Java 5 introduces a new class named Scanner. This class provides the best way to work with stream of character.
Using the class, you can reduce the code to read and process any character stream, that’s include file or any other input stream. That means you can also use System.in for getting input interactively from user in a console application (something that is very hard to do with previous Java version).
For more information about Scanner, see the tutorial in Sun.

Who don’t like comic strip? My favorite is Foxtrot, so it’s pretty disappointing when Bill Amend announced that he will only release a new comic once a week, not every day like before.
Anyway, if you have a certain comic strip’s favorite, you can collect them in your local machine as long as you don’t publish it anywhere else. The most primitive way is of course just ‘copy and paste’ the image everyday (or every new comic is released).
If you use linux, there is a better way to do it. Just install dailystrips package and configure it to run everyday with all comic titles you want to download and it will do the jobs for you. You can anytime go o your archive and read all the comics you haven’t read.
For Mac, the most convenient way is to use ACMEreader. This is also a free application and it has nicer interface than dailystrips. The drawback is that you have to open the application once in a while to make sure that you don’t miss any release.
So don’t wait any longer, start your comic strip collection now!
