For a general overview just look at the API and have a go. Java (in my view) has a flat learning curve for simple stuff, and a steep one for the more complex areas. Just give it a go, get Eclipse for example and just start coding.

I'll be honest it isn't an easy area to begin with. Perhaps review that maths knowledge and then give it a go? If you do then even Wikipedia should give you enough to get started. I know that's not what you want to hear but encryption is not an area to "mess around with" if you haven't got a...

I actually googled for "stupid horns ruining world cup" and OCUK was the 15th or so result, thank the lord OCUK are feeling these stupid horns are ruining the world cup coverage too. I've tried muting + 5 live coverage, in fact I've tried everything I can think of. I'm so **** *** with it I want...

Well I think Dell, Lenovo, Sony etc would say the same. None of them provide a laptop to meet my aims. I did and more do love my Macbook, not because it has OSX but because it was good value and well built. Do Apple not offer that anymore?

But that doest ask the question about OSX. Is it worth £400? In the couple of years I have owned one, I cannot officially even download bootcamp now :eek: It seems like Mac owners, and mac lovers like myself are being shafted. I like the Sony but I'm willing to buy a Mac for a little extra. It...

Yet. When we first witnesses the signs of the "collapse" we thought it was impossible and yet here we are, how can American subprime mortgages affect us right?. The Greek situation will spread, and we're not far behind. If Spain gets hit, so will we, and if you think Cameron and Clegg will stop...

Like -Tauren- startx should launch into a windowed environment. I would say backtrack is for security pros only. It's not a user friendly distro guys. If you're not used to Linux look else where.

The problem is I don't use Windows, I use Linux. And for me I don't care if a new laptop has OSX or Windows 7 they're both pointless for me. I'm just looking for the best laptop. With that in mind, the Mac Pro's look very expensive, so I was lucking for a sensible explanation of the cost...

Could be mate, popped into "western" which like out local Apple shop, cheapest 15" was 1200 IIRC. With respect to smogsy. I've have a macbook mate, and I dont really care about the magsafe power adapter, IMO it's nice but no at all necessary, for me it's a £15 bonus. On the screen the Ssony...

Well as much as I see your point, I can't see that you're adding anything to saying the macbook pro is worth an extra £400+. You seem to be suggesting that there are no costs by Sony in R&D/materials, which is clearly balls. All I am looking for is a sound explanation and justification of the...

Lol we haven't given anyone the power to do anything, and that is the problem. When "new" Labour got to power, it was clear they where wanted. The truth is the public neither want the Conservative or Labour. We need to vote again, simples.

Thanks Andy, I'm just looking for a straight answer, if the truth is that the £528 price difference is down to OSX and battery life alone, if so then damn I think that's a raw deal. I can accept a 10% difference for aesthetics and OSX (like the early Intel macbooks) but the 40%+ premium for two...

I understand that, but is OSX worth £480? Come on what makes Windows (which is included with the Vaio) look cheaper than a ocuk ho:p

As tntcoder says, the default root password is toor, so use the username root and the password toor to login. It works fine here. When you login change the root password straight away!

Totally. 40 million on a new election is a drop in the ocean. Lets get the government in power with a majority now, we'll lose far more than £40 million if we've not got a decision by Monday I can tell you what now.

Personally I'd say it's easy. You can configure Eclipse (a popular Java IDE) to the point you can deploy an app to android phones in less than 30 mins. I had a "hello world" example in minutes after that, and a "real world" app done within a day. It's straight forward, easy and quick.

I think that another GE will happen, in fact I think it has too. The Torries can't seriously think that lib dems will vote with them, no matter what posh boy Clegg says. The Torries will have no chance of getting a decision on school lunches yet alone anything serious about the economy in such a...

I have a macbook (a second generation Intel based model) and when I bought that, it was actually decent value, within about £100-£150 of an equally speced machine from Dell etc.. But I have to say today I was a bit surprised about the difference between a 15" mac and the alternatives. As much as...

Absolutely, that's the only thing I can give Apple credit for, but for £500, is that worth the price?

The truth is no matter how much we discuss it, we're totally ****** now. If the Torries try to cut they'll get out voted, if Labour try to resist they'll get out voted. The truth is that no matter who gets into power now, they will have no real support and the country, and we'll spiral into...
