i ve been succful in complting it thnx any way

As successful as in your English classes?

I say, always use the right tool for the job. This may be java, or .net, depending on the job.

Visual Basic is never the right tool for the job. .NET may be, but not Visual Basic.

If the Queen lives much longer she may survive prince Charles :)

I mean, it was so urgent it's now too late to help him ;)

This is just basically trying to FORGET THE PAST and in my opinion: THE PAST WAS MUCH BETTER!! (The 80s mostly and before)

No, it's more like not rewriting the past to make it more "modern" :)
Most posts to old threads are of the "i wan hlp uregnt plz asap" kind by kids who never bothered to read the actual thread itself but had it pop up in some Google search and just append their homework question at the end rather than starting their own thread (and getting pounded for that ;) ).

too late...

Just write Java like you write English. Noone would understand the first thing.

Rest assured, whatever you come up with will not be enough to get a passing score.

it's simple:
1) determine how much of a homework kiddo the person is (in your case, that's 100%)
2) deduct that percentage from 100 to give the maximum IQ of the person (in your case, 0).

have you even read the 5 year old discussion above?

Trying to get into your current company's IT department might be a good move.
Maybe they'd be willing to have you spend say 2 days there, 3 days at your current position. That would enable you to gain skills while still being productive.

how con i do this ???

By reading a few tutorials...

Storing them inside a jar that's loaded by the application is most convenient.
For maintenance reasons it's best this be a separate jar, so it can be delivered by different people once the project grows beyond the size of a single person and tasks get spread out (separate artists, coders, etc.).

Do preload at least the most common images on application startup for performance reasons.

Every recruiter claims to want talent, the "top 5 percentile" of candidates.
In reality, they prefer mediocrity as that's a lot cheaper and less likely to have high demands when it comes to what work to do and under what conditions.

Take pleasure in doing a good job, rather than in counting how many people appreciate the effort you put in.
Because you'll soon realise that hardly anyone appreciates your effort, least of all your customers.

The best data structure to use depends on how you're going to use it.
Some have fast insertion but slow retrieval, others may have slow insert but fast retrieval.
Then again, retrieval speed will be different depending on whether you're doing sequential or random acccess of elements.

and? Your question?

and anything that's easy AND popular won't pay much. After all, there's tons of people doing it and it's easy to learn so there's nothing special to it.

What pays well are things that are hard to do yet in demand, as there will be few practitioners at a high level of expertise.

maybe you should search for that information yourself? We're not your librarians...

dirty little thread hijacker: we're not here to do your homework for you, and it is certainly NOT urgent.
If you have a headache frequently, go see a doctor.

It's no doubt intended as a protest against the slew of semi-random bans and prohibitions people are faced with every day.
Freedoms are being eroded in the name of "security" and "health and safety regulations", and at long last (though it may be too late, the agencies involved may have grown too large and powerful to stop) people are starting to take notice.

Did you know that in the UK it's now mandatory for workers putting up traffic signs to have a license to use a stepladder for reaching up the extra 3ft or so needed to fix the bolts?
Someone decided that special training and an exam are needed to ensure people won't fall off a 2ft high stepladder and hurt themselves, that this was such a serious problem that their use should be banned for those not having that training.

Humanity (at least in many parts of Europe and north America) has now grown so risk-averse we're completely stupified and can no longer do much of anything.
People wonder why NASA has failed to produce another manned moon mission or a Space Shuttle replacement for 20 years now, and that's the reason.
Apollo/Saturn were simple and worked. But that came at a cost of there being a very real risk of accidents and mishaps that could cause people to get uncomfortable, injured, or killed. In the 1960s and early 70s that was accepted as a consequence of doing space exploration. Now everyone …

the moment you tell people your worst secret it's by definition no longer a secret...

The problem is that you just list a few buzzwords yet don't seem to even know what they mean and haven't apparently gone to the trouble of figuring out what they mean.
That shows a lack of interest in doing your own work, which leads to us being disinclined to help you.

I'm pretty sure Blizzard Entertainment have such material available for new employees with a need to know, but almost certainly under a strict NDA.
So all you have to do is apply to them for a job as a programmer and get hired.
Of course the latter will probably require you to put in several years of effort to actually learn to program and to do a bit of independent research and thinking.

change to a sports major and forget about programming.
It's obviously totally uninteresting (at least if you think you have your priorities right in going to a sports thingie instead of going to school).

There is an important philosophical difference, and one that most people don't realise.
Those same people don't realise that GET and POST are actually not all the possible http request methods, there are several others!

GET is intended for requesting data from the webserver.
POST is intended for submitting data TO the server to do something with.
Of course to request information requires sending information, and submitting information usually leads to the returning of more information as a result, blurring the distinction to an extent.

In general, using POST in combination with request forwarding (rather than redirection) causes cleaner URLs and shorter browser history when using html forms.
Some people also use it as an (ill conceived) security system as the request parameters aren't shown in the URL and thus they (incorrectly) think users can't see such things as cleartext passwords sent in the request.

You can't. At best you can analyse the http headers coming in and try to draw some conclusions based on those but it's not reliable nor usually conclusive.

There's no need to know anyway, unless you're planning to release platform specific malware which you can't expect us to help you with.

There have been dozens of places where people said Atlantis (or some other sunken continent by some other name depending on their local mythology) would exist.

The idea of an island or continent of extreme riches that was destroyed by the Gods and sank into the sea exists in almost every seafaring culture in some form.

The Atlantic being large and for a long time impossible to navigate for shipping caused a lot of those myths to place it in there, but it's also been spotted in the Mediterranean sea, Pacific and Indian oceans, etc. etc. etc.

So far ALL those myths have turned out to be just that, myths.
EVERY SINGLE place people have looked for it and found what they initially thought were remnants turned out to be natural features on the ocean floor if not optical illusions or ruins of a well known civilisation.

Would it be an idea to have a poll/vote on whether to keep voting (up/down) system? A number of options could be included. Whatcha think?

Best solution IMO: scrap both rep and voting and give mods more power to remove useless and factually incorrect posts (which are the main reason people (should) vote posts down anyway) and posts in violation of the TOS (which apparently can't be removed now for some reason).

After trying dozens of "free" mmos I've decided it's cheaper to spend a bit of money on a decent one and purchased 2 accounts for Ryzom.
For now I've found my virtual home and I hope it's going to stay with me for a long time.

First ever mmo I encountered where most people are actually friendly and don't see me as an easy target for ganking and other harassment because I choose not to engage in pvp, instead focussing on things like crafting and boss hunting.

3rd improvement: do away with all those static methods
4th improvement: learn and apply some OO design techniques

we're not going to do your work for you.
What have you done already, and what specifically do you have problems with?
It's your project, so you'd better start learning about what you're supposed to do.

"Greenies" is not the preferred nomenclature. Environmentally-Conscious Americans, please.

No, "greenies" is the correct term. It's a religion, nothing more or less.
They're not "environmentally conscious" at all, they just go through the moves of buying their carbon credits in order to feel good.

>That's pretty much how all the ads out there read.
I realized it was all bullshit when I read an ad requiring ten years of Java experience...in 1998. :icon_rolleyes:

Or the one I read requiring 15 years of NT4 server administration, in 1996.

If your task was to design a system which was so easy to defraud, then you would be hard pushed to make it better than this.

UN oil for food program comes to mind?

so what do i do to start?

go to school and get an education.

There are jobs out there, but you're not going to get them by hijacking 5 year old forum posts.

use a hashmap with the words as keys and the counts as values.
If you find a word in it, increase the count.
If not, add it with a count of 1.

That would all depend on the DNS server you're running.
If it has an external API to allow things like that, you could try calling that.

Why command line? when you can develop the same thing in Netbeans or Eclipse within less time leading to more productivity rather than typing all command line ant thing and writing boilerplate web.xml.

Because you have to actually learn to program rather than learn to click buttons in some IDE.
You'd be surprised to learn that in a professional environment deployment and creation of deployment artifacts is rarely if ever done from an IDE, because it's not repeatable and can't be automated.

And for the beginner the IDE hides way too much of what's actually happening for him to get a proper understanding of the language and platform, leading to questions like this and worse.

First things first: how do you come to the conclusion you've made about the prevalence of C++ in that field?
Is that conclusion even correct (I've heard other things, but no conclusive data either way)?

Visual C++ 6 doesn't implement the full ISO/ANSI standard. It also doesn't support .NET or 64 bit development.

Of course it doesn't support the XP LAF, it is targetted at Windows 95, 10 years older.
That can maybe be changed by using 3rd party GUI libraries, but not natively.

no, we're not here to do your homework for you.
If you have specific questions, you can get specific help.
But just dumping your homework assignments here and waiting for someone to do it all for you isn't going to work.
It certainly won't teach you anything.

I hope someday India will fix its education system, and when it does, it will take over the world because Indians are the most naturally intelligent people in the world.

Both your posts show that you're completely and utterly wrong.
Indians are apparently still under the mistaken impression that they're inherently superior to the rest of the world and only waiting for some dramatic event that will allow them to take over the planet and make everyone their slaves.

In reality the image people get from you is one of highly selfish, full of yourselves, untalented, racist, and lazy people.
That image might be wrong, but it is the image you convey in a lot of the things you do. Not all of you, but enough of you for it to severely influence the way the world sees all of you.

This so-called "interview" and the answers provided by both you and op are typical of all that's wrong with the Indian education system, software "profession", and attitude towards foreigners in just a few hundred lines.

Was probably one of the first users of Netbeans (version 1.1 I think was the first I tried).
Also used Eclipse (from 2.1), JBuilder (from 2.0), JDeveloper, JCreator, IntelliJ, and a host of others.

IntelliJ beats them all.

The "complaints" that "Java is slow" have been inaccurate since the release of the 1.4 JVMs ages ago, but will never die because there are too many people who have vested interest in seeing the end of Java (not the least of which is a good portion of the open source zealots).
Strangely those same people do NOT have a mantra that "Ruby is slow" or "Python is slow" despite both being an order of magnitude slower than is Java (ironically it has been found that the latest version of JRuby is far faster than its C based counterpart).

It's quite possible to write extremely performant applications in Java, applications that in many cases outperform their counterparts written in C or especially C++.
But it's also quite possible to write tests that are rigged to show C++ as heavily outperforming Java.

I've seen some tests that were so clearly rigged it was silly that anyone fell for them at all.
Make it run for a very short period (so the JVM startup time makes up a significant portion of the runtime, a time cost native compiled applications don't have), use highly optimised math modules written in Assembler for the C++ program, but not the equivalent modules for the Java program, then deliberately select to "test" only those parts of the language where you know Java is relatively slow (goniometric functions mostly).
No wonder Java comes out low in such rigged "tests", but that's exactly …

A far easier implementation is as follows:

public static void sortEm(String[] array, int len)
{
    java.util.Arrays.sort(array);
}

Did you really have to revive a thread more than 3 years old with 2 posts, one by a banned member, and one by a member who's not been seen in 3 years?

I won't touch anything created by Google. It's all spyware.
Anyway, the first 2 security leaks have already been identified in it. Rather quick, only a few hours after release...
