and that's why we used to install firewalls on our computers to block out such people (and the sysadmins as well).

Is it really that much better than HD DVDs? I mean I look at the displays in the stores and compare the two and there is barely a difference if any.

HD DVD has been abandoned.
But no, BluRay is no better. It just had more money behind it, Sony bought their market position instead of earning it through technical merits.

Look into using GROUP BY

yes, you have a syntax error in your SQL which is why Oracle doesn't understand it.
Most likely it's a missing or superfluous brace somewhere.

don't mix scriptlet and jstl code (which is what you're doing).

you can't use primitives as elements in a Collection.
Nor can you use arrays.

So you use Integer instead of int.

and? What's stopping you?
Laziness maybe, too busy playing games to do your homework?
Too lazy too apparently to read the posting rules...

used DOS 3.1, Windows 3.1, and probably a 3.1 kernel Linux as well.
Might have been some other 3.1 version OSs in there somewhere, I've used quite a list over the years.

me too, DOS 3.1...

most phishers never get caught despite doing a lot more nasty stuff than spanking some kids who want to do look at pr0n on school computers :)

you should have had another category: All the above :)

No, another "I hate fairs/carnivals and will go elsewhere just to avoid them".

He got a LOT of myspace passwords, but then he got scared of the law and stopped doing that before he could get into trouble.

He should have changed all those passwords and reported those kids to their schools giving the accounts and passwords as evidence :)

which indicates the real problem with your code, trying to write Java like it were a procedural language.

not that it'll do you much good...
You're throwing away both the error and output streams :)

Read up on JDBC. Sun has a decent tutorial and I'm sure the JDBC driver for mySQL comes with documentation as well.

the main method in Java is defined as being static, so change your method signature to reflect that.

You might want to learn basic Java syntax before you start messing with network programming.

The Java tutorial (which can be found on Sun's Java site) explains things nicely, or get yourself an introductory text into the language like "Head First Java".

that's been explained many times already.

JSP are meant to be maintained by people with no Java skills and to be solely a display technology. Use tag libraries (especially JSTL and/or JSF) instead, pull all business logic (which includes ALL database logic) to servlets (or even better, into classes and EJBs called from servlets).

IF it's an executable jar, "java -jar <jarfile.jar>" where <jarfile.jar> is the filename of the jarfile (fully qualified if not on the current system path).

If it's not an executable jar, you can't obviously run it.
You can however run a class inside it (if it has a main method) using "java -cp <jarfile.jar> <classname>" where classname is the fully qualified classname of the class to run (so including the full package name).

all looks rather useless to me, except maybe partially rotating windows out of the way when you don't actively need them but would like to monitor them.

May you be blessed by His Noodly Appendage, my son.

fixed gear, on a Mach 2 jet fighter?
Not even the guys who designed that one are that stupid :)

well, it tells you what it thinks the problem is. You don't have a JDK installed and properly configured.

Your tutorial probably assumes an older version of Notbeans, or another IDE altogether.
You'll need to do some thinking of your own rather than mindlessly push buttons.

the API documentation for the Properties class contains everything you need to know.
If that's not enough, you'd best start looking for another career.

there are quite a few Java based forum applications, at least 2 blogging engines, numerous IRC applets, several wiki engines, etc. etc.

What you need is an understanding of the technology as well as what you're writing.

There's nothing special about writing forum software. It's the same as any other web application, if you know what you want.

THAT's why there's no special "writing forum software using Java in 24 hours" kind of book.
If there is for php that just shows the idiocy of the php community.

Named HAL...

Ah, at last I'll be able to take an axe to Google :)

$ apachectl start &

Cookies are easy as well as tasty.
But you shouldn't use Java code in a JSP, so we're not going to help you do that.

I did better. Understanding immediately the writer's intent to make American Christians look like oppressors, terrorists, and other radicals, I selected the Christian for every answer.
that yields 11 correct answers.

hey, you're 58 is actually 59!

It's not even a B-58, it's a B-1B Lancer.

not going to read reams of unformatted code.
The error message tells you pretty much exactly what's the problem anyway, though sometimes it can be misleading and instead indicating at something wrong at an earlier stage like a bad or missing bracket.

And another one. Not as rare as the last few I came up with, but rather regionally challenged so to speak.

tell us what you think is wrong, and we may tell you whether you're right.

SIAI Marchetti SF.260, looks like former Belgian Air Force.

Hibernate comes with very good documentation.

but if you don't know how to use properties files, you're not ready for Hibernate.
I'd say you're not ready for JDBC either.

The Linux fanboyz have been saying that they're going to take over the world and that Linux is a viable alternative for everyday use for everyone for a decade at least.
They've been proven false for all that time, and I'm not going to start believing them.

Same as today's Gartner "report" that states that Windows is dead because noone needs an operating system anymore now that almost everything runs on ""the internet".
Clearly written by someone with a political agenda who hasn't got a clue about how computers work.
I read the same kind of reports a decade ago, stating that Windows would "die" within "a few years" because it had got so "bloated" and that Linux would replace it, a younger and leaner operating system (never mind that a standard Linux install comes with tons of crap you don't need, like 500 text editors, 100 window managers, 10 office suits, 5 web browsers, etc. etc., but no decent user interface and configuration system that can be used by your grandmother who doesn't know technical terms.

I ALWAYS tuck in my shirt, but then I almost always wear dress shirts :)
I sometimes wear company T-shirts, but only ones with subdued colours and logos.
I've had a moustache for the last 20 years, I'm not going to stop now.
My fingernails will get dirty within minutes of me cleaning them even when I do nothing, and no matter how short I clip them (not too short, I need those nails to use the touchscreen on my phone).
What athletic activity?
I don't wear dress shoes, nor do I wear running shoes. So I should not wear white socks nor any other colour (and often comply :) ).

Personally I don't care for such things. I'm usually overdressed compared to the people around me, which should be enough.

What if I fill the gun with 5/6? You still have a 50-50 chance of being shot?

On the first pull of the trigger, there's indeed a 50% chance. There's either a bullet there or there's not. Of course depending on the gun the chance of getting shot might be 100% as some guns have a mechanism that skips empty chambers :)
On the second pull, there's be a 100% chance of being shot if you weren't shot the first time.

JSPs are for presentation purposes only, not processing data.
They're also designed to be able to be maintained by non-programmers, people who don't know Java.
So they get presented with a set of tags (JSTL for example) that looks familiar to them.

and it didn't, bumsfeld.

What they've been doing for the last several years is essentially police work, not military action.

another lazy schoolkid that's too stupid to think for itself and too lazy to use a search engine.
And as usual it originates in India, land of lazy kids who only want a fast track to an H1b or similar so they can steal American and European jobs.

good catch. Thought it was an Alize at first, but there were too many things wrong with it.

request.getParameter works just fine. You shouldn't use it of course as you should NEVER use any Java code on a JSP, but it does work.

sigh...

correct.
#54 is a German T-33.
Bit faded, still looking good.

yes, but that would leave you with a substandard database model.
You'd have to duplicate data in each record, a bad idea.

So you've made a serious error in your datamodel.
Apparently a record in the invoice table does not represent an invoice but a line item.
Redesign your database to match that, with a new invoice table containing only items that are not repeated (like the invoice number), and a lineitem table containing a foreign key into to the invoice table to the invoice number.

not. That's not what JSP are to be used for.

without knowing what you did, there's no telling what you did wrong.
