    I just learnt that they have changed the name of Opel Fruits! And also that Kit Kat Senses taste exactly the same as Kinder Bueno.

    When you haven't taken a dump in three days, the farts smell horrendous, I expect a triple flusher any time soon.

    That happened, like, eleven years ago. How out of touch are you? :cool:

    You can make an executable .jar file simply by archiving a java class with standard archiving software, then renaming the extension to jar.

    Best of luck using that piece of 'wisdom'.

    (It's probably wrong too :P)
    I think it's right but you may need to add in a txt file or something listing the classes.

    I know you can definitely just rename a .jar file to a .zip file and open it that way. Then you can open the .class files up in a text editor or do a strings search to find the names and types of variables and methods.
    Learned that when doing a competition of our class a few weeks ago and wanted to extend a class we were given, then the lecturer put the source for those classes up and I did it a less hacky way :P.
    But hey it was a great learning experience.

    As for what i learned today, I learned a small bit about data transfer over USB and Wifi, and I also learned that i need to pay more attention in Hardware class since I probably should have learned a lot more.

    As my lady-friend eagerly mentions nearly every time we meet - "Birds don't have penises!". I have yet to verify this.

    You know who you are!
