I have a motorcycle jack if that will work, I live near Sawmill, close to Dave.

Just plain suck at it.

Actually I'm fairly ok at going through and correcting code that I have a skeleton for. But to just write code from thin air, I'm screwed.

My main problem is I have no interest in it, so I have a hard time sitting down to learn it. I was finally starting to get it a bit at the end of the intro class, took a long break, and have been clueless 3 weeks in to this class.

I've been messing with the lab for the past few hours and some of the basics are coming back, and have it 38% complete, and could probably get about 70% on my own. I've got most of the objects constructed and tested, and I'm quitting for the night.

Basically this is the problem(this is just the written description, there are 6 classes of code and too much post here):

Purpose

To assess your ability to apply the knowledge and skills developed in Module 1 and Module 2. Emphasis will be placed on interfaces and polymorphism.

Introduction

You have been contracted by Acme Manufacturing to develop the first phase of an inventory management system. The system will keep track of inventory lots. There are two different types of lots. One type of lot is a group of parts received from a supplier. The second type of lot is a group of products that have been manufactured at the same time. Parts are used to make products. Products are sold to customers.

The system you are going to design and develop will help Acme Manufacturing keep track of the parts they have in their inventory. When parts are received from a supplier, a receiving clerk adds the parts to inventory in lots. Each lot has a lot number and contains only one type of part, but there may be multiple lots in inventory that contain the same type of part. When parts are used to manufacture products, a production clerk removes the parts from the lots. When all the parts have been used up, the empty lots are deleted from inventory.

When products are manufactured, a production clerk adds the lots of products to inventory. A shipping clerk removes products from inventory as the products are shipped from the factory. Like parts, each lot contains only one type of product, but there may be multiple lots in inventory that contain the same type of product. When all the products in a certain lot have been sold, the lot is deleted from inventory.

Production managers need to know what parts and products are in inventory before scheduling production. A production manager can display a lot or query the inventory status of a single part or product to see if more need to be ordered or manufactured.

Functional Requirements

Adding a Lot

A lot is assigned a number, starting with 1, when it is added to inventory. Lot numbers are not reused. A maximum of 250 lots can be stored in inventory. The method to add a lot must return a Boolean value of true if the lot was successfully added. Otherwise the method must return false.

Deleting a Lot

The method to delete a lot takes the lot number of the lot to be deleted as a parameter and returns a Boolean value of true if the lot was successfully deleted and false if it was not deleted.

Retrieving a Lot

Given a lot number, a specific lot will be returned. If the lot does not exit, the method to retrieve the lot should return null.

Querying the Inventory

Given a part or product id, the total quantity on-hand will be returned. Note that the total may include parts or products from more than one lot.

Removing Parts or Products

Removing a quantity of parts or products from inventory reduces the quantity on-hand in one or more lots. Parts or products are removed from inventory only if the entire quantity is available in inventory. If removing the items from inventory reduces the quantity on-hand to zero, the lot should be deleted from inventory. The method to remove items from inventory takes the part or product number and the quantity as parameters. The method should return a Boolean value of true if the parts or products were successfully removed and false if they were not removed.

Assignment

Your job is to implement the methods specified in the interfaces in concrete classes. You must document and test all classes you implement. A careful study of the functional requirements and documentation in the provided interface classes will direct your efforts. You also may want to examine the javadoc supplied in the folder Lab01Student\doc. You may ask the customer (your professor) for clarification on any of the methods that are imprecisely defined. Any method containing the comment // TODO: Your code here should be modified to perform the task documented in the associated interface. You are responsible for creating any needed instance fields. You also must add comments and update all javadoc to fully and accurately document your implementation. You can create additional methods, as needed, to implement your classes.

Note that some additional classes and interfaces are provided as part of the project. In particular, the Money interface and the concrete implementation Dollar are available for specifying the cost of an item. You can find the javadoc for these interfaces and classes in the folder Lab01Student\jardoc\doc.

I thought it would be smart idea to get a second degree in web development, but found out I suck, and I mean suck big balls at Java. I am a right brained artist, my brain just does not work this way.

I am taking a second level class right now, had a hard time getting motivated to even start the damn class, and now have a lab due tomorrow at midnight, and not sure how to go about completing it.

I have some of the basics done, but it's about a year since I took the intro class. Anyone have a few hours tomorrow afternoon to explain to me some of what I need to do to get this shit done?

Let me know if you think you can help out, We can go over details. Would like to get started no later than 2-3 pm, so I have time to get it done. If you're in C-bus and can meet with me, even better.

I will owe you big time. Thanks!

Art

Impressive? More like AMAZING! That is unreal how someone can do that shit and free hand at that! I could never understand how a really good artist's brain functions and does shit like that. CRAZY.

Years of brain rot from alcohol and drug abuse. Seriously though, most great artists are mentally ill. Whether it be depression, schizophrenia, Bipolar, etc. we have just learned to channel it into something creative rather than destructive. You will find that a high percentage of artists are left-handed and thinking with a different portion of the brain than 90% of the rest of the world.

Some really great artists suffer from Synesthesia.

That's kinda been my problem as an artist. I'm left-handed and fucked in the head, but not fucked enough to truly be great. Plus I'm lazy.

I may be interested in this. Post up the final plans when you decide.

Sharp looking bikes. Never ridden one, but Moose's bike is in the same family, he may be able to give you some input.

At that price range, you may want to look at the Triumph Thunderbird as well. I checked one one, pretty sweet, still on my short list for a new bike if I decide to get one.

I get tired. Friday night seems to be more for relaxing nowadays. I'm old.

I'm not even a sportbike guy and want one. purty.

Did the miles for you - I'm not ragging on you by any means, but the mileage versus the time you want to do it in is going to be damned near impossible. Bikes go faster, but you'll be stopping for fuel constantly unless you have a fuel cell on your bike.

And be super careful in Kansas. They have more cops per inch on I-70 than any state in the US - including Ohio.

Just be careful and take a little more time, then you'll arrive safely and have more fun.

Wow, I didn't even look at the miles, I would listen to Earache and really re-plan your trip. 800 miles a day would suck in car, let alone a bike.

I thought I could easily do 600 a day every day, but with fuel and rest stops, it's not that easy. Especially if you're not on a touring bike.

Think about how bad your ass hurts after a few hour ride, and then multiply it by 4, and that is how it feel everyday for a week, sometimes even when you are not riding. .....And I ride a cruiser with an extra padded seat.

I got laid off a month ago...

i have a years supply of PTO...it's called "unemployment compensation"

I figure this trip can be had in style for less than 2 grand...and I have 3 in savings... I just built a back rest/luggage rack for the bike, and I'm leaving on wednesday...

Wednesday I ride 13 hours, new lyme to springfield missouri,

Thursday I ride 12 hours springfield to albequerque

Friday I ride 11 hours albequerque to LA

Saturday I enjoy LA, including the beach, hollywood, and some night life (probably splurge on a good hotel in case I meet some ladies...)

Sunday I ride 4 hours to vegas

Monday I ride 11 hours to denver

Tuesday I ride 12 hours to St. Louie

Wednesday I ride 9 hours to New Lyme...

Awesome, good luck and have fun. After just doing this solo(and I'm sure Casper, Earache and Shitty will agree with me since they did it too recently), I'll tell you a few things I discovered, that I'm sure you know already.

1. That is a lot of riding in a short period. Not sure if you have ever done anything like this before.

You may want to throw in an extra day or two in case you get tired, hit bad weather( I hit a freakin' flood), mechanical issues, or you are just having fun and want to stay somewhere longer.

I had issues with my inner thigh going numb from riding so much, I think Casper had problems too.

400-700 miles a day is a long day. Stop and rest plenty. I averaged about 400 per day over 10 days and it kicked my ass. I did 600 two days, I don't know how people iron butt.

2. Riding at night out west sucks. Visibility is nil, animals everywhere, crazy cagers. Be careful, try to ride in the day as much as possible.

3. Dress warm, and pack winter and rain gear. Even before the sun goes down, the temperature drops big time around 6-7. You will get wet.

4. It is ridiculously windy. Doing 80 in 40 mph crosswinds beats the shit out you and wears you out fast.

Ride safe, and keep us updated on the trip.

I'll be there.

Yeah, the racial comments towards you were uncalled for. There may have been something else behind the anger and you may just have caught it. White males are about the only unprotected group at this time in our history, and it it socially acceptable to bash us(to a point) now.

Look at TV nowadays, any type of humor based on stupidity are either white males, and to a lesser degree, black males that have what would be considered white traits.

Who gives a fuck though, I guess the past 1000 years of thinking we were is over, anger over it is just wasted energy.

Racism is still a serious problem throughout the world, the US sees a lot of it because of we have such a varied culture. Go the south one day, the racial divide that is still there amazes me. Ignorant fucking hillbillies.

I don't care who you are, every single person is guilty of it at one time or another.

I don't even think it's racism per say, but more xenophobia, because we lash out at what we don't understand. It will never change until humans are all a light mocha, which may not be that far off.

I think the biggest thing that people need to do is try to give someone a chance before judging them. If someone is in your opinion an asshole, (which is more likely if they are of a different race or creed than you), fine, don't like them.

Let them prove they are dicks first, and just not assume it because of a skin color.

I grew up in small redneck town, but in a strangely diverse neighborhood. Ina town of 5000 people that was 90% white, I happened to have a few black and Asian kids in my neighborhood. I think when you are too young to see the differences opens up a person's mind and takes the strangeness of other cultures away when they become an adult. Maybe that's why I think the way I do.

Saying that, I think in this day and age more minorities are racist(at least in this part of the country) than Caucasians. I think this is because of economics and education more than anything, and it is unfortunate that some minorities fit into this scenario . Most white racists would be fit in here as well.

Maybe it is more of class thing than a race thing?

Damn, I'm getting preachy with my posts tonight. WTF? I got way off the actual topic of this thread.

Just give people the benefit of the doubt before judging is all I can say.

Welcome! Take everything in stride when this thread gets going.

Mid-Ohio Comic Con this Saturday & Sunday.

http://midohiocon.blogspot.com/

I've been going the past few years, it can be cool. Sometimes there are some really cool Star Wars costumes and other crap like that. I like to see the original art, being a designer and all.

Going Saturday if anyone is interested and wants to meet up. I go solo, no one I know is really into it.

Garage bar is cool. Be a nice place for a bike night if they had a parking lot.

Not an issue now, but maybe they could open their patio to bikes next year?

GARAGE BAR the GM said he would hook us up if we called it home... I still keep in touch with him and he always asks if we will ever try to plan something there.

Anyone seen this? Pretty sweet.

http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/photos/2010models/2010-Honda-VT750C2AShadowPhantom.htm

hmm. I like it too. Looks Euro.

Ohio Riders is pretty goddamn awesome. Great group of people, have not met anyone that is a complete asshole yet. I've also noticed the more you put into and the more you attend events, the more you'll get out of it.

I might get banned when I buy a Harley, but the haters can go to hell.

Just kidding, but I really am thinking of getting a Dyna.

I just did this a couple days ahead of Earache and Casper. It is not real easy to do, most of it doesn't exist anymore. In my opinion the best thing to do is take interstate, 40 runs along most of it. That way you can get off where it has been kept up. I could see it in places from the interstate, lots of broken up gravel. I got off and road it a few times though. Most of the historical places are only in the cities anymore, no reason(besides being impossible) to actually take the whole route. Here are a few.

I started in St Louis, which has a few sections that are marked. Didn't see a whole lot of it marked in the rest of MO, except near Joplin I think.

I don't think OK has done anything with it, could be wrong.

Texas has quite a bit, Shamrock, Amarillo and others use it for tourists.

NM has tons, Central Ave through Albuquerque is probably the largest intact part in the whole country. Was sweet, almost like being in a time machine.

Don't know about the rest of the western portion, went south from Albuquerque.

If 5 bucks covers food, that's good. More may be okay if needed, but 5 bucks isn't bad and I don't see anyone complaining about it.

Maybe for a fundraiser, do a best costume, $5 entry, do 60/40, 60% for top 3 costumes, 40 for OR or KofC charities.

just like the christmas party, drinks can be purchased at the bar, the only beverages that can be brought are soda, milk, juice, or water.... I will provide hot dogs n hamburgers like at the spring cook out.... a small donation would be appreciated, I'm thinking 5 bucks per person and split it between the KofC and O.R. Or if people want we can do more....the money will go to good causes either way...

you all are a bunch of wussed out candy asses..... me n vrod dave rode when it was the middle of freaking january and it didn't top 23 all freaking day!!! just layer up and you'll be fine.... SHEESH!!!

you're damn right. I hate cold. I'm tempted to go ahead and winterize the bike now. I probably will late October.

looks like the majority is liking the 24th..... shall I continue to plan? Or is someone else gonna plan something? I.E. I NEED INPUT PEOPLE!!!

Go for it. If you plan it, they will come.

i heard that a few universal monster movie remakes are in the making as well. if they try to remake creature from the black lagoon, i will go to hollywood and do everything in my power to stop it!

I don't know, if the Universals are done correctly they could be awesome. Dracula 2000 pops in my head though and makes me think that they would be crap, so probably better left alone.

http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/09/rorschach_had_a_nightmare_on_elm_street.php

New Nightmare on Elm Street. Rorschach is Freddy. Good casting.

Hope it's not like the remakes they have been pumping out lately. I'm all for a good update, but does anyone have an original horror movie idea anymore?

Michael Bay's name on anything scares me. While not directing, I'm sure he'll have to have an exploding helicopter in there somehow.

I was 7 when the original came out in 84. Horror movies rocked then, lots of blood,dismemberment, flashes of T&A, perfect for a young boy.

I remember cowering behind my dad while we watched it. It started my love affair with horror and gloom.

Where you guys plan on holding has more bearing in my world than date. I'm not riding to Columbus again, It's just way to boring of a ride imo. If I'm riding somewhere it has to be fun or it's not worth it.

Halloween probably isn't a night anyone wants to drive far. It should be about booze, fun, and chicks that dress naughty because it's the one night they can get away with it with no social repercussions.

Perhaps there should be more than one party, maybe Cbus and Cleveland? Does southwest Ohio have enough members to organize something? Better chance of pleasing more people with a couple of parties in this case, maybe even on different weekends so people could go to both if they wanted.

There are a couple reasons that it seems like OR sponsored events take place in Columbus, at least from what I've seen over the past 6 months or so I've been a member.

1. It really is easier to go to for a statewide event. 2-2½ hours for some seems more fair than 5 hours for a small few.

2. Probably the biggest reason. From what I've seen the people that take the initiative to organize something happen to live here. I'm all for state-wide events. If I would see a thread about a meet & greet in Cleveland, I'll be there for sure. I know a bunch of other Columbus folks would be in front of me( I don't lead, my bike is slow).

Moose seems like he already started organizing something in Columbus. Does anyone up north have the resources to do so? If so step up and make it happen so you NEO guys and girls(or elsewhere) get some OR love too.
