  • Java cannot find class?

    I have a Windows 7 system that is less than a year old. I also have the latest Java (6.31). When I try to do assignments that require Java, I get this exception.

    load: class chemaxon/marvin/applet/JMSketchLaunch not found.

    java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: chemaxon.marvin.applet.JMSketchLaunch

    The applet works on older computer with older OS's.

    Other programs that require Java seem to work fine.

  • Bought a used Pokemon Pearl?

    I just got a used Pokemon Pearl. The last owner of the game had a bunch of the legendary Pokemon. They had Lugia, Ho-oh, all the birds, all the dogs, Lucario, Dialga, Shaymin, Mew, Mewtwo, etc.

    Some were at lvl 100.

    Since I want to start my own game but I really don't want to lose those Pokemon, are they safe to transfer to a friend's Pearl? I have heard that there are cheats out there that will get you those Pokemon, but those cheats can also ruin the game. I want those, but I don't want to ruin my game or my friends.

    Are they safe to transfer?

  • Where should the retired Space Shuttles have gone?

    After NASA finishes the shuttle program, they have designated these places as the final resting place of the shuttles. Do you agree or disagree with NASA's choices for where the shuttles should go.

    Discovery is going to the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum's Udvar-Hazy Center in northern Virginia.

    Atlantis will be staying at Kennedy Space Center in Cape Canaveral Florida.

    Endeavour will head to the California Science Center in Los Angeles.

    NASA will also send the prototype, Enterprise, to the Intrepid Sea, Air and Space Museum in New York City.

    Personally, I think that Florida is an obvious choice. That is where the shuttles take off from. The Smithsonian is also an obvious choice as it is the Nation's Museum.

    I don't agree with New York and LA.

    I would put Endeavour in Houston. That is where mission control is. "Houston, we have a problem."

    As far as the Enterprise goes, I say that should go to Huntsville, Alabama. It is home to NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center. Sure, it's got a Space Flight Simulator, but I think they should get one of the "real" shuttles.

    That's just my thoughts.

    Where would you put the shuttles? Why?

  • Would you pay higher taxes for a better education for your kids?

    This is for all the parents out there with school age kids or kids that are about to go to school.

    Would you pay higher taxes knowing that your kid(s) will have enough teachers and classes? People don't want to pay taxes but they are not realizing that schools get paid by tax money. With all these tax cuts, schools are forced to drop teachers, classes, programs, etc. Kids don't participate in gym, music, or art anymore.

    I would pay higher taxes if I knew that the schools were getting my money. I want my kid to learn all the things I did. I want my kid to know about art and music and learn the different types of sports. Add to the fact that without all these "extracurricular" activities, we could miss out on the next Mozart or Picasso or <insert favorite sports person>. Some kids don't get the exposure to these areas outside of school.

    Do people realize that without schools, kids are learning in crowded classrooms? There isn't a high level of one on one learning. They are missing out on things that we had.

    And for the people who don't have kids or want kids saying that this doesn't affect them. I would like to point out that some day, these kids are going to be the leaders of the world. Do we really want our 57th President to have what equates to a 2nd grade education? Or is it going to be that kids in public schools will never have the chance to make a difference when compared to other people's kids who pay thousands of dollars a year for their education?

    I know that I could always do Home Schooling, but I don't know if I have the proper training to teach my child everything she should know. I know that it is up to me, as a parent, to make sure she is learning things that I believe are lacking in the school. But, I hate to admit and I'm sure other people feel this way too, I don't have time to fully give to my child's home school. We are a working family, trying to make ends meet, so we have to trust in the public school system. We do go to museums and the library for things that we feel she is lacking, but unfortunately, I don't know if it's enough times to fulfill her knowledge needs. We do what we can, when we can.

    Thank you for listening to me rant. I will get off my soapbox now.

  • Can NFL Draft day trades occur without a CBA?

    I know that trades, FA, and stuff can't happen until a new CBA occurs, but I've read about this team could trade up or that team could trade down. Will teams be allowed to trade on draft day without a CBA? If they can, can they trade players that day or only picks?

  • A new name for the Pro Bowl?

    The Pro Bowl was played after the Super Bowl for so many years, with little fan fare. To try and make the Pro Bowl relevent, the NFL decided to move it to the week prior to the Super Bowl last season. With the Pro Bowl now being played before the Super Bowl, the players that were selected are now out of the all-star game because of a "higher calling".

    With this knowledge in mind, I suggest that we, the fans, change the name of the Pro Bowl.

    I suggest:

    Compensation Bowl or Loser's Bowl.

    What do you think? Do you have a different name for it?

  • Anyone know the Lady Gaga mix at HHNXX?

    In the Bill and Ted show at Halloween Horror Nights, what is Lady Gaga's song that is a mashup at the end of the show? And what is the name and artist of the other song? I just thought it was a pretty cool mix. I know it was just basically playing both songs together at the same time and not really mashing up, but it was still cool.

  • Is there Communion Etiquette?

    I guess you would call me a lost sheep. I use to be a member of a church but that was about 10 years ago. I am going through some belief issues right now. But I'm still a good person and help people when I can. Anyways, my wife recently lost her grandmother. The memorial was held at the church. It was a different denomination than what I am, but that's besides the point. During the memorial, they had communion. Being that I was baptized, I partook in the communion.

    Was it wrong for me to take communion?

  • What is the best book to use when studying for Security+?

    I am studying up for the Security+ exam. Right now, I have a book on loan from my company that is a study guide for the exam. I have heard from others that the book I am using sucks. What book should I get that will give me the best chance at passing? I am not looking for memorization sites or programs. I actually want to learn the material and not just the test. I know that there probably isn't one book that will cover everything the test covers but I'm looking for the closest.

    The book I'm currently using is CompTIA Security+ Study Guide Fourth Edition by Emmett Dulaney.

    Thanks in advance.

  • Magic Vs. YGO on Yahoo Answers?

    I understand that you are passionate about the games that you play. And I understand that you think your game is much better than everyone elses. But what gets me is when someone asks a question about a certain game, people chime in saying that that game sucks and you should play this game.

    Are people really that insensitive? Can they just not leave well enough alone?

    I know very little about YGO. My only experience with it is through the GBA World Destruction game. You don't see me running around at all YGO questions saying that YGO sucks. I just don't look at them. But I guess people are desperate for those 2 points that they have to answer with something.

    This really isn't a question, it's more of a comment. Best comment gets the points, because to some, the points are the only thing that matter.

    And I know that only a few people do it, but it's the few that gives the rest a bad name.

  • Flashing BIOS?

    I am working on a computer that is being upgraded. It went from a Windows 2000 to XP. I need to do a BIOS flash. The problem is, I don't know how to do one. I have read some stuff on it but still am a little cautious. The main problem is that the latest update to the BIOS was released in 2004. The system that I am working on has a TYAN motherboard but the BIOS itself is Phoenix. On the TYAN website, I downloaded the BIOS update but they only had TYAN Trinity BIOS updates. Also, the instructions say that "You must use a WIN95 or WIN98 boot disk." Of course, I don't have those. Anyhelp would be greatly appreciated.
