add to the element.

A little tip, with the X-Fi's and new mobo
I've asked around and tested some. And it seems like if the mainboard have PCI-Ex6 and 2PCI's or less, the sound got a tendence to crackle and so on. I've suspected this, as i've used my Creative X-Fi with some mobo's.
(I don't know if this is the problem, but it might me a good thing for you people, who are planning to buy a new mobo.)?System Was an AMD which had an EpoX 8NPA-SLi. (2PCi-Ex6, 2PCi)Sound worked very good. (Windows XP x64 Proffesional.)?System 2 Was Intel with Asus P5VD2-VM (PCi-Ex6, PCi-Ex, 2PCi)Sound crackled a lot and was unhealthy for ears. (Windows XP x64 Proffesional.)?System 3 Was the same Intel, but with Asrock 4CoreDual-VSTA (PCi-Ex6[which infact is running 4x, but is looking like a usual x6], 3PCi)Sound worked good (Windows XP x64 Proffesional, For Vista The Sub, won't work cause of drivers and programs.)?System 4 will be tested soon. Waiting for a gigabyte mobo, which is supposed to be changed with the Asus. (PCi-Ex6, 3PCi-Ex, 3PCi)?According to some buddies on Irc, their sound works good. But no one have less ports then my system 2 had. (Most of em got 2PCi-Ex6, PCi-Ex, 2 PCi)?I can't say that my teory is worth anything, as it might be something else causing this crackle.But i think that the "IRQ"'s are different cause of the number of PCi ports on the mobo. (Anyways, i've hope this can be useful and just wrote this to try help. And i don't know how much of this has been said before and if it doesn't help out, im sorry.)?Btw, im not working at creative, i've just feel sad about these really great soundcards, which seem to malfunction in some systems.I Installed the Gigabyte GA-965P-DS3 mainboard today. (Very tricky to install, especially if you get mad at the installation of cables etc.)?Anyways. I've tested the mainboard in one of the games i had terrible "crackling" in, with the Asus mainboard. And after 20minutes i've concluded that this one seems "crackle" free too. I don't know, but it seems like all mainboards i've had with many PCi slots (of all types, PCi-Ex6, PCi-Ex4, PCi-Ex and PCi.) doesn't have this crackling problem. Conclusion: Most of the mainboards, which was crackle free, had 3PCi's (Usual ones.)?Hope this will help some of you people. (The Gigabyte mainboard was tested under Windows Vista Buisness, without crackle, but with not so good working drivers, so quality of the sound is still not too good.)

Problem with mouse-over value on a column chart (by Series)
Hi.
First of all thanks for any offered tip.
I am having a problem with a column chart.
When I move the mouse over a column it should show a small pop-up (or tip) with the column name (series name) and the value (series value). The problem is that it displays an extra '1' just like the following:
SeriesName
1
X.XXX
How can I remove the extra '1' and only show the name and the value ?
The data is populated by series (manually added).
Mihai.Hi,
Thanks for the tip Shanthakumar KA.
Yes. It looks like the '1' is coming from the X Axis labels. The chart that I have built does not require any labels on the X Axis, so this was not set (X-Axis labels: Empty). I tried setting this to an empty cell, but the '1' still appears in the mouse-over tip.
It is very weird. If I leave the X-Axis labels empty, I still get the '1' displayed which is very annoing.
Are there any solutions for this except the re-building the tip with a label a.k.a. '[customize the mouse over values|http://xcelsiusandme.blogspot.com/2009/07/xm-sample-7-customizing-mouse-over.html].'
