  • How do I find specific questions...?

    If I go to the "Programming and Design" section and search at the top of the screen for "Java", it gives me questions from sections other than Programming and Design.

    How do I search for specific things e.g "Java, C, Python, etc" from one section only?

  • Highway in space connected by large magnets?

    Say we line up a few asteroids, strap them with huge magnets, then slingshot a ship along them...turning the magnets on and off as needed to increase the speed of the ship at each stage. Is this even possible? Its just an idea I had the other day when I seen two magnets snapping together...I wondered what if we could turn one off and move it out of the way before the other one hit... feel free to shoot me down, its not my area of expertise.

    If this is possible, what speeds could be achieved if we built not a highway for floating things around our solar system but a runway half the length of the solar system...for interstellar launches, using our most powerful magnets....how many would we need; how far apart would they have to be...the ships speed would come into account here.

    Anyway thanks in advance

  • JAVA - Import windows taskbar/desktop icons into gui program?

    How can you include the windows taskbar and/or the desktop icons with full functionality into a program, like in a JFrame or...anything, I've searched online and I can't find anything to do with, only stuff to do with blinking the windows taskbar and including stuff in the system tray.

    Even some c/c++ stuff that could be jerry rigged through jni or something...

    Maybe I'm searching for the wrong thing, or I'm trying to do something fundamentally wrong etc lol, though this seems like a completely reasonable thing to do.

    ANY info you may have on this subject will be appreciated, thanks in advance.

  • Why no world map anymore on YouTube 'show video statistics'?

    There used to be a nice world map in this section where you could see what countries the views were coming from, now you can only see the top 3 countries. So what I want to know is:

    - Why did they remove it?

    - How can I get it back?

    - Is there a google product forum where they were talking about this? (I can't find it anywhere in Googles bubble, or duckduckgo... though they probably own that to.)

    The new view is HORRIBLE, nobody in their right mind could say it's better then the world map version...if anything I thought one day they would make the map a bit more detailed. Now I have absolutely no idea what videos are popular in certain parts of the world. :(

    Thanks in advance, I realise nobody may be able to answer all of them questions, I'll nominate a best answer as soon as I get a decent explanation.
