I had a mental image of that, it made me chuckle

I add Dan to the list

[quote name=JoannaDark I also like the IT crowd. [/quote] I could forgive any fault other than that. I had to do a web search on galaxy, to see what epic gaming event I was missing, then I realised u meant Mario galaxy. I'm afraid 3-D Mario gets from me.

That was a joke. The real motivation for the thread were; People that have queued for a 30 seconds to get on a rush hour bus, ask the driver how much a ticket is (all fares are one price and clearly printed adjacent to the bus' entrance) and seem to think that if they don't have their wallet/purse out when they ask the answer is somehow going to be "it's free", they then stand digging through their bag for a minute trying to find their wallet, then rather than handing over the pound they have they spend a further 30 seconds piecing together a mass of change so they can unburden themselves of the tiresome weight (at the expense of everyones' time) then hand it over to the driver, who can count and informs them it is not enough. So they just hand over the pound they initially retrieved, then spend a further 20 seconds standing, in an area that prevents the driver from driving, placing their wallet back into the cavern of their bag from which it was so difficult to locate and retrieve at the start of the process. What makes it worse is that there is one of these pitiful excuses of humanity at every stop.

In Java I have an ArrayList of objects, each object consists of two Strings and an integer, I want to create an arrayList of the first String from each object, but not sure how to index an object withinin an array with java. Can anyone help me plx

ah I had to write an accessor method for the wordDistance class, and hopefully I will now be done.

Ahh I forget that there was a class of WordDistance I should be able to find what to call the the String I want from there.

Again cheers for the help, the poor choice in variable name is the fault of my lecturer. The reason for the discrepancy between what I return and stated in the signature of the statement is that originally constructed it to return a WordDistance, then changed it and forgot to change alter the signature So the "suggestedWords" Array has objects "WordDistance" and at some point (either now or in the method in another class that calls this method) I want to extract one of the Strings from each of the "WordDistnce" objects in "suggestedWords." But I don't know how to select that String, I tired Eljay's technique of String=suggestedWords.String2, but the problem I think I'm having is not knowing how to refer to the String2. I tried "to" and "compareWord" both terms that are used to refer to what I want in local variables but that didn’t seem to work. Sorry if I'm asking my questions poorly I'm a complete newb at programming and Java.

I'm having some probably implementing your methods , it could because the name of the string isn't well defined here is most of the code from the class I need this to happen in, In hte mathematical programs I've used in the past I would ahve used something like array[,2] to get the 2nd coloumn of a matrix, is there anyway like /** * This method computes the Levenshtein distance * @param from first of the two strings to be compared * @param to second string to be compared */ private WordDistance getEditDistance (String from, String to) { int distance; WordDistance wordDistance; distance = editDistance(from,to); wordDistance = new WordDistance(from, to, distance); return wordDistance; } /** * This method returns an ArrayList of WordDistance objects, one for * each of the words in the WordsList field of the Lexicon class * @param word word to be compared to the lexicon items */ private ArrayList<WordDistance> getEditDistances (String word) { ArrayList<WordDistance> wordDistances = new ArrayList<WordDistance>(); for (String compareWord : wordList) wordDistances.add(getEditDistance(word, compareWord)); return wordDistances; } /** * This method removes an entry from an array list and returns the modified * array list * @param word signifies the word of the entry to be removed * @param arrayList the array List from which the 1st entry containing word * will be removed */ private ArrayList<WordDistance> removeEntry(int indexNumber, ArrayList<WordDistance> arrayList) { arrayList.remove(indexNumber); return arrayList; } /** * This method will return an array List of Word Distances with size the number of alternative * words (determined by a parameter) that are most similar to the word entered as a parameter. * The most similar will be near the top * @param numberOfSugests the number of alternative words to be delievered * @param word the word that will be comapared to the others. */ public ArrayList<WordDistance> compileListOfSuggestions(int numberOfSugests, String word) { int noOfSugests = numberOfSugests; ArrayList<WordDistance> arrayList= getEditDistances (word); ArrayList<String> suggestedWords = new ArrayList<String>(); int i=0; while(i<noOfSugests) { int indexNumber= arrayList.indexOf(getMinDistance(arrayList)); \* this where I'm trying to add this *\ suggestedWords.add(arrayList[indexNumber].compareWord); removeEntry(indexNumber, arrayList); i++; } return suggestedWords; } /** * This method receives an ArrayList of WordDistance objects as * parameter and returns the WordDistance object with the minimum * edit distance. If there are several matches, it returns the one * with the lowest index * @param wordDistances ArrayList of WordDistance to be inspected */ private WordDistance getMinDistance (ArrayList<WordDistance> wordDistances) { WordDistance wordDistance = wordDistances.iterator().next(); WordDistance minWordDistance = wordDistance; for (Iterator<WordDistance> i = wordDistances.iterator();i.hasNext() { wordDistance = i.next(); if (minWordDistance.getDistance() > wordDistance.getDistance()) minWordDistance = wordDistance; } return minWordDistance; }

Cheers all three look as tho they would work, I'll have to slip them in and have a play, and hopefully learn. Cheers to you all once again

Maybe the clever computer thinking thingy knows something that you and Dan haven't figured out yet. Plus if u use facebook you are automatically gay.

I would take Thrik's advice and not try to sell it to people until u actually have something to sell. I have to say I’m not a great fan of Schafer's humour, a lot of the time I don't like the tone nor the method of delivery, sometimes it tickles me into loling. With Psychonauts I heard a barrage of spiel about what an amazing game it was and how it was one of the best for ages and everyone needed to buy it (without many reason as to why,[i think because those who love it can’t see why others may not]) , I played it: couldn't stand the game play and really didn't like the tied old characters and stopped playing it very quickly. If it had been sold to me with fewer superlatives and more reason as to why I would like it, beyond it being a Schafer game (To be fair to Spaff he did a good job of this when persuading me to give it a go, but much damage had already been done). I probably would have given it more of a chance and probably would have liked it, but my expectations were raised and I looked at it with an overly critical eye. Giving them a copy of Psychonauts and the pick of destiny (again thought it was quite funny but not my fav style of humour) is probably the best thing to do, if they get excited by the possible permutations, cool, u've sold it, if not u'll it will probably be counter productive if u push the concept too hard without a foundation. When it is closer to release and u know more about what u are hyping, u can tell them why they'll like it, but until them I sure they can go on without hearing why brutal legends is going to be awesome ( I wish I could) This is the perspective of someone who is not that excited about it (will give it a play if the gameplay appeals) but has people enthusing it to him all the time. STOP IT!!!!

This firstly happened with my Google chat client and ahs just happened with MSN messenger as well, I think it probably caused by steam/TF2 as that is the only new thing I've been doing with my PC recently. I can't see the windows for MSN messenger or g-chat, they both have responsive tiles in the start bar and when I minimize/restore them I see the title bar of the window shoot off the right hand side of the desktop, I've tried restarting the programs and my PC, altering the size of my desktop (both up and down), and maximising the MSN window (g-chat does not have a maximise option), none of these did anything. One solution would be to reinstall the programs but if this happens again that could quickly become a nause. Anyone got any helpful suggestions?

Seems to pretty much be sorted now. Thanks for the help everyone

Sounds like someone had some MDMA

Thx for the suggestions, CCleaner sounded like it would do the trick sadly it didn't, I’m doing a full virus/malware scan, but I'm pretty up to date with such gubbins. I still think it is some bug to do with TF2 and my graphics card, as I had acrobat and mozilla windows open while playing it last night, and when I stopped playing and quit TF2 the windows of those programs were much larger than the desktop (ie the bottom and far left parts of them were off screen; scroll bars, close minimise options ect…) without thinking I choose to minimise them from the start bar and now they have the same problem. I'm going to try reinstalling my graphic card drivers and if that doesn't work I may reinstall windows, I need to do that anyway, but really can't be arsed Cheers guys

They are not being blocked, and the move option is not selectable

HEEEEEEELLLLLLLLPPPPPPPP if u help me I promise to put u on my "I will never rape list"

What would a SPS(second person shooter) be? Seeing things through the 1st person but not having any direct control, i.e. spectator modes. Or maybe seeing the character that you control through the eyes of one of his companions, the SPS is a sadly neglected genre of gaming (IMO)

For Fucks sake I go away for a few weeks and all turn into a bunch of gay hippies. Sort it out you cunts; I love the bitching. Toblix next time u play a shit game feel the anger and hate boil up in u and flow to your fingers and then release it through your typing. I just played HL:2 ep 1 which I got in the Orange box bundle, thank fuck I didn't pay money for that, it had a few alright set pieces, none of which ever felt as good as the best within HL2 and it was short as fuck and had no story, no where near as good as the HL1 expansions. On the other hand TF2 is fucking awesome, really good fun although my FPS skillz are non existent after 2 years of wowage.

Oi short hair avec le goatee is my motif, get your own style, only one hair/facial style per thumber please.

babillion is the shortest recorded time it takes to rape a million babies, I'm currently on a mission to reduce this time to 12.5 years (from 23.7 years) this requires me to rape over 200 babies a day.

If they ever do release a 2 tier internet I'm sure it'll be cracked, hacked and raped to shit before it is more than a few days old.

Grim Fandango is a great name for a game but has little on "Black College Football: The Xperience".
