  • Basic Objective C question?

    I'm learning Objective C and I wanted to make a super simple program for some practice. I get the error message "no getter method for read from property." What can I do to fix this? Here's my program so far:

    #import <Foundation/Foundation.h>

    //----Interface----

    @interface Person: NSObject

    - (void) setHeight: (double) h;

    - (void) setWeight: (double) w;

    @end

    //----Implementation

    @implementation Person

    {

    double height;

    double weight;

    }

    - (void) setHeight:(double)h;

    {

    height = h;

    }

    - (void) setWeight:(double)w;

    {

    weight = w;

    }

    @end

    //----Program----

    int main(int argc, const char * argv[])

    {

    @autoreleasepool {

    Person *p1 = [[Person alloc] init];

    [p1 setHeight: 5.9];

    [p1 setWeight:165];

    NSLog (@"Person is %f feet tall and weighs %f LBS", p1.height, p1.weight); // FIXME

    }

    return 0;

    }

  • Best SSD for Macbook Pro (late 2011)?

    I want to upgrade to an SSD, but I don't know much about them other than they don't have moving parts and they are quite a bit faster than the traditional hard drive. What is the best SSD for a Macbook Pro? and for the price? I would prefer to spend less than $200 but I have some leeway with that. I heard the Crucial M4 was a good drive, but I read a review on it that said there were some firmware issues with it. I'm not sure I understand that... doesn't the drive just run the operating system? Anyway, thanks in advance for you help.

  • how to enable both the built in macbook pro screen and an external screen?

    i just got a macbook pro 13 inch (OSX 10.7.2), and i plugged in the mini display port to gain some extra desktop space, but when i plugged it in, the display on the laptop turned off, and whenever i unplug the display cable the mac turns off, so now i can only use the external monitor (samsung syncmaster b2330), so i am wondering how i can have both of them on at the same time... that and have it so that i can unplug the cable and be able to actually use the laptop. i would really appreciate some help.

  • linux graphics driver and hard drive questions?

    i made a dual boot on my computer between windows vista and linux ubuntu 10.04. i can have two monitors on vista, but when i try to do it on linux, it doesn't work. it says my driver doesn't support it, so where can i get the driver that can let me do this?

    i would also like a larger partition of linux because i only have 10 gb for linux. i tried doing this in gparted and in the vista computer management program, but neither of them will let me touch the linux partition or change it in any way. how do you do it?

    could someone please give easy step by step answers? thanks!

  • my right ankle is hurting after a run?

    so i've been running alot this year, and i've noticed that my right ankle "cracks" or "pops" often when i'm running. it occurs at the back of my ankle (very near the Achilles tendon). this has gone on for about 4 to 5 months. today i noticed that my right calf hurt on my 7.5 mile run. it was tight, and my ankle was "popping" also. about an hour after my run, my ankle started to hurt, so i tried massaging my ankle and my calf, but that didn't help. i'm noticing my ankle when i walk now, so it's kind of worrying me. i'm on a cross country team, so i've been running about 6 or 7 miles per day since the beginning of june, and before that i was on the track team. do you have any ideas on what the problem is (if there is one) and do you have a way to fix it? i'm going to ice it tonight.

  • jailbroken ipod touch 2g problems?

    so i have a jailbroken iPod touch 2g (redsn0w) running 3.1.3 firmware. for the past few months i've had some problems with it randomly turning off when it's in lock mode, and when i go to turn it back on, it is unresponsive, so i have to reboot it by holding down the power button and the home button. when it eventually turns back on (it takes much longer rebooting when this happens than turning it back on when it's normal) the battery life (starting from a full charge) can be anywhere from 50% to 0%. i have re-jailbroken it several times with different jailbreaking programs (blackra1n and spirit) and have even uninstalled winterboard and a few other programs i had gotten from cydia, but it didn't help at all. it happened to me when i was running 3.1.2 also. my friend has a jailbroken ipod touch running 3.1.2, but it doesn't happen to him. i need help!!! i'm running out of ideas...

    is there a case or something that you could use to get 3g on your ipod touch 2nd generation so you could make Voip calls and send emails and stuff like that without wifi? would it be worth switching from a verizon cell plan to a skype plan and use my ipod touch as a 3g cellphone with a skype number? what would be the price difference? could you save any money?
