Use Your Macbook’s DSL For Your iTouch

February 14, 2009 by blogmeister·1 Comment

macbook After searching through the net if this was possible, I never had any luck getting the solution. A friend of mine who is used to using mac related stuffs taught me how to have your iTouch use your Macbook’s DSL. I thought that you need a WIFI connection for your iTouch to be connected. Then again, his tip did the trick. Do the following.

Open System Preferences

Go to Sharing
Select Internet Sharing but do not check the checkbox just yet.
On the right side of the panel, there should be a label called “Share your connection from:”. That is your DSL. Set the values below “To computers using:” Airport and Ethernet. Make sure both of those are checked. If, say, Ethernet is not checked, then your Macbook will not have any internet connection.
Then select the start button to start your internet sharing.

Java: Remove Duplicates In Vector

Either you do this

Vector newVect = new Vector(new LinkedHashSet(originalVect));

1	Vector newVect = new Vector(new LinkedHashSet(originalVect));

or this, if you do not need a new Vector object created

Collection noDup = new LinkedHashSet(emails);
emails.clear();
emails.addAll(noDup);

Collection noDup = new LinkedHashSet(emails);

emails.clear();

emails.addAll(noDup);

Java: Get All Emails In String

Getting all emails is pretty easy to code if you know how to use regular expressions. Regular expressions ease and lessen your code to a minimum but at the same time giving out the same result as you would writing long code without using them. In Java, I use a regular expression to find all emails within a given string. The method returns a Vector object.

public static Vector findEmailsInContent(String content) {
  Vector emails = new Vector();
  Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(?:\\.\\.+)?([\\w\\-\\.]+@[\\w\\-\\.]+\\.\\w{2,3})");
  Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(content);
  while (matcher.find()) {
    emails.addElement(matcher.group(1));
  }
  return emails;
}

public static Vector findEmailsInContent(String content) {

Vector emails = new Vector();

Pattern pattern = Pattern.compile("(?:\\.\\.+)?([\\w\\-\\.]+@[\\w\\-\\.]+\\.\\w{2,3})");

Matcher matcher = pattern.matcher(content);

while (matcher.find()) {

emails.addElement(matcher.group(1));

}

return emails;

}
