Fresh out of college I got asked this same exact stupid question and I answered it correctly. Too bad the guy who asked it didn't understand my answer, he had to ask his partner to check if it was correct (I guess he didn't know there are many ways to solve one of these problems).
If you can't figure out the answer, don't ask the question dufus. And this question tells you little about the kind of coder the person is in the first place.
BTW the job paid crap, and this was during the good days. I didn't take their offer of course (it was to program the Jaguar... yuck)
Don't forget to take a look at his comments section to see how hard his trying to spin this to show Firefox is even less secure than IE!

In Panama, the UNICEF money was a great source of wealth for politicians. UNICEF had not good mechanism of auditing and keeping track of the money, and ensuring that it was actually spent on children.

This just means that the G5 crap being better performing than the Intel stuff was pure marketing BS! I mean, an emulated application runs just as fast?!?!
If the PS3 hits early 2006, and the XBox comes out sans HD-DVD, you can kiss this stupid format goodbye. There's no great motivation for most consumers to buy these drives yet, so they're a bit early. And their players really can't compete with a gaming machine, so I don't know what their strategy is here.
MS is a one stop shop. You get their.net "framework", their IDE and tools, their database, their webserver, their OS, etc. etc. and managers say you can't go wrong with that.
On the other hand, the complexity of some of the.net stuff seems less because something like JEE (J2EE) has a lot of little bits that are highly more configurable than in the MS world.
I'm sure that's it because that's the type of feedback they've received from a lot of big companies (including the one I work in) and they are trying to make things easier.
That's why they have been working some much on Netbeans and EJB 3.0.

Although an uncommon man, Wedge has a common name. A number of characters in Star Wars stories have had the last name "Antilles," but very few of them are related. Interestingly enough, in the early draft scripts of Star Wars, Wedge was a young human pilot named "Chewie."
What is the "Jakarta Commons"? I know what it is, but you'd think the review will explain this briefly and then say how the book failed or succeding at explaining them.
I've dealt with a lot of commercial 3rd party support schemes, and I have to say, my experience has been extremly positive with regards to Open source.
I remember a big CORBA corporation, won't name them or their product, but it was basically an ORB. We had used their stuff for previous versions of our product, but it was unstable and a nightmare to maintain. Just to give you an example, telnetting into their software that was attached to our process, would kill the whole server by just typing a random character!!!
So one day they started asking us "how much money we make" with our product, and wanted to charge us a % of the profits we make! Not only that, they wanted to charge us in the HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS, for their new support scam to be renewed in a yearly basis. Oh, and the new version of their orb required us to recode our app!
So when they told us this, one of my co-workers had been testing JacORB. Turns out this our software was faster, more stable and ran in more platforms than the one from the comercial vendor!
Not only that, but when we had problems, we usually got responses the same day. We even got sent code to patch the software for some problems! All of this FOR FREE!
I have no problem paying for tech support, but a lot of this support is not only too expensive, but it's very slow and no, it's not much better than the message boards or mailing lists of some of the open source products. Try dealing with Oracle tech support and exchaging code with them, to see how slow it is to get them to fix problems.
The largest Christian body in the world is not fundamentalist, and doesn't require that followers believe in the literal interpretation of the Genesis story.
So how can you say "I'm Christian so you know where I stand"?

I'm a US citizen because I became naturalized. There's no such concept as only being a US citizen because you are born here, unless you favor some weird nativist notion that doesn't make sense considering mostly everybody in this country came from immigrants.
It's weird how you call Dobbs racist, yet you feel people are not really US citizens here because they weren't born here.
You're completely correct. This is extremely annoying.
I recently setup a computer for my 4 year old, most of what she does on it is watch her DVDs. I was totally puzzled as to why she couldn't watch videos on her account while running on Windows 2000.
You get some weird error, so I had to guess it had to do with permissions. I have to login as administrator to let her play DVD movies! This makes totally no sense!
Slashdot Mirror
I removed adblock, but that didn't seem to help at all ... (I have more extensions though ...)
Yeah, I was hitting save but nothing.
I just tried it on IE And it works, seems like it's a problem with my version of Firefox (perhaps a conflict with one of my extensions?)
I go to the weather section, I remove "Happy, TX" and add my zipcode and blam, it doesn't add my city and keeps "Happy, TX".
I go to the "news" section and increase the number of stories from 3 to 5 and, nope, it keeps 3.
I go add a "gmail" section and it does nothing?
Is this thing working at all? I can't seem to be able to save / configure anything.
You got it wrong, it's blogzwords, not buzzwords. Duh!
I blog this blogerific blogpost!

People use ringtones to set themselves apart, have something unique and to "show off" a bit. None of this really applies to music videos.

... not the ipod.
The song gets copied into your computer and played just like you would do with winamp or win media player.
itunes just talkes to the ipod to download or upload data (music, playlists, etc)
> So, of course the proposes program is just a bunch of simulations. That's what they do, moron!
They are simulating BitTorrent entirely wrong (RTFA!), so the value of the simulation is almost equal to zero.

Are you stuck in a recursive time loop circa 1996?
It's like Johnson, or Williams.

What are the other books that are better? Why?
