You mean you'd go to all the trouble of getting a bad haircut, wearing some retarded boring chinos and ugly polo shirt with sneakers that are so white they induce blindness, and pretend to be some dull, moneyed suburbanite just to save a few dollars and get better service...? Why not just shop at a decent place to begin with, and save yourself the debasement?
Yeah, I had an MSX machine back in 1986 too... made by Panasonic, IIRC. Trouble was, you couldn't find any games in retail stores in Ireland for it -- C64 and the Spectrum rules our patch of land. Had to buy everything mail order from the UK...
The first programming language used at Cork Intitute of Technology in Ireland was, for the national certificate (2-year programme) BASIC on a Prime 750 back in 1987 when I joined the computing dept. For the B.Sc. (4-year programme) it was Pascal on the same system. The 2-year guys went on to learn assembly (6502 or Z80), COBOL (shriek!), RPG II (SHRIEK!!!!) and some other languages, not sure what the 4-year folks went on to learn - I know C was their next langauge, and surely some others.
I'm sure there is. A less ridiculous sight, however, would be Bono lobbying various world leaders to reduce or drop 3rd world debt, shaming people into contributing to various charities and being exceedingly generous with his own time and money for those same charities. Bono might sometimes be a pompous git, but he does put his time and money where his mouth is.
Not at all. The application server (.NET) caught an exception and dumped a stack trace, because the application running on the app server failed to handle that exception. This is normal and correct.
Hibernate is a persistence layer for POJOs (plain old Java objects). Basically a way to map objects to an RDBMS, and manage transactional persistence. See http://www.hibernate.org/ for more information.
In my case, a faster (7200RPM) hard drive and at least a GB of RAM. That's what I put in my 17" Powerbook as soon as it arrived. It's the perfect laptop...
I know, I know. I might be from elsewhere but I live in the US... I just don't think the Big Gulp is anything to be proud of -- if anything, it works as an icon for excessive consumption and obesity. Disney World and Trump Towers aren't much better. You can find opulence all over the world. Anyway, this is all a digression. My original point is that there are plenty of places in the world where one can work hard and make a fortune. People have big dreams wherever they are. You can hardly claim a monopoly on dreaming large.

Gentlemen, please take your circle-jerk about how loaded / stylish you are to the bedroom. It's in bad taste.

That bloke is annoying, isn't he? Oh, and by the way -- it's spelled "argument".
I meant to say "ruled", not "rules"!!!! We have moved on since then, I swear...!

Oh, and dBASE II... REXX too, I *think*.

There's a LOT more to an ORM than connection pooling...
It's the acronym for "Service Level Agreement", as pronounced by someone with a lisp (Thervice Level Agreement, geddit?)
I hope that helped.

Colored backpacks and flashy glaring white sneakers = American tourist.

Oh enough with the Aunt Tillie crap... that's the creepiest shit that whacko gun-loving techno-hippy ever came up with.
AS a Canadian you are indeed excused! We'll put it down to a typo.
If he's American it probably would be a "blow from a fattie".
Swiss police? Eh? What are you talking about?
People were using Red Bull as a mixer in Europe over ten years ago.
Maybe the ginseng is in there to counteract the "drooping" effect that too much beer can have on certain parts of the anatomy?

*That's* your proof? Jesus...
Um, you can do this in a whole bunch of countries, you know... nothing particularly American about it...
