Just for the sake of completeness: The concept of a "single rooted hierarchy" is not new. We can find the most prominent implementation in Java and the.NET implementation is almost a "clone" of it (including the toString() Method). What's new in.NET is that they include primitives...

How often do you write a loop to print the contents of an array? I never realized until Bloch pointed it out that System.out.println(Arrays.asList(array)) accomplishes the same thing much more simply.
Personally I prefer PostgreSQL because MySQL uses a bastardized version of SQL. I wouldn't even call MySQL a "database" since it doesn't have triggers, rollbacks, stored procedures or nested selects!
Whenever you have a meeting with your PM, have a in one form or another a list of the current project requirements at hand. Whenever he asks for a new feature you show him the list and say something like: "Ok, here we have our current requirements. Which one would you like to put back in favour of the new feature" (politely). From practice I can tell you that this works wonders...

I'm sorry so say that, but when you think mixing markup with SQL is a good idea, then you should turn around, go home and only come back again when you've managed a Web-project >50 KLOC.
Ok, and now capitalsim forces IBM to outsource its workforce on hardrives somwhere to asia. Hopefully these poor 10 year old taiwanese childs now finally get a decent job. capitalism rulez!

The fact that the enviroment we're living in is so rare in the universe is not surprising. If there were no such environment nobody could think about it...
I enjoy seeing MySQL becoming a mature database, but I do not exactly know what this hype is all about!? PostgreSQL supports server-side programming for a long time now (the same way it supported transactions long before!). At the moment it supports three different (and working) implementations:
- PL/pgSQL (this is the counterpart to ORACLE PL/SQL)
- PL/Tcl (TCL Procedural Language)
- PL/Perl (yes, this is server-side perl implementation!)
Here the pointer to the corresponding
manual entry
Weve been struggling with filesystems for a long time now. But IMHO filesystems for themselves are some sort of "hack". In the end its all about data, so why not faciliate applications which are "experts" in handling data: databases! This of course sounds like the wording of an ORACLE representative: "everything is a database". But hey, at least with files theyre right. Why we still dont put our data in databases is still a mystery to me...
Ok, despite the unfairness of Internet voting today (intellectual voters would be favoured because of easier access to computers) there seems to be another problem with it:
Today legislature for a given government lasts about 4 years (in average). After massive persuasion just before the elections, government can do more or less what theyre supposed to do in this period: foster their lobbies.
And now imagine a prospering Internet-voting infrastucture. Do you think it will only be used every four-years? No! Instead it will be used more and more for plebiscites, monthly, weekly even daily polls. If legislation gets bound tighter to these poll-results we have the purest form of direct democracy, in which political leaders are forced to react.
Do you think that this is in the interest of those leaders? Judge yourself...

You aren't very long into Java, are you?
