I heard about the flying without fear program that Virgin has that helps get people flying. Does anyone know if there are other airline companies that have programs like this in the U.S?

Can't find any information online. Is there a common protocol or are they proprietary to each manufacturer?

I started as an intern at a software company 9 months ago. About 3 months ago I graduated and the internship technically became a part time job. I am looking for a full time position else where, but I am not sure if I should list my current job as an internship or a job.

I think it would look bad if I listed it as a job but left after only 9 months. Seems like that would be OK if I listed it as an internship though.

My mom opened a capitol one credit card in my name without telling me, spent the $400 and never paid it back. It's in collections now. If I dispute the debt is there a chance it could lead back to her and get her in legal trouble? She screwed me over I know, but I do not want her to get in trouble...

Can someone point me to an example or show me one of there own?

I should note the byte order on the c side is little endian and on the Java is big endian.

school assignment!

i have a java project i need to write that reads data in from a comma delimited text file and blahhhh

but for extra credit we can use a database instead of a text file

i dont want to pay for a host and all that

so is there a way to create a database that is in my java package so i can use sql?

im using netbeans

i need everything to be in my java package so when i turn it in to my teacher

he doesn't need to download extensions or whatever,...

thanks!!!

weird JTable behavior!

so when ever i want to change the column headers i use:

jTable.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setHeaderValue("new header string blahhh");

but when i run it, the header only changes to the new value when i mouse over the header...

i have NO mouse over events anywhere at all

any one know what's going on??

i dont know if it matters but i used the netbeans GUI editor to create it

thanks!

so say i have a string "mississippi"

and i have another string "ssissi"

how would you go about finding the starting and ending indices of ssissi in mississippi

as in, ssissi appears in mississippi at an index of 2 and ends at the index of 7

i need those two numbers!

ideas?

thanks!!!

this new doclint thing is horrible!!!!

i would like to turn it off

i read this

http://blog.joda.org/2014/02/turning-off-doclint-i...

but it makes no sense to me

can anyone explain it to me??

thanks!

here's my method:

private double calculateStandardDeviation(){

double mean = calculateMean();

double totalOfSquaredDifferences = 0;

for(Employee employee: employeeList){

totalOfSquaredDifferences += Math.pow(mean - (employee.getHoursWorked() * employee.getRate()), 2);

}

double variance = totalOfSquaredDifferences / employeeList.size();

return Math.sqrt(variance);

}

but im getting the wrong answer and can't spot a logic error

hep!

thanks!

for form validation

i need to only accept input that java can interpret as a float since im saving the input into a float variable

such as:

123

123.456

and not:

123.

.

abcd

!@#$%&

thanks!

I used an online regex generator to get /\\d*?\\.?\\d*/g

but its a generator for javascript

i need the equivalent for java

help!

thanks!

for java input validation

i need to only accept numbers and strictly one decimal point (dot).

if a decimal is entered, i only want to allow 2 decimal places following

any number of numbers before the decimal is fine

accepted:

123

123.45

.12

denied:

123.4

.123

123.

.

.1

thanks!

In 50 Billion years, the Earth Moon system will be tidally locked with an orbital period of t final = 47 days, compared to the orbital period today of t initial = 27 days. Given that the mass of the Earth is 80 times that of the moon, how far apart in terms of their current distance d initial =384,400km will the earth and moon be at that time? (Symbolic answers only, ie d final = f(d initial, t final, m earth, m moon)

i dont even know where to start

thanks!

A factory worker accidentally releases a crate of mass m that was being held at rest at the top of a ramp with length d which is inclined at angle θ to the horizontal. The coefficient of kinetic friction between the crate and the ramp, and between the crate and the horizontal factory floor, is μk. (use g where applicable). (Use any variable or symbol stated above along with the following as necessary: g for the acceleration of gravity.)

how i thought to get the answer:

total energy at the top of the ramp = U (potential energy) = mgh

and total energy at the bottom of the ramp =

K (kinetic energy) - work done by friction = 1/2 * m * v^2 - mu * m * g * d * cos(theta)

so conservation of energy says energy at the top must equal energy at the bottom thus:

mgh = 1/2 mv^2 - mu *mgdcos(theta)

solving for v i get:

sqrt(2*g*d*(sin(theta) + mu * cos(theta)))

by the way i subbed d*sin(theta) for h, as im not allowed to use h

where did i go wrong???

a kid slides down a 43 degree (from the horizontal) hill with an acceleration of .45 m/s^2 in the opposite direction of motion. what is the coefficient of kinetic friction?

i take it to mean that the frictional force is .45 so:

frictional force = mu * normal force

so mu = frictional force / normal force

and mu = .45 / mgcos(43 degrees)

i may have the normal force wrong im not sure, also mass was not given

help!

thanks!

what is velocity dot acceleration (dot product of the two vectors)

and what is radius cross acceleration (cross product of the two vectors)

i dont get it...

thanks!

supppose A is m by n matrix with the property that for all vector b in R^m (the mth dimension),

the equation Ax = b has at most one solution

use the definition of linear independence to explain why the columns of A must be linearly independent.

i dont even know where to begin

thanks!
