I've tried several, and the only one I kinda like is the one provided by IntelliJ.
It seems to create the least convoluted code, but as anything it takes time to learn to use properly.

sorry, but such an app simply won't work unless it finds an unsecured WiFi network to connect through.
Which is probably exactly what it does.

It's not a VPN in that case, it's a network sniffer and probably a nasty one that tries to brute force poorly secured networks as well.

add a million random words in a hidden div at the bottom of your page for the search engines to pick up?
Seems popular... And gets your page listed everywhere so people see it whether they're searching for it or not...

Just send the site url to your local law enforcement agency. Right before they bust you for intellectual property theft they're going to generate a lot of traffic while cataloguing it all.

Does that even exist any more?

Do NOT use VB6. It's dead, no longer supported, nobody uses it except idiot schoolkids who think using a 20 year old product is "kewl".
Use something that actually has market value, something like C#.

As to your excuse for some code, I'd not be surprised at all if "enddoc" executes a page break.

1. Learn decent English
2. Use that knowledge to learn Java
3. Use that knowledge to learn about the Java XML parsing APIs

this is all quite fundamental. You don't even need to learn libraries external to the core API as everything you need is contained within the core API.

So many ... dead threads ... now ... being resuscitated?

happens every new semester when programming courses start in certain countries where the majority of kids aren't interested in learning, only in getting the paperwork so they can get hired by firms that then sell them to other companies looking to outsource their programming departments to India.

do you really think some kid asking to get their homework done for them is going to come back years later and give you their homework they never got done in the first place because nobody did it for them?

<insult snipped>, you don't deserve even a failing grade, you only deserve to be kicked out of school for attempted plagiarism.

technically that doesn't synch the method, only a code block inside the method ;)

of course, if you do that it's no longer random...

read the javadoc for the Arrays and Collections classes, there are standard functions in there for sorting.

first learn a language that's 20 years newer than VB6, THEN start thinking about network programming...

good riddance to another terrorist pushed into premature sainthood by a world press totally oblivious of reality.
While apartheid in the RSA was a Bad Thing (tm), the terror campaign of the ANC was no better and has led to what now is a regime that is no better except that now non-blacks are the victims.

the standard way to spam people is to buy a botnet and use that. And we're not here to help you harass people with spam and/or do other illegal things.

sheesh, still at it trying to land that job at a high profile company after being supposedly already rejected by all of them?

I'd say that's not at all powerful as it's impossible to maintain, extend, or comprehend, and therefore utterly useless by all practical considerations given to production code :)

Which leads to the inevitable "how do you define powerful" :)

we're not here to do your homework for you, kid.
And if you'd paid attention in class you should easily be able to do all that yourself.

• 10 open file
• 20 start loop
• 30 read line
• 40 if end of file goto 100
• 50 parse line
• 60 goto 30
• 100 end loop

stop downloading pr0n and pirated stuff, and start using a proper virus scanner.

ALL "reviews" are tainted. Either the "review" is paid for by the manufacturer, a reseller, or a competitor, or at the very least the sample size is too small (user "ratings", typically only severely disgruntled and/or extremely happy people will bother).

Check spec sheets, look at the things for real, and make your decision.

because your teacher tells you to and you'll fail your homework assignment if you don't.

That's all the reason you need.

as I thought, you're trying to steal data. Without permission from the site operators what you're trying to do is not allowed.
Talk to them, get permission, and they'll likely sell you the data and the means to access it AT A PRICE.

I seriously doubt programs that automatically play the system are in accordance with the terms of use of any online gaming system...

asbestos and radiation are actually counter examples of your claim, Agilemind. The risks of both have been blown way out of proportion, especially since the 1970s.

In fact the blanket ban on anything called asbestos had as its main sponsor a group of manufacturers of other fire insulation materials, who launched a public scare campaign against asbestos after they themselves had stopped incorporating it into their products because mining of brown and blue asbestos was causing too many cases of asbestosis among the miners (white asbestos is perfectly safe, but was included because the public didn't know the distinction, educating them would be too hard it was considered).

And the Republicans, after gerrymandering their way into a congressional majority have proposed changing the rules for the Electoral College to get a lock on that as well.

The Dems are doing it all the time, and much more effectively...
You're as are all your leftist friends projecting your own wrongdoings on your opponents, blaming them for what you're doing yourself.

The last US census was rigged to create a massive bias towards left leaning states for example, in order to get those to have a higher than actual population, leading to them getting more influence in the electoral college.
To achieve this illegal aliens were counted as citizens, among other things, in several states.

Of course the ultimate "success" of the "progressive movement" always means disaster. Economic collapse, massive bloodshed, large spread famine and poverty, oppression, government based on fear and the large scale murder of those who're not in line with "the program".

Vietnam, North Korea, China, USSR, Zimbadwe, Somalia, Yemen, the list goes on and on.

Lady Thatcher saved the UK from going the same way for a generation, maybe two, giving millions a chance to lead a life of freedom before their children and grandchildren are now squandering it all away in exchange for "free" iPhones and designer jeans.

still waiting for that random project idea generator...
Or "porject topic generator" to use your idiom.

Come on kids, it's a brilliant idea, you can save millions of kids like yourself the trouble of thinking up their own project ideas by making that.

ah. and there's grimjack with his inevitable ad hominem attacks on those who don't share his left wing ideology of stealing from the workers to buy the votes of illegal aliens and lazy hippies.

So what? Maybe that person on social security wanted intil he/she was 65+ years old in order to afford taking that vacation. Don't you think he/she disserved it? I'm on social security and I resent your impression that we old people have not worked for 50+ years to get where we are today.

no, not all of them are lazy no-gooders. But that doesn't mean people who work hard all their lives should be denied the fruits of their labour just so others can have a good time!

"social services" here decided a few years ago that "large screen plasma televisions are a human right", and by now have extended that to cable internet, just so they can play Santa from our tax money.
When that was decided I was using a small 20 year old CRT television and using dialup because I couldn't afford that stuff, yet the taxes I was paying that caused me to not be able to afford it were used to provide that to others for free...

That's fair according to you?

And what is wrong with fair distribution of wealth (the key word being fair)?

It's be definition not fair to steal from someone who works hard for what he has and give it to some lazy SOB who can't be bothered.
It's now got to the point where less than 50% of the population pays more than half their income in taxes in order to pay for the largesse that keeps the other 50% in their designer clothes and large screen televisions, while they themselves can no longer afford those.
Yet the unproductive 50%+ scream they're not getting enough, that it's "not fair" that anyone has a higher income than them.

That's your "fair redistribution", leeching the lifeblood out of society to buy the votes of lazy buggers.
Is it fair that my father paid so much in taxes that we as a family could not afford to go on vacation some years, while a family on social security flew out to Spain or Italy 3 times a year for a 2-3 week stay in a luxury resort?
Is it fair that I as a kid was wearing clothes my mom made herself out of whatever scraps of material she could get cheap from stores, while kids from parents on minimum wages could afford designer jeans from all the subsidies they got for child support?
That's "fair redistribution of wealth" at work.

Fairness would have people decide where to spend their money, not …

indeed, the armchair socialists who've never had to work a day in their pittiful existences to earn a living yet spit on those who do the actual work that allows them their life of laziness because they "are not giving their fair share", scream for "fair redistribution of wealth" from those who actually keep the world running to themselves so they can live in luxury while those who create what the lazers consume can't afford the products they themselves produce.
The people who decide that plasma televisions are a "human right" for the unemployed, yet fail to realise (or realise but couldn't care less) that those who work in the factories where those televisions are manufactured are incapable of feeding their children, let alone buy those same televisions.

read... It's much better as it punishes the homework kiddo for his laziness.

and the leftist vile hatred of anyone who doesn't agree with their repulsive hate based ideology shows once again...

She didn't start a war with Argentina, she ended it by kicking a dictatorial regime that had invaded her country out of that country.
She kicked ass when she kicked the labour unions out of the stranglehold they'd had on British industry for decades, a stranglehold which had turned that same industry into the laughingstock of Europe, turning out overpriced products which were so poor in quality that people even preferred the Italian and Yugoslavian cars, proverbial for rotting even in the sales brochure, over Rover and Triumph.

She cleaned up crime ridden cities where leftist "governance" had created a drug fueled free for all where law abiding citizens were afraid of their life (a situation since returned by her leftist successors).

She helped bring about the demise of the Soviet Union and communist repression in eastern Europe.

All of course things leftists don't like, because leftists like crime, corruption, and the oppression of anyone who doesn't agree with them.

She wasn't perfect, nobody is, but she was a lot better than anything else produced by British politics (or indeed European politics as a whole) since Churchill or anyone who came after her.

he actually did better than you, but can do even better.
The best thing to do with homework kiddos is to give them code that's utterly incomprehensible to them (and likely their teachers) and does something completely different from what they want to achieve, but seems to do just about what they want, so they spend a lot of time banging their head on it trying to get it to work (or better yet, turn it in as is and get a failing grade for it).

Does charm and wit a good president make? (or just a popular one)

if it did, Clinton wouldn't be the 3rd worst (after Obama and Carter) president ever.

Vive la Reagan Revolucion!

If you submitted code like that to me for review, you'd fail instantly.
Learn Java and proper OO techniques, learn to design software rather than hack it together, and learn to document what you design.

Fix that English first, it's essential.

there is no wise use of globals.
The only good global is an eliminated global.

India is "top country" only according to India...
And then only in numbers.

When you use quality, expertise, etc. as a measure, India drops to rock bottom.
All the good Indian professionals got their education in Europe or the US and have been living there ever since.

*super sigh*

Even more sigh, the "decrease size" and "increase size" buttons are rather weird. Usually an up-arrow means "increase", not "decrease" :confused:

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 :)

spam, eggs, bacon, and spam

You could stir-fry them with spam.

spam, eggs, bacon, and spam!

You fail. That's not an applet, and it's not Java. It's BASIC written in Java syntax.

good, that's such terrible code it should never work.
Even if it were syntactically correct (I didn't even bother to check) it's conceptionally so utterly wrong it should just give up and die.

Not only do online petitions never work (and rightly so, there's no way in hell to know if the people "signing" are real and not some bot being used to generate millions of "signatures", but I fully agree with banning kids from playing gory games.
Just as I fully agree with banning kids from watching gory movies and porn.

there is no way. You're destroying data, of course you're loosing quality when you then blow it back up.
Anyone with half a brain would realise that.

The problem is that Obama can't think for himself.
Most people use the TP as an aid in case they loose their line, Obama is clueless without it.
Change the text on the TP and he drones something else, turn it off and he's lost for words.
