that's not a "debugging problem", it's a "failure to learn the language syntax problem".

You don't use access modifiers inside methods.

It is. I don't use it much because PL/SQL developer is so much better.
But if I had to pay the several thousand dollar license myself (company pays it) I'd not use it either :)

I don't think the Dutch were ever in Vietnam.

we weren't.
Indonesia, New Guinea, Korea, Iraq, Afghanistan.
And UN peacekeeping missions in (among other places) the Lebanon, Sinai, Cambodia, Bosnia, and Kosovo.

I never said all were druggies.
All I said was that those who went there as druggies usually came back worse.

If I'd not been rejected for military service I'd likely be in the military now, though probably not in a warzone (by now I'd be too senior to be sent into battle, instead being confined to a headquarters' job).

Can't help it that I was born too late for Korea, too early for Afghanistan (we were never in Vietnam).

you're still doing it, fool.
No capitalisation, completely wrong punctuation, terrible grammar and syntax.

It's so bad one can only assume it's deliberate, even the worst automatic translator can do better.

If you were really a teacher as you claim and not some schoolkid you'd be ashamed of yourself if your skills were so poor and stay far away from any place where you'd have to use English.
You'd also suggest to your boss to fire you on the spot because you're incapable of teaching for lack of communications skills.

I don't know about that.... The first real language I learned was C++ and it was from a "for dummies" book.

in that case you didn't learn it properly. You learned a few tricks maybe, but nothing in depth and no proper introduction in the philosophy behind the language, paradigms, etc. etc.

Syntax is easy to learn, but it's not programming.

As an Systems Engineer, I often download software from either the publisher or a retailer. The rest is purchased off the shelf. There is such a thing as legitimate downloading. You pay and then download. In this case, I need a link to a retailer who sells Maya 4 or contact info for a person who has an old retail version for sale. The publisher no longer sells the software.

So do I. But I also know that when the manufacturer no longer sells/supports it there's NO legal way to download it legally.
As you claim to know that it's no longer for sale yet you want to know where to download it one can only assume you want a pirated version.

Contact the manufacturer. They may be able to help you out or know a legal channel that can.
Any shady site selling you anything now (and that includes eBay) is almost certainly selling pirated goods.

All that stuff didn't even exist when I was graduating :)
We had to make do with nuclear reactors and particle accellerators ;)

Stop using Java code in JSP.

nor through thread hijacking...

not urgent. And not our job anyway.

Don't call the sequence in the insert statement.
Instead use

insert into my_test (name) values ('Voila!');

The trigger will call the sequence, and fill in the ID.

You should best change the name of that column though. Best practice is to never use things that could be reserved words in some programming language (and especially SQL).

probably not. Why do you call him a farce though? :)

I know, AD. My grandfather fought in WW2 and later against the Indonesian rebels in New Guinea.
And the services available for those who need mental care after returning home are pretty much non-existent.

But IMO NOTHING justifies drugs, and the majority of the drug cases in Vietnam were druggies before they went over. They just replaced pot with easy to get opium and heroine when over there.

who can blame them though

can't blame those docs for having to do their work on dopeheads, I agree.

ssssh. Your not supposed to tell them that

I want recruiters to know that, so they only look at serious candidates.
That way the HR department can get smaller, decreasing overhead and increasing profitability (which is good for my bonus) :)

as if Wikipedia needs such help :)

Not urgent. Ask again nicely in a few years and we may have time to help you.

not urgent. Move along.

Create a JTable, create a custom TableModel for it, and have a Timer or whatever refresh that at regular intervals.

and oh, SQL Developer 1.5 now has integrated support for CVS and Subversion.
Was released yesterday :)
Available now from OTN.

seems to be a trend with the express editions. Microsoft SQL Server Express doesnt include a GUi either. you must use visual studio or "SQL Management Studio Express"

Nope. The kid just couldn't find the user interface, it's there.
Oracle has moved to web based administration for its products.
The user interface is the same for the XE and regular editions (except of course that the XE edition has less functionality).

Of course it increases your sequence twice.
After all, you call it twice...

and that's after you stop trying to place business logic in JSPs.

says it all, the file isn't there.
Place the correct file in the correct place and try again.

Microsoft LS4000.
Ergonomic, essential for preventing RSI with long term use.
Firm action, good tactile feedback.
Well built, built to last.
Rather heavy and large, so stable on your desk.

if you have a smartphone for which you can get a version of Skype, you should be able to make a videocall to a computer running Skype.

Unlikely James. Those who came back from Vietnam with half a skull missing usually also had half their brain missing due to heroine and pot use, so there was no need for the missing half to put the rest back in ;)

Or monster.com

All you're going to get here are a few homework kiddos who are too lazy to even do basic programming assignments at school let alone to work a fulltime job.

haven't changed it in years...

either that or the server process is bound to the local network address and therefore trying to call the process through its external address isn't going to get a response.

Legal copies can't be downloaded, so you can't be looking for a legal copy...

>> in fact i teach some languages
Your writing style, or rather lack of writing even one compresensible sentence, suggests otherwise. Unless of course your native language is not English.

Even if his native language isn't English his English is too abysmal to be a teacher who teaches programming classes.
It clearly shows he's incapable of expressing himself properly in a language that's not his birth language (even worth if that's English), which makes it pretty much impossible for him to express himself properly in a programming language.
And that's not even taking into account that all decent documentation to programming languages and profession is written in English.

Of course we've never seen homework kiddos claiming to be teachers looking for assigments to give to their pupils either, this looks to be just another twist on that scenario.

you don't need an IDE to work with version control systems...
And JDeveloper just isn't fit to work with pl/sql packages.
If you want both, get IntelliJ and install the Oracle SQL plugin.

no, we can't.
That too is YOUR responsibillity, not ours.
It's YOUR task to show to your examination committee that you're capable of doing the job, not that you're capable of tricking others into doing your job for you.

from the manufacturer website you can no doubt purchase Maya.
If Maya 4 no longer is sold, the manufacturer of that editor plugin will have made a version for a current version of Maya.
We're not going to help you to pirated software.

no, JDeveloper is NOT the proper tool for developing pl/sql.
SQL Developer is the right tool, it's designed for working with SQL rather than Java.

Both are development tools, not administration tools.
So neither will let you schedule jobs, schedule backups, etc.
Use the web interface for that.

What you can do from pl/sql developer is save the scripts to recreate tables, packages, etc.
The Oracle XE information (accessible from the web interface) includes instructions on scheduling backups.

says it all.
A 54KB JSP is WAY too large.

ANY method in Java can contain at most 64KB of code. Your entire 54KB JSP ends up as part of a single method, expanded into Java code.
That's going to be one massive method, most likely several hundred KB of code.

If it works on WL, WL's JSP compiler does not conform to the language standard.

Split the thing up, organise it properly, start learning to use dynamic includes.

RTFM. The JDK documentation is quite extensive, and includes a good manual for the jar tool.

But what the heck does this have to do with JSP?

like I said, the best way to learn Oracle is to get professional training.
Good books are a substitute if you are working with Oracle as part of a team of experienced professionals who can answer your questions.
And no, we're not here to hold your hand night and day.

Oracle 10 has a web based administration tool.
And there's sqlplus as well.

Or indeed get an external tool. PL/SQL Developer is very good and reasonably priced. Oracle has its own tool that's free of charge as well, available from OTN.
TOAD is overpriced IMO.

Marco Polo may have seen it, but he wouldn't have gotten instructions on how to make it.

yeah, that's what the homework kiddos always say when they try this trick.
If you really had such an "assignment" and you really wanted to do your work you'd also go out and look for your own "project" to "analyse" instead of begging for code.

Halo 2 was released for Vista only (and XBox 360 of course).
I've heard some people got it to work on XP, but never tried to find out how. Couldn't care less about the entire genre of first person shooters, but I'm sure you could find out how if you put in some effort.

Halo 3 isn't available for PC AFAIK :)

The Chinese and Europeans both invented gunpowder independently.
The Chinese did it first, the Europeans didn't know about the Chinese when they discovered it on their own.

he never learns, does he?

and another lazy kid who can't think for itself asks the exact question a thousand other lazy kids have asked before just in the last few months.

No kiddo, we're not going to do your thinking for you. Show some initiative, show that you can think for yourself and do your own research.
That's why you need to come up with your own project idea. Asking us to do your thinking for you is asking us to help you cheat on your homework, something we're NOT going to do.

operating system design is a specialist discipline that's taught in advanced university courses.
Search Amazon for books about it, you're not going to shake an entire operating system out of your baseball cap in a few days, weeks, or even months.

And don't think a PDA is "simple", it's not.

I wouldn't know, I've not met her yet :)

yup. SL seems to be all but dead after the massive hype last year when suddenly everyone scrambled over themselves to sign up and sign over their bank accounts.

Rather surprised they still exist, hadn't heard about them in months and assumed they'd gone the way of a million other .coms.
Or maybe they have, but the hosting provider has a paid for contract still going :)
