Pain in knee after cycling crash?
I had a bike (cycling) crash roughly 4 weeks ago and the first part of my body to hit the asphalt was my left knee. I was going at about 25 mph and the abrasion there deep enough for me to need stitches. It's pretty much healed up now though, but when I try to bend my knee and put pressure on it (like when walking up stairs) there's some pain in my left knee (like internal pain). It doesn't happen when running or walking though. Is this something I should get checked out?
4 AnswersCycling7 years agoUnzipping a tar.gz, tar.xz, and a tar.bz 2 files in java?
i need a few methods that unzip the following to just a .tar (i already have a working .tar unzipper thats not the problem)
I got a few methods in from this website
http://commons.apache.org/proper/commons-compress/...
that are supposed to unzip these files.
i got the three (tar.gz, tar.bz2, and tar.xz) unzippers and had to make some tweaks to the methods.
the only one that works is the tar.bz2 (which works perfectly)
and I was wondering what was wrong with the code for the other two methods as they create small, corrupted .tar files
//tarbz2:(working)
public static File TARBZ2ToTAR(File BZ2ToExtract, File locToExtract, List<String> fileLog) throws IOException, ArchiveException{
File targetTAR = new File(locToExtract, BZ2ToExtract.getName().substring(0, BZ2ToExtract.getName().toLowerCase().indexOf(".bz2")));
targetTAR.createNewFile();
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(BZ2ToExtract);
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(fin);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(targetTAR);
BZip2CompressorInputStream bzIn = new BZip2CompressorInputStream(in);
final byte[] buffer = new byte[65536];
int n = 0;
while ((n = bzIn.read(buffer)) >= 0) {
out.write(buffer, 0, n);
}
out.close();
bzIn.close();
return targetTAR;
}
public static File TARGZToTAR(File GZToExtract, File locToExtract, List<String> fileLog) throws IOException{
File targetTAR = new File(locToExtract, GZToExtract.getName().substring(0, GZToExtract.getName().toLowerCase().indexOf(".gz")));
targetTAR.createNewFile();
FileInputStream fin = new FileInputStream(GZToExtract);
BufferedInputStream in = new BufferedInputStream(fin);
FileOutputStream out = new FileOutputStream(targetTAR);
GzipCompressorInputStream gzIn = new GzipCompressorInputStream(in);
final byte[] buffer = new byte[65536];
int n = 0;
while ((n = gzIn.read()) > 0) {
out.write(buffer, 0, n);
}
out.close();
gzIn.close();
return targetTAR;
}
public static File TARXZToTAR(File XZToExtract, File locToExtract, List<String> fileLog) throws IOException{
File targetTAR = new File(locToExtract, XZToExtract.getName().substring(0, XZToExtract.getName().toLowerCase().indexOf(".xz")));
targetTAR.createNewFile();

Cell Phones & Plans8 years agoHow to downgrade windows 7 Professional to Windows 7 Home Premium?
I upgraded my laptop that originally came with Windows 7 Home Premium to an illegitimate version of Windows 7 Professional. Because of this, there is now a message on the bottom right-hand corner of my desktop. It states:
Windows 7
Build 7600
This copy of Windows is not genuine
Also, I cannot have a wallpaper anymore.
I was wondering if there was a way to downgrade from this version of Windows 7 Professional back to Windows 7 Home Premium using the product key that my computer came with.

3 AnswersMitsubishi9 years agoIf my Video has Copyrighted content, Can I still Partner with YouTube?
Hey all, I have a YouTube account and I just started posting videos.
I take popular songs (by Drake, Lil Wayne, etc.) and I post videos of the song with lyrics on screen
eg:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zE84jB6_HH4&feature...
Anyways, I want to partner with YouTube to get money off of my videos and I was wondering if this was the same as monetization. It says that if I want to monetize my videos, then the videos I'm uploading right now can't be monetized off of because it's copyrighted content.
But what if I partner with YouTube and upload videos every week? Is this the same as monetizing? Will I still be eligible to make my videos available for monetization?

Thanks in advance!
1. Explain why Lennie gets angry at his dead puppy.
2. Why does Curley's wife say she wants to talk to Lennie?
3. What does Curley's wife give Lennie as the reason for her having married Curley?
4. Explain why Lennie becomes angry with Curley's wife. What is the result of his anger?

7. What does Slim tell George might happen to Lennie if they bring him in?
8. What does George suggest about Carlson's gun?
9. What does Curley say he's going to do to Lennie?
10. Curley's wife tells Lennie she could have been in the movies, could have made something of herself, had it not been for her mother's interference. Consider Steinbeck's description of her after Lennie has left the barn. Do you think she was deluding herself or not? Explain.
11. Candy knows that he and George won't get the place together. Why do you think George is unwilling to go in with Candy?
12. Slim tells George it wouldn't be good for Lennie to be locked up, strapped down, and put in a cage. What do you think he is suggesting to George? Do you agree or not? Explain your reasons.
13. Carlson states that Lennie stole his pistol, that it wasn't lost. Is there another possible explanation for the missing gun?
Homework Help1 decade agoLinux Ubuntu not supporting Wi-Fi?
I have a Sony Vaio PC running Windows 7.
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Sony+-+VAIO+Laptop+/+I...
I recently installed Linux Ubuntu (a), but I have a problem. When running Windows 7 is, there is no problem with Wi-Fi or anything at all. But, when I run in Linux Ubuntu, W-Fi does not work. I am guessing that I don't have the correct driver for my wireless card (Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6200). I went and downloaded the correct driver for Linux (while running Windows), but I don't know how to use the driver with Linux. Is there any other place where I can get a driver that works? Or, is there a way to get the driver from Windows 7 to Linux?
(a) - Where I downloaded Linux Ubuntu from:

(b) - Where I downloaded the wireless driver from:

2 AnswersBooks & Authors1 decade agoWhich MacBook should I get?
I'm more of a Windows person, and I want to get a new MacBook. I've seen the new MacBook Air and I like it. But, the processor speed is only 1.3GHz. Is this slow for a Mac? My friend told me that MacBooks need less RAM and processor speed than Windows PCs because of the way it works. The MacBook Pro is my favorite, but it is too expensive. The regular MacBook doesn't look very good because it is white all around. But, then again, it is pretty cheap. The price is the same as the MacBook Air, but the processor speed and RAM on the MacBook is more than on the MacBook Air. Do I need this extra processor speed and RAM? Is my friend right? Which MacBook should I get?
