This is just wrong; propaganda with no basis in fact or study; mostly, based on single incidents that are completely misrepresented. If you have a study to back your statement, please link to it.

Not at all wrong. Anyone surviving under socialist health"care" can tell you that.

It's only socialist nutters like you who believe it works.

I don't know, does it do what you want?

Hi jwenting, woudnt the user get confused when he/she clicks on back button and the current page reloads?

Probably, but it would have the desired effect :)

it's easy, they're making a mess of things.

no, not for any price you are able to afford. And certainly not without a lot more information.

define setters :)

And for that $5000+ plus hospital and doctors' fees the Canadian has to wait half a year or more to get an MRI or CAT scan performed, 2-3 years for major surgery, etc. etc..

yes, if it's a computer performing certain key functions like a core router or DNS server it certainly can do so :)

not urgent.

I've just installed a JDK and Visual Studio on all my machines :)
No internet connection required.

and how would that ever work?
I can name anything at all ".txt" even if it's not a ".txt" file (whatever that means), or I could have a ".txt" file that has a completely different name.
You'll have to find some way to determine whether a file is a ".txt" file based on the file content, not name.

I'm pretty sure your "friend" is actually you and you're too lazy to do your own homework.

your "friend" is supposed to figure that out for himself, do his own research.

Thread.sleep(<time>)

just look at the API docs for java.io :)
The File class would be a good place to start.
FileOutputStream etc. too.

iTunes doesn't "embed" anything in the media files, the images are stored separately on disk :)

leftists never understand (or choose to understand, which amounts to the same thing) anything they don't like (or rather, that their Leaders tell them they don't like, as they're incapable of independent thought).
It's the only possible way that their utter lack of common sense can be explained.

You apparently have no clue as to how iTunes works, as it works completely different from what you describe.

Even with those tax breaks they'd still be among the highest taxed IT shops in the world.

in theory. But you should never use a JSP for anything except showing things, NEVER do business logic in them.

then why haven't you figured it out yet?
Maybe you were thinking about the wrong thing? ;)

we do indeed, but if you're getting insults and harassment spewed at you at every turn it's hard to keep participating.
When it turns to actual verifiable threats it's downright dangerous (hasn't happened to me yet, but to some people I've met).

Stereotype much?

Nah.
But people like him are the reason I generally don't tip. They see it as an entitlement and expect it for any piss poor lack of service.
I tip IF the service was good, more if it was excellent.
Usually, and worse in expensive than in cheap restaurants, the service is abysmal and not worth rewarding.

And we all know that medical insurance industry has never denied anyone any medical procedure or medication nor allowed anyone to die untreated.

That's a business transaction between you, the insurer, and the doctor.
It's not a legal diktat that you can't be treated because you're too old, young, rich, poor, have the wrong colour of skin, or simply because some cabinet member's mistress needed a new private jet and now the healthcare budget is expended.

Facebook users are not known to be the smartest people on the intarweb, but that they were this stupid surprised even me:

technically true. But you could keep a record of where the user has been and when trying to get to the previous (next in that case wouldn't ever happen) URL simply reload the page they're on.

if it's a Nat Geo photo (published by them?) they most likely own the copyright, it's their standard contract when purchasing the publication rights, so it's not yours to sell.

If you can sell it, check with your local professional photography organisation. Chamber of commerce should be able to get you their contact information.
Prices varry greatly, depending on use (which you know, sorta), size, resolution, distribution numbers, etc. etc.

But don't expect payment here. These guys want to use your image for free most likely and are just being nice to ask first (a lot of them don't, having no idea about intellectual property whatsoever).

You can create pretty much any constructor style you want in Java.
The only thing not done so much is a copy constructor, as Java has special mechanisms for that functionality using the Cloneable interface (but you could still do it).

The answer to increased cost (which is inevitable in any socialist healthcare system, ALL countries having one have this) is to 1) increase taxes and 2) reduce service.
Needed procedures don't get performed because quota are met, people are left to suffer and die because there aren't enough beds and doctors to treat them or simply because the required procedure isn't allowed to be performed on them or medication can't be prescribed because it's not on some list of things that are "approved" for their condition.

This has nearly killed both my parents at least once, until they got their private extension policy to the government dictated service to pay for life saving medication that would otherwise have been denied them.
Expect a mass increase in medical errors as doctors can't spend the time and means required to do a proper job (and simply no longer care, as it's a loosing battle against the system anyway).

I've observed this first hand, and heard about it from many others in several countries with government run healthcare systems.

Better yet, find out where in your application you're doing too many String.intern() operations (implicitly or explicitly) and fix that.
That's the cause of over 90% of all permgen space errors.

VI

well, you're not trying in that code :)

check your bean classes etc., do they have the proper signatures (including required exceptions)?

and so much more appropriate for the level of service usually provided (if not actually overly high for the service provided at the moment which is usually abysmal).

You will find ALL the details in the installation manual.
AFAIK you will need at least Oracle 11gR2 though, not 9i.

there's never a reason to use finalize(), at least not until you know very well how it works and once you do you realise there's always a better way to do things.

Finalize works on an instance of a class, if it works at all. Static members are not bound to any instance and therefore aren't finalized until such a time as finalize is called on the Class instance for the class as a whole, which typically doesn't happen until the JVM shuts down.

It seems the policies on publishing tutorials on daniweb are very strict but is there any reason why they need to be unique (eg. SEO) It would be nice if daniweb had a wiki that everybody could contribute to.

making sure Dani isn't violating any copyright laws would be one.

and what's the problem? Seems easy enough.

Wait actually i think it counts the total number of the letters and spaces in the string. For example, there are like 2 spaces etc etc.
Is this right?

Never read more in the specs than they state. The specs state to output that text to screen, so that's what you write.
What the author of the specs intended has nothing to do with that, if they signed off on that document, that's what they get unless they pay extra.

It won't. 85% of Americans (last I heard, may be higher) don't like that thing.
And then there was the utterly undemocratic way it was pushed through congress which pisses even more people off.

All in all a great show of communist style government.

It's supposed to output that text to screen I assume.
That's quite simple :)

too late now anyway, if it were really urgent.

OMG! How could you even consider Palin as VP?

I'd rather have had her as POTUS, but that wasn't an option

All the ones I know of that build desktops also build laptops. It's still the same process.

Not here. Only 1 I know does, and they can only do it because they have several large volume corporate customers so they can afford to buy the components in bulk.

don't EVER try to put Java code in JSP.

anyone opening up their smtp server for the world is just creating an open spam relay and soon finds their server blacklisted by the entire planet.

So even if doing javamail inside a jsp were smart (it isn't) trying to use a public mail server you don't have explicit credentials to use is idiotic.

it's no matter of opinion at all. The God Class (which having one massive class is called) is known to be a very bad thing.
It's a well documented anti-pattern.

not urgent.

hello world!

your problem is that you're not using code tags
