Long story:
I went to a music festival in Germany last weekend. On Friday evening the weather worsened and the whole camp was evacuated due to lightning strikes on the area, heavy rain and hail (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDEptIkevC8). While running to our cars to escape the rain and hailstorm,

Intro
So on Monday I used my computer like usual (little bit of Witcher 3 followed by browsing the Internetz with not much else running). Suddenly the screen turns off. I don't think much of it since I had rare crashes of the video driver since installing the beta driver for GTA V.
Alas! Screen doesn't turn back on. I think to myself "HDMI cable must've slipped out, no biggie". That wasn't the problem either, unfortunately.

Troubleshooting
Tried different HDMI cable, different HDMI port in TV, HDMI port of mainboard instead of video card. - No improvement
Removed all the unnecessary devices (SSD (primary boot device), HDD, optical drives, USB devices, video card), r

So here's the deal: My sister has been using my other sister's old Wildfire S. Now the touchscreen seems to be broken, the image shows the result of Simple Touchscreen Tester (white dots are registered touches).

The touchscreen is basically useless except for the two areas (the small line in the left half and the right third of the screen) and therefore using the phone is pretty impossible. It seems to me as if something in the smartphone is broken hardware-wise but I read in a German forum that this could also be because of a faulty bootloader.

Is there any chance this problem could be caused by software (and thus allowing me to fix

So I am currently watching S5E16...
I guess I wouldn't have to write a single word more because you all know the feeling.
But why do they show Joyce regaining life for a few seconds (I truly was never so relieved by seeing a moment from a tv show) and then she dies anyway? WHY??? Goddammit, she's not a leaf on the wind or something. I truly am speechless now.. wow

May not be very impressive for you guys having played on hard and stuff but I just beat the Flagship for the first time on Easy and I'm currently pretty pumped about that and wanted to share my joy :)
I chose the Red-Tail for this attempt and had at the end a Glaive Beam with 3 of the standard Basic Lasers from the beginning supported by a Defense Drone Mark II. And that's about it. Most of the systems were maxed out and I played without AE so no mind control or other fancy stuff.
I did it! :) (Really sad that it's half past 11 so I couldn't let my emotions run free due to not wanting to wake my housemates or neighbours)

Hi guys, I need your help. I have to write a Java Applet with JDBC connection for a website as a project for college. (Even if using Applets sticks in my craw because it's not exactly state of the art) I coded the Applet and the connection to the database is working in Eclipse if I import the MySQL connector as an external JAR. The problem comes if I try to execute this applet on the website (after signing it and all that stuff)

I placed the connector as jar in

1. the htdocs folder where the website is located
2. it should be exported in the jar I use for my applet
3. in the xampp/tomcat/lib

I don't know what aspect I have missed. I would be really glad if someone could help me out
