    Read start of CSV file with JS/jQuery

    Hi, One way you could do this is to write a service on the server that will give you the a description of what the file to be imported should look like e.g number of fields per line, separator etc. That could be sent back to the JS in a JSON structure etc. As it's unlikely to change that could...

    Fallout 3 - Graphics problems

    Hi, Thanks for the advice. I tried using the 8.9 drivers and still get the corruption and CTD happening frequently e.g after ten minutes. I'll try different drivers and more RAM and more patches in the hope that fixes things in the end. Probably is a great game, but unfortunately one I won't...

    Fallout 3 - Graphics problems

    Hi, I had a few problems with Call of Duty 4 with the sound causing graphics to stop, but updating the audio drivers largely seemed to sort that out. Did get a few instances of corrupted/missing textures though, particularly when targeting a weapon such as the sniper rifle. Everything else...

    Fallout 3 - Graphics problems

    Hi, Not too sure whether to post this here or the Graphics cards forum. I'm having some major problems with Fallout 3, the intro movie is corrupted - pieces of graphic stuck on screen, other bits wobbling around. In addition the game crashes so often it's unplayable. My PC is running XP...

    Java - Need Helping With Coding The Logic For This Scenario

    Hi, Here's another way of doing it. Create a class to hold the value of a coin and the number in the container. Create an ArrayList of these sorted from the highest coin value to the lowest. Use a HashMap to hold the details of the coins returned in the change, indexed by the unique coin...

    Java Certification - worth the effort?

    That's the reason I'd need the SCJP too, in order to do the other Sun courses. I guess Sun want to know that people doing the later courses know their stuff. After all, if people passed the Sun certifications without needing to know what their doing then that devalues everyone that has passed...

    Java Certification - worth the effort?

    Hi, I spent quite a bit of time doing the coursework for the SCJP course (Java 5). I think it's well worth the effort. It's a tough course and you learn a lot about Java, not all of which you'd necessarily pick up otherwise. I never got around to doing the exam du to work commitments etc. but...

    XML / XSD - Form validation help

    Hi, One way you could do this would be to write a library of JavaScript validation routines in a JavaScript file that your page includes. The HTML produced from the XSLT would then produce JavaScript code to call these functions, rather than producing the validation code itself. For example...

    Philips 37" TV - Opinion

    Hi, I've been given the chance of buying a second-hand Phillips 37PF7411 TV (37" LCD TV) for around £400. I know it's a couple of years old now but was wondering if it is still a decent enough TV in terms of picture quality, sound etc. It would be used mainly for watching TV/DVD, and a small...

    Time scales

    Hi, I usually split the work up into identifiable chunks. Then I assign it a number of days depending on how complex I think it's going to be for either yourself or the person it's being given to do: 3 days - Difficult 2 days - Moderate 1 day - Easy change If a piece of work is going...

    Thanks. I'll give it a go. :)

    Updating DNS Entry

    Hi, I've running an appserver on Windows XP Pro. The server kicks off a number of processes when it starts up by communicating with them using an entry held in the DNS e.g it uses a name that equates to an IP address. This DNS entry points back to the local machine by it's IP address on the...

    A bit of project research

    Hi, You might also want to look at RESTful web-services, Ajax and possibly JSON as alternatives to SOAP and web-services. The new JSR172 (Mobile devices using Web-Services) might also be worth investigating - don't know much about that though. Implementing web-services in Java isn't...

    Project reports/overviews

    Hi, Have you looked at things like SSADM for the analysis + design aspect? Lots of info on the web about this. IMHO just about the most important pieces of documentation are the business requirements. You can figure out what largely undocumented code is doing, but without the business...

    Tomcat + IIS = no basic windows authentication

    Hi, Have you looked at Remote Address Filter and Remote Host Filter valves in Tomcat? These restrict access to users whose IP address or hostname (respectively) matches one or more regular expressions. You might also need to make changes in your web.xml to tell Tomcat that security applies to...

    Spring framework & URI.

    Hi, From what I've read the taglib provides Spring-specific tags for the various HTML items e.g form, input etc. So, rather than just use the standard HTML object the item defined in the taglib is referenced. This enables Spring to map the fields on the screen to their values in the beans...

    Data manipulation

    Hi, I'd tackle this by loading the data into tables on a database and then using SQL to compare the sets of data. The current information will be held on a table. Read the new information into another table (or a temporary table if the database supports this). You can then compare the two sets...

    Question about hexadecimal.

    Hi, From what I remember two's complement is used to present negative numbers. If you take 19 as binary: 128 64 32 16 8 4 2 1 (bits) 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 1 To convert to the negative number (-19) use two's complement. Invert the bits and add one...

    Question about casting

    Hi, In the first example the (int * int) will result in an integer being produced. The resulting number will be too large to hold in an int so the error will appear (turned to a negative number by the left-most bit being set). Casting to a long will have no effect on the outcome (it's the...
