I believe Henry Ford said, "You can have your car in any color you want, as long as that color is black."

he did, but he isn't family. In our family it's a standing order. My father picks the car, my mother may pick any colour as long as it's blue.

Citroën C3 would do very nicely! Very good milage, sharp look and reliable.

I drive a C4 right now. Second worst car I've ever driven, the worst being a Peugeot 206 (which of course comes out of the same company, Peugeot, Renault, and Citroen are all brands of the same firm).

which any tutorial should tell you, as well as the language documentation.

1) use codetags
2) don't even try network programming until you know the language well.

seems logical, doesn't it?
If token x is not equal to "there", you push token x+1 onto the stack and continue with token x+2 if it exists.

So you check if "and" is equal to "there", push "there" onto the stack, and check if there's another token after "there".

Which will of course cause massive problems, as you may end up trying to push a token that doesn't exist, causing temp.nextElement() to fail with an Exception.

P.S. don't use StringTokenizer, it's deprecated. Use String.split() instead.

A car can be any colour as long as its blue...

Northrop F5. Looks like an A model but could be an E.

staggering number of violation of not only the rules of this specific site but general good manners for ALL internet forums, and all that in OPs first post.

do you know any Java at all?
Those lines are utter nonsense in the light of the language specification.

and your problem (aside from posting about J# in a Java forum rather than a J# forum)?

#31 is not a Fokker.

#36 looks like a two-seater Eurofighter Typhoon during a factory test.

Most FUN car I've ever driven was a 2004 Mustang.
Best overall car I've ever driven was a 1995 (or so) BMW 530i.
Best value for money car I've driven is probably a 2000 Ford Focus TDCi.

Focus is great to drive and relatively cheap to maintain and drive, but lacks the luxury and performance of a highend BMW.

If there's no field to enter it in the DSN properties dialog, there isn't. If there is, there is.

not. That's not a job for a JSP, it's a job for a servlet.

you need to write a language parser that handles that translation for you.
It can be done, but if you didn't know that you needed to do it it's highly doubtful you have the skills to pull it off.

The exact "tools" you learn in school are utterly irrelevant for getting a job as a programmer.

A green as grass junior grasshopper programmer like you'll be is expected to know exactly NOTHING of value when starting his first job, except knowing how to keep his mouth shut and do as its (you're not a human being yet) told while keeping its ears open to soak up whatever it's being taught by its masters.

And do not expect to land that "game programmer" job right out of school. That's an advanced field.
At most you'll land a job doing other things at a game development shop and work your way up.
Also remember that the vast majority of "game programmers" suffer from extreme burnout and mental problems within a few years, at 35 most are either raving mad and incapable of any work or have left the business for other jobs.
Some even end up dead from being severely overworked, 20+ hour workdays are the norm in many game shops especially near release deadlines.

No hashing algorithm will guarantee you that there won't be colissions.
All you can do to reduce the occurrance of colissions is to either increase the length of the hash key (and the length of the hash itself) and/or increase the amount of data used to calculate the hash.

Of course either will dramatically increase the amount of time needed to calculate the hash, which may or may not be acceptable.

So the question becomes: how unique do you want your hash to be and why?

and no, #31 is not a US design. It is in fact a Dutch design.

RNthAF F-16A Block 10 MLU, serial number J-055, No 313 squadron, Volkel AB, the Netherlands.
Pilot is Captain Ralph Aarts, RNthAF.

Sorry, don't have the construction number at hand (but I can probably look it up for you).

I'd say that was pretty accurate, except maybe the unhappy part (though he may be unhappy because of his ban) ;)

And what's wrong with photography? 4 cameras too much for you (and an option on a 5th)? ;)

I could, but I won't as that's off topic here and anyway I've more urgent things to do.

See the JDBC tutorial track of the Java tutorial.
When you master that, look at things like JPA and Hibernate as nicer ways to abstract away the raw database access code.

nice isn't it.
You'd need a mailclient which never bounces anything and deliberately accepts all bounced messages.
How to detect whether a message is a bounce message is up to you.

maybe, but that doesn't resize anything on the visible frame, which is what's usually meant by such questions :)
It's also unreliable, depends on what component you're working with and how it's placed.

Essentially, one should not depend on hardwiring component sizes.

And indeed, wrap that JTextArea with a JScrollPane.

and I'm still missing an answer for #31 :)

it's French, that's as far as my knowledge of French WW1 aircraft goes :)

which may or may not tell you anything whatsoever.
A compiler may or may not put any specific strings in there, and those strings may or may not uniquely identify that compiler.

in fact the setSize method usually has no effect whatsoever as the frame will automatically resize itself according to the sizes of the components it contains.

I believe there's a library somewhere on the net that allows serial port communications in Java from some specific operating systems.
You'd need that plus the documentation from your phone manufacturer on how to actually talk to it over that port).

issa bad language. Jar Jar Binks issa no understand question.

what's actually generated as code and sent to the browser?
Almost certainly the paths shown there are utterly incorrect and have no relation whatsoever to the paths of the images relative to the deployroot of the web application.

1) it's NOT urgent.
2) you don't use JSP to do that.

I wonder why the kid is using println statements for his html tags in a JSP...
He shouldn't of course be using ANY Java code at all, but this is the most extremely silly JSP code I've ever encountered (and I've encountered reams of it over the last decade).

hmm, most of those "tutorials" are either utterly and totally wrong or hopelessly outdated, "teaching" the JSP 0.9 coding style which has been out of favour with every serious code for the better part of a decade.

Best to get either Head First Servlets and JSP or Hans Bergsten's JSP book (in the latest edition of course), both published by O'Reilly.

electronics, either product development or maintenance. There's far more job security in there than there is in IT, what with the massive offshoring to eastern Europe, South Africa, and Asia.

and Planet Of the Apes. And Battlestar Galactica.

yup, it's quite possible.
The manual tells you how.

why should we help a thread hijacker who resurrects age old threads rather than starting its own?

just fine, thanks for asking :)

But you should have gotten the idea by now that we're NOT your homework service.
Ask your teacher for help, ask your classmates, do your own research, do NOT expect us to do it for you.

yup, I've worked on such a product.
And no, I'm not going to give it away to anyone.

Not only would it be a violation of my contract with the firm I worked for at the time but it would be unethical to help homework kiddos like you with anything whatsoever.

he probably spends all his time in class browsing pr0n sites and listening to pirated music.

MAYBE BY SHOUTING EVEN LOUDER THAN YOU ARE ALREADY DOING YOU MIGHT GET PEOPLE TO TAKE YOU SERIOUS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

NOT!

NO, you do NOT use Excel as a database.
That's already been established firmly.
Excel is NOT a database.

Just because you can create ODBC DSNs to Excel files doesn't mean you should use those DSNs as database aliasses.

What errors are you getting and what don't you understand about them?
It's vitally important that you learn to understand and interpret error messages.
As long as you can't, you'll never be able to successfully complete a piece of software in any language or using any tool.

I think there are some usernames and passwords for Oracle Database configured for first use like username: scott password: tiger and so on, to connect easily like SQL Server to Oracle from VS you need ODP (Oracle Data Provider) libraries on www.oracle.com

No, that account is disabled by default for security reasons.
In fact ALL accounts except the system account(s) are disabled by default.

http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/dotnet/index.html will provide you with the tools you need as well as tutorials for using .NET technology with Oracle.

You will of course need an OTN account to access most of it.

YUGH.
Do NOT do any of that in JSP.

Kid probably thinks that if it only asks often enough that it'll get an answer it likes instead of constant repeats of the standard: don't use JSP for that.

And what does internet explorer have to do with any of this?

Excel is no database.
Using JDBC to access Excel is BAD.
Using JDBC from JSP is BAD.

So it seems like you'd best completely scrap whatever you have already and start from scratch with some research into proper application architecture.

no to all 3, jbennet.
It is indeed a 1920s design, and one that saw limited service in world war 2 in a role it wasn't originally designed for.
