There is a difference between high end and low end systems, but at some point you get diminishing returns.
So while there's a definite difference between $10 and $100 headphones, the difference between $100 and $100 headphones is a lot smaller.

the class changed, therefore any old serialised instances are now incompatible with the new class structure.

it's simple:
1) determine how much of a homework kiddo the person is (in your case, that's 100%)
2) deduct that percentage from 100 to give the maximum IQ of the person (in your case, 0).

you rez a 5 year old zombie for some useless stupidity?

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

correct. You're calling a method on your object instance before that instance has been fully initialised.
In the call to super you can pass only constructor arguments and static method calls, not instance members and methods.

he was talking about iterating over the structure and "clearing the buffer", so I assumed a simple loop iteration and bulk delete from the data structure, therefore no random access.

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

you're talking about random inserts and deletes, I'm talking about inserts and deletes only at the end of the list.
That's faster for single linked list as there's less to do (if you keep a pointer to the last element of course so you don't have to traverse the entire list to get to the last element) :)

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

so? Initialise the variable before using it.

Trying to get into your current company's IT department might be a good move.
Maybe they'd be willing to have you spend say 2 days there, 3 days at your current position. That would enable you to gain skills while still being productive.

well, first you don't use JSP for the actual emailing.
You use servlets or EJB for that, the JSP are only the frontend (the screens) to display data and enable to user to interact with the system.

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

double linked list is slower for insert and delete and uses more memory.
It's only really preferable over a single linked list if you desire iteration in both directions.

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

The drawbacks are mainly in code maintainability.
Everyone expects to find 1 class per source file, including most IDEs.

See the filename, you know what class is contained in it and vice versa.
Want to change a class? Change that file and all other classes are not touched. Ideal for version control purposes.

Correct. NaN is defined mathematically to not be equal to itself.

good luck. Sounds like a fun little project.
If you have specific questions rather than "do my work for me" do come back and ask for help.

First rule: don't do it unless you're using inner classes
Second rule: see first rule

Third rule: if you insist, read the JLS for what's allowed and what's not.

The main problem is the massive amount of data.
The same thing happens in some areas of physics where the amount of data generated in a single experiment can run into the petabytes.

Or you can block the server that generates the ads by adding it as an exclusion to your hosts file or blocking it in your firewall.

Just so you know the risks and won't be disappointed. Don't give up your current job yet ;)

The best thing you can probably do is learn the skills in your spare time while holding on to your current job.
When you feel comfortable, consider joining some open source project with a solid background (most are bad. and it can be very hard to figure out which is which) to gain practical experience.
That's the time to start looking for a job as well.

Were the economy and job market different (like it was in the late '90s for example) you could have gotten a junior job now and get on the job training.
In the current market that's no longer the case. There are droves of unemployed people with the right education and work experience who are a lot cheaper and less risky for companies to hire than you are, however talented you may be.

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

That's some extremely shady business practices your employer wants to use.
Automatically searching websites for semi-random phone numbers (and possibly other contact information) in order to blindly call people with marketing offers is no better than spambots searching usenet and forums for email addresses for their victim databases.

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

Sounds like what you really want is a single linked list.
That's fast for insert and iteration, slow for delete.

Storing them inside a jar that's loaded by the application is most convenient.
For maintenance reasons it's best this be a separate jar, so it can be delivered by different people once the project grows beyond the size of a single person and tasks get spread out (separate artists, coders, etc.).

Do preload at least the most common images on application startup for performance reasons.

Sounds like some Indian body shop, only interested in stuffing employees' resumees with tons and tons of buzzwords to make them seem competent.

Every recruiter claims to want talent, the "top 5 percentile" of candidates.
In reality, they prefer mediocrity as that's a lot cheaper and less likely to have high demands when it comes to what work to do and under what conditions.

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

I'll be brutally honest with you: you don't stand a chance.
Most companies won't hire anyone without experience when they're over say 25 years old. Too expensive.
And by the time you get your degree, you'll be 35+, at that age it's hard to get any job in IT at all.

The best data structure to use depends on how you're going to use it.
Some have fast insertion but slow retrieval, others may have slow insert but fast retrieval.
Then again, retrieval speed will be different depending on whether you're doing sequential or random acccess of elements.

Normally you'd use a combination of the two, depending on what is needed.
There is even a school of thought that advocates against the use of http sessions, says that everything should be either passed through the page, through cookies, or persisted in between requests (database for example).
While that's extreme, limiting what's stored in the session can be critical in high load applications as the session does eat up server memory.

jwenting 1,905 duckman Team Colleague

use the name of the property, not the name of the getter.
So use RequestBySchedule, not getRequestBySchedule

and anything that's easy AND popular won't pay much. After all, there's tons of people doing it and it's easy to learn so there's nothing special to it.

What pays well are things that are hard to do yet in demand, as there will be few practitioners at a high level of expertise.
