knowing more Ruby than Python, it'd be my initial choice. But I'd use Python if I knew it to be more appropriate for the job at hand.

is it still open in a debugger somewhere maybe?

<br> is bad, <br/> is fine if used appropriately... And yes, we care a lot about bad code. In fact I've done some research work in order to allow us to get rid of some of the generated html because a major customer was complaining that the generated code doesn't …

the code sirlink pasted does NOT conform to the standard Java coding style guidelines as published by Sun. That of course does not mean they may not be applicable for some situations where the person determining what style to use has decided to use that specific pattern...

without knowing what the errors are (I'm not going to try it myself), here's some things that are immediately clear: - you're missing several #include directives, starting with iomanip and istream. - you're comparing the array choice with the character 'y' (this might implicitly work, but is very nasty programming …

javascript != Java

impossible to answer. Until the release of Android 2.1 noone thought Symbian would disappear as quickly as it has. The same could happen to both iOS and Android in an instant. That said, Android is far less dependent on a single source for both hardware and software, so is theoretically …

that error means the linker cannot find some or all of the libraries it needs to do its job, you'll need to check your compiler/linker documentation and installation to figure out how to make those known.

[QUOTE=GrimJack;1671731]wtf?!?! what do you need a machine gun for?[/QUOTE] By the definition of the anti-2nd ammendment crowd, ANY semi-automatic weapon and most anything that's not a muzzle loader is a "machine gun". Fully automatic weapons are already banned nationwide (or almost), which is in itself probably a violation of the …

done ranting yet? I hope your "long paper" is more coherent than is this post, as I can't make heads or tails out of it. And oh, you're wrong.

and println will not print \n on most operating systems (it will print either \n, \r, \r\n, or \n\r on most depending on system definitions).

just renewed my WoW and Ryzom accounts for another year. Got tired of waiting for the constantly delayed Tera. Might reinstall Flight Simulator X and give that a whirl again if I want a complete change of scenery, or try to get Total Annihillation working under Windows 7. Nothing else …

more complete explanation: "String" will refer to a String constant on the String constant pool. " String " refers to another String constant on the String constant pool. " String ".trim() refers to a String instance on the heap. The left and right operand of your comparison then are two …

[QUOTE=infantheartlyje;1682292]So You are telling me to create a separate class for student file ?[/QUOTE] no, he's telling you to not blindly serialise objects at all. Instead define a well documented file format containing the fields you want in the order you want, and create readers and writers for that format …

still waiting for that final year project name generator...

yes, it's extremely common. And the last few years it's getting ever worse, and seems to be coming more and more from people whose names and/or locations identify themselves as Indians. They're basically only interested in getting a piece of paper showing themselves programmers, then cheating past a recruitment interview …

come back in about a year. Maybe we will have time for you by then. In other words, there's nothing urgent about it for us. You stating that it is, and thus that you're more important than everyone else and we should all drop what we're doing to help you …

I'd say this "report" is overhyped. The main reason Androis is seeing the seeming rise in popularity it does is because it's relatively new and the release cycle of Android phones is extremely rapid (and we all know that a lot of people want to be "kewl" and end up …

bit.ly and others for that reason have now added preview services to their sites, where typing in the URL you received will be tested to see if it's valid and show a preview of the site linked to.

You're both despicable. You're destroying company property and wasting company time. You should both be fired on the spot.

Use BorderLayout, not FlowLayout, for your main frame. Then put the menu in TOP and the main content in CENTER (in which you may have to add JPanels with their own layout managers to get the effect you want).

I just put in a purchase order with our IT department and they get it all for me :)

go into networking. We don't need more competition in the job market for programmers.

[QUOTE=Narue;1638347]I'm curious. How does Java differ from say, C#, in your opinion?

Not just Dallas.

no, endl should be the standard way to do things. \n is not portable, it's a throwback to C.

You can only switch on integer constants (static final int) or literals.

you're calling methods with parameters that aren't of the correct type. Read the API documentation for the classes and methods involved to figure out what you need to do and change your code accordingly.

[QUOTE=JeffGrigg;1647664]As a practical matter, it can't be 100% Java. There needs to be some kind of bootstrap or microkernel for the lowest level stuff to build upon.

Garth Brooks is a brilliant musician and composer. Just because you don't like his style of music doesn't give you any rights to slander him and call him names, kiddo. Garth has an exclusive arrangement with Walmart, which has its own online store. This is a sad thing for his …

better to use the setMinimumFractionDigits and setMaximumFractionDigits functions on DecimalFormat. The format strings can be confusing :)

no code tags, no question, assuming you're more important than anyone else and can boss us around. FAIL

you're asking for ways to break into computers and either corrupt or steal data. That means you're asking for us to implicate ourselves into crimes you're planning to commit.

well, that just means the compiler either can't find the source file or you've got the file permissions set for it to be not readable for the compiler.

it will give the correct answer, for some definition of "correct answer".

That's why they won't last (at least not as a VIABLE alternative ;) ). Reminds me of Lindows, who tried the same and were stupid enough to get themselves indicted for trademark infringement in the process. And if these kids claim openly to be a Windows clone, they could face …

expecting to learn Java in a few days to a degree where you can fool your teachers into thinking you're more than an absolute beginner is your first major mistake. Won't even start on the delusion that you can learn Java (or indeed anything) by just watching a few youtube …
