What are the most common questions in the forums?

I have my own ideas about what are the questions we see asked over and over and over again in here. Everyone post your ideas here so we can compile a FAQ and maybe post it somewhere (Virum, your new site? :) )

Please do my homework/coursework/think for me
This has to be by far the most common type of question asked on the forums.
Classpath questions
HashCode questions
Pointer vs Reference Debate (totally spurious but people spew 100's of pages arguing about something that is perfectly obvious)
A very good Thread that is probably 1000's of entries long by now is the
"How to get your questions answered promptly" one (or however this is called). A recap of that published somewhere would be of tremendous value, especially if it was presented as a page you had to go through before landing in the forums to post your latest "Java Challenge" aka "do my coursework" on the boards.

  • The most unusual question that the smartest person could not figure out

    ok here is the question
    why after installing both the itunes program and ipod touch on my computer it worked fine for a couple months, but then itunes started acting up and my computer would only sometimes know it was my ipod that was there. now i get nothing itunes says no ipod found and windows says unknown device. i did everything i could aside from completely putting my ipod into restore mode. i downloaded itunes 8.2, i checked everything was connected properly and it still wont work. So basically my computer says unknown device and itunes wont recognize that that is my ipod. Help

    playstation forums are alot different
    thank you dave for your attempt at help
    i have decided that my laptop does not have the power input to accept the ipod touch so i have gone out and bought a dell. now i did not buy it just for the ipod but for the fact that my need for a desktop was rising. After installing itunes 8.2 and syncing my ipod touch everything works fine
    kudos to dave being the only one in a bunch of days to answer this
    i have however looked at all of the ipod articles and it directs me to an ipod touch only article which is not helpful at all and i think that apple needs to come to realize that that is not the only problem that people are facing.
    it is also funny how if one ipod user has a problem then over 1,000,000 people have that problem too lol

  • In your experience what are the most common errors in binding files when deploying?

    As the title suggest I'm interested in discussing the most common errors in binding files when deploying.
    Reason for this is that I'm currently working on a Powershell script that can parse a binding file and create a reader friendly report (rtf format) with various information.
    But the main purpose for this script is to find common errors in the binding file used. And so far these are the ones I've thought of:
    - Tracking enabled for either services or the pipelines they are using (if it's a binding meant for Prod).
    - Orchestrations logical ports not having any ports bound to them.
    - URI containing certain words that's not ok. For example if a binding meant for Prod contains the word "test" anywhere in the URI then that should be reported in the created rtf report. This also applies vice versa.
    So now I need your help with coming up with more ideas on common errors that need to be looked after and reported on if found! 
    Additional features the report should contain:
    - Listing the details of each orchestration, send port, receive port along with their associated receive location(s). To better understand and get a quick overview on exactly what settings are planned to be deployed. Especially the "TransportTypeData"
    section which otherwise can be quite tedious to read.
    - List each unique host instance, so that I can easier see directly which ones might need a restart after an import.
    I'd appreciate if you can come up with any more features that should be included in this script.
    /Christian @ IntegrationAdmin.com

    Filter on send port not on the same line as the Filter tag.
    This one is a nice one, I ran into it several times. Mostly after copy/paste of a port definition for a binding file, because Visual Studio is formatting after paste the XML in a way the filter will get invalid. This leads to a cryptic error
    during importing the binding.

  • What are the most common designpaterns?

    Hello!
    I have been working with a designpatern before. But i have only used one of them.
    I have heard that there are many diffrent kind of paterns.
    Which are the most common? Is EJB a kind of designpatern?
    And does anybody know any good internetpage about designpaterns?
    Thank you.

    Hello!
    I have been working with a designpatern before. But i have only used one of them.If you've written Java, you've used a lot of patterns without knowing it. They're built into the language.
    I have heard that there are many diffrent kind of paterns.The first "design patterns" book, and arguably the best, is "Design Patterns" by Gamma, Johnson, Helm, and Vlissides. I'd read that if you haven't.
    Which are the most common? Is EJB a kind of designpatern?EJB itself isn't a "pattern", but it uses them. Since EJBs are based on RMI, it's using Proxy every time you call an EJB. The stub is a proxy for the remote object that lets your client speak to it as if it was in the same address space.
    And does anybody know any good internetpage about designpaterns?Core J2EE Patterns IS excellent. Doug Schmidt has done a lot of patterns work, too.

  • What is the most common way of deployment of SSIS package?

    Hi everybody,
    I am new to SSIS. I have created an SSIS package in development server. I want to deploy it to production server. What is the most common and efficient way of deployment? Please let me know the procedure in details.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Anujit,
    SSIS deployment is nothing but just to copy the .dtsx files from DEV to PROD. (Either file system or SQL Server)
    File system deployement is the common way of SSIS deployment
    1. File system deployment using manifest file
    http://sivasqlbi.blogspot.in/2012/05/ssis-step-by-step-process-of-creating.html
    2. SQL Server deployment using manifest file
    http://bharath-msbi.blogspot.in/2012/04/step-by-step-ssis-package-deployment.html
    3. By using Command line
    http://www.mssqltips.com/sqlservertutorial/215/command-line-deployment-tool-for-ssis-packages/

    Long story short....I restored my computer to an earlier point using time machine and now all of the previous back-ups are gone. My question has to do with itunes...is it possible to restore my itunes library to the most recent backup because the restore that I did was in march and the latest backup was in may....the reason being is that there were app that i had downloaded that are in my most recent back-up, that were not in the backup I restored to. Is it possible to just restore one application ie)itunes?

  • How would I find the most common value every nth row in a column

    SCENARIO 1
    I have a column with a series of numbers in c1:c1000 as follows:
    2
    2
    3
    1
    1
    4
    2
    3
    1
    2...
    and I would like to find the most common value for every nth (in this case, second) row.
    SCENARIO 2
    Originally, I created a separate column in J and used this to find a value of 0 or 1 via a filter to label the rows odd or even. I was then going to create two separate columns, one for even rows of data and another for odd rows of data to separate them and perform functions on each column. But I do not know how to copy just the filtered data to one of the new columns to apply the MODE function (or any other for that matter).
    Perhaps my question should be: after applying a filter, how do i copy just the visible filtered data of every nth row to a new column in my spreadsheet while retaining the original column with all rows of data? 
    BACK TO SCENARIO 1
    If I do not need to go through this effort, I would just apply the MODE function (or AVERAGE or SUM) to every nth row in the original data column.

    Since Index and Offset were already taken, I used INDIRECT(ADDRESS()) in my example.
    Here's how I approached it:
    Expressions are as follows...
    Data Subset, Column A, Row 2: =IF(StartingRow :: A, 1, NSelector :: $A)
    Subsequent rows in Column A: =IF(ROW()<COUNT(Input :: $B)/NSelector :: A:$A+2, A2+NSelector :: $A, "")
    Data Subset, Column B, Rows 3
    throuth the last: =IFERROR(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(A+1, 2, ,,"Input")), "")
    Stats, Column A, Row 2: =IFERROR(MODE(Data Subset :: B), "No Mode")
    Stats, Column B, Row 2: =COUNTIF(Data Subset :: B, A)
    Lots of ways to skin this cat.

  • I've read that Promise Pegasus2 series does not sell replacement parts. I'm buying the new MacPro but am concerned about spending $2K for storage that may break and cannot be fixed. What are others buying for storage for the new MacPro?

    I've read that Promise Pegasus2 R6 thunderbolt 2 series does not sell replacement parts (no replacement parts for any of the Pegasus line). I'm buying the new MacPro but am concerned about spending $2K for storage (12tb version) that may break and cannot be fixed (am told that one must purchase a new unit if a part breaks). What are others buying for storage for the new MacPro? Thanks so much for your help.
    Discussion about this issue at MacWorld.com:  http://www.macworld.com/article/2082783/first-look-promises-pegasus2-r6-thunderb olt-2-raid-array.html

    I've used the original Pegasus R6 units for a couple of years now and have been very pleased with them.  On the two occasions I've had to call on their technical sujpport, I've found them readily available, knowledgeable, and very helpful.  In one case it involved the reset of a unit after a power failure at an inopportune time; in the other case it was a question about upgrading disk drives to higher capacities (1 Gb gto 4 Gb).  I was pleased to learn that their tech support people were in California and as good if not better than upper-tier AppleCare reps. The hardware itself has functioned flawlessly so far.

  • What are Apple doing to compensate for the damage caused by the iPhone 4 bumper?

    I have noticed damage caused by the bumper.
    It is NOT foreign object but caused by the hard plastic on the inside of the bumper
    (plese do not come out with rubbish like steel is harder than plastic) I am not stupid and I know that the damage matches the pattern of the bumper skeleton.
    What I want to know is when are Apple going to deal with this and replace my phone?
    I dare not go to the so called Genius bar in Milton Keynes as they have adopted a Dixons style "fob off" attitude and I will become rather angry with them.

    o Steel is harder than plastic, so the bumper has not caused the damage.
      - You call it rubbish
      - The world calls it physics
    You are totally wrong.  Please go back to School.
    o You can deny physics
      - but that will not change reality.
    You can go to School but that wont change reality.
    o Your description of your Genius bar is incomprehensible
      - I recommend you go to the Genius bar leaving the chip on your shoulder at home and tactfully explain what you think is your issue.
    I recomend you find a day job ans stop TROLLING peoples threads.
      - I've never had them fail me or be the least bit confrontational.
      - But if you act like a jerk then I couldn't predict what would happen
    Yeah because you were there.  Are you having some kind of relationship with the company?  I think you sleep with an Apple under your pillow.
    Finally I am a consumer who has paid for a product that is not living up to expectations.  The plastic skelton is hard and abrasive (I know what that means as I went to School) Abrasion's are marking the product. 
    This is not the only time this has been reported and as such I have no issue with particles entering the bumber.  This has happened from the start (when I used Apples stupid bumber case)
    Please don't patronise or TROLL others threads.

  • Finding the most common value in an array of enums

    Hello,
    I'm looking for an elegant way of finding the most common value in an array of enums
    My enum being:
    0 - Close
    1 - Open
    2 - Undefined
    For instance, if my array contains:
    Close, Close, Open, Close, Close, Open.
    The most common value would be "Close"
    I have created a very customized VI that allows me to obtain the desired result, but I'm really not proud of doing it this way, simply because I would have to modify it if I were to add a new value to my enum...
    If someone can share some ideas to enlighten me, I would REALLY appreciate it.
    Thanks in advance!
    Jorge
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Here is the variant using the search method. This method will run N-1 times where N is the number of ENUM elements. Yes, it is a bit more complex than the brute force method but it would execute fairly quickly. The sort would probably be the time consuming task.

  • What are these blue box question marks?

    What are these blue box question marks appearing on some websites?
    They seem to not appear on every website I visit, only some.
    I have tried several troubleshooting steps.
    -I reset cache.
    -I changed text encoding.
    -I checked bos to always display images.
    -I went to "develop" and opened in every other browser.
    -I updated my adobe flash player.
    What else can I do?
    It is so annoying!
    I am running Safari 8.0.
