            <title>Software suggestion</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1319357</link>
            <description>Hi, I am trying to find ideas on creating a software where the functions are needed by people to help them in their tasks etc. but it is not available in the market yet. I know that the software available nowadays are able to satisfy almost all of consumer needs. So, are there any software which can help you but it is not develop or fully functional yet?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The software has to be marketable and beneficial to users. Picture that the company which develop this software can make profits.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Feel free to voice your ideas but please don&amp;#39;t  suggest hacking software or anything that will be deemed as illegal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thank you</description>

            <title>Help Needed. Unknown laptop problem.</title>
            <link>http://forum.lowyat.net/topic/1214352</link>
            <description>Hi. Need urgent help. My laptop display will suddenly be like the photo shown below and I will have to restart it. Furthermore, sometimes during the day, it will restarts by itself even when I am in the middle of using the laptop for my work. Before this all started, I had problem with the Sleep/Hibernate mode which whenever I set those mode and switched on my laptop after that, the screen could not display anything.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please help me in this as I need my laptop for my Uni work. Thanks in advance.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a240/vroom_tech/DSC00538.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;</description>

            <description>Hello. I need help on deciding what type of Container to use for Section A. I have consulted my lecturer on this but he only advised to use TabbedPane to switch the contents in Section A. I feel TabbedPane is not that user-friendly as the user need to click on the tab. I would want to use buttons to switch the contents in Section A. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please advise. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Reference:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a240/vroom_tech/1.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src='http://i12.photobucket.com/albums/a240/vroom_tech/2.jpg' border='0' alt='user posted image' /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

THe program segment is not in error but the output couldn&amp;#39;t be delivered as requested by the dedicated classes.&lt;br /&gt;For example if the class that is called upon in inheritence of the Member Class, the values in Member class are not being displayed but only the two dedicated values in each subclasses which is respectively &amp;quot;MemberType &amp;amp; MembershipFees&amp;quot; only. All the previous values in the super class, Member class are not displayed but left null when the program is executed. Hope that anyone could really help me in solving this particular problem. Thanks a lot to everyone. &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>
