Need answers!

I was paging through this book I have of Spanish vocab, and I found something I need to ask about. Let's say I have, for example, the words for bean sprouts. (I just randomly picked this one, there are many other examples.) The words for it are "los brotes de soja." But shouldn't it be "los brotes de sojas" with an "s" on "soja?" I thought everything has to agree in number and gender, but this happens numerous times elsewhere in the book, such as in "las semillas de girasol," sunflower seeds. Do both words have to agree or do they not because of the use of "de?" Thanks.

I have a book that says it's "el pijamas" but shouldn't it be "los pijamas?" Or is it just one of those acceptions to the rules? Thanks.

I really need some help with getting the OCR software to work. I've tried doing it as a searchable .pdf file, but it just puts the picture in the file without converting it to text. A notice comes up telling me my Adobe software is old, if that helps. But I don't want it as a .pdf file, I want it as a Microsoft Word file so I can edit it. (I'm using Office 2007.) Can anyone help? Thanks.

I have an older USB cable, I believe from version 1.1, but I'm not sure. Is there any difference between a cable from version 1.1 and one from version 2.0? Is there any difference between cables? Thanks.

depending on where it hit, what would happen to our vast stores of information? I mean, depending on what got burnt up and who got killed, we might lose some of the most valuable pieces of information in the world. If the comet hit the US, we'd lose the Declaration of Independence. If it hit Egypt, say "bye bye" to the pyramids. If it hit Japan, sayonara Microsoft. (Well, Microsoft Japan. Although the Microsoft in America would probably be wiped out by the tsunami from Japan.) We might also lose valuable information about science and technology. That's a scary thought! Is there nothing we can do? I thought so at first. But then I got to thinking, "What if we stored vast amounts of extremely important information on 500 gigabyte hard drives?" I know about the EMP blast from the comet, so of course they would all be surrounded by Faraday cages, and buried underground so they wouldn't be torched by the heat. So what do you think? Should we start collecting information? Thanks.

This may sound really dumb, but I need to know. I'm developing a game using Java 3D, and I'm wondering if I need to write a game engine. If so, could someone please tell me what I need to put in it? I don't think I have to (write one), but I'm not sure. Isn't part of an engine graphics and such? Doesn't Java 3D take care of graphics? Thanks.

How come when I run my program for Java 3D with DirectX, my mouse doesn't disappear when I move my mouse over the program? But my mouse pointer DOES disappear when I use OpenGL. Why does this happen? Thanks.

I just found a good tutorial on the internet about Java 3D, and it works and all, it's just that whenever I animate something, it's a little slow (my computer's not that old at all and runs fine) and my mouse disappears if I leave it still while the program is running. Well, it only disappears if I move it over the program. The person said they used a timer to animate the ball in the program, and then they said you could animate by using the behavior classes of Java 3D. Will this prevent the disappearing mouse pointer problem? Thanks.

Okay, what happens if I create an object within a class, and when I make an instance of that class, I can only reference the object through the other object? Here's an example.

class SomeObject {

int value = 99;

}

class Test {

SomeObject newObject = new SomeObject();

}

class game {

public static void main(String[] arguments) {

Test test1 = new Test();

System.out.println(test1.newObject.value);

}

}

Notice the "System.out.println" statement. I have to reference the "value" integer through "newObject," or else it doesn't work. If I just try to do newObject.value, it gives me an error. Why do I have to reference through that object and what did I just program here? Is there some kind of technique I just used that I unwillingly stumbles upon and is it an okay practice to initiate objects within classes? Thanks.

Every website says that a double can store values up to "±439E-324 to

±1.7976931348623157E+308"

Does that mean that they can store up to 1.7976931348623157 with the decimal point moving to the right 308 places? If so that must be a big number. Does that mean a double is bigger than a long? Thanks.

I have a question about primitive variable types. How come whenever I declare a long variable, I have to put an "l" at the end of the value or else I get a compiler error saying "integer number too large."? It also happens with doubles, too.

And I have another question about "double" variable types. How come the Java documentation thing lists them as being able to hold values from "8 bytes IEEE 754. Covers a range from 4.94065645841246544e-324d to 1.79769313486231570e+308d (positive or negative)." But when I put in a higher value, even something (relatively) small like two billion won't fit unless I put a "d" at the end of the value. Why is this? And what does the "-324d" and "+308d" thing mean? Is this scientific notation or is that the decimal precision of the "double" variable type? Thanks.

Help? Thanks.

Like, don't they manage the computer systems of businesses to make sure they're running well and stuff? For people who do that, is it a fun job? I want to become a programmer but I would like to know what it's like managing computer systems. Thanks.

If someone called a friend of mine pretending to be me, could I take them to court? And how would I do that? (I can't afford a lawyer, either. Go figure.) Thanks.

I kind of know what it is, but how does it relate to AdSense? Does it pay when the ad is viewed one thousand times or something? Thanks.

I'm just about finished with a bottle of liquid antibiotics and it expires today. I have about 3 or so doses left. Will the medication still work if I take it after? (I missed a few doses, so I'm a little late) but it's not like it'll just stop working, it'll just start to lose potency, right?

I was wondering if when I enter the URL of my site into Analytics if I need to include the "www" part. My website is a free blog at a blogspot site, and it doesn't need the "www," even when you type it into the browser and go there it doesn't change the URL. I check Analytics daily and I'm getting data, but should I have added the "www" just to be sure?

And how do I tell it to ignore my own visits to the site because I have a dynamic IP address? Thanks.
