Hi,
I do not have much experience in programming and would liek to know if for instance I install a Java SDK in ubuntu and then create and application, when it is compiled, is it usable for Windows too or do I have to specify the platform when I start writing the application project?

Thanks in advance.

plugged the 2nd HD in, it never started up again. No 'pop', no smoke, no nothing. The hardrive doesnt have any spots that look melted or burnt. I also put in a 650watt power supply. Is it possible I had too many add-ons for the motherboard to handle, or do you think it might be the switch in the front of the case that quit working?

I have an Epson R1800 photo ink jet printer.
Brilliant printer - when printing colour.

I set out to print 500 leaflets and 1/2 way through found i had to replace my Cyan ink, Blue and now it's begging me to replace my Red - why?

It's a black and white text leaflet, so why is it draining all my colour cartridges?

Is there a way to just print black, matt black at that and leave the other 7 cartridges alone?

OK, here's my story-one day, when I booted up the computer, it didn't recignize the hard drive. Many days later, I wiggled the cable, and got it function. Unfortunaltely, it can't boot windows because just as the computer is about to end the loading, it reboots.

I have 1 phone line in my house other then my DSL line, they are both dedicated lines coming from the interface where the phone enters the house. When I first got DSL the phone man put a DSL filter directly on the DSL line directly after the interface. But I still experience loss of my phone for days, yet my DSL still works. Anyone have any answers before I call the telephone company ?

Even if it can differentiate between just 2 colors wud be sufficient. I need to capture data from a monitor using photodiodes for processing in an 8051 microcontroller. Any other suggestion for data stream capture wud be greatly appreciated. And please specify any special photodiodes if used.

first, my mom went and deleted some cookies,
and now i don't have a homepage on my internet explorer
(it was myspace) and now i can't edit&save my group on
myspace. i'm wondering if that has to do with what my
mom did because it keeps saying something about cookies:
#GetResourceText('#ResourceFile#','ErrorMessage','#CountryCookieData#'


i'm also getting tons of pop-ups and warnings about anit-spyware on my computer. so far all of them say somethings wrong with my computer and i have to buy a certain anti-spyware to fix it. is it a real problem, or a scan? and if is a real problem, how do i fix it with having to spend 40 bucks?

Windows - out of virtual memory

X your system is low on virtual memory. To ensure that Windows runs properly, increase the size of your virtual memory paging file.

How do I do that? Thanks in advance!
