You're so behind the times. With all the Mad Scientists hell bend on either conquering or destroying the world, do we really want to help fund them?

After all, Hollywood and politicians tell us this is the case, so it must be true...

started dabbling in GW Basic as a teen. Was the only thing available to me. Didn't get an actual compiler until years later, good old Turbo Pascal.

read my above reply as to why that won't happen...

Electric storage devices are not quite there yet to make a practical electric car. Might be just around the corner.

They've been "just around the corner" for 20 years or more now ;)
But there's a limit to the storage capacity and lifecycle of batteries, and all efforts to break through one have caused severe problems with the other.

IOW you can either have a battery that has great energy density OR a battery that lasts a long time OR a battery that charges quickly.
More than 2 of those (and you need all 3 to make a viable battery for electric cars) seems to be impossible to achieve.

In addition, the best compromises we've come up with so far all require large amounts of very rare materials which are found only in a few places on the planet.
We'd be replacing our dependency on OPEC with one on a cartel of countries controlling those assets (and that's mostly China and Russia, who together control over 95% of all deposits...).

I'd rather there were no alien spacecraft visiting us, as the only economically viable reason to travel across interstellar distances is colonisation/expansion.

It takes too long, and is too expensive, for trade. Missionary activity usually leads to military intervention (thus, colonisation) if the natives aren't eager to convert (and I doubt the entire lemur population of the earth would instantly convert to some alien religion, and the aliens would never consider that lemurs aren't the dominant species...).

So if "they" come, it'll be with a fleet of colonists, backed up by heavy weaponry to take care of whatever trouble they might encounter in their colonisation effort (meaning, us...).

the eclipse documentation knows :)
Add the required jars to your project as external libraries and you're set.

we can add "no indentation" to that as well. Stephen: have you upgraded your crystal ball to 1.6u22 yet? I hear that there are problems with temporal leakage in the future vision support.

The lack of indentation is an inevitable result of the lack of code tags. html renderers by protocol will strip all leading whitespace (thus all indentation) from strings.

Sure, you could use a library that uses another networking stack, but you'd be limiting your audience to people using networks using that stack.

If you're programming raw sockets, you can only ever send bytes. Java also lets you send Strings and integers, because it handles the conversion to bytes for you.
You can of course send anything by serialising it, that's one of the things serialisation was created for.

Pretty much every other networking library you could bolt onto any programming language will work on top of sockets, so you'd be using them anyway :)

if you did that you couldn't sit on it at all... Best get a new chair first, THEN break the old one, much more practical ;)

For that, contact human resources or facilities management, depending on the reasons the chair is bad (if it's merely broken, facilities should provide a replacement, if you need a special chair for health reasons like a bad back, human resources is the place to be).

super secret stuff mere mortals can't handle. Their brains'd explode out of their ears, which leaves a terrible mess (we experimented, why do you think the total number of users is so much lower than the active number of users?).

and why would any of us know? And if we knew, why would we tell you? We'd be under an NDA about such things.

Call the company on the phone, email might get lost or end up on the wrong desk.

yup, it's a classpath error. It's missing Hibernate-utils I think. Eclipse probably preloads that automagically.

you won't find a website that gives you "zuh koduz" for something like this, no.

and no, we're not going to write it for you, and we're not going to help you steal bandwidth from cellphone networks so you can fleece them out of customers.

plz reply bk

good luck with your homework. Do tell us how you succeeded.

@Naruto1
Your code is irrelevant to the OP's stated requirement. If you have a question about your own homework create a new thread of your own; do not hijack someone else's thread.

I love it how one homework kiddo hijacks another :) Less threads for the moderators to remove.

Depends what are you doing. If you stay up late to play games, you are a game addict

not necessarily. Maybe if you did it all day, every day, from early to late and never do anything else.
But then still, it doesn't make you an addict.

An addict is dependent on something, and will typically have physical problems when that something is taken away.
I've yet to find someone who gets physically ill when he's prevented from playing a game.

the biggest IT risks in my experience ARE the managers.
They impose impossible deadlines, so corners get cut.
They demand things that can't be done without compromising security, then demand it gets done anyway when that's pointed out to them (then blame the person implementing it for the inevitable problems).

There's a maximum length to URIs. Don't think the specs care as long as you stick to that.
Of course individual implementations of the spec often place further restrictions, so your dns server may not like it.

Hashtable is rarely a good basis for a data structure. It's slow...

Then you do not know any professional athlete ;)

known more guys (not this one, he did double triathlons for fun) who cycled 200+km for a saturday morning workout, before breakfast.

no, we're not going to help you cheat on an exam.

It's impossible to say what you "should" use.
It all depends on the available knowledge, means (financial and otherwise), and exact requirements of the customer (and the development team being created).

I've created and maintained real reservation (and other online ordering) systems that were big enough to require the use of massive Oracle databases, distributed Java application servers, multiple redundant data centers to host it all.
But I seriously doubt something for a local church would have to be that big :)

php or Ruby on Rails would probably be quite sufficient, though given the no doubt inferior technical expertise of the customer's IT department to that of a major international company's you're going to have to do a lot more to provide in-application security than I did, and php and Ruby on Rails are known for their miriad security holes (Java is out of the box much more secure).

For a database, mySQL or PostgrSQL should suffice for the same reasons.

Best to do is determine what environments are supported by your chosen hosting provider and do a thorough study into the merits (cost, capabilities, security, etc.) of all of the possible combinations before deciding what to use.

if you only start whitebox testing after your blackbox testing is complete, you've started way too late, as it should have been (largely) the other way around.

just don't go the way of my former colleague who ended up addicted to the gym, exercise, and food supplements until they had to call emergency and rush him to hospital in an ambulance to get his stomach pumped.
He was spending 7 hours a day at the gym (12+ hours weekends) in addition to working a fulltime job 75km from home, a distance he travelled on his racing bicycle every day.

Erich von Daenicken postulated pretty much the same decades ago. I didn't buy it then, I don't buy it now.
The idea of course is that we could never have evolved here because the earth isn't old enough, which is utter BS.

actually, no. Islam sees Jesus as just another prophet, in fact as the second to last prophet before muhammed.
The concept of the holy trinity as Christianity knows it is sacrilige to them.

Why don't you try to explain it and we'll shoot holes in your argument until you get it right?
It's your homework, and it looks as if your understanding of the concepts leaves quite a bit to be desired. But we're not going to do your homework for you!

exactly. as for the starting here you'd get less than 400$/ month (that's lucky, some get less than 300$)

And how does that relate to things like rent, insurance, prices of food?
Starting salaries here may be $3000, but $2700 of that goes to taxes, food, insurance, rent, etc. and the rest isn't enough to do much more than go to a movie sometimes or buy some CDs.
If your $400 stretches further than that, you're therefore better off than a beginner here...

too late...

From Wikipedia (red emphasis added by me)...

Thus if you have a 1000 byte file, your key needs to be at least 1000 bytes. Contrast that with the Caesar Cipher, where you have a one digit key (if you can even call it a "key") and your message can be as long as desired. So it seems to me you need TWO input files, one for the input message, one for the key, and ONE output file for the output message, so I think you should start from scratch.

And you need to have the decryption algorithm needed to decrypt the text.
While often an OTP may use a simple substitution cipher, this isn't a given.
At the very least there may be an offset in the key from which to start for example, either fixed or derived from the encrypted data in some way.

you have to put it all into perspective.
Someone over here might make 10 times what you make for the same work, but if his cost of living is 20 times higher, he's worse off than you are.

So do you guys think religion is just a big scam?

No. It's people who use religion to scam other people. It's quite possible to be religious without scamming or being scammed by other people, you just have to keep your head screwed on straight (as with all things in life).

I'm neither religious nor atheist. I don't believe in any god(s), but neither do I believe in the non-existence of gods.
Give me scientific evidence (and "it says so in the holy book which was written by god and is therefore always right because it says god is always right" isn't scientific evidence) that your religion is correct and I'll join it.
Joining any other religion would be a bad bet, as all religions treat those who follow other gods worse than those following none at all and given the number of religions you're more likely to join one that on judgment day turns out to be the wrong one.

read up on JSTL, stop using Java code in JSP.

And read your code. You're iterating through the entire List, and only afterwards printing a single value.
Hardly surprising you're not getting the result you expect.

Setting the classpath doesn't mean that it is wrong..

Setting the classpath at system level is wrong. It invites trouble with relying on libraries you don't realise you have in your classpath, including version conflicts.
Adding rt.jar to the classpath is wrong as well. It's not only completely unnecessary, it's harmful especially if you have several JDKs installed.

IOW, you're telling him to do something that's just plain wrong for 2 reasons.

Did anyone consider if they commited suicide their family will recieve a large insurance. They might commit suicide on purpose so that their family will be rich once they received the insurance. Funny why they should do that when they can just go and strike lottery

Most life insurance policies explicitly state they won't pay in case of suicide.

US highest suicide rates by profession:
dentists
white male physicians
veterinarians

first two categories at least driven to it by the masses of frivolous lawsuits filed by ambulance chasers against them...

when you can "raise your hand if you're from the '80s" because they didn't specify which century ;)

unlikely. Especially as you're
1) in the wrong place
2) not giving any information as to your problems

open text editor.
start typing.

Or did you mean you don't know what minimax is? In which case some research would be recommended.

darn, they changed it again?

"copy the path of rt.jar file and set the class path in environmental variables"

WRONG. Not needed, not recommended, don't do this.

so you trust them with billions of equipment, but not with a cheap PC?
And you think it's strange they're p*ssed off about that?

Like I said, you're the problem here.

That's not a Java problem, it's a problem with your understanding (or lack thereof) of your operating system.
You need to add the location of the java.exe and javac.exe to your system path environment variable (they're in the same directory).

thats the reason why 90+ percent of large US corporation moved all the US Manufactureing plants out of the US and all those folks being layed off!

WRONG! The reason for that is union wages which make the US worker 5-10 times more expensive than one in Asia or Mexico, and union work conditions which mean US workers can't be fired (from unionised shops, which most manufacturing is) for incompetence, laziness, or shoddy work, causing US products to be substandard as well as overpriced.
Reagan had nothing to do with that, in fact he fought unions every step of the way.
Clinton of course (and the community organiser in chief especially) had everything to do with that.

complete a real education rather than hoping to land a job like that after cramming for an exam.
No decent company will hire a 16 year old with A+ and no college or better education and/or years and years of professional experience.

For reasons which I will not go into here, this certain class of users were required to have administrative access to their computers. It's partly political and partly technical.

which means they were either managers (who get it for political reasons) or developers (who NEED it (and the ability to install and run software without your approval) for technical reasons).
If managers, you did right.
If developers, you hurt your company massively for your personal glory.

spam, spam, wonderful spam!

make money online posting nonsense to random forums! Make $10.000 a month tax free!
As seen on CNN!

spam, eggs, bacon, and spam anyone?

Would fit with OPs profession...

A democracy is only as good as the education (honest information) of its voters.

which means all democracies are fundamentally flawed, as they're all driven by lies.
It's rather hard to win elections by saying "ok, we made a mess of things, unless we cut government expenses by 90%, stop all subsidies, stop playing santa claus to anyone who wants free money, things aren't going to get better".
Yet that's exactly what's needed in all democracies right now to get things back on track (implementing, or trying to, the lies is what caused the economic collapse we've been having for the last several years in the first place).

do your own homework, kiddo, and don't resurrect long dead spam threads.
