I don't recall texting ever being "cheap" - 10p a text is quite alot, esp. when you can only convey 120 characters per text.
Its popular, in my opinion, because its easy to say "I'll be there in 10 mins" quickly, ie you dont have to use the "pleasantries" of a phone call which can easily bulk out the time it takes to relay your message to someone.
Efficiency, thats the key to why texting is popular in the UK IMHO. But then in America efficiency isn't really a byword in anything done there now is it?;)
On a serious note, it seems that although I can remember events and these events bring about an appropriate emotional response, I cannot remember exactly how I felt AT THAT MOMENT IN TIME or the intensity of that feeling.
Its the same with an LSD trip I took once. I remember what happened, and it makes me laugh. But I cannot remember the feeling of being high like that, my brain just seems to have forgotten the emotions. I always find that interesting to think about...
I was taking both statements within context of the article, thanks..
What he's basically saying is this: "Customer support is essential with on line gaming because we can't get away with fobbing them off (like you can in other sectors of industry who don't talk to each other). So don't you bother doing it either because its far too expensive for the likes of you".
Both statements of which I find objectionable, and what my post was about.
He's moaning about the cost of providing support!! Whether or not lawyers are involved, the expense is justified. If we were all more vocal, we'd all get better support for all our produce.
I'm not talking about the compiler, I was talking about the project file format - you know, the little file thats written when you create a new project in the IDE?
Re-reading my post, I think I was actually describing the behaviour of the.form file rather than the actual.nbattrs project file. Both are actually written in XML, although a little cryptic - I just checked.

.. we kind of knew already that complexity can be acheived with a basic set of rules re flocking. This may be interesting, but its hardly new.
Sounds like they are rehashing old ideas into a book just in time for Xmas to get you to splash your cash.
But seriously, compiling a class with 9 inner classes is definately a strange thing to do.... and why would you want to exclude individual files from the WAR? Surely, any none dependant files should be included/referenced from your dependant files in a separate package/directory.
You're doing something conceptually wrong on both counts!
Actually, netbeans tends to do things the way they are supposed to be done, not the way you think they should be.
Which is what an IDE should do, especially when you are dealing with large projects and need some fomalisation built in to the structure of the project.
IntelliJ may allow you to fudge things a little, but in 6 months time when the project ends would you rather have controlled steady development or a bundle of spaghetti code to deal with and debug?
For example, I love the way you can build a bean add it to the component panel, drag it into your app and adjust the properties on the form in the UI's properties window. It deals with the coding quite smoothly and efficiently and even allows connections to other components on the page in the correct coding methodologies.
My only gripe in the last version (I don't know about this one) is that the way the project is stored - you cannot edit it easily if your form goes "wrong". It also rebuilds the code (even if you change it in another editor) in the uneditable regions for you each time.
Something they may like to consider is to change the project file format to XML so it can be easily altered if the IDE breaks.

Maybe we should try and masturbate a bit while learning, maybe the notion of an exam will become more pleasurable. ;)

"In online," Walton claims, "Customer service is the business... If we were an army, customer service would be the infantry."
"Is there any upside here? NO," Walton grunts. It's simply a necessary (and frustrating) expense.
Supporting the "customer" should NEVER be a frustrating expense. Supporting your customer, Mr Walton, should be your main concern in EVERY business.
When are companies going to learn that across the whole market, CUSTOMERS COME FIRST and are not there to be bled dry and fobbed off?
feh.
Man its bad enough that my phone randomly phones people in my pocket when I sit down, let alone when I'm walking along the road..
My phone's autolock doesn't always work so I don't really want to phone australia by mistake cause I just ran up a flight of stairs!
