The French Franc was replaced by the French Mark, which is officially known as the "Euro". Francs are no longer accepted tender anywhere in the world (except maybe on some of the French colonies in the Pacific, but I know those in the Caribbean have switched to the Euro). Some …

Depending on your experience with a language you can often make things look harder or easier than needed. How would the uninitiated determine whether a language is "easier" than another? By looking at some sourcecode? If so everyone would use Cobol or Basic as those have very simple structure and …

Not to forget C, Assembler, Python, Cobol, Fortran, Ada, VB (shudder), Delphi :) Has anyone ever counted all languages? O'Reilly has a poster of 50 influential ones at [url]http://www.oreilly.com/news/languageposter_0504.html[/url] which claims that there are over 2500 in total. That poster is over half a year old, there's bound to be …

You need FTP server software. There's several of them available, check Tucows for example. Yes, there's some risk involved. If you're not careful people will start to use your harddisk to store illegal content (child porn, pirated software, etc. etc.) that they don't want on their own machines. So you'd …

The Axis documentation is rather good. It's full of hints.

and what do you think to achieve with those questions? What possible use could you have of the answers (especially as you have no way to verify them)?

That's because the XML is corrupt. If you want html tags contained inside an XML tag's content you should turn that entire content into a CDATA section.

You can get the mouse coordinates of the mouse. That will give you the location on screen. From that you could get the Component the mouse is over. From that you can retrieve a Graphics object which can draw that component. From that you can retrieve an offset Graphics object …

1. What is your title? Master troll hunter 2. What are your responsibilities? Annoying forum trolls 3. What kinds of skills do you need to perform your job? A thick skin and a sharp tongue 4. Describe what you do during a typical day. Read forums and annoy the trolls …

contact a service provider, they'll have APIs for you (at a price).

and you could ask more specific questions, and make sure they're not questions that are easily answered by reading the tutorial resources linked on top of the forum.

[QUOTE=stultuske;366673]NetBeans ([url]http://www.netbeans.org[/url]) is supposed to run on several OS, have you tried that?[/QUOTE] which is explicitly NOT what he was asking for. I'll not remove this as spam (though it could be considered such) unless you try the same again.

sigh. Another kiddo that can't read and wants to do things in JSP that it should not. And rude too, a lazy homework kiddo.

and now to hope the original hasn't been archived somewhere and picked up by search engine "history" functions ;)

There's a pretty even mix of men and women in the company where I work. About 25 men in technical roles and management, and about 25 women in sales, customer support, human resources, and finance...

good luck

please correct at least the spelling of his name :( Yes, he will indeed be missed.

no, I can't recommend that book. Mind I've not read it, but any book with a title like that leaves me highly suspicious as to its content.

that would be best. Even better would be to not use a JSP at all for it.

Says it all really, it can't find the class. What part of "No Classdef(inition) Found Error" don't you understand?

My motto (and yes, I am paranoid): just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you.

[QUOTE]Why would a company even offer that position to a person with a Bachelor's Degree in the field is mind boggling to me.[/QUOTE] inflation of job requirements is nothing new. And bachelor's are now for some reason required for the most mundane of jobs. I've seen job openings call for …

apart from renaming the function "median" to "average" to better reflect its function? And of course renaming the local variable "average" to something like "sum" to reflect its function. What's the reason for returning the stream from your "vec" function when you then discard the darn thing?

Not quite sure what it's doing, but looks to me like the he's trying to receive something by pushing a button. Anything sent over the network at any time except that it's available to the client just when the button is pushed is simply thrown away (or that's what it …

I'd advise to never write it in the first place. Use a tool that generates binaries using some fancy GUI tool without ever going through source code at all.

No, we're not going to give you access to pirated ebooks and illegal scans of printed books. Most publishers sell ebooks these days, so do online bookstores like Amazon. Buy a few there.

Netbeans is crap as an IDE, and even worse as a learning device. You'll end up learning the tool, where all the buttons and wizards are, rather than the language. Anyone can click and drag something together that looks halfway decent, but that doesn't make them programmers.

have you made sure you're running a 64 bit version on 64 bit Windows (if relevant)? Might make a difference. I've not heard of performance problems of Java applications running on W7 from colleagues using the OS (and we're a Java heavy development shop) so it's unlikely to be something …

I've no problem with them "teaching" their pupils like they do. Reduces the overall competence level of the Indian bodyshop/outsourcing company which is good for my job security :)

yes, using getResource or better yet getResourceAsStream is the way to extract resources from a jarfile. Make sure that those resources are contained in the jarfile as part of the classpath or you'll get an error indicating that the resource doesn't exist. That means that during compilation (and jarring) the …

and don't expect us to do your research for you. If you're indeed a university student about to start work on his thesis you should by now be fully capable of doing original research. A bit of library study and using some search engines would be child's play in comparison. …

and thank you Dani for encouraging such spammers

woman :) Narue is kinda particular about that ;)

[quote] Java is actually quicker than C++, since libraries are determined before its compiled. So once compiled, the library is carried with the program, unlike C, which has to determine after [/quote] almost correct. The real reason is that the bytecode compiler can create optimised code for every specific platform …

Define "strictly p2p" and why that would not use sockets.

args.length is the length of the array of commandline arguments. If you don't pass any arguments that length will be 0 ;)

I wouldn't buy an iPod, so why buy one that's also a cellphone? And I'd not allow my kids to buy cellphones either, kids don't need them. There's only a small percentage of people who NEED cellphones, rather than thinking they need them or wanting them as some sort of …

no, we won't. RTFM.

said someone 18 months later, with the person originally asking the question long gone and never been back...

how about doing your own research rather than sitting there waiting for others to do it for you? It's your homework, not ours.

from the manufacturer website you can no doubt purchase Maya. If Maya 4 no longer is sold, the manufacturer of that editor plugin will have made a version for a current version of Maya. We're not going to help you to pirated software.

Python looks like fun. Got some books on it and can read it pretty well, didn't spend much time on it so far (too busy with Java).

good, it should give that error. You've just proven that your compiler works. It can't find the class because the class isn't in the same package and you failed to import it. You stupidly didn't put the class in a package so it's of course quite impossible to import it, …

if you have some logic to "prevent those letters not used up to be seen" it's not random at all. If it were random it wouldn't matter whether a letter had already been used or not. Easiest is to just use the Random class to draw new values, and convert …

Fix that English first, it's essential.

yup, same in Belgium, France, and probably other countries. btw, memorial day here is 04 May :)

[QUOTE=cscgal;1226419]*super sigh*[/QUOTE] Even more sigh, the "decrease size" and "increase size" buttons are rather weird. Usually an up-arrow means "increase", not "decrease" :confused:

learn a little bit of Java and you know what to do.

and to always use the system properties to retrieve operating system specific things like that if you have to.
