Why my XCode always compiles so slowly?

I am using a latest version of MacBook Pro with 2Ghz 4core + 4G memory. But the XCode is really unbareablely slow in building my project (with 10k+ files in 100+ projects). Sometimes, I can see it compiles very fast as the number of files get compiled in the status bar increases very fast. But sometimes, it keeps no change for more than 10 minutes like "Compiling 10 of 38 source files...".
By running command "top", I find that process cclobjplus is working with low CPU usage, and number of FAULTS is increasing fast.
And sometimes, XCode will quit abnormally during compiling and then all files need be recompiled again.
Any tips on resolving my problem with XCode?
I really feel angry with XCode!
BTW:
I am using XCode 3.2.6 on Mac OS 10.6.8.
I am not the only one who is complaining about this, but I can't find a solution via google.

Yes, you are.
You could try updating to some recent version of Xcode that comes with a new, super-fast compiler called clang.

Why do i always get the Japanese version of JRE/JDK?

why do i always get the Japanese version?
i am in tokyo and i just want to get the English version of JRE and JDK. Why is it so difficult, I have been trying for the last 8 hours to find mirrors and other versions and installing all of them only to see they are all in Japanese and I don't know why. I checked my settings, my local language is German or English, i.e. not Japanese, and always I install it it's in Japanese and afterwards I get the compiler messages in Japanese and I don't understand them.
And then... why is it so difficult to make a comment at sun? i have been to ibm's page and google, you just fill out a form send it, it takes 5 secs, here it takes 20 minutes to find where you can ask a question, then some more to fill out the questionaire...
could you pls tell me where to get the US/english version for jre 1.4.2.x and jdk 1.4.2.x?

You probally ARE getting the english version. If you are using a japanese version of windows or an english version of windows with the locale setting set to Japan then all of the menus (including the installer) will be displayed in japanese. So it just seems like you are installing a japanese version.
To check your local in windows 2000 go to the control panel and then choose regional options. Then, select the general tab and change your locale to one of the English locales. Also, if you want to keep your locale setting set to Japan there are other workarounds. However, first try this.

Can't see why I can't compile this

I can't seem to compile this code, and yet its supposed to because this is how our professor gave it to us on the website. Can anyone tell me what I need to make it compile? Thanks in advance.
ArrayList list = new ArrayList(5);
list.add(0, new Object());
list.add(new Object());
Object object = list.remove(1);
ArrayList<Player> players = new ArrayList<Player>(10);
class Player implements Comparable<Player> {
public int compareTo(Player player) {
class PlayerNameComparator implements Comparator<Player> {
public int compare(Player player1, Player player2) {
class MyStack {
public int tos;
public Comparable list[];
// public ArrayList<Player> list;
public MyStack() {
    tos = 0;
    list = new Comparable[10];
public Comparable pop() {
    tos--;
    Comparable comparable = list[tos];
    list[tos] = null;
    return comparable;
public void push(Comparable element) {
    list[tos] = element;
    tos++;
public String toString() {
    String data = new String();
    MyStack temp = new MyStack();
    Comparable element = null;
    while (this.tos > 0) {
      element = this.pop();
      temp.push(element);
      data = data + element.toString();
    while (temp.tos > 0) {
      this.push(temp.pop());
}

The compiler always produces helpful messages which describe why text won't compile. If you can't understand them it would be a good idea to post those compiler messages.

When i Boot up, why is "Preview" always open ?

Hi, i know i dont need to do it, but when i shut down, i have been making sure that all the Programs i have been using are Shut Down, getting rid of the white dots in the Dock.
I know that Finder is always there and cannot be Shut Down, but i Shut Down "Preview" and it is always opened up again when i Start my Lap Top up again.
I guess it isnt that important to know, but why does PREVIEW always OPEN automatically when i Boot Up ?.
thanks for looking.

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on?

Why does Firefox always block any link I try to open going to a web page when I don't have pop up blocker on? First off they are not even pop ups....your crap blocks everything and don't save user names &/or passwords when you have it checked. Also in your tutorials about solving this issue says it has the word "OPTION" .......no, it never says option to allow you to bypass it and etc. Only thing is says is "ALLOW" . That would be nice , but the problem is it will not allow it from then on. It only allows it right then and then you have to refresh...after that to open again it blocks it again.....HOW STUPID?!!!!!
It always say that this is preventing this page from automatically redirecting to another page. THIS IS WHAT I AM TRYING TO DO...GO TO ANOTHER PAGE........I DON'T NEED YOUr BROWSERS PERMISSION TO DO THAT. THAT IS WHAT A *%#$&*(&*%$$%% BROWSER IS FOR TO GO TO OTHER PAGES......THEY ARE NOT POP UPS!!!!!
YOU STUPID BROWSER ACTUALLY BLOCKS EVERYTHING AND THAT SUX!!!
HELP!!

Why does Bridge always sort images by rating instead of by date modified?

Why does Bridge always sort images by rating instead of by date modified?
This drives me bonkers. Everytime I look for an image I've been working on, I go to Bridge and I'm always presented with the images sorted by rating instead of by date.
Then I click on the microscopic sized, extremely tiny arrow that allows one to choose 'sort by date modified' and I resort them to find the file I need. So that's always 3 extra clicks to find the image.
WHY can't Bridge sort images by date modified and STAY that way every time I come back?
Thanks for any help.
I know I could just keep the recent files rated the highest, but still, I'm wondering if there's a way to make it work the way I'd like it to work?
jn
p.s. Note to Adobe: Please make the selection button for sorting images arrow larger than a fraction of the size of the period at the end of this sentence. Thanks.

WHY can't Bridge sort images by date modified and STAY that way every time I come back?
By default it does stay at the latest selected sort order so this could mean it is due to your install.
First of all try to reset the preferences for Bridge, hold down option key while restarting Bridge and choose reset preferences. This sets it all to default. First try if the problem is solved then set prefs again to your own custom wishes.
Also check and repair permissions for the OSX itself (Apple has disk utility in the utility folder for this job, and there are other 3th party applications)
And be sure to have the latest update for Bridge. (Bridge CS5 should be 4.0.5.11)
In addition to the method Tai Lao pointed you already to there is a third option, use right click mouse button in content window and the pop up menu has also the sort option at the bottom of the row

Why is iTunes always a week behind in new releases

Why is iTunes always a week behind in new releases.
The past couple of weeks/months whenever I click on for the full list of new
releases on tuesday its a week behind .
Right now its showing march 27, 2007.
Tomorrow it probably will show april 3, 2007.
greg

The iTunes Store isn't a week behind in new releases themselves, it's just a week (or more) behind in the music New to iTunes summary listing. I've been told by the Apple Store that it's a problem with the utility that automatically generates that list and that they're aware of it, but clearly it's not fixed yet.

Why do I always have to argue with BT?

Since an engineer visited me on Monday, my noise ration has been gradually creeping up, and my sync speed gradually falling.
Obviously they are both related.
So, I email the MODS and asked for them to lower my noise ratio to 3 up, 3 down, as it has been for years... infact it has been as low as 2, an I have had a perfectly stable connection.
The MODS reply?
The optimum noise margin is 6 dB, typically anything lower than that can cause stability and anything higher than that indicates a noise or instability problem (though a noise margin of 9 dB is still acceptable).
Whilst the sync speed may be somewhat lower than what it was in the past, it is normal for speeds to fluctuate and there's nothing there indicating your speed has decreased due to a fault as your noise margin is good and you have a low number of error seconds and no drop-outs over the last three + days.
I would advise though to keep an eye out for any deterioration in service (i.e. stability/drop-outs) as if the problem returns we can see about getting that checke out further.
I know all of that, Im not stupid!
I also know that a sync speed dropping from 18meg to 14meg is not usual fluctuations in speed, because I know my service, I've had it for 10 years!!!!
Im going to post stats from my previous supplier, then from BT.

Do other devices on the Wi-Fi network have the same issue? If so, it's a setting in the Wi-Fi router.

Why won't this compile?
Here is my code:

}

What you're doing is using days after the if statement; without curly braces only a valid statement is allowed.
But if you add curly braces, days will be available only in the if block.
So what you should do is:
import java.util.Calendar;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
public class GetAge{
public static void main(String[] args){
int month=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog
(null,"Enter what month(MM) you were born:"));
int day=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog
(null,"Enter what day(dd) you were born:"));
int year=Integer.parseInt(JOptionPane.showInputDialog
(null,"Enter what year(yyyy) you were born:"));
Calendar rightNow = Calendar.getInstance();
int year2 = rightNow.get(Calendar.YEAR);
int day2 = rightNow.get(Calendar.DATE);
int month2 = rightNow.get(Calendar.MONTH)+1;
int years = year2-year-1;
int months = month2-month+12;
int days = 0;      //declare here
if(day2 >= day)
   days = day2-day; //...and use here
else
   days = day-day2+8;   //..and here
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You are: " + years
+ " years " + months + " months and " + days + " days old.");
}

Why is Firefox always displaying previous tabs when it opens?

After I use Firefox and close the browser, the next time I open the browser it will reload ALL the tabs I had open previously. I have turned off this feature in the "options", but it's not working. ALSO, if I click on any link which is going to open a new window of Firefox, it will not go to that website, but instead load all the tabs that were open previously....again!

This is for Microsoft SQL Server, not for Oracle.
If you get "out of memory" it's not a database logfile problem but a memory problem.

When is this happening?

Why report is always select statement...

hi guys,
when we are dragging the columns from Business Area or in any reporting tool, and when we see the SQL, why it gives always select query.
this question is raised by one of my manager having 15+ years of experience in Oracle Apps.
Any suggestions?

Ok, if I understand it, he wants to know why any query tool uses SQL (ie: select) to display the data.
And the answer is actually really simple - it's the only way to get data from an Oracle database.
That's it ... there's absolutely, positively no other way of getting data back from an Oracle (ie: relational) database.
It doesn't matter if you use Discoverer, Cognos, Brio, Business Objects, Microsoft products via ODBC, etc., everything boils down to a SELECT statement eventually.
So in Discoverer, the workbook / worksheets that you create keep information about the 'presentation' of that data - ie: colors, fonts, titles, graphs, etc. but the retrieval of data will always be in SQL - and as it sounds like you noticed - you can view the SQL in Discoverer if you desire.
Look at it this way - in Discoverer you're saying "go get me AP_Invoice information, where I want the invoice number, the invoice date, the invoice amount, the vendor name, the vendor number, etc. ... and I want the total of the invoice amount when I enter a date range".
That's the coding in Discoverer. The minute you invoke that code - ie: run the worksheet - badda' bing ... badda' boom ... it initiates a SQL command to the Discoverer database tables (via a folder in the EUL) probably something like: select invoice_number, invoice_date, invoice_amount, vendor_name, vendor_number from ap_invoices where invoice_date between '01-JAN-2008' and '03-JAN-2008'.
The Oracle database comes back with the data, dumps it into Discoverer and Discoverer does all the fancy layouts, colors and totals ... and everyone's happy.
So again, the only way to communicate with an Oracle database using ANY TOOL is via SQL (and the SELECT statement is the fundamental way of retrieving data). And for the Oracle Apps guy you mentioned, that includes all the Oracle Apps Forms (screens), Oracle Apps reports, changing user passwords, the concurrent manager ... etc.
It's a SQL Select world when it comes to Oracle!
