Correct. Unless the contract includes a maintenance SLA there's no reason for the original creators to "fix" anything unless a new contract is made up for that, including payment for the effort.
If the software was signed off on by the customer, he agreed that it works according to the specs agreed upon in the original contract.
If it doesn't that's the customer's responsibility for not performing his acceptance tests properly.

Look at the post count for the kid. He posted his one message and never has been back.
That tells us several things:
He doesn't monitor these forums at all.
He's not serious about his effort.
He's just a kid with fluffy ideas and no sense of reality.

Start using proper identifier naming conventions, as published by Sun.

Bit late don't you think, 17 months after the last message?

Learn to read and interpret error messages, and learn how to fix them.
We're NOT here to do all your work for you, not now and certainly not forever.

The MiG I showed is in fact a MiG-29, vegaseat. It's listed as such in the airshow program by the design bureau and was announced as such as well :)

The current image shows the Berkut, an experimental FSW fighter based loosely on the Flanker. Never entered series production.

jbennet is showing a Vulcan.

MiG-29. I'd have to look up some data to find out the exact submodel used by the Luftwaffe, but I believe it's the A.

And no, that's not a difficult one at all.

Everyone knows the giraffe was created by Ford Prefect after he got bored during a trip to Africa during the stone age :)

well, that form tag you posted won't do as it's seriously malformed...

or use POI, the acknowledged world leader for outputting to and reading from Microsoft Office document formats.

yup, a kiddo who just combined some random buzzwords and calls it a resume.

well, if it's not found some source code to plagiarise yet it'll have failed its assignment by now and good riddance.

won't work, chicken and egg scenario. He needs the JRE to get into the jar and he needs the jar to get the JRE.

No, he needs to install a JRE on the target systems (or state in his system requirements that one be installed, far easier).

Israeli army never went into Iraq

The world still owes you bigtime for teaching Saddam and France a lesson by taking out their Osirak reactor :)
Not that the world will ever thank you for it, but such is the world.

lots of examples in the Sun JDBC tutorial.

Sure, just install a JRE instead.
If you don't want to do that either, consider this:
can you run a Windows application on a computer without installing Windows?

quite clear. And what you want to do is at the least annoying and may well be illegal.

So we're not going to help you with it.

well, he's out of luck.
His requirements say he can't write a program to act as a server, which means he can't write anything that sends information to other systems either in a request/response or push paradigm :)

self censorship is fine, it's when governments start preventing people from saying things because the government doesn't like what's being said (which is what true censorship is) that things get hairy.

prisons have always been for punishment. The fundamentally flawed idea that they're for "rehabillitation" was a direct spinoff of the flowerpower movement of the 1960s and early 1970s when it was thought everyone was basically nice and if only shown a lot of love and understanding would steer clear of crime.

As a result prisons were ever more changed from institutions where people are locked up to protect society into 5 star hotels where they're supposed to be "reeducated" and shown that they are really nice people at heart who made a bad mistake that really was not their fault at all.

This has of course failed utterly, as people are generally NOT nice, and the percentage of criminals who pick up their criminal enterprises after being released has gone up instead of down as the deterrence value of prison sentences has been reduced to almost nothing.

never bet, it doesn't pay in the long run.

never do database access from jsp, it's not what they're meant for (yes, I know it's possible but it's also possible to jump off a 50 story building).

and always use code tags.

well, it IS possible.
The conspiracy theorists think "Bush" lied about Iraq, Afghanistan, etc. etc..
So what's to stop them from dropping a few nukes and claiming it was normal bombs dropped on workshops where terrorists were making nukes?
It'd be so out of character that the conspiracy theorists wouldn't believe it to be a lie, they don't think the president is capable of such creative thinking :)

Bigger problem would be to convince the Russians, but they're I think aching to try out their own nukes so it should be possible to make it a joint operation with them with both sides getting to nuke someone, their choice from a mutual list of targets.

Dima, most people don't bother to do their own research into the history and current status of the Middle East. They'll lap up whatever the press tells them, and the press has been firmly in the terrorist camp for the last 30 years or so.
Remember that anti-semitism is still rife throughout the world, and most people don't shed any tears over dead Jews while being outraged at any Arab who so much as is inconvenienced when his television doesn't work because of a brownout.

Something tells me that you've been a victim of crime, jwenting..?

yup, though not by a youngster. The owner of a company I used to work for ran off with all the company funds, leaving us bankrupt and costing me a lot of money (5 years later and my salary is finally back where it was before the bankruptcy, not counting for inflation, and that's just missed income, I also lost most of my savings).

That's an html question...
You need to set the target attribute of the a tag to a non-existent frame, that's all that's required.

in fact, all sessions will expire automatically at the rate set in the server/web app configuration.

And while there are ways to do it manually, using timers and threads in the application, why would you want to essentially replicate functionality the server provides for you?

yes, but you don't want to.
It's not what JSP is intended for, and why reinvent the wheel?

And no, we're not going to help you do things that are a Really Bad Idea (tm)(p)(c)(r)

Prison is the best place to learn, if you want to be a good criminal.

That stay in prison should be short, violent, and terminal.

Dragon is right. That is exactly why Israel is still fighting the Palestinians, tolerating terror in the streets and everyday bombings of the cities - they are reluctant to use enough force to bomb the terrorists into the stone age. Because the first world countries are being led by scared politicians who are afraid to give orders to the army. They all think about their own career, instead of the damage the country is sustaining.

Well said.
Both Syria and Jordan had the exact same trouble with the so-called "Palestinians" (a name invented by the guys who invented the PLO to deliberately drive a wedge between Arabs and Jews in the area) in the 1950s and '60s.
Both countries resorted to the same tactic. Drive a few tens of thousands of them together in a city somewhere you don't mind destroying, surround the place with several army divisions, and use the entire area for target practice for artillery, tanks, and aircraft until there's nothing left standing.
Then send in the infantry and shoot everything that moves, men women and children alike.

The PLO never bothered either country again.

Israel however has gone down the path of self destruction, is committing national suicide. Their political leadership (like that of the US during the Vietnam war as well as today) is too weak and afraid of "international opinion" to do what is needed to succeed.

spammer reported.

Or the city jail will be full of teens.

Best place for them. Might teach them to listen to adults instead of badmouthing them, mugging them, and generally being obnoxious.

the best army is one that's so good noone dares oppose it on the field of battle, one that by its very existence makes war unnecessary.
So having weapons that don't have the name of an enemy written on them is a good thing, it makes people take pause and notice that there's room enough for their name...

doesn't sound like it.
sounds more like a kid taking some random buzzwords and deciding to see if there's money to be made in combining them.

and use code tags and proper naming conventions.

easy to read and write, with if at all possible very limited means for idiots to mess up things I then have to untangle and repair.

and don't forget that Java doesn't need a lot of the design patterns in the C++ and Smalltalk catalogues because it isn't plagued with things like multiple inheritance and operator overloading.

So Java makes use of some patterns that C++ doesn't while at the same time not needing a lot of patterns C++ makes use of.
According to sarehu's reasoning that makes Java the better language as it requires less patterns, not I think what he had in mind with his attempt to turn this into a language war by flaming Java :)

check the dates, kid. It's been over a year since this spammer posted his call for people to come work for him for free.

he's not using anything, he's spamming his sites on the forum...

are there reputable online colleges? I thought they were all diploma mills where lazy cheating fraudsters can buy real looking diplomas from nonexistent universities.

and why can't you test methods?

read up on what makes an applet and applet and you'll know soon enough what you need to do.
Hint: it's a few methods that need implementing, a bit of code shuffled from the main method to a utility method to be called from both main and some of those methods, and that's basically it.

no, we're not your slaves to respond to your commands.
Maybe were you to ask something in reasonably correct English we'd give it thought.

Draft is NOT conscription, though the two are related.
Draft is for the duration of a conflict, conscription is for a fixed duration irrespective of whether there's a conflict.

The draft in the US ended with the Vietnam war, and has never been renewed (despite calls by the Dems to do so, veiled as "rumours" that "Bush wants to start a draft for Iraq").

good luck, if you are capable of thinking you'll figure it out.

yes, that's what it wants.
And it can get that information from any tutorial or introductory text, but it is apparently too lazy to do its own research and wants us to do it for it.

you must live in a different world from the rest of us if you think the media is anything other than hardcore socialist...

In fact you contradict yourself in your own statements :)

conscription teaches kids discipline and respect, as well as skills that could come in handy when they go hunting for jobs (many get training as vehicle mechanics, cooks, nurses, etc. etc. as well as obedience to their superiors and not questioning everything your boss tells you to do).

When they cancelled it here in the 1990s youth crime exploded.

Herb's books are littered with mistakes both small and large.
His examples may compile but his advise is often very bad, bad to the point of being utterly in contradiction with best practice and sometimes flatly contradicting the language specification.

suggestion: start from scratch and think before you hack code together.

And you'd better hurry or you'll never get done in time.

And no, we're not going to do it for you.
Indeed it's not urgent to us at all.

"i've got 2! count 'em 2 Java books and i'm still stuck...Help?"

I've got 200...

Quite obviously (learn to interpret error messages...) the compiler knows nothing about a class "NextRecord".
