Here's a question for you that i've been asking myself a while. Http is old, tired, stateless, text based... primitive... yet it is deeply rooted into anything internet related. So i ask myself and you... shoudn't a better protocol be introduced. One that doens't require sessions or massive xml and text parsing. It would imply the re-inventation of browsers, applications and the whole internat practically and it will probably never happen unless say there's gonna be a broswer supporting both https://www.salesforce.com/products/platform/overview/ and nc site.com/ (ncp = new cool protocol) ... i dunno ... what's your thouths on the matter ... should HTTP be replaced with something more up to date with the market needs ... or not... ? Regards

Well the general public thinks that chatting is unhealthy cause it makes you lazy,fat and antisocial. But "used" with moderation i don't see what's the harm. I mean... nothing in this world that i done excessively is good.Not even taking to many vitamins of too much sports. People have a hard time accepting new things. This is the future. And it's rather cool. I only dreamed of talking to someone from a foreign country and see what's it like there when i was young.The internet means free access to information. How people use that should be their business. If you're dumb enough to waste your life on chat rooms and have no real friends. Fine by me :angel:)Regards,Sebastian

Hey forum, We all must have our success stories, our moments of glory and "i rule" feeling. So... what's the coolest project you worked on ? What happened... share the story.Thanks

There are also some tools that help you convert a jar to an exe. Although it isn't indicated ... But still... nice to know :angel:

Hey guys, i'm kinda new to the Spring area and i have a little question i wasn't able to answer by myself . Ok, so struts2 has a thing called OGNL ( object graph notation language) which is basically an object pool that makes data available throwout the web application. What about Spring. As i've seen so far it uses attributes ... but where do they go ? I mean... is there an object container in the back like in struts2 or does it use simple attribute scopes like context, request and session ?Thank you , :angel: Sebastian

Actually... the latest version of Chrome supports addons and bookmark sync. I'm a fan and user of Firefox. But lately i've been giving Google Chrome a shot. It still has a long way to go but it looks promising for Chrome.

Opera is pretty nice, but i'll never give up Firefox because of the big community... the various plug ins available, especially those regarding web development. Firefox will always be the best browser in my eyes, even though I've used Opera a while and liked it too. What i liked about Opera, i must admit were the mouse gestures.

Support IE ? NO WAY !!! There was a joke about this... Why do people used Internet Explorer ?0.5% - because they like it1.5% - because they aren't aware that other browsers exist98% - to download Mozilla FirefoxIE is just useless in every way... i see no reason to use it. Mozilla gives you a way faster browser, tons of plug ins for development and it's just fun to use.

7 hours... sometimes 8. 8 is recommended. But i have a friend who didn't sleep for 12 days straight... needless to day after day 7 he started hallucinating :angel:

I am aware that the java editors topic was already addressed but i don't think of this as a repetition. I have a big question mark floating above my head. I have to choose an IDE from those three. So i would like to ask for your help. What would you/did u chose and why ?What do you find as PROS and CONS for each ?Thank you

Uhm i felt exactly like you do ... about 7 months ago when i started my web adventure. If u wanna become a web programmer and do some hardcore stuff there's several approaches to it as you might have already figured that out. What i can say that it was as much frustrating and time consuming and tiresome for me as it could be for you without guidance. There are a lot of options for how to make a website. There are countless tools but i recommend that you start off like a did : using notepad ( or not to be that sadistic Notepad++) as a text editor. Now... there's 2 types of sites... static and dynamic... The static ones are just made up of HTML and CSS as you know. The dynamic ones involve some sort of server side technology (and provide some functionality like adding comments or the usage of users or image uploading etc). This is where it gets confusing. You've got a lot of options :ASP .NETJAVA EE (Servlets,JSP)RUBYPYTHON PHPZEND (improved php, kinda)ACTION SCRIPT 3 ( from Adobe )and so on...First thing you should do is choose one. I would start with PHP which used to stand for personal home page. It's quite simple, not a complicated learning curve and one can use php to create some really nice web applications really fast. I personally don't like it, i use Java... but that's just me. I have had about 4 years of programming background in which i developed plenty of desktop applications. So... i say... grab a few books for : HTML,CSS,JAVASCRIPT and PHP .... read them... make some simple examples ... and you should be on a good starting point from there on out. After making a simple PHP site with login and logout and i dunno ... leaving a comment on the site or something you should have a good grasp of the basic notions of what being a web developer involves. Oh... and for the books i recommend you look up the Head First series. Those books really opened my eyes.Well, hope that helps. Hit those books and don't give up... getting good at something requires a lot of work... trust me... i KNOW :angel:)Regards, Sebastian

That's not all that Open Office offers. What i loved about it was that it offered pdf export. Also the high compatibility with Microsoft Office. If you're not forced to use Microsoft Office i don't see why you would chose it over Open Office. It does the same thing... and it's free. It has my respect !

Here's what i know. There's matter... everything surrounding us. But scientifically speaking there's also anti-matter. Black holes are supposed to be made up of anti-matter and supposedly there's a black hole in the center of our spiral shaped galaxy... makes one wonder....

As far as i know ... according to the BIG BANG Theory (explosion - implosion) the Universe is currently expanding and will keep expanding up to the point of scattered atoms where "nothing" tangible would exist and then start to implode back to a single particle.As far as the number of Universes... sure... there's an infinity of them given by every quantum choice available. Quantum physics is only begging to imagine what we're dealing with over here and all sorts of theories such as the string theory. I warmly recommend "What the bleep do we know" documentary. That's were i picked up most of this info. Have a great day,Sebastian

My humble opinion is that we'd all be better off if we would take 100% advantage of the technology the world possesses. I can only imagine a world where menial tasks are performed by machines leaving the human being with the intellectual tasks and a lot more free time. One thing's for sure... at the rate the world is going right now... we're bound to seriously hit our heads, wake up to reality and see all the mistakes we've made in this world... and I'm talking about global stuff like pollution and ineffective means of obtaining electric power... that sort of things. Just hope we wake up in time...
