Just read your history (and not the romanticised stuff you get in your local library) or any scientific text on anthropology.
Most "primitive" tribes now and always have cast out the infirm, mentally or physically.
Not only do those people consume resources without contributing any, but their offspring (were they to produce any) would be liable to be weak as well.

yes, you are legally bound to what you agreed to.
It doesn't matter who clicked that button, by clicking it that account was linked to that contract.
If the contract holder allows others to use that account the contract holder is still the one who holds the contract and has agreed to its terms.
People he lets use that account have no rights under that contract as it's not their contract, if they don't like it they'll have to get legal recourse from the contract holder, not the website operator (who most likely has a clause in that contract stating that you should not let others use the account for that precise reason).

many people still use it. I don't, the paperwork here is far too cumbersome that's required to get and retain a radio operation license (and living in a groundfloor apartment there's nowhere to put up an antenna anyway).

you should have deleted it as this is a request for pirated software which is a clear violation of the TOS as well as an incitement for peope to commit a crime (or help OP commit a crime which in itself is a crime in many places).

1) it's reference, not refference
2) you don't need pointers to work with filesystems
3) JVMs don't have to be written in C++ or C
4) C/C++ doesn't exist

no. Do your own homework.
The Oracle JDBC drivers come with extensive documentation.
And then there's the JDBC tutorial.

And oh, requesting personal help by email in public forums is extremely rude.

no, that too is your job.

but he REALLYYYYYY wants to!!!!!!

Kid, however much you want something impossible, it's not going to happen. Welcome to the real world.

of course the reason you need to do it is to get a decent grade for your homework...

not in JSP, so the question has no place here.
And if you don't know String concatenation you shouldn't be dabbling in either database or web application programming.

no, we're not going to try to make sense of a mess of unformatted code.
And no, we're not going to fix your mistakes for you.
Ask specific questions about specific errors, showing the actual errors, and we may provide you with hints as to their solutions.

use a regular expression to search for any unwanted characters and return an error if any are found.

The practice of eugenics is of all ages, it's only the term that's recent (late 1800s I believe, became a bit of a hobby for people in the 1920s and '30s).
Before that it was not "scientifically" executed, but more on an ad-hoc basis by for example banishing or killing people you didn't like to see as parents rather than sterilising them.

check the JavaDoc, it will enlighten you.

when a class reaches 100 lines of code you should hear alarm bells going off in your head.
It's getting way too large, too complex, and probably has way too many responsibilities.

Not just Dallas. Dutch police are actually given financial targets to meet each year for traffic violations, split by category (speeding, red lights, etc.) as well as targets for impounded vehicles (which are sold for profit by the government), impounded driver's licenses (which mean someone needs to take another driving test, fee to go to the government), etc.

The grand total of all those fines is something like several hundred million Euro per year, a decent sized chunk of the total government budget.
And they still maintain that those fines are only "to promote road safety by making people think twice about violating the law".

evolution may not stop completely, but it does slow down dramatically.
Evolution after all is driven by the need to adapt to changing conditions and when a species becomes able to prevent or alleviate such change it no longer needs to change itself.

And yes, maybe civilisation started when we started taking care of our sick and elderly. But civilisation has nothing to do with evolution and for thousands of years those sick and infirm would not procreate.
In fact for most of human history there has been a strong taboo, and in many cases laws, against such procreation.
It wasn't until after WW2 that forced sterilisation of mentally ill people was abandoned in most countries for example.

do your own input validation. Relying on Exceptions being thrown on bad input is usually not a good idea.

People were as foolish 5 thousand years ago as they are now. My proof that there is no evolution.

Not sure who it was, but I heard the notion years ago that evolution of a species stops when that species starts changing its environment to suit itself.
Then when that species starts caring for its sick, elderly, and infirm and lets them procreate evolution actually starts reversing itself.

We're in that stage now...

Hehe i think he knows that..

Tylenol is not sold in Europe (at least not under that name).

It's no surprise they never found the responsible person(s). It's pretty easy to leave no evidence behind in a crime like this that can be traced back to you.
So as long as you don't start bragging about it or send out ransom notes demanding money (usually) or you're going to continue doing it it's easy to avoid being caught if you're cautious.

nonsense. Either is correct.

In India many companies are still under the impression that having tons of certifications and no experience is better than having experience but no certifications.
In the rest of the world people know better, know that certifications are no guarantee for knowledge.

What you should start doing is evaluate WHY you're not getting responses.
Poor cover letters?
Are you applying for jobs you're not qualified for (be honest!)?
Are you asking too much?

create a servlet that fills some memory structure (most likely a Map) with the data needed to create the rows of the dropdown, and in the JSP use a JSTL <forEach> tag to create the option elements.

There a re so many pretty girls knocking at my door all the time, I would like 24 hours without them.

sadly all of them are Jehovah's witnesses :)

Creationism evolved from people who went to church too much.

which is hardly surprising. Those people created the church which, being created, concluded that creationism is valid.
And that church now teaches creationism to those people, who created that church to be always correct.

yah. It's no different in customer support. Customers flag every single issue as critical, with the inevitable result that we stop looking at that flag and determine ourselves what's important...

no. Java has no pointers as such.
Everything that's not a primitive is a reference.
While these act in some ways similarly to C++ pointers, they're more like C++ references.

Africa used to be a jungle gym. Then it dried up and became a dirt road.
That caused animals to become fast runners rather than good climbers, which is why we now have lions and zebras there rather than sloths and treefrogs :)

it's an over the counter pain killer.

how often do we have to tell you kids to NOT do database access from JSP?

the problem is with your class, it won't compile.
If you say it will compile with the Sun compiler and not the Eclipse compiler that problem is either caused by an error in the Sun compiler (extremely unlikely), an error in the Eclipse compiler (more likely), or an error in the way you've configured Eclipse (most likely of all).

Just providing us with random bits and pieces of other code isn't going to do any good in either case.

happens to the best of us. Luckily never done it to a production site for a customer, but countless times to internal servers.
Doesn't happen when you've applications requiring 1.3, 1.4, and 1.5 that you're responsible for that need to be deployed simultaneously but to different machines.

I don't see the urgency here. Haven't felt the need to use an applet for a decade.

XE supports a single database, which the installer creates.
That's the main limitation of the product, as is very well documented.

If you want more capabilities, you need the full Oracle 10g (or 11g) product, which is available for sale (or for qualifying people for free for test/eval/development purposes).

do your own homework.

uh, no. that's your job, we're not here to do your homework for you.

YUCK, scriptlets.
Use servlets for anything requiring Java code.

read the installation instructions carefully and be sure to understand them before you try anything.
After that do a trial run on some local server on your own machine to make sure it works.

That's all :)

yup. At least 2 ways.
1) generate a bitmap using something like JFreeChart from a servlet that you link to through an image tag.
2) generate it as text using some CSS magic to make it look nice.

see the Sun Java tutorial.

see the documentation for your operating system.

set up a KeyListener to it which refuses to allow anything you don't want.

no, we're not going to help cheaters and PK'ing lowlife thieves.

by using a proper character set.

says it all really... It can't find "COM1" using the Solaris classes (which is hardly surprising). It also can't the Windows classes, which is also hardly surprising if you didn't install them.

no, we're not going to do your homework for you, thread hijacking homework kiddo.

there isn't, and there shouldn't be, as such things are NOT things you do in a JSP.
Javascript maybe, servlets certainly, but not JSP.

says it all, you're trying to cast something to something else that it can't be cast to.

don't use scriptlets, don't put business logic in JSP, don't use Access as a database, use code tags

So because you were lazy and didn't start until 3 weeks before the paper is due, and can't be bothered to do more than a cursory search of the web, you want us to write your paper for you...

Do your own homework, kiddo. If you can't you deserve to fail.
