The fact that the OP's application logic and data access code are tightly coupled reveals he doesn't use Spring Framework to it's full potential. One of the fundamental ideas of Spring is to program by interfaces and decouple the actual implementation from the interface, and configure the implementation declaratively.
If he had designed his application properly, changing the data access implementation would be very unintrusive to the rest of the code. Actually, transactions could be also defined declaratively, further decoupling them from the data access code.
Whether or not you're rolling your own or reusing isn't as important as knowing the tools you're using!
You forgot about Israel, which is the MOST functional democracy in the middle east, parliament and all. Both Jews and Arabs have full voting rights in Israel.
Repeat after me: "Israel is not a democracy." They have no constitution. The law grants people rights based on ethnicity. People are arrested, locked up, tortured and even killed without a trial. Military and religious figures, who are not elected, have considerable power over government policy. Practically all of political elite is military.
Check out this site to see how Finnish MEPs voted. (thanks to Raphael for the link a few posts up)
Also, check out how each parliament group voted and which group your candidate would be a part of. GUE/NGL seems to oppose software patents the most - so vote for a leftist!
What do you do to stay competitive and be the best resource for your employer? Do you generate more in revenue than your employer pays you? How concerned are you about the money that your company lays out for you and your team?
If you did everything you could (and then some) to be an excellent worker and still got the boot, you'd feel like quite a tool, wouldn't you?
Well I've got news for you: corporations are run by greedy bastards. Even if you manage to impress your closest supervisors, those above them will have you fired regardless, just because some jerk on the top thought he'd get a huge fricking bonus by artificially driving the short-term profits up.
As of today, I think of the world as one big marketplace, with US & EEC as the primary consumer and 3rd world countries as primary producers. That is how simple it has become.
Um, wait a minute... if the middle class disappears because of offshoring, who exactly are going to do all that consuming, and with whose money?!
If you read the sources I linked, you'd have noticed that Clarke is saying he was constantly told to link Saddam and Al-Qaida, proof or not. Also, most Mideast/Islam experts think that Saddam & Al-Qaida is a very unlikely alliance because of stark political and religious differences.
And well, ridiculing FAIR while saying WorldNetDaily is a reliable source is rather... funny.
Also, holding Rice as a reliable source in this issue is ridiculous: she definitely has a personal agenda on this. Not to say that I'd think CNN is a reliable source anyway, it's quite analogous to government PR office.
Iraq National Congress is a US puppet, expect nothing that contradicts the the US government from them.
I haven't been reading Washington Times, so I don't really know how credible they are. They did have rather right-wing slant in their stories, for example they ridiculed the Geneva Peace Accord openly and some of their advertisements seemed targeted at rather rightist readers. The Toronto Star seemed like a decent source, but the article was really dated - if the document was genuine and actually the "smoking gun", how come the whole issue has been buried since?
Will you finally reveal your sources? I've been waiting for a while now and posted my own sources.
Uh, or maybe your "sources" are simply a) the US government PR office and b) right-wing nutcase websites?

Well, you're already modded as a troll, but I think you could actually be serious.
Has it occured to you that workers get "greedy" because their living costs are so fscking unbelieveably high, not because they think their "lazy asses" deserve to sit in a damn mansion and drive a friggin' SUV? Actually, their Indian counterparts' income (relative to cost level) is probably on par with or better than theirs.
This is exactly why global capitalism cannot work - it's not a level playing field. With the assumption of a level playing field, the theory seems nice and the system beneficial to everyone. But in practise, it's a big drokking candy store for capitalists. They pick the berries from the cake and move on to the next country.
Fucking A. killing very very bad people. People who are out to destroy me and my family. People who kill at random, using the most terrifying methods as possible.
No, you're wrong. These "absolutely evil" people you're referring do not exist. There are few, if any, people out to destroy you and your family.
I assume you're referring to terrorists (BOO!!!). Terrorism, by definition, isn't about hating someone's guts enough to kill one self in the process of killing that someone. Terrorists do not hate democracy, law and apple pie, they have actual motives and goals. Some of which might be quite fucked up, but anyway...
Writing of terrorists as envious savages who hate our way of living, our technological and economical provess and our religion, is extremely naive. Sure, people might be envious and dislike people based on their worldview and religion, but hell no, they don't go blowing themselves up because of that! The problem is more deeply rooted and is largely based on (real or perceived) injustice combined with poverty and hopelessness.
(DISCLAIMER: as a European atheist leftist hippie scum, the "us" or "our" refer to a larger Western civilization)
Allright, then. Here's some sources to back up my stand. What are your sources?!
But while hawks -- especially in the Pentagon -- believe Krekar is a "smoking gun" linking Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden, the CIA is skeptical about his alleged ties to Baghdad.
Barely five hours after American Airlines Flight 77 plowed into the Pentagon, the secretary of defense was telling his aides to start thinking about striking Iraq, even though there was no evidence linking Saddam Hussein to the attacks.
While a Saddam Hussein/Osama bin Laden connection was one of the administration's early justifications for going to war, it has produced no evidence to demonstrate this link exists.
British intelligence sources also dismiss claims by Washington hawks that Mohamed Atta, believed to be the ringleader of the September 11 terrorists, met an Iraqi intelligence official in Prague on several occasions.
Whether one believes we should have gone into Iraq or not, one cannot argue the fact that the people there are better off now, than they were under Saddam's regime.
Well, it seems like a great many Iraqis actually do argue that "fact". Under Saddam, they had relative safety, sanitation, electricity, hospitals, education etc. They lacked many liberties - most of which they still lack - while having all the basic necessities of life.
there was a link between Saddam's regime, and Al-Qaida, and that was our MAIN reason for going
No there wasn't. The fact that a great number of Americans still believe that there was a link proves that the American media is the fscking Pravda (the Soviet "news" source which trumpeted the official Soviet "thruths") of our days.
You're in denial, man. Must be all those pledges of allegiance etc etc. Get over your nauseating patriotism and admit your country can do, has done, and will do wrong.
That's pretty much in line with my experience though; my grandfather died of cancer (lung cancer- he was a big smoker), one grandmother died of cancer, my hamster died of cancer, a colleague at work she died of cancer, a family friend died of cancer. My aunts dog recently died of cancer.
But I live in the UK.
I haven't got the statistics to back it up and I don't have the time to look up any (I'm at work), but I'm quite sure that cancer is more common in the West than the East. It's all those chemicals we keep ingesting, inhaling, etc. Not to mention that we live longer and thus accumulate more carsinogens (sp?) during our lifespan.
So, comparing UK and Ukraine to determine the effects of Tchernobyl doesn't paint a realistic picture.
AFAIK, "kara" is "empty" and "oke" is "orchestra". So, "movieoke" makes absolutely no sense, unless you're speaking of movie soundtracks. DISCLAIMER: I'm not Japanese and I can't speak the language.
The reason why everyone hates America is because you have the ability to rain down death and destruction on anyone who gets in your way. Not anyone who does something wrong. Not anyone who wrongs a non-friendly country. Just anyone who happens to have something that you want that paticular week.
Maybe the _MOST_ _INSIGHTFUL_ _COMMENT_, _EVER_.
Well, not to me particularly, since I happen to share his insight, but to any "OMFG teh evil turorists hate our guts coz they're sick bastards who can't stand the thought of our freedom and prosperity"-patriot Americans.
Seriously, world politics makes me laugh. It's like a bunch of pre-schoolers making forts and fighting over who's the king of the castle. Except it's not funny, because people die and stuff.
It bogs my mind to think what kind of monsters we let rule ourselves. What the fuck?! Is everyone fucking mad?! Wake up!

This reminds me of the highly scientific statistical research I did based on spam I receive, most of which originates from USA...
The conclusion of the research:
Americans have small, limp penises.
