consider str is a variable of type String.

(1)if( str.toLowerCase() == "answer" )
will ALWAYS NO MATTER WHAT return FALSE.

(2)if( str.equalsIgnoreCase ( "answer" ) )
will return TRUE if the condition is met.

The above is the code I have written for a program. Unfortunately, when I try statement (1) it ALWAYS return false. In other language (I've learned C), the statement is correct. Why is Java interpreting it wrongly?

What is the difference between condition (1) and (2)?
Why is that condition in (1) will always return False?

A long and detailed explanation is highly appreciated. Thx.

Use your own words (simple yet clear) and describe to me the definition and each of the functions of:

1. RAM

2. Processor

3. Hard drive

4. Graphic Card

5. Video Card

6. Optical drive

7. Modem

8. Router

9. Server - in what situation we need to use servers? what do servers do? how do they work?

10. Storage

11. Networking

Thank you in advance!
I have an interview tomorrow, I find it hard to explain all those terms verbally. I need your help! Thank you again!

If it just suddenly popped out of existence, how serious would the consequences be? Obviously shopping sites and forums, as well as social nteworking sites, would disappear and so there would be a lot of angry domestic subscribers, but what about more crucial aspects of the economy and infrastructure- would these be adversely affected or do they have contingencies?

Thanks!

Write a fully-documented class named RequestQueue that must be derived as a subclass of Vector from the Java API. You should provide a constructor and the standard methods enqueue(), dequeue(), size(), and isEmpty() as were discussed in lecture.

DOES that mean that I gotta have a vector object as a private member and make that object work as a queue using functions from the vector class, but at the end I will have my deque, enque, size, empty......

is my thought right or not?

and on the header of the class I would have something like:

public class RequestQueue extends Vector
{
..............
}
if I have extends....I don't see the point because I could simply put this before the class header...

import java.util.*;

help please

Hello all,

I think the question is pretty clear. Just to specify that it's about development of web sites, not some local use.

Please answer if you have experience with at least 2 of these platforms and can compare them from your experience.

Web links to bench tests would be appreciated too, if they are out of the platform developers networks.

Thank you in advance!

would it be bad to get a power supply that can provide more power then the computer needs in some cases? meaning if sometimes you were on 480 watts and then later you would run on 1000 watts.

The red hightlighted components are in an error state! Please pay urgent atention to their configuration!
Anti-Virus: Internal Virus Database is out-of-date.

(So does that mean it's not on the Database at all?)
(Does that mean no one can get excess to it?)

what should i do? please help.

I was woundering if my video card's clock core speed should match my memory speed in order to run well?My memory ram in my slots are 800 soo should I get ATI 2600xt?Its core clock speed is 800.There isnt too many reveiws on these yet so I was goin to wait a little while before I just decide to get xfx 8600 gt xxx.ITs a good card based by all the reviews.I have nothing yet except whats in my 6100 board.
I also am installing a 585w psu this week end.The reason i got one this big is for when the 8800's come down on price in a year or so i can afford to get it.Only got 1 pci e slot so i wont use any sli.Unless they come out with a two in one adapter by then.lol Heyya
