Another gelatinous blob, but this one stinks (Aug 13 2003 11:14 GMT) - "LITTLE EGG HARBOR TOWNSHIP, New Jersey (AP) -- It smells like rotten eggs at best, decomposing flesh at worst. It looks like the pods from "Invasion of the Body Snatchers." "It's frightening," said Eileen Masterson. "We can't swim because the odor is so horrible and we won't crab here because we don't know whether it's safe" " The substance, which was noticed about two weeks ago, consists of jelly-like bulbs that undulate with the waves just below the surface. " What is it... |

Helpline Comment (22987) (Aug 13 2003 11:14 GMT) - To: LittleEgghead Re: more on permissions One thing just came to me, by your response to my previous suggestion to you. You say you only have 1 user account on the system. If you are logging into your user account and trying to write files outside of your user home directory, you will definitely run into your "permission denied" problem. |

Omniscient Debugging (Aug 13 2003 11:14 GMT) - The debugger works by collecting "time stamps" which record everything that happens in a program. A GUI then allows the you to navigate backwards in time to look at objects, variables, method calls, etc. This means that you can see which values are bad, then find where those values came from, who set them and why. This also means that there are no non-deterministic problems. You don't have to guess where the problems might be, you don't have to set breakpoints, you don't have to wonder which threads ran when, you don't ever have to repeat a program run. |

JComboEditor (Aug 13 2003 11:14 GMT) - JComboEditor - RTF & Text Editor-EMailer Combo - JEditorCombo has a JTabbed interface, one offering RTF document manipulation and the other a multi-featured plain text editor that offers sending the current document via email. - The plain text editor will not append any file name extension during new document saving. You may use whatever file name extension you like. I recommend using a .txt extension due to the filter being used by the file chooser. |
