What is an IDE?

An ide is and Intergrated Development Environment. They are used to assist a programmer in producing their code. They (the ide's) can complie a users code, show the user error messages, help the user orginize their code...etc...
Some ide's are good. Some ide's are bad. You just have to find one that works well for you.
If you do a search on www.google.com for "java ides" you will get a site that has several free java ide's for download.
Thanks for your time,
Nate

What's YOUR Idea of an "Ideally Organized HD?

What's YOUR Idea of an "Ideally Organized HD?"
I've been giving this a lot of thought lately. Whereas it is obvious that OSX organizes your hard drive better than anything on Windoze, especially when you consider the power derived from using Spotlight, I have been wondering exactly WHAT, WHAT does an Ideally Organized Hard Drive look like? What are it's properties? I don't mean how it should look specifically to YOU, the single user. I mean what does an ideally organized Hard Drive look like to everyone running OSX? (which is everyone). What are some of the components of a ideally organized hard drive? What does it look like/feel like? Not necessarily in order of importance, I'll start this one off:
An Ideally Organized Hard Drive Has These Properties (feel free to add your ideas):
1) All the music, documents, apps, pictures and movies go into their designated locations, just for starters. You may even want to create another main Category such as I did, and call it "All Talk & Sound FX". Here's where I stick my voice, and talk radio, and verbal jokes etc. for example.
2) There are NO identical (duplicate) files, but the thorough and profuse use of Alias files are implemented. {{{if you have duplicates, and you update the one, you necessarily have to update the other, otherwise, you don't have duplicates anymore, right? But if you use an Alias, no matter which file, original or Alias, that you update, BOTH files are updated.}}}
3) The HD is organized for EASY Backup on a daily basis: Everything new gets placed into an "Everything New" file (call it what you want) on the Desktop, then this one folder is backed up daily, saved onto an external HD, then loaded back and now actually saved onto the HD as new stuff just once a week (in accordance to #1); this is the outcome from doing a Restore from this backed-up "Everything New" folder. Everything goes into this "Everything New" folder on a daily basis; however, Applications are installed immediately whereas everything else just gets popped into the "Everything New" folder for holding.
4) Many files are annotated in the Get Info Window with easy to find key words and comments. Spotlight will do the rest my friends!
5) A DMG of the HD (a perfect Clone which is achieved using your Tiger Disk--Disk Utility) is done on a weekly basis (heck, all you have to do is launch the software at night, go to bed, have an automatic shutdown on your Mac for about 3.5 hours later (for a 23GB DMG Disk Image)). {{Note that a Restore from the "Everything New" folder must be done first!, prior to making the DMG}} When this Disk Image is made, it will have All of your Preferences, All of your newly installed applications, All of your Bookmarks, All of your new additions to iCal, All of your new Addresses, EVERYTHING, and therefore these specific folders do NOT have to be backed up **separately** by using this process as I describe.
Once a week you will Restore from this DMG (which takes an hour if you have previously verified/mounted this image), then delete the week-old Backup of the "Everything Folder", because your HD now now has all these files added to it (remember, the key here is to do a Restore from the "Everything New" folder first, before you made the most recent DMG). You can now also delete any old Disk Images that you want, because you will be making more! (I always keep 2 or 3 on hand). You can now also delete any old "Everything New" backups from your External, because you will be making more of these backups as well!
6) Your Hard Drive should utilize the copious amount of custom icons, in order to quickly spot and identify files/folders.
7) You have created shortcuts (Alias') on the HD, which point to spots on the External HD, (which is not only used for Backup as recently described) to facilitate the transfer of large files (example: AIFF's) to/from the external HD. My External HD has a working "Powerbook" folder where these files are saved to, keeping my internal HD at a bare minimum of growing size, yet the files are easily uploaded/downloaded between the external and internal, and viewed, when the External is attached (of course) to the internal.
8) The hard drive lacks any sensitive material whatsoever, i.e. passwords are kept on an external hard drive, and new ones are backed up daily to the Everything New folder. Using a free program such as Password Vault also strengthens this area of security and organization. If the Passwords are kept to an external location, and yet are easily accessed by an Alias, then they are 100% safe to reside on the External, since the External would have to be attached in order for the passwords to be read.
9) Maintenance is run routinely on the HD, using a program such as Onyx, especially before and after the disk image process. You can also schedule Onyx to run the Apple maintenance scripts automatically, when you are asleep. Also part of this maintenance would be running a program such as Disk Warrior, before and after the disk image process. Onyx and Disk Warrior go hand in hand, and although you will not "see" (visually) HOW your HD has been organized more efficiently, you will experience the benefits of using Disk Warrior (faster/more responsive), which organized your HD Directory automatically.
10) Another nice little Utility is SpeedTools, which has a great program for Defraging files. Yes, I've found that Disk Defrag does work. Point #10 does nothing for "organizing", however I make this point because Disk Defrag does indeed help your HD to run more efficiently (thus faster).
*** Ohh by the way, maybe I'm saying the following as a joke, maybe I'm not. But if you follow my suggestions above, you wouldn't be so paranoid about downloading the latest update to Tiger (or Leopard when that comes out) because the old "Archive & Install" option becomes obsolete. If you run into trouble NOW, using my methods, you now have the peace of knowing that you have a perfectly Cloned Disk Image of your valuable, ideally organized Mac HD, residing on an external drive and just waiting to be called into action! ***
Finally, please note that I am not telling you how to organize your hard drive, I am only suggesting this as one way to do it, and the way that I do it. If you have something totally different from this, but it works for you, please post that. If you want to add to what I've said, go right ahead! But if you don't agree with something I've said, then by all means offer your own suggestion and be civil about it! Thanks!

You and everyone else that takes the time to read, and understand what I said, and can benefit from this, is WELCOME! ; )
By the way, I forgot to mention. I use "Micon" a little terrific freeware program (from VersionTracker) to make (initialize) my custom icons. I also use Graphic Converter to make my own original icons of anything I like. Don't underestimate the value in making your own custom icons-- they really stand out from the "standard old blue".

What is the idea of a private chat

Hi
i want to know what is the idea of private chatting? a user can chat with a user in a private room.
public chat is easy. just sending the text to the server and all users can see
what about sending a message to a server and then to a user and both users behind routers or firewalls ?
thanks in advance.

all i want to know how a client connect to a server and the client is behind a routerNo problem with the clients being behind a router or firewall. There is nothing special you need to do. The client just connects to a server it can see.

I placed my aperture library on a 1 TB external drive (the file is 300 GB) and Aperture churns and churns but will not open the file. I don't know if the file is too large or if it is the external drive or what? any ideas? Smaller files will open.

If this is an external USB drive, you must understand that USB is really, really slow. There may be nothing wrong except for that.
In my opinion, USB external drives are only acceptable for backups, and to get "near Hard Drive" performance, you need FireWire.

What's the idea from using one of the Tasks a common cost "Capitalization"?

Hi,
I want to know What is the idea behind using on of the costs included in the work breakdown structure as a common cost as a group level?!!
and Shouldn't i include it in any transaction?!!!(i.e. don't use it in the PO, AP invoices....etc?).
Please i need clarification,
Thanks in advance.

Hi
In any project there could be some type of shared cost, that may be associated with a project as a whole, but it would not be practical to allocate such common cost to each one of the individual tasks.
For example, a construction project will have a task for foundation, plumbing, electric wiring, etc. The project manager, and construction inspector are resources common to all those tasks, and it may be costly to try and allocate directly the hours of those resources to each one of the tasks.

It's A1549 model. Yeah i knew this is US version before i buy this. What i'm confusing now do u think this iphone i bought is a brand new one and why there is a sim card already inside the simcard slot? Even its working smoothly using a network in UAE. Some of my friends bought there US version of iphone but they bought it without simcard inside the sim card slot.

What has the Apple support team done to the Top Sites screen? I just accepted an automatic update to be downloaded to my iMAC, and as a result of this "fix installation" the layout of the Top Sites screen has been terribly "destroyed"! What's the idea?

If you are referring to the non-panorama , but rather the flat look, well that's what they did.

What is the idea behind Render Response and Exception Handling in TF?

Dear All,
While searching for answer for my question, I find it hard to decipher this line.
task flow exception handling doesn't handle any exception that is in Render Response phase
I found this several times in many post like this.
Re: ADF Exception handling (including RENDER RESPNSE PHASE)
and this
Re: Exception Handling in TaskFlow
What's the idea behind exception handling in task flow that is related to JSF/ADF life cycle?
I can't find a resource on why I should know what phase an exception has been thrown?
Sorry if my question might be vague/ignorant to others, but I just would like to know the idea from experts around here. :)
Thanks.
JDEV 11G PS4

Hi,
Render Response is the last lifecycle phase processed during JSF request. The ADF controller has no chance of handling exceptions that occur during this time (example, exception thrown in managed bean) and therefore in its default exception handling implementation ignores this lifecycle phase. As an application developer you don't need to know when an exception is raised. However, if you find that an exception occurs during Render Response and it is not handled by the ADFc declarative exception handler, then you know. You can try and override the framework exception handler as explained here:
https://blogs.oracle.com/jdevotnharvest/entry/extending_the_adf_controller_exception_handler
However, better practice is to use try/catch blocks surrounding e.g. calls in a managed bean that could cause exceptions

What is the idea of a read only forum about a new product ?

My problem is that lightroom 5 crashes when my sony xperia is connected. this worked in the beta. Searching the web and the adobe page i always land in discussion threads that are read only
Q: what is the idea of a read only forum about a new product?

The Lightroom forum is not read-only (evident as you've just posted a question).
The Beta forums in Adobe Labs are locked because the beta program is now closed. If you arrive in the beta forum because of a Web search, you can't reply to the thread but the homepage (and the Lightroom product page) links you to the correct place.

What is the IDE

Hi,
I am learning j2ee.i am developing my applications on jdk.My friend asked me what is the IDE you are using to develop(ex :Net Beans).Can any one give me reply to Know about this IDE concept.

Can you explain why command-line tools are the "proper" way to do things, though? Are you calling me lazy for using an IDE? Yes I'm calling you, myself and everybody who uses a IDE lazy.

The command-line tools should be used when the person is learning, and an IDE when the person is more experienced.
Identical?? <background>
I first studied Java, from start to finnish the institution allocates 12 weeks for SE EE and ME.
We were not allowed to use an IDE for the first 4 weeks of the SE part (SE was 6 weeks long).
The whole time I and other java students were asked by the C# students for help.
I then did C# (Got bored after 3 weeks-so I stopped) same time period.
The IDE(SharpeDevelop) is introduce in the first example.
</background>
Quote from my C# study guide:
This language has roots in C, C++ and Java thus making migration easy for existing programmers. More like Microsoft Copied Java but added more Windows specific capabilities.
The syntax is very very similar with some small differences.
And logic is identical - come on its just logic.
Here is a simple C# program
Try see the similaritoes between java and C#:
using System;
public class BubbleSort{
public delegate bool Comparator(int num1, int num2);
public static void SortArray(int[] array, Comparator Comp){
    for(int pass = 0; pass < array.Length; pass++){
      for(int i = 0; i < array.Length - 1;i++){
        if(Comp(array, array[i+1]))
Swap(ref array[i], ref array[i + 1]);
public static void Swap(ref int num1, ref int num2){
int tmp = num1;
num1 = num2;
num2 = tmp;
public class BubbleSortProgram{
int[] intArray = new int[10];
public static void Main(){
BubbleSortProgram bsp = new BubbleSortProgram();
bsp.run();
public void run(){
do{
printNumbers();
Console.WriteLine("Sort asc/desc? a/d");
string ans = Console.ReadLine();
if(ans.Equals("x")){
break;
if(ans.Equals("a")){
BubbleSort.SortArray(intArray, new BubbleSort.Comparator(SortAscending));
} else if(ans.Equals("d")){
BubbleSort.SortArray(intArray, new BubbleSort.Comparator(SortDescending));
printResults();
}while(true);
private bool SortAscending(int num1, int num2){
return num > num2;
private bool SortDescending(int num1, int num2){
return num < num2;
public void printNumbers(){
Random r = new Random();
for(int i = 0;i<intAtrray,Length;i++){
intArray[i] = r.Next(100);
Console.WriteLine(intArray[i]);
public void priintResults(){
foreach(int num in intArray){
Console.WriteLine("Sorted : " + num);
Only real difference is the fact that you can pass a method as a argument by making use of delegates as a delegate is a reference to a method.
and Console class.

What kind of ide compiler is suitable?

i really want to find a subtle and wonderful ide for java compiler. which one is, you think, the most suitable for just write a small program as an exercise or assignment?
text editor and dos prompt are simple enough but really weak to debug the code; jbuilder is great but for enterprise use only, forte( or now java one studio?) is so unfamiliar to me...microsoft j++? what is it?...i used to use java workshop which is nice for me to debug short program(only 1 or 2 classes) but now it is replaced by forte... by the way, forte and jbuilder is so resource consuming...anyone could give some ideas?

i can't specify it. but my system is really slowed down. the cpu in my computer is celeron1000 and memory is 256m. i do like workshop distributed by sun. i do sun shall concentrate on the development of standard of java and devise new techniques for java world, not developming a ide for enterprise uses. for not only the huge companies but much more independences contribute to the development of java, which is the source of life for SUN.

Hey What About This Idea

I tried to find an earlier post about this, and I didn't see anything. I apologize if it has already been discussed.
How about a "Tab in Tab" browsing feature being added. In other words, having the ability to view two (or more) tabs at once. It comes up for me all the time. I am browsing on one tab, and I am waiting for something to happen in another. It would be great to me if I could see a small version of the one tab while I was browsing for other things in the other tab.
Thoughts?

Ahh! But I don't want a thumbnail. I want a live page.
i.e. I play chess online. I can do a search for another player that can sometimes take some time. While I am waiting it would be nice to be able to browse in another tab, but currently if I am viewing another tab, I have no idea what is happening in the first tab.
Or suppose I am waiting for a file to finish downloading, or a movie to start playing, etc.

My lock button broke a while ago on my phone, and two minutes ago my screen just went black. my phone didn't die because it was on 80%, i don't know what happened. any ideas on how to turn it back on or what happened?

my lock button broke a while ago on my phone, and two minutes ago my screen went comletely black. it was simply placed on my table. i know it didn't die because it was on 80%, but any ideas on how to turn it back on or what happened to my phone?

If plugging it into power doesn't cause it to power back on, you're going to have to make an appointment at the genius bar and get it serviced.
