What do you call this basic technique?

Request: Is there a name for the technique I'm using below, because I
know I've seen it and done it before.
Context: I'd like to allow the user to resize images, while preserving
their width:height aspect ratio. My GUI has a pair of JSpinners, for width
and height, and when one is adjusted, the other should change.
Example: if the aspect ratio is 2:1, setting the width spinner to 201
should cause the height spinner to change to 100 (I truncate), whilst setting
the height spinner to 100 should cause the width spinner to change to 200.
But: I don't want those reactions to cascade: from the example, if the
user sets the width spinner to 201, the height spinner should change to 100,
but that is where it should stop -- the width spinner shouldn't itself react
and change to 200.
My solution: I'm a fan of fixing it in the model, and here is my tweak for
SpinnerNumberModel: public class SafeSpinnerNumberModel extends SpinnerNumberModel {
     public SafeSpinnerNumberModel(int value, int minimum, int maximum, int stepSize) {
         super(value, minimum, maximum, stepSize);
     public void setValue(Object value) {
         if (!inSetValue) {
             inSetValue = true;
             super.setValue(value);
             inSetValue = false;
     private boolean inSetValue;
In my code, there are two JSpinners (with SafeSpinnerNumberModels),
and each model has a ChangeListener that reacts by adjusting the other model.
The flag stops the potential feedback loop.
So, again, what would you call this technique?
Thanks,
BDLH

Me too. And they love all those visual little
thingies so much: ooh, when
the number is positive it's displayed in black,
otherwise it's red. I'm a
genius! No lemme put 90 percent profit in here, just
for the "what-if"
question part. Yay! It's black!You should see some of the spreadhseets we have here. Risk management, process compliance, earned value management... I have no idea what any of this is, but its all thousands of rows of red-green-yellow, telling who's not doing any work. And if you change one value all the colors change all over the place. I bet they have Tetris encoded in there.
I attempted to finish my bookkeeping for Q3 last
Sunday but I was
distracted by myself attempting to do the Towers of
Hanoi puzzle
using Excel. I managed to make it work, but it was so
awful (using
additional cells etc) I deleted it all. I still have
to finish up Q3 ...Hmm, I believe I'll start short-selling JosAH Industries ;-)

What is it and what do you call it.

Since I purchased my iMac two weeks ago, I have had a spinning colored symbol appear on the window a couple of times. I do not know what it is called or how to get it off the screen when this happens. I am sure there is an answer to this some place on the forum but I do not know what to ask since I don't know what this symbol is called or what it means. I have attempted to search but have been unable to find anything that addresses this problem. Any help will be very much appreciated. A new Apple user - John

That icon is the spinning beachball, and it appears whenever the cursor is over an application which isn't responding to incoming requests. The application may be busy processing something, or it may be stuck, in which case it needs to be force quit by use of the Force Quit command in the Apple menu, or it may be in the process of unexpectedly quitting.

Cool little icons - Where did they get these?

I ran across Depeche Mode's website months ago. I really like
the little icons they use at the bottom of the page for Facebook,
Youtube, Myspace etc. Where did these come from? Is it a Flash
product? Or is it a custom Flash icon their designer used? I would
love to get my hands on them if anyone recognizes them.

Hi SH -
While it does look like "each one is separate" it is actually
one image
containing all the icons including the hover state.
The sprite method uses CSS positioning to only display the
desired icon as a
background
The image:
http://www.depechemode.com/images/brat_bottom_footer_icons.jpg
The CSS:
#brat_hacked_footer span.announcement {
background: url(/images/brat_bottom_footer_icons.jpg)
#edecec;
float: left;
display: block;
width: 25px;
height: 22px;
margin: -4px 4px 0px 0px;
#brat_hacked_footer span {
background: url(/images/brat_bottom_footer_icons.jpg)
#edecec;
float: left;
display: block;
width: 25px;
height: 22px;
margin: -4px 4px 0px 20px;
#brat_hacked_footer span.store {
background: url(/images/brat_bottom_footer_icons.jpg);
float: left;
display: block;
width: 62px;
height: 22px;
margin: -4px 4px 0px 20px;
#hacked_footer_announcement_list span.announcement {
background-position: 0px 0px;
#hacked_footer_myspace span {
background-position: -25px 0px;
#hacked_footer_facebook span {
background-position: -50px 0px;
#hacked_footer_youtube span {
background-position: -75px 0px;
#hacked_footer_store span.store {
background-position: -100px 0px;
#hacked_footer_store_links a {
display: inline;
margin: -0px 0px -0px 0px;
#hacked_footer_store_links b {
display: inline;
margin: -0px 0px -0px 0px;
#hacked_footer_announcement_list a:hover span.announcement {
background-position: -0px -22px;
#hacked_footer_myspace a:hover span {
background-position: -25px -22px;
#hacked_footer_facebook a:hover span {
background-position: -50px -22px;
#hacked_footer_youtube a:hover span {
background-position: -75px -22px;
#hacked_footer_store a:hover span.store {

Mail, what are the meaning of the little icons?

Does anyone know where to find the meanings of the little icons next to each mailbox? ie. one looks like a thunderbolt, another looks like a clock.

I think the thunderbolt means the mailbox is offline, and the clock means it is currently trying to go online...

What do YOU call them, ipod touch or itouch?

Iv heard alot of people use different names ..which one is actually like the real name..was the term itouch by apple or fans?
what do u call it?..ipod touch or itouch?
just wondering, what the real name is ..

"Touch"
To me when someone says "Touch", the 'ipod' is already implied, just like 'Apple' is.
(i.e. "Hey Joe ! I got my new Apple Ipod Touch today" = "Hey Joe ! I got my new Touch today")

OT: What do you call e-document maker?

Hi there and thank you so long for your help.
I need a bit off-topic help. What are those documents called with an *.exe extension but is a document that you can page through? There is a sort of animation when the pages are turned. These pages can normally be PDF or any graphic format.
I trust you will be able to help me.
Regards,
Deon

Thank you for the reply, Hans-Günter.
I have Googled this whole morning and used words such as e-document maker and so on. I could not find anything I could use.
While typing this, I remembered this South Africa site: http://www.game.co.za/RapidCat/Game/Cell-C/index.htm
I have checked, it is made with: http://www.flashpageflip.com/
I will check to see if I can find other products.
Sincere Regards,

Hi, I'm very junior in programming and I want to build my
resume from what I learn everyday at work. Today I learned how to
write an application using CF without any interface. What my app.
does is to read a text file, my boss calls this file a feed file.
Then I put the records into a tables in a DB and then I need to use
these tables to
create the rest of the logic. After I'm done with it I need
to set up my app. to pick up this feed every day once a day in
certain location. So I also learned how to set up a schedule Task
from CF administrator.
Now, i want to write this experience in my resume, what am i
supposed to say? can anyone help please? Thank you

What do you call the box in Dreamweaver???

Hello, years ago, I remeber a function in Dreamweaver that allowed you to create a hidden text box, layer, or something to that effect, that if you were to run your mouse over certain text, images, etc., that DW could make it show. Doeaanyone know what this is and how to create it?

It used to be called Show-Hide Layers. It's now called Show-Hide Elements. See http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WSc78c5058ca073340dcda9110b1f693f21-7af 6a.html.

What do you call....

Okay, so I'm updating my reel. I do a lot of work in after effects and I'm trying figure out what heading to give that work. Right now I have it as "motion graphics" but it doesn't sound quite right. I've thought about animation, but that sounds like cartoon drawing, and it's not special effects because that sounds like green/screen etc.
I mostly do PSA's and show opens/graphics packages.
So any better suggestions?
Thanks.

It's called Motion Graphics...you got it.

(OT) What would you call this section of a Graphic Portfolio website?

On my graphic design portfolio website, there will be a Portfolio section where you'll see finished items like posters and flyers.
But I'll also add a section containing various airbrushing/photoshopping jobs. This section will hold before/after images... like 1) A picture of a person, 2) A picture of a cave, and 3) The photoshopped picture of the person inside the cave, with arrows to indicate that the first two pictures were merged. The section will also contain traditional airbrushing (before/after model shots).
I am reluctant to call it just "Airbrushing" because there's a lot more intricate work than that. Taking a person or object out of one environment and placing them in another is referred to as "Photoshopping" nowadays... but I'd like to use an expression that isn't specific to this program, if at all possible. What would be a more appropriate name for such a section?
I thought of "Photo Editing". Would that work? Or does that make you think of something else entirely?

Well, I was being serious. You didn't list the size limitation initially.
How about "Work Samples", "See My Work", "Some of My Work".

You call those music videos?

I just checked out what music videos are available, and oh my gosh do they suck! SERIOUSLY. Whoever is responsible for them should be canned, or better yet, be forced to work for Microsoft. I know it's early, but where are all the great 80's & 90's videos?? Here's just a few:
1) Free Yourself - Untouchables
2) Unforgettable Fire -U2
3) Slave to the Rhythm - Grace Jones
4) How Soon is Now? - The Smiths
5) Accidents Will Happen - Elvis Costello
6) Shock The Monkey - Peter Gabriel
7) Baby Got Back - Sir Mix-A-Lot
8) Anything by DEVO
9) Change - Tears For Fears
10) Close to the Edit - Art of Noise
11) Once in a Lifetime - Talking Heads
12) Blue Monday '88 - New Order
This is just off the top of my head. It makes me wonder if the people in this department have ever even seen a music video. You have a BUNCH of a-ha videos, and you don't even have "Take On Me, " a popcorn song but one of the most innovative videos of its time??
Don't even start with the "licensing" issues.....whoever owns the rights would PAY Apple to put these videos up so people could buy them.
