Code: FIFO List in JavaFebruary 25th, 2006 One of the common questions I hear from Java newcomers is - where is a FIFO list in Java?
Java does have a FIFO list capability built-in with LinkedList and ArrayList, but they are not well advertized. A FIFO interface should at least have:
public interface FIFO {
/** Add an object to the end of the FIFO queue */
boolean add(Object o);
/** Remove an object from the front of the FIFO queue */
Object remove();
/** Return the number of elements in the FIFO queue */
int size();
}
A FIFOList class implementing the above would simply be:
public class FIFOList extends LinkedList implements FIFO {
public Object remove() {
return remove(0);
}
}
I prefer this setup instead of using a LinkedList.remove(0) directly.

If you uncheck you do take IE8 away from available programs, but it is still there and if you check the box again it will show all your favourites, cache stuff etc.
I did it to try to “repair” what is not working on my computer (but works on my wife’s computer, but there is no repair tool for this version of IE it seems????

They keep the feature which allows you to turn off IE8, but from my understanding it does not delete IE8. I was told that IE is needed for the error reports.

It SUCKS. Wanna know why? ’cause IE8 is still there, even when you turned it off. I’ve got .dbx files which I want to import in Outlook. To do this, I need to install Outlook Express, which only comes with IE6. When I want to install IE6, windows keep naggin’ that IE8 is still there and therefore cannot be installed! Argh, FRUST!
