Did you really have to revive a thread more than 3 years old with 2 posts, one by a banned member, and one by a member who's not been seen in 3 years?

I won't touch anything created by Google. It's all spyware.
Anyway, the first 2 security leaks have already been identified in it. Rather quick, only a few hours after release...

the madness stops when the last mad person (aka homework kiddo) dies a slow, painful, death.

And that won't happen as long as there are idiots who give those homework kiddos what they want.

nah. We use them to make fun of the kiddos instead ;)

their quality control is no better or worse than that of any other company.
It's just that their products are so much more complex than most, which means that it's impossible to find all problems...

your teacher can teach just fine. But you're too stupid or lazy to learn.

I may :D

and where is the worm going to come out?
Just so I can avoid that spot :)

what is a brain?
what is a search engine?

The garbage collector is very smart. There's hardly ever a need to use the provided commands to SUGGEST it runs.
If you think you need to, you almost certainly have an error somewhere in your code...

not interesting.
Just buy an osciloscope, they're cheap.

Ronald Reagan for president!
He's a better president dead than either of the current candidates will ever be alive.

Medicare is a disaster, OSHA is meddling with the rights of people, postal services are far more effecient and cheaper when run as private enterprises.
The drug supply is pretty much guaranteed by...

writing code on paper is little different from writing it on a computer when you get used to it.
Maybe I'm getting old but it's how I actually learned programming. We used a mainframe and each...

nope, they're called lawyers.

I've seen many islands, and even been to a few. Which island are you referring to? :)

Not sure who it was, but I heard the notion years ago that evolution of a species stops when that species starts changing its environment to suit itself.
Then when that species starts caring for its...

yah. It's no different in customer support. Customers flag every single issue as critical, with the inevitable result that we stop looking at that flag and determine ourselves what's important...

how often do we have to tell you kids to NOT do database access from JSP?

So because you were lazy and didn't start until 3 weeks before the paper is due, and can't be bothered to do more than a cursory search of the web, you want us to write your paper for you...

Do...

Nope. Start with installing MS Office (or another word processor), so you can create your design documents.

how about doing your own research rather than sitting there waiting for others to do it for you?
It's your homework, not ours.

Or monster.com

All you're going to get here are a few homework kiddos who are too lazy to even do basic programming assignments at school let alone to work a fulltime job.

and another lazy kid who can't think for itself asks the exact question a thousand other lazy kids have asked before just in the last few months.

No kiddo, we're not going to do your thinking for...

It's a KFir CE, next time don't take pictures from Wikipedia :)

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
JFileChooser fileChooser = new JFileChooser(".");
int status = fileChooser.showOpenDialog(screen);

yes, anything to which there are no more references will be deleted by the garbage collector at some point. No need to keep track of that yourself and do things like malloc, calloc, and realloc.

and giving an answer that's incorrect too...

Everyone knows the giraffe was created by Ford Prefect after he got bored during a trip to Africa during the stone age :)

are there reputable online colleges? I thought they were all diploma mills where lazy cheating fraudsters can buy real looking diplomas from nonexistent universities.

Take me to your lizzard!

It's been tried in that small country they call the USSR...
In fact the situation was worse there, management got paid less there because physical labour was deemed more worthy and politically...

There you go. Not the cheapest (up to several thousand dollars depending on the functionality you require) but very powerful.

Google said so...

If you're serious about making it a hobby and you want manual control, get a decent DSLR now and don't throw away money on a digicrap (or point and shoot camera as they're called by the politically...

The current breed of "environmentalists" are purely political creatures who don't care about the environment except as a means to an end, the end being absolute political power.

Personally I like...

Diesel engines are by now as clean as petrol engines or cleaner. The cancer scare is just that, a scare created by greenies in order to pressure for higher taxes and more draconian anti-car...

In Ur they had neither C nor C++.
Come to think of it they didn't have + either, they used other characters entirely for writing.

J2E doesn't exist. And if it did exist there would be no "best" book for it, but a series of books, each with its own pros and cons.

Once you start down the slippery slope of banning things because they're "bad for morals" or "improper for people to see" there's no end to what someone will end up banning.

Maybe we should ban...
