vmanes, then how does Hillary ever think to legally get president? She's already served two terms as president, presiding over BillyBoy, Monica Lewinsky's boyfriend.

private void diceRoll() {}

fix the first and you may find that several others disappear as well (though new ones may appear).
Go down the list until you've fixed them all.

But not being psychic we can't tell what those errors may be unless you tell us so we can't even begin to try to hint at what you could do to fix them.

So you believe that everyone who works at the company ... from the President, to VPs, to CEOs, to CFOs, to managers, to sales personnel, to tech support personnel, to code monkeys, to the janitors, should all be paid equally ... regardless of experience level, education, the stress level of the job, the amount of time they devote to the job, and how much money they make for the company?

It's been tried in that small country they call the USSR...
In fact the situation was worse there, management got paid less there because physical labour was deemed more worthy and politically correct than management.

As a result they of course got only incompetent managers, and all the workers did whatever they could to prevent promotion so went out of their way to not do anything to get noticed (like actually doing anything).

none. I drive a company car and bumper stickers (except a small one with the company logo) aren't allowed (nor would I use any were it my own choice).

yes, it's fair. They put in more hours than most if not all of their people, they run the greater risk (financial and legal both) in case things go wrong, and their job is extremely stressful.

And as Narue said already: life ain't fair. If your boss makes more than you because he's the boss, so be it.
If you don't like it, become your own boss and see if you can do better (you almost certainly can't if you think things should be "fair").

the kiddo has never been back, no need to resurrect a dead thread.

Without knowing what you actually want to do, you should not even think about hacking out some code...
First get those specs down on paper, so you actually know what you're talking about.

So again, do you want to store the actual file or do you want to parse the content of the file in some way and store the data contained in it?
The first is easy, the second can be easy or hard depending on the file format and layout.

It's passed in the http request to the server, where you do whatever you need to with it and put it in the http session, as well as put it into the generated html for the output somewhere if needed.

you need a tonguelashing for your attitude, your laziness, and your intent to cheat on your homework.
You also need a serious spanking for not reading the posting guidelines for this site and the sticky which states clearly that we're NOT here to do your homework for you.

hmm, under current sexual harassment regulations he'd have lost his job...

Why so difficult? You can do it in a single line of code...

return new StringBuilder(input).equals(new StringBuilder(input).reverse());

and whether and how it's assigned is completely open to the people assigning it.

I heard that President Reagan slept thorough a lot of staff meetings. I guess, if you have a well oiled staff, you can be of any age.

So do most people. Nothing wrong with that, 90%+ of what's discussed at staff meetings is best left unsaid :)

Indeed. In fact the reverse is the problem, the scoop is ineffective below a decent fraction of lightspeed. Depending on the design you need something over 0.1c at least I believe.
Remember that current propulsion systems can't reach more than about 0.01c...

Java3D is an option, or Visual C++ (the Express edition is free).
Borland/Codegear has Turbo C++ Explorer for free.

All can do OpenGL, Visual C++ (and Borland too with some work) can also do Direct3D.

read the documentation, and set up your system path environment correctly.

you do need to install the JDK first...

no, because you make no sense.

But as you've been told before, we're not here to help you write spyware, and so far you've not done anything to convince us that that's not what you're trying to do.

You're behaving like a script kiddie in fact.

Place ALL your classes in packages. While not officially required by the language specification it IS required by many tools and even were it not a very good idea.

if the funding now going into those gigabit internet lines they need to facillitate all those pirate 2 pirate networks running at schools is instead piped to the libraries, your problem days are over ;)

unless your server is heavily taxed it would probably hardly matter.
The clientside component would still have to call something on the server to get the data, all you'd save serverside is turning that data into an image.

we had no access to pirate 2 pirate sites at school...
Of course we had no internet access at all :)

So it is quite possible to prevent such access, and prevent students from wasting their time on things not related to their studies while in class, all by simply not providing them with internet access.

It's not as if they need it. A decent school library should contain whatever they require to get their studies completed.

You could use an applet, which would be the Java equivalent of an ActiveX control executed on the client.

A better alternative for both asp and jsp is to put in an <img> tag in the generated html which contains a link to a servlet (or in the case of jsp some service running on IIS) that generates the image on the server and sends it to the client.

and don't use the JBCL. It's deprecated.

In fact, don't rely on any code generators until you know how to create the same stuff by hand.

Well there is also the bicycle, the rickshaw, and the trishaw powered by a human.

All of which produce masses of hot air and CO2... Not to mention human excrements in larger amounts than would be created had their operators not used them (and thus had to eat more to gain the energy to use them).

Plus for longer distances they're clearly impractical. Try biking from say Seattle to San Francisco. Unless you have a few weeks you're not going to get there in time.

any school not teaching its students to obey the law and not steal is not worth the money they get and should therefore not get any money.
Any school actively helping students steal should be held at least in part responsible for that theft, thus any school not blocking pirate 2 pirate networks should face penalties equal to those their students face when using such networks.

The Geneva Convention is nothing which can really be enforced.. it's more of a guidelines for countries to follow. I personally don't have a problem with the U.S. government violating those 'rights' of people who are not American citizens... because as I stated earlier: better safe than sorry. Perhaps it is in violation of the convention, but our constitution doesn't actually say all rights are extended to non-citizens.

The Geneva Convention is applicable only to armed combattants who are part of an organised military force (which under the Geneva Convention means national armed forces or uniformed militia and mercenaries under the control of such armed forces).
This clearly does not include terrorists. In Afghanistan it include(d)(s) members of the Afghan armed forces but not AQ members or Taliban thugs (especially those not part of the organised armed forces).
In Iraq it included members of the Iraqi armed forces but not members of AQ or other terrorist cells (what are now given the politically correct name "insurgents" but really are thugs and terrorists).

Therefore the US is violating nothing when not treating these thugs as indicated by the Geneva Convention.
And remember they're being treated a lot better than those thugs would treat any American (civilian or military) they get their grubby hands on!

There you go. Not the cheapest (up to several thousand dollars depending on the functionality you require) but very powerful.

yes it is, use "where cmcode = 4 or cmcode = 5" which will give you all the rows where cmcode is either 4 or 5 (it can never be both at the same time, which is why your original query gave no results).

yah, if one person had all the money in the world the economy would no longer be money based and therefore that money would have no value over the intrinsic value of its base materials.

So the paper notes would make novelty toilet paper, the coins would be melted down into metal bars and exchanged for goods more useful to me.

no, he could not as he states he's having to use asp ;)

you can catch RuntimeExceptions if you want to. Though you should (in general) never catch RuntimeException, Exception, or Throwable because they're far too generic to handle correctly.

And no, you can NOT throw a checked exception from a method that isn't defined as not throwing a checked exception in its inheritance hierarchy.

and what's stopping you from writing it (apart from general laziness)?

my computers sit under my desks :)

it should be /hello1 as that's the mapping you've created in your web.xml.

And mind that the thin driver consists of 2 jar files for recent versions (1 for really old versions), the names of which depend on the version of Oracle being used.

or even less when reading the javadoc for the Math class. It contains the constant Math.PI which is an approximation of Pi (in fact everything is an approximation of Pi as it's impossible to achieve infinite precision which would be required to produce the real value) :)

Depends on how you define respect. Ann Coulter's two main abilities in the arena of respect are: 1) The ability to articulate what a fair number of conservatives tend to think, and 2) The ability to seriously unhinge ticked off liberals. For some reason, that brings the image of a vampire being shown a mirror to my thoughts...

It to me means that she's someone I can respect. Anyone who voices my ideas well enough to seriously p**s off leftists is someone who gets my approval :)

P.S. McCain has been exposed as having actively collaborated with the North Vietnamese and Soviets during the Vietnam war: http://radiopatriot.blogspot.com/2008/02/spooks-from-past.html
He may not have gotten a medal from them like John Kerry, but he got some prostitutes so I guess he got the better deal (given that both were young men at the time...).

Are you against the ACLU or searching your notebook?

both actually. I'm against the ACLU because they are one of the worst offenders when it comes to trying to limit freedom of expression and civil liberties, of course all in the name of "equal rights" for "minorities".

because he wants to write spyware and there's not many people selling ready made spyware that doesn't spy on the people it's sold to :)

Code generation sucks. The only people who believe some generator will ever replace programmers are the people who sell BPEL like tools.
I've been hearing that within 5 years there will be no need for programmers for at least the last 15 years, and from people who've been in the industry longer I hear it's been said for probably as long as people have been writing software.

4GL (which you probable refer to) languages have fallen almost completely by the wayside, as they were utterly incapable of making true even the least sweeping of their promises.
Instead they led to very poorly constructed code which was impossible to maintain and performed abysmally.

first 2 (and especially the second, which is the standard work on the topic) are good as references, they're NOT tutorials in any way.
Rely on them only and you're bound to end up making LOTS of very expensive mistakes.

The third I don't know.

Get yourself the following:
Head First Object Oriented Analysis and Design
Head First Design Patterns
In addition to the GoF book (Gamma's).
Also get yourself Robert Martin's classic "Agile Software Development. Principles, Patterns, and Practices" (which is available in 2 versions, the original which uses mainly C++ and Java, and a new edition which uses C# and is thicker, I've only read the original).

I can also heartily recommend you get your boss to sign you up for some quality training on OO design. Sun has an excellent course in their OO-226 offering. Not cheap but well worth the money (and comes with good courseware). Getting in person instruction by an expert is worth every dollar spent on it.

so you're still trying to write spyware.

1) use code tags
2) read the documentation for Calendar, it's quite good (and do NOT explicitly instantiate a GregorianCalendar, Java will pick the correct Calendar subclass for the Locale you're executing under automatically if you use the right factory method).

not urgent.

the code shows its worth in the 2nd line...

your attempts to muzzle all opposition to your ideas is all the proof that's required.

It shows your true nature, that of someone who can't stand the truth about himself from being exposed because that truth would hurt his chances of getting his propaganda and other lies accepted as truth by the unwitting.

and you shouldn't even TRY to control the console. You do NOT own the console, NEVER assume you're the only thread/process writing to it.

As a work of fiction, yes.
As a living reality (which ever more people are experiencing, in Europe now but coming to the US as well), no.

In the UK there is now 1 surveillance camera for every 4 people, every person is videotaped on average 20 times a day or more (so roughly once an hour throughout the day on average).
And the latest cameras are fitted with speakers so the operator can give someone he sees doind something he doesn't like a stern talking to or order people to wait for police to arrive and take them into custody.
