You were completely and utterly incapable even of reading your courseware or listening to your teacher while he was teaching you yet expect us to give you private tutoring here in the form of a few messages? And you were completely incapable of reading Sun's own website which lists some …

last spam got through my 3 layers of filters half an hour ago. I don't even bother looking at what gets caught by my ISP, knowing it runs close to 2 per minute.

yes. Can't tell you how though, never tried.

like all monitors, mine are too small. Whatever the actual size in inches, that's the only description that matters :)

To your parent you'll always be the little kid who has to have his diapers changed every few hours. Better get used to it, they'll still think of you (subconsciously) like that when you're 50 and they're 80 or so.

yes, they do.

by finding out what "core Java" is.

why not just run it and see what happens? Whatever happened to showing even the tiniest bit of effort and initiative?

correct. And if not you're describing a proxy server :)

Reefs in the southern hemisphere are bleaching despite (or is that because of?) a cold winter. Of course the green mafia blames it on "global warming" but they're just perpetuating their lies of the last decade.

why not? It's their right to do so, to not distribute lies and content that's inflamatory if they don't want to.

Yes and no... Several things come to mind. An enum with a lookup method by column type that returns a handler for that column type is the most obvious. Use a Map of column type names to enum instances for that.

they used to create Logo for that purpose in the 1980s. It was a complete flop. Then they created Visual BASIC, but project managers thought it was a serious language for business systems so that one flopped too for its intended purpose. Next it was Ruby, which was misinterpreted by …

RTFM, it should explain it all.

ALF (the ecoterrorrist group) is hardly an American only thing though in other countries they often go by other names. Unless you mean the TV series which was quite popular over here at the time.

as your question makes no sense no sensible answer is possible. Therefore a potentially non-sensical answer: apple pie screwdriver salad bowl.

requirement to more include clearer question meaning.

take paper, take pencil, apply the one to the other.

Python is used for scripting unit reactions, where speed isn't that essential, rather than for game loops. AFAIK there are no complete (commercial class) games written in it.

by first learning to program

If the murderous scumbag had shown mercy to his victims he'd not have gotten the death penalty. If he'd not insisted on going through the motions of appeal after useless appeal for 30 years and spending millions of taxpayer dollars he'd have been executed far sooner. Fry 'm all.

You obviously don't return the values to the page for display after you handle them.

of course always remember that final only refers to the reference to an object, not the content of that object. So if you make if final you can't assign a new HashSet to it but you can still change what's stored in it.

There's no limits to the hatred of the left for someone who won 2 elections from them despite their best efforts at election fraud... Only yesterday I read a blog where someone openly called for an armed insurrection "against Bush". Bush may not be the brightest president, nor the most …

sounds like another scam, like there are so many.

pointing out potential exploits to admins is fine. Doing so by writing and executing that exploit is definitely NOT fine.

just the default Windows encoding will do, or use UTF-8.

[quote]thats why i am running the program on jdk 1.5 +kawapro5 in order to connect the mysql database with jsp[/quote] God forbid you'r learn how to do things properly, right? And your JSP is a disaster area. NEVER put Java code in a JSP. And ALWAYS close ALL database resources …

As my mother tongue is closely related to Afrikaans, my name remains pretty much the same in that language (though the pronunciation may be a bit different).

RMI in fact makes working with remote objects a lot easier than doing the entire stuff of serialisation, transmission, and receiving yourself. The actual overhead on the client is quite limited, little more than it would be if you were to establish a socket connection to the server (and the …

and the question?

just build a random project idea generator. There seems to be a big demand for those, given the number of times each week we get this exact question in only slightly different wording.

[code] System.out.println("Please provide some input"); [/code] That's all you need to do to ask for input. How you capture that input and what you do with it i'll leave as an exercise to the reader.

just paying for that application (or getting rid of it...) would of course be both easier, cheaper, and more likely to succeed.

The first generation iPod was NOT compatible with anything except Macs. It was only later (about a year I think) that Apple realised that there was a problem, that a lot of people couldn't use their shiny little device, caved in the the real world, and released a PC compatible …

An atomic type in the context referred to most likely should be read as a primitive type. That's int, long, double, float, byte, and char. They don't refer to Object references, like everything else.

Never use == to compare anything that's not a primitive unless you are deliberately intending to find out whether 2 references refer to the same physical location in memory). Use the equals method on an object reference instead. And always remember that Strings are NOT primitives in Java!

in fact Java is overall faster (up to an order of magnitude in some cases) than CGI (C, especially Perl, Ruby/Rails, etc.) and php. There are a number of reasons for this, most important of which is the nature of Java web application architecture. Where CGI creates a new process …

he marries the kid, one way or the other. No buying off your responsibilities. But I've been raised in what these days is apparently a rather oldfashioned way.

No, Java can't create directories under DOS for the very simple reason that Java doesn't work under DOS.

If you'd used standard APIs for XML handling you'd have had no trouble... But to the topic. What you use depends totally on what you're storing. If it's simple flat data, a properties/ini file is the way to go. If it's hierarchical (or likely to become so in the future) …

what you should do is ditch Perl for a real programming language like Ruby, Java, or C# ;) But as it is, the error sounds a lot like you have a typo somewhere in your code.

Yes and no. If there's a webservice running that accesses the database, you'll access the database (albeit indirectly) if you call that webservice. But you can't just send some SOAP message to any old web server asking it to give you a full list of usernames and passwords from its …

you seem blissfully unaware not just of the forum rules but also of what Unicode and CSV are. Were you not you'd understand the silliness of your question.

ASCII is Unicode, so you're done already.

and even if someone were still inclined to help you after all that, how could they given the utter lack of information you provide?

[quote] was laughing at all of the skillfully worded questions. A lot of them exhibit a logical fallacy and the rest are carefully biased. I got some funny looks when I read the Death Match Challenge question. [/quote] yes, seen such things before. Designed to make you choose answers that …

true. But it's far from unstable. It's in fact far more stable when used in the correct environment (meaning the one it was designed for) than any of those "modern" IDEs, and of course far more performant even on the limited hardware of the time.

you should have said so... You asked for people anywhere in the world to mention any Mustangs available for purchase or stealing, didn't specify you required a left hand drive vehicle located in the UK. Be more precise next time. How are you going to get that thing to the …
