Got 2 systems running Vista, no problems with either (except a shoddy soundcard in one of them, but that's a hardware problem, loose connector somewhere).

of course the building is the smallest cost item...
Fitting out, crew, crew training, business licenses, advertising, etc. etc. etc.

they shouldn't, but that doesn't mean they don't...
It all depends on how the website was programmed.

nope. Discoverer reports are the same for everyone who has access to them.

Cobol will give you a stable career you can stick around in without learning anything else until you retire.

your teacher can teach just fine. But you're too stupid or lazy to learn.

It was actually the Russians in South Osetia who did the landgrab and decided that the province is now part of Russia, never asking the majority of the population who are Georgians and want to remain part of Georgia.
Those Russians are there because Stalin put them there for precisely that purpose, to control the locals.

biometric locks require no keys :)

lord have mercy:?:

I may :D

if you like being naive than thats good bait for you.as for reality....the earth is round

like I said. It's round, like a pancake :P

that's what those sailors thought too ;)

so, added the only appropriate answer to that one :)

do your own research.
Either you're too stupid to understand the information you find (in which case you should fail the assignment) or you're too lazy (in which case you should fail as well).

and no, we're not going to do your homework for you.

All of these can be programmed.

ACCURATE weather forecasting can't be.
There are chaotic forces at work, the effect of which can't be predicted accurately.

Can you think of a more idiotic question to ask?

you just asked one of them...

:) funny

--------
If the earth is flat then show me where's the edge of the world,sounds like a suicidal point.:)

Why do you think ships look like they're sailing off the edge of the world?

abuse reported.

accurate weather forecasting.

and where is the worm going to come out?
Just so I can avoid that spot :)

It can be relatively easily shown (and has been, repeatedly) that the effect of CO2 on the surface temperature of the planet is miniscule, as well as that in the past temperatures were a lot higher with lower CO2 levels and at other times far lower with higher CO2 levels.

Like the entire "the earth is heating up" farce, so the "it's all because of human released CO2" claim is a farce.

The earth at the moment (and for the last decade) has been getting slowly colder, despite rising atmospheric CO2.
And that atmospheric CO2 is rising far slower than the rise in output from human activity, indicating that there are potent natural processes at work to counteract an increase in atmospheric CO2.
That process is of course increased plant growth. In a high CO2 environment, plants grow more lushly and quickly, trapping CO2 in their tissue.
And that's very good news for a planet where there are ever more mouths to feed, as those plants can help feed those people with increased yield from farms. It's not for nothing that operators of greenhouses pump CO2 into their buildings. This is not to increase the temperature (heaters are very good at that, as are glass roofs) but to act as fertiliser to the plants. And it works.

We do NOT KNOW that CO2 plays any role whatsoever.
The ONLY data that show any relation at all clearly shows that CO2 concentrations lag behind temperature changes, they never ever lead.

The only thing we do KNOW is that longterm temperature fluctuations are related to cycles in solar activity, something conveniently ignored by the alarmists because it clearly shows there's precious little we can do to influence temperature.

you never add the menubar to the window...

what is a brain?
what is a search engine?

The alarmists all rely on the same few computer models.
Computer models that have been shown conclusively to yield catastrophic warming no matter what the input data is (in other words, they've been deliberately programmed to show that specific output).
Computer models that can't predict historical weather even if given the exact weather conditions for the time they are told to yield output.

Alarmists also tell deliberate lies, on the presumption that that's what is needed to get people to give in to their demands of economic suicide and human extinction (which is what their ideology would inevitably lead to).

They're a religious movement, their ideology based on how evil humans are and that they need to be punished for the sin of simply living.
Of course by paying massive amounts of money to the priests in the form of "carbon credits" you can buy salvation.

Sounds pretty much like medieval priests travelling the land selling pieces of paper to people telling them their sins had been forgiven by God.

Who knows. I find it highly unlikely that there are catalysts that can induce nuclear fusion at room temperature.

yes, he just said a circle isn't round.

A pancake isn't round, at least the ones I make aren't. circular-shaped isn't round.

It is round, just not in more than 2 dimensions :)

And some more:

What the green fraudsters do is give you winter ice data from one year, and summer data from the next.
They'll use that as "proof" that the pole is melting, when of course it's warmer there in summer than it is in winter and thus in summer there's less ice than there is in winter.

In reality the ice coverage is pretty constant when taking yearly averages.

and what does this have to do with JSP?
Or haven't you gotten the hint yet that you should never use Java code in JSP?
And the message that you should never put binary content in a JSP outputstream?

and then there's the use of the JDBC/ODBC bridge driver which is also a recipe for disaster.
And the bad "Title" tag in the html (browsers won't generally complain, but it's not correct).

yes, you're doing something wrong. If you weren't, it would work :)

you can't reference anything from main that's not static (and no, you should not make everything static to get around that).

or buy the books from a specialised bookstore. They're copyrighted material, noone is going to make copies of them for you as that would be a crime.

The following will give you information on all tables:

select * from sys.ALL_ALL_TABLES;

Many of those of course will be system tables, not application tables.
And depending on the user you are, you may not be able to execute the query (you may not have the privileges) and may not be able to access all tables you get returned.

most idiots use the former for the task of writing some html and javascript, the latter for hacking some php together.

In reality development is far broader than programming and involves design and testing as well as programming.

like I said, it's not solved. It's masked.

Sorry, but I heard its egg shapped.

[/edit]But these Nasa pictures clear show a round Earth.[/edit]

According to Sir Bedevere the earth is actually banana shaped.
those NASA pictures are fabrications, designed to hide the Truth.

Deuterium is hydrogen with an extra neutron pulled into the core.
It will have its single electron in atomic form, else it'd be a deuterium ion :)

Both fission and fusion can release energy. It all depends on the energy states of the isotopes involved.
In theory fission of light atoms could provide energy, but the states under which fission happens in light atoms are high in relation to the amount of energy released because light atoms are generally more stable than heavy ones.
But do remember that normal decay of even lightweight isotopes releases energy. Problem is that this energy is in forms not readily converted into electricity.
What you want is for that decay to release relatively slow particles and a lot of low energy gamma rays. Decay is of course not fission, but there are some similarities (both involve the release of energy and particles to affect a change in energy state of the atom, leaving another atom in its place).
Those can be used to heat water to steam, which in turn can power a turbine.
If you get small amounts of high energy gamma rays, they just shoot out of your containment vessel with little loss of energy, causing a severe hazard to the surrounding area.

That's why for example lab sources of Cobalt 60 need massive amounts of shielding for even small samples.
I did some experiments requiring the use of a Cobalt 60 radiation …

use a search engine to find out about the required APIs and tools, study their documentation, and away you go.

yes, using getResource or better yet getResourceAsStream is the way to extract resources from a jarfile.
Make sure that those resources are contained in the jarfile as part of the classpath or you'll get an error indicating that the resource doesn't exist.
That means that during compilation (and jarring) the files need to be copied so they exist next to the classfiles for the application.

We're all going to be fitted with satnav tracking chips pretty soon so law enforcement can always know where everyone is.
Officially it will be "for our own good" so they can find us if we're kidnapped or otherwise in trouble.
In reality of course it will be so they can easily find dissenters and groups of malcontents.

the earth is round, just like a pancake.

the main prophet for profit is the current prophet of Doom: Al Gore.
There's also a messiah for profit: Obama.

The garbage collector is very smart. There's hardly ever a need to use the provided commands to SUGGEST it runs.
If you think you need to, you almost certainly have an error somewhere in your code causing excessive memory use that prevents garbage collection by holding on to objects unnecessarilly.

and crossposting too... This isn't the only thread this idiot hijacked with his "zent mi zuh koduz"...

We have a different name for generation Y, and it's not a very nice (though a very descriptive) one...

@jwentig

>And it's been going to the poles, where both the arctic and Antarctic icepacks are growing rapidly.

i sincerely hope you are being sarcastic. because the alternative.... well lets just say that i have made a decision to show people more respect so if you were being serious i will have to ignore that remark .

I'm not sarcastic. What I am is better informed than you (and everyone else who gets their data only from Greenpeace and Al Gore).
