Interesting discussion on Volokh.com about this: [url]http://volokh.com/posts/1160717822.shtml[/url]

I've been waiting for the market to crash for almost a decade now so I can afford to buy a house... While house prices aren't rising as sharply as they used to a few years ago (and in some categories even seem to be in a very slow decline) I …

Why can we select only one option here? :) [quote]anyone else heard the rumors that the beeb wants to axe top gear?[/quote] anti-car fanatics have been trying for years to get Top Gear axed, claiming everything from "it's bad for the environment" to "it glorifies bad driving". It remains one …

It's so easy to say one should just get a new email address but that's often not an option. I've had my domain and email address since 1998. Reaching everyone who needs to be reached to send them a new address is impractical at best, impossible at worst. If you …

pfw... [b]You Passed 8th Grade Math[/b] [img]http://images.blogthings.com/couldyoupasseighthgrademathquiz/passed.jpg[/img] Congratulations, you got 10/10 correct!

Take some good classes and read some good books. Sun's SL-275 course is excellent and not too expensive (about $2000 for a week, quite reasonable for what you get). For books, Head First Java is a good way to get started. After that get the certification book by the same …

That's certainly no standard package. It's probably developed (or described at least) somewhere else in the book in a section you skipped over.

Even Microsoft themselves tell you to remove the MS JVM and install the Sun one ;) It's only about 8 years out of date.

That's eBay, people are always paying silly prices there. Remember that many people are addicted to shopping and they get a sense of achievement from "winning" an auction. They often don't know the retail price of what they're buying, sometimes don't even know what they're buying, and/or get swept away …

instead of the URI for the result JSP, place the URI for the servlet (as mapped in the web.xml deployment descriptor) in the link tag. Then in the servlet place the result of its operation in the request or session (if it should be persistent between requests) and forward the …

A blank vote is the traditional way to oppose all candidates. Your vote is registered that way but goes to noone. If enough people do it every candidate will feel it in their percentages, showing them they're unpopular. But the only way to maybe influence who's on the lists of …

And when it comes to Java a variable is NEVER an object. A variable (either a static or instance data member, technically) is always either a primitive or a reference to an object on the heap, never that object itself.

As a professional you're a student as well. If you stop educating yourself you'll soon find yourself with outdated skills and unable to get a job if for whatever reason your current job disappears.

I don't generally like remakes... [url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0083943/[/url] is the original.

who cares about that bunch of fraudsters?

probably caused a cache somewhere to clear, that's often all there is to it with weird things like that.

few years old yet getting ever more relevant. Sadly most people won't notice what's happening until it's too late, and those that do notice are too few and in no position to do much of anything about it except save up for a small house somewhere in the middle of …

he does need the PSDK, as the versions shipped with VC6 are so far outdated that VC2005 will not work with them. VC2005 requires the latest version of the PSDK.

see the API docs.

Create something to hold a version number and something that can report that version number to something else that asks for that version number and can then determine if it is in the expected range of version numbers for what it wants to do or not.

I guess though that that's how he'd have wanted to go. Not confined to a bed by illness or old age but out in the wild working with animals.

The output is unpredictable. Depending on the exact order in which the threads run you will get a different result. This is caused by your threads each holding on to their own local sum variable and overwriting the global one. A correct version of the program would be like this: …

That's a very old article, well and truely overtaken by events. Those requirements are extremely vague and silly btw, impossible for me to see what you're saying you need to do and I severely doubt you understand it yourself. It makes no sense at all.

Dani likes to play around with the titles, they change once in a while ;)

hmm, "computers are my life, sadly" is missing. I'm starting to hate the things, but there's no avoiding them when you work as a software engineer...

why so hard? There's a method that will let you reverse a string using a single method call ;) Not going to tell you where to find it, it should be easy if you have the API docs at hand.

and why are you trying to install a several year old beta?

how are you calling the thing? You're doing something wrong, which is typical of people stepping outside the world of IDEs for the first time.

The Lord of the Rings JRR Tolkien I currently own 4 copies (in different editions) and a dozen or more secondary works about Tolkien's universe, must have read it 25 times or more and still find new things. 08-15 Kirst Probably little known by now, a chilling account of the …

Oh no, not another kid who can't think for themselves. Whatever happened to originality and coming up with your own ideas? Why not just ask people to post a complete project plan with full implementation right away so you don't have to bother posting other questions after you get someone …

Anything more mentally challenging than Eastenders is way above the intellect of not just the TV audience but the producers and hosts employed by European TV stations.

far simpler than that, you're not going to treat them as numbers at all. String.indexOf() is your friend here.

It's not at all clear what you think you're doing there. You're never outputting any "shapes" so it's not surprising they're not shown. In fact you can't output them because you don't have any place to output them to (and if you had you'd need a quite different input mechanism …

do your own homework kid.

5.0 has autoboxing. P.S I h8 it when kids use h@x0r 5pe@k.

works fine (except for the error you made in the calculation routine). Question is, do you know how to use the program you wrote? How do you expect it to work?

[url]http://www.pragmaticprogrammer.com/[/url] Get their CVS book, their project automation book, their unittesting book, and maybe others that sound interesting. Great reads, great information in a package you can actually use.

people who deliberately (which means in large quantity, and despite being told not to) continue to use SMS speak should be banned.

when parsing html browsers will remove leading and trailing whitespace. That's part of the required behaviour for them.

maybe in 6 months I'll have a few minutes to think about your problem. Come back by then and ask nicely (so no bold, capitals, exclamation marks, telling it's URGENT ASAP IMMEDIATELY!!!!!, etc. etc.).

not another homework assignment... Why can't you kids ever do your own homework? Are you really that lazy or are you just incredibly stupid?

In a free market, the market will speak. If ISPs are liable for damages or prosecution if their users have access to certain sites (and they are, especially when it comes to sites promoting or enabling criminal activity) I see nothing wrong with ISPs having the option to deny their …

this is Java, not C. A String isn't a char so you can't cast one to the other.

Check your classpath settings. Most likely you don't have the current directory ('.') in your classpath. Or if not that, you have a typo somewhere in your classname (remember Java is case sensitive) or you're in the wrong directory (and the directory your classes root in is not in the …

That page is displayed from the browsercache, there's very little you can do about it. There are some hacks that disable backbuttons and stuff but those are easily circumvented (and will just piss off your users). Another option is to set some headers that cause the page to expire immediately …

hint: which flag are you setting and which flag are you checking?

Sounds rather simple. Start with a piece of paper and write down what each class is and what it's supposed to do. Translate that into fields and methods for each class. That's your initial design, and you make it on paper with a pencil for a very good reason: it …
