Trying to understand the new Console.readline()

I tried the following:
public class Forum
   public static void main(String[] args)
      System.out.println("Enter a line of text:") ;
      String input = System.console().readline() ;
      System.out.println("You entered " + input) ;
}but I get the following error:
C:\...\Forum.java:6: readline(boolean) in java.io.Console cannot be applied to ()I don?t see a readline(boolean) method in the Console class.
What am I missing?
Also, what does it mean ? ??cannot be applied to ()?
Thanx to one and all.

That's a confusing error message and I couldn't believe that you got that one, until I tried it.
It seems there's a (probably private) readline(boolean) method in Console, which results in that message.
The method you like to call is called "readLine" (not the capital L).Picky, picky, picky.
Thanx a lot.

I am trying to understand the new Everything Plan

I am receiving the same service for thre same price as before. So exactly what does this help me with? I now see that I am paying $70 more per month for actually less service than what I could get thru ATT. I switched to Verizon because of better reception, but even that has gotten worse in the past serveral months. I was okay with paying slightly more for better service, but this is ridiculous. They promote a new plan that they hope will make me feel good but offers me nothing. If I am going to pay this much more per month I think I should at least get more coverage and noticeably better service. I am getting neither. NOT happy.

ShowMeState, we want you to be happy with our network. This is why we've implemented these new plans. We're giving you so much MORE with these plans. http://vz.to/1lwOwRQ Let's look deeper into your coverage to ensure that you're getting the best service. What's your zip code? Which phone do you have? What service issues are you experiencing?

HT4061 I have been trying to understand the new itunes, as I want to get into my music library, and getting very frustrated not being able to figure it out. Can you help by walking me through it?

Recently you changed the itunes and I am unable to download additional music from my computer to iphone. How do I do this, as I want to update my music, etc.?

Open iTunes, click on view, click on show side bar to get the classic style of iTunes.

[SOLVED] Trying to understand the "size on disk" concept

Hi all,
I was trying to understand the difference between "size" and "size on disk".
A google search gave plenty of results and I thought I got a clear idea about
it.. All data is stored in small chunks of a fixed size depending on the
filesystem and the last chunk is going to have some wasted space which
will *have* to be allocated.. Thus the extra space on disk.
However I'm still confused.. When I look at my home folder, the size on disk
is more than 320 GB, where as my partition is actually less than 80 GB, so
I guess I'm missing something.. Could somebody explain to me what does
320 GB of 'size on disk' means?
Thanks a lot in advance..

Hi all,
Thank you for your replies.. My file manager is indeed pcman fm and
indeed it seems to be an issue.. In b4data's link the last post reads:
B-Con wrote:
FWIW, I found the problem. (This bug is still persistent in v0.9.9.)
My (new) PCManFM bug report is here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.ph … tid=801864
I submitted a potential patch here: http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=de … tid=801866
Bottom line is that the file's block size and block count data from the file's inode wasn't being interpreted and used properly. The bug is in PCManFM, not any dependent libraries. Details are in the bug report.
Since PCManFM is highly used by the Arch community, I figured I should post an update here so that there's some record of it in our community. Hopefully this gets addressed by the developer(s) relatively soon. :-)
I guess that pretty much explains things.. And I think I did understand the 'size on disk' concept
anyway
Thanks again!

Trying to understand the code???

Hi,
I am trying to understand the following bit of code, currently the code puts each catalogue into a different row of the table but i want each catalogue to be put in the next column
(so the catalogues appear across the page on the actual web page). The following code is for the page in question but im not sure how much is relevant so i will paste it all and highlight the section i think is relevant:
<html>
<%-- DECLARATIONS --%>
<%@ page import="se.ibs.ns.cf.*, se.ibs.ccf.*, se.ibs.bap.*, se.ibs.bap.util.*, se.ibs.bap.web.*, java.util.*, se.ibs.ns.icat.*, se.ibs.bap.asw.cf.*, java.lang.*" %>
<% ItemCatalogueBean bean = (ItemCatalogueBean)SessionHelper.getSessionObject("ItemCatalogueBean",session);
   String resourcePath = bean.getResourcePath(null);
   String title = "Product catalogue";
   String languageCode = bean.getLanguageCode();

You've probably already seen these, but here are a couple of links that may help.
http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform//reference/actionscript/3/operators.html#array_a ccess
http://www.adobe.com/livedocs/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/Array.html
What's basically happening is that the "for" loop goes through each item in the array. Don't be confused by the fact that two of the items in the array are Strings and one is an Integer - variable i being a String has nothing to do with the data type of the elements in the array.
The following code:
private function createLabels():void
     var myArray:Array = ['one', 'two', 3];
     for(var i:String in myArray)
          trace("i = " + i);
          trace(myArray[i]);
gives the following results:
i = 0
one
i = 1
two
i = 2
3
From that we can see that the "for" loop is assigning the index number of each array element, not the actual array element ('one', 'two', or 3) to the variable i. So calling myArray[i] is the same as calling myArray[0] the first time through the loop. This type of "for" loop is just a shorter way of doing the following, which produces exactly the same results:
private function createLabels():void
     var myArray:Array = ['one', 'two', 3];
     for(var i:int = 0; n < myArray.length; i++)
          trace("i = " + i);
          trace(myArray[i]);
Hope that helps.
Cheers!

Trying to understand the basic concept of object oriented programming.

I am trying to understand the basic concept of object oriented programming.
Object - a region of storage that define is defined by both state/behavior.
( An object is the actual thing that behavior affects.)
State - Represented by a set of variables and the values they contain.
(Is the location or movement or action that is the goal that the behavior is trying to accomplish.)
Variables- (What does this mean?)
Value - (What does this mean?)
Behavior - Represented by a set of methods and the logic they implement.
( A set of methods that is built up to tell's the how object to change it's state. )
Methods - A procedure that is executed when an object receives a message.
( A very basic comand.For example the method tells the object to move up, another method tells the method to go left. Thus making the object move up/left that combination is the behavior.)
Class - A template from which the objects are created.
( I am very confused on what classes are.)
- The definitions of the words I obtained from the "Osborne Teach Yourself Java". The () statements are how I interperate the Mechanisms (I do not know if Thats what you call them.) interact with each other. I understand my interpretation may be horribly wrong. I will incredibly appreciate all the support I may get from you.
Thank you

Object oriented programming is a replacement for the older idea of procedural programming (you can research procedural programming in google). As I understand it, in procedural programming, you have a step by step set of function calls to accomplish some task. Each function receives a data structure, manipulates it, and passes it to the next function. The problem with this is that each function preforms some action for the overall task and can't easily be reused by some other task. Its also harder to read the flow of what is happening with raw data structures flying all over the place.
In object oriented programming, an object calls a function of another object and receives back, not a data structure, but another object. Objects contain a data structure that can only be accessed by its functions. An object is not so much a sub component of a bigger task, as it is a service that any other task can use for any purpose. Also, when you pass an object to the caller, the caller can ask questions about the data structure via its functions. The developer doesnt have to know what the previous function did to the data by reading up on any documentation, or having to reverse engineer the code.
I suggest the best way of learning this is to code something like a library object.
A library object contains a collection of book objects
A book object contains a collection of chapter objects
A chapter object contains a collection of paragraph objects
A paragraph object contains a collection of sentence objects
A sentence object contains a collection of word objects.
Add functions to each object to provide a service
Example: A library object should have a:
public void addBook(Book book)
public Book getBook(String title)
public boolean isBookInLibrary(String title)
The key is to add functions to provide a service to anyone who uses your object(s)
For example, what functions (service) should a paragraph object provide?
It shouldn't provide a function that tells how many words there are in a sentence. That function belongs to a sentence object.
Lets say you want to add a new chapter to a book. The task is easy to read
if you write your objects well:
Sentence sentence1=new Sentence("It was a dark and stormy night");
Sentence sentence2=new Sentence("Suddenly, a shot ran out");
Paragraph paragraph=new Paragraph();
paragraph.addSentence(sentence1);
paragraph.addSentence(sentence2);
Paragraphs paragraphs=new Paragraphs();
paragraphs.addParagraph(paragraph);
Library library= new Library();
library.getBook("My Novel").addChapter("Chapter 1",paragraphs).
Now, lets say you want to have a word count for the entire book.
The book should ask each chapter how many words it contains.
Each chapter should ask its paragraphs, each paragraph should ask
its sentences. The total of words should ripple up and be tallied at each
stage until it reaches the book. The book can then report the total.
Only the sentence object actually counts words. The other objects just tallies the counts.
Now, where would you assign a librarian? What object(s) and functions would you provide?
If written well, the project is easily extensible.

I installed the new version because itunes had not recognised my ipod nano 5G, and told me to reinstall. Itunes selected which version to install, so I don't understand what is going on. To add insult to injury it installed a pile of malware which I am still trying to get rid off.
Any advice would be helpful

I am trying to determine the new project preset for a multi-camera video shot as follows: 3 Canon camcorders,
Main shot is DV (tape) (720x480, 29fps) - ceremony and reception
b-roll is DVD (mini-disk) (720x480, 29fps) - bride preparations
additional b-roll is AVCHD (1920x1080, 29fps) - groom preparations and misc all day ceremony and reception.
Film is from a wedding, DV contains main footage so I assume it will need to be the base. I am planning to use the preset for DV-Widescreen. Is there a better option? I'm concerned about playback as the three appear to have different PAR. I'm using Premiere Elements 10 on W8.
Ultimately this will be burned for two formats - one for a DVD that can be watched on a widescreen TV, second for a short clip trailer to go on vimeo.
(And no I won't be doing this again for a wedding that I shoot.)

Please review since I am not sure how you obtained Video 3 tall when you scaled Video 3 with Constrain Proportions in effect.
Before
After
It becomes a zoomed in effect to get rid of the black borders. But, there is no tall and thin involved anywhere.
And, after the Scale increase, you can always click on the screen and move the image around a bit

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop

* Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
