maybe you should search for that information yourself? We're not your librarians...

It's tricky. I moderate one photography related website, and as mods we have guidelines as to what's allowed and not.
I assume youtube and similar sites have teams like that as well.
Of course something can slip through the cracks, but we can assume that anything blatantly illegal like this is going to go viral (nastiness always does), which could be a good trigger for auto-forwarding it to moderation.

Anyone releasing anything under the name "wow engine" would quickly feel the strong arm of Blizzard's lawyers.

by doing your own homework and research. This question has been asked and answered a million times before.
Only the exceptionally lazy and exceptionally incompetent will be unable to by now find the answer, and they don't deserve the answer.

You should have paid attention in class and done your homework.
If you had, you'd have known what to do.

and the government chooses slow and expensive, and still doesn't get "good" :)

It did. It included a very clear description of what's required.
The kid's classroom instruction and course documentation will contain everything else it needs except a mind.
IOW what we have here is just another lazy homework kiddo.

Average is simple: refer to your math textbook :) SUM(grades)/NUM(grades) = AVG

The content involved was illegal under Italian law, so they were convicted of distributing illegal material.
Same way a person hosting a website that distributes child porn can and should be held criminally liable for that.

Whether in this case the content should have been illegal is another question, not whether the persons responsible for its distribution should be held responsible for that distribution.

by learning some SQL.

Do your own homework, kid.
I've once written a system like that, but a lot more elaborate, in less than 2 weeks when I'd never used JSP before.
Of course I did have a 4 person team behind me to help with things like database design, analysis, etc. :)

It's easy, but it's your homework and you're the one who should do it else how are you ever going to learn anything?
Now get that lazy butt of the couch and get designing and coding.

My name is Who is General Failure, and why is he trying to read my hard disk?

Hi
i want to know internet download managers ( applications to manage downloads from internet such as IDM or aria2 , ...) how to works ???

Most of them don't work.

how can this applications increase download speed ???
how they able resume downloads ??? and ...
thanks

They can't "increase download speed".
At most they can download blocks of data simultaneously using multiple connections, but only if the server supports that.
And that explains how they can resume downloads too.
Store the blocks you already have, and on resume just download the rest.
BUT that only works if the server supports it, and many don't.
In fact a lot of servers will block you completely if you attempt to do it as your actions would consume too many resources, slowing down the connection of everyone else.

I've never heard of a high school kid having a "new and original idea" though for its "final year project". Most just regurgitate something stolen from the internet, change the names in the documentation to their own, and submit it as "original work" it seems.

Use google?

It's probably still broken...

dirty little thread hijacker: we're not here to do your homework for you, and it is certainly NOT urgent.
If you have a headache frequently, go see a doctor.

check out JPA

yes, it is possible.

It's no doubt intended as a protest against the slew of semi-random bans and prohibitions people are faced with every day.
Freedoms are being eroded in the name of "security" and "health and safety regulations", and at long last (though it may be too late, the agencies involved may have grown too large and powerful to stop) people are starting to take notice.

Did you know that in the UK it's now mandatory for workers putting up traffic signs to have a license to use a stepladder for reaching up the extra 3ft or so needed to fix the bolts?
Someone decided that special training and an exam are needed to ensure people won't fall off a 2ft high stepladder and hurt themselves, that this was such a serious problem that their use should be banned for those not having that training.

Humanity (at least in many parts of Europe and north America) has now grown so risk-averse we're completely stupified and can no longer do much of anything.
People wonder why NASA has failed to produce another manned moon mission or a Space Shuttle replacement for 20 years now, and that's the reason.
Apollo/Saturn were simple and worked. But that came at a cost of there being a very real risk of accidents and mishaps that could cause people to get uncomfortable, injured, or killed. In the 1960s and early 70s that was accepted as a consequence of doing space exploration. Now everyone …

the moment you tell people your worst secret it's by definition no longer a secret...

Oracle is used by intelligent people

<<=== points at shift key

Or put a timestamp in the http session at the time the page is sent to the client, and check whether the time between that and receiving the submitted answer from the client is within limits.

The problem is that you just list a few buzzwords yet don't seem to even know what they mean and haven't apparently gone to the trouble of figuring out what they mean.
That shows a lack of interest in doing your own work, which leads to us being disinclined to help you.

Yes, IT jobs are one of the fastest growing and have been for many years.

IT is also one of the most sensitive areas when it comes to economic growth and decline.
IT projects (and especially investment rather than maintenance) is usually the first thing that gets axed when companies have to tighten their budgets to make ends meet.
Working in a medium sized consultancy business I saw that first hand last year, as our employment rate (percentage of people on a job for a customer) plumetted from 90%+ to under 70% for a while.
It's slowly going up again, but at the cost of reduced prices and a marked increase in effort on the part of our sales team (it's gotten far harder to get contracts, and the contracts we do get are usually smaller and pay less than those we'd have gotten say 2 years ago).
From elsewhere in the industry I see similar figures.

Okay I found it :) ... Now I'm wondering if my college's degree would actually mean something or not in the employment realm.

In general experience and motivation mean more than any specific degree.
Most people in software engineering have degrees, but most of those degrees have nothing to do with software engineering.
We're physicists, chemists, biologists, mathematicians, economists even.

So is there a place for me to be able to check where my colleges ranking is or what?

Possibly. Some countries have government agencies trying to do such "rankings" based on things like graduation scores and chances of graduates ending up unemployed after graduation.
Hardly conclusive of course.
Any privately run website claiming to do such a thing I'd mistrust automatically.
They're either a marketing scam by one or more of the most highly ranked (according to them) colleges or are scared to give anyone a low ranking because that might get them sued for libel.
Any site claiming to be a "community run" ranking where anyone can say what they think of something is similarly unreliable as such sites tend to attract only those who have either very strong negative or positive opinions and thus give an extremely crooked score.

Edit: I just read over an old post from 2003 about someone wondering if they should major in CS or CE/or the likes. and he said one reason why he was thinking about not getting into it is because not many …

Acer netbooks are quite nice :)

grab some books. We're not here to do your homework for you.

you can in Acrobat, not in Acrobar reader.

and of course you need the correct language version of each, as a license for say a UK version is invalid for a US version or a German version, an Australian version, etc. etc.

Every class extends another class, except Object...

More precisely, scholars now think the myth originated with the island of Santorini which was a thriving community.
It had a circular harbour (hint, hint...) surrounded on all sides by land with a channel to get into it.
That harbour of course turned out to be the crater of a sleeping volcano which blew up and destroyed half the island (and the entire city), the resulting tsunami destroying most of the Minoan culture on Crete.
Crete apparently turned to ancient Egypt for help rebuilding, where Solon saw documents about the catastrophe and the prior trade between Egypt and the fabulously wealthy Minoan people.

Stupid idea, and wrong on some many counts I don't even know where to start.

1) you're creating one potential mess of a security breach by writing cleartext passwords to an open directory on a harddisk
2) you're assuming the temp dir isn't cleared regularly. This is a bad assumption
3) you're assuming you're even allowed to write to that location from your servlet. That too is a bad assumption
4) you're assuming temp files are retained on application shutdown. That too is a bad assumption
5) that should be enough for now. Your entire idea is completely and utterly flawed, start from scratch.

You must learn to understand what you're actually seeing as you are utterly WRONG about what is happening.

Those pictures and other things are each loaded as a separate http request, so it's not strange at all they're not showing up in your listing of headers.
In fact you are misinterpreting multiple http responses as being multiple headers in a single http response.

I'm pretty sure Blizzard Entertainment have such material available for new employees with a need to know, but almost certainly under a strict NDA.
So all you have to do is apply to them for a job as a programmer and get hired.
Of course the latter will probably require you to put in several years of effort to actually learn to program and to do a bit of independent research and thinking.

change to a sports major and forget about programming.
It's obviously totally uninteresting (at least if you think you have your priorities right in going to a sports thingie instead of going to school).

no, we're not going to do that.
MAYBE if you asked nicely and showed you'd at least tried to do it yourself we'd help, but we're not your slaves to order around like that.

or simply RTFM. Instead of the fat clients Oracle 10g uses a thin client web interface with pretty similar functionality to the 9i fat client.

SQL Plus is still available and the preferred way of accessing the database though. Maybe you should learn to use SQL?

There is an important philosophical difference, and one that most people don't realise.
Those same people don't realise that GET and POST are actually not all the possible http request methods, there are several others!

GET is intended for requesting data from the webserver.
POST is intended for submitting data TO the server to do something with.
Of course to request information requires sending information, and submitting information usually leads to the returning of more information as a result, blurring the distinction to an extent.

In general, using POST in combination with request forwarding (rather than redirection) causes cleaner URLs and shorter browser history when using html forms.
Some people also use it as an (ill conceived) security system as the request parameters aren't shown in the URL and thus they (incorrectly) think users can't see such things as cleartext passwords sent in the request.

You can't. At best you can analyse the http headers coming in and try to draw some conclusions based on those but it's not reliable nor usually conclusive.

There's no need to know anyway, unless you're planning to release platform specific malware which you can't expect us to help you with.

Microsoft support are some of the best in the business, especially when it comes to issueing replacement disk sets and other essentials to customers.
I've never had them NOT come through in fact, the only time they couldn't help me was when my Outlook database was corrupt beyond repair, but even then they at least tried (and at no cost too, despite me not having a paid support contract with them).

no need to bring back old threads from the dead, kids.

i don't know what LAN/WAN is.

turn off your network card.

Microsoft is simply not the behemoth world dominating company it's being portrayed as being by its enemies.
It's a company that's strong (very strong even) in some markets, a big but not dominant player in others, and a small contender in others again.

Its operating systems and office software are effectively the world standard.
Its game and hardware divisions are strong players but nowhere near market leaders (let alone defining the landscape).
Its search engine and some other products are small in comparison to major competitors.
If they want to grow those branches, I wish them success. I've no love for Google, think they're too dominant and have some very shady business practices (especially when it comes to privacy and data security as well as their censorship of things the owners don't like known through their blogging and search engine systems among others) and would love to see a strong competitor in that market especially (I exclusively use other services but Google as is).

too lazy to use capitals, code tags, and proper English?
No can do on helping you.

The replies have been helpful. I have a general idea of what to buy. What major factors do you need to look at when buying a car? I know that cost and mileage should be taken into consideration.

- service history. If it's been regularly maintained by a dealership (or other qualified garage) it should be relatively trouble free as they won't sign off on it otherwise
- rust. Search the internet for information what to look for. Most makes and models have specific places where rust forms more easily on them than others
- tyres. Are they worn down evenly or not? If not it could be a sign that the car is out of balance, maybe even crooked because of an earlier crash.
- accident history. DMV may have that information as well as knowing if it's "hot" for being used in crime

Is Honda and Toyota very reliable? I have talked to a few people who suggested that I get a Honda Accord/Civic, Toyota Corolla or Camry about a '94 or '95. I thought that you want to have a car made within the last 5 years for the reason it is easy to get parts.

Generally reliable. Of course all brands have some bad apples at times.

I'm wondering if $500 or $600 is too unrealistic of a budget. It would be possible to get a car for that amount, but would want it to run longer than a week. I …

Who the hell asks these kind of homework questions...?

mostly lazy schoolkids who'd rather spend their time playing videogames than getting an education but don't want bad grades because their parents might take their videogames away if they do.

There have been dozens of places where people said Atlantis (or some other sunken continent by some other name depending on their local mythology) would exist.

The idea of an island or continent of extreme riches that was destroyed by the Gods and sank into the sea exists in almost every seafaring culture in some form.

The Atlantic being large and for a long time impossible to navigate for shipping caused a lot of those myths to place it in there, but it's also been spotted in the Mediterranean sea, Pacific and Indian oceans, etc. etc. etc.

So far ALL those myths have turned out to be just that, myths.
EVERY SINGLE place people have looked for it and found what they initially thought were remnants turned out to be natural features on the ocean floor if not optical illusions or ruins of a well known civilisation.

You can't.
PDF is inherently read-only (apart from pdf forms, where users can fill in the form fields and their content can be edited by them later).

There is no "best", nor can there be.
Not only don't you supply any criteria to use in defining "best" that can be scientifically measured, you don't know all games out there so can't even apply those criteria to every game in existence in order to see how well it matches them.
