  • Drupal content being shown by google incorrectly?

    I've got a website with a Drupal 6 installation and some content arranged in the form of books.

    However, when I look at google analytics and search the keywords that tracked into my site, I see something like example.com/book/export/html/12 instead of example.com/content/ContentName (the clean URL in question, ie instead of /node/#####).

    It appears to be /book (content type) /export (??) /html /12 (book 1, page 2) as I can also go to /book/export/10, /11, etc.

    When you follow the link from Google none of the other things like sidebars, login, logo, etc are displaying, only the content which would be embedded in the normal node.

    Any suggestions?

  • DIY domain name renewals?

    My domain is up for renewal in a little over a month.

    Is there a way to renew my domain name for cheap, or do I have to pay the price my current host is asking? I see all these specials for like $1.99 registrations but I think that entails switching hosts. I was looking for a DIY way if possible.

  • Drive partitioning on eeePC (linux dual boot Q)?

    I'd like to dual boot with Gentoo on my eeePC, except I'm not quite sure how to partition the drive.

    The eee drive layout:

    /dev/sda1 50978MB NTFS (Windows partition)

    (blank space)

    /dev/sda4 22MB EFI partition for fast booting on the eeePC

    (note, both of the above are Primary partitions)

    Now, according to the instructions I need a /boot of 100MB, a swap of about 2GB, and the rest for /. Except with that I'd be getting a total of 5 logical partitions, and the max is 4.

    Do I ditch the /boot partition, make a swap and a /, or do I make a logical partition?

    I'm not quite sure what to do; I normally let wizards do the linux partitioning for me. Ubuntu 9.04, while nice, crashed 3x a day with only gedit open. The Gentoo recommended layout is for erasing the entire drive, what should I do?

    Thanks

  • Diagnosing memory leak in IIS?

    We have a server running IIS, which is incredibly slow performance-wise. The server itself is more than enough to run the intranet system.

    We believe one of the pages has a memory leak, but are not entirely sure. When we restart IIS performance speeds up, but that lasts all of 5-10 min. With a memory leak it could be any page, since there are hundreds of pages open at any given time. There are also about a hundred different pages with associated VB or CS files. I can't debug every file, so is there a way to narrow the search?

    Thanks in advance!

  • How do I check the class in Java (boolean expression)?

    I have a few classes in a heirarchy, and I would like to check the class. I'm trying to write an expression that goes something like this:

    if (tileArr[row][col] <is of the class Floor>)

    return ((Floor)tileArr[row][col]).getItem();

    The tileArr contains other classes, so I need to check the class to make sure I don't get a class cast exception.

    So how can I do this?

  • How do I enter changes to a JTextField with a JButton?

    I have a JButton button and a JTextField textfield. The textfield has an int. Right now I have an ActionListener for the button click, and when it's clicked, it's supposed do amount= Integer.parseInt(textfield.getText()). However, this is causing a Null Pointer Exception because there's nothing defined for amount. How do I change this? I can't have the JTextField update on hitting the enter key, since I need to press the button instead. Do I need a listener class for the JTextField? What class would I use?

  • The closed form of sum?

  • Help with closed form of sums?

    I have 2 series I need to get the closed form for.

    1+4+7+10+...+(3n+1)=?

    [Knowing that 1+2+...+n=n(n+1)/2]

    and

    1+2^2+2^4+...+2^(2n) = ?

    [Knowing 1+x+x^2+...+x^n = (x^(n+1)-1) / (x-1)] Obviously this is each term squared, but I don't know where to go from there.

    Can anyone tell me what the answer is, and how they got to it? The other problems from the set I've been able to solve just by looking at it, but these are a little trickier.

  • Some simple-ish Java questions?

    I have an Action listener for my Java GUI that receives a text input. I want to check to see if the text is a string of 12 integers (no spaces), then run code based on whether the above statement is true or not.

    I have String var1 = textField.getText(); but when I try to do length(var1) Eclipse is spitting out an error. "The method length(String) is not valid for the type <ActionListener>"

    How can I make this into a usable format so I can test the length of the input. How could I then perform mathematical calculations based on the values at each character position?

    Example: Inputting a string of 123456789012, which is of length 12, then I need to do some calculation like (3+7)/(4+6). I was thinking of using charAt() and then converting that to a integer somehow but I'm at a loss of how to do it.

  • Which RAID configuration is best to use in a gaming PC?

    I'm going to build a PC and was wondering for RAID configuration. I'm going to have 3 (or 4, depends on RAID) drives.

    I'm currently looking at:

    RAID0 for 2 drives, plus an additional backup/storage drive

    OR

    RAID5 with 3 drives (can you do it with 3, or does it have to be 4? Every illustration I've seen has 4 drives)

    OR

    RAID0+1 with 4 drives. Of course this is a tad bit more expensive than the other methods since it requires another drive.

    TIA

  • CAS Latency vs clock speed?

    I'm looking at RAM for a P35 chipset build I'm going to do in the near future. I'm currently pricing out stuff so I can watch sales and buy later.

    The motherboard I'm going to use is the GA-P35-DS3R from Gigabyte, and although they have a list of approved RAM modules that will work in the system, it's not totally up to date (ie they only list like 2 2GB modules they've tested). I was interested in a 4GB Kit (2x 2gb).

    So what's better? DDR2 1066Mhz 5-5-5-18 or DDR2 800 4-4-4-15? I'd be gaming on this PC.

    Also, I haven't seen any DDR2 1066 ram with a CAS of 4. Am I just not looking hard enough or does it not exist?

  • Best Nvidia 8800 series card?

    Alright, I've been staring at computer specs for hours now, and have been wondering what in everyone's opinion is the best of the 8800 series. I'm looking for best performance without totally putting the K.O. to my bank account. You guys know what I'm talking about, sometimes there's like a $50 increase for paper improvement but has no real world application.

    According to this site, the 8800GT OC (512mb) is only slightly better than the GTX (768mb), and only a tad bit above the GTS (640mb). I've also seen the GTS in a 320 and 640mb variety.

    I'm not getting SLI atm, but I'm also not above trying to OC it (haven't ever done it before, but I'm knowledgeable enough to do try), but know it's going to be air cooled and not water cooled. I also wouldn't overclock it until I needed the card to keep up with mainstream games.

    So I'm looking for suggestions for best value 8800 series, with and without overclocking (2 Qs here really, tell me both), all other things being equal.

    TIA.
