I have a geolocation pair latitude/longitude, is there any way/tool to get the corresponding time zone? A website called EarthTools has a web service for that. http://www.earthtools.org/webservices.htm#timezone You can pass in latitude and longitude like so: h ttp://www.earthtools.org/timezone/40.71417/-74.00639 And it spits out the time zone and a bunch of other info: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> <timezone xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="http://www.earthtools.org/timezone.xsd"> <version>1.1</version> <location> <latitude>40

Does a framework allow you to abstract generic code - but not in a complete way (Ex: Abstract a network connection - but not what you actually do with the data), and does not solve any particular common requirement whereas a toolkit has solutions to generic problems(Ex: Dialog box widget)? Real world Example: Prototype is a "framework", but Dojo is a "toolkit". So my question is, what is the criteria to call something a framework vs calling it a toolkit? Framework enforces some design pattern on the developer and give some tools for code generation. This sits well with my first sentence, as it

I'm currently turning an array of pixel values (originally created with a java.awt.image.PixelGrabber object) into an Image object using the following code: public Image getImageFromArray(int[] pixels, int width, int height) { MemoryImageSource mis = new MemoryImageSource(width, height, pixels, 0, width); Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); return tk.createImage(mis); } Is it possible to achieve the same result using classes from the ImageIO package(s) so I don't have to use the AWT Toolkit? Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit() does not seem to be 100% reliable and will sometimes throw an

How do professional web designers create cross-browser CSS? Is it generally done by hand, or are there toolkits that can streamline the process, like YUI does for JavaScript? I'd prefer to stay away from WYSIWYG editors like DreamWeaver. Thanks! It's generally done by hand. It typically starts by applying a CSS reset to even the playing field. And you should aim at standards compliant CSS and then only as a last resort apply hacks for IE (yes I just called it out). For tools & services i tried Browsershot and Spoon:Browsers . Also for tips and tricks, i found this article and this helpful. Ben

I have two screens plugged into my computer and was wondering if there was a way in JFrame or Toolkit of detecting which screen the window is on? I have this code: java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize(); Which gets my screen size of my main screen, but how can I get the size of my second screen, or detect which screen the window is on? You should take a look at GraphicsEnvironment . In particular, getScreenDevices() : Returns an array of all of the screen GraphicsDevice objects. You can get the dimensions from those GraphicDevice objects (indirectly, via getDisplayMode ). (That
