BERKELEY, Calif. -- ON a sunny May afternoon, Brian Harvey's introductory computer science class...
i took this class back in undergrad. Brian's a great teacher. All of our examples and tests are based on Beatles references. Too bad we don't program in Scheme at my work...
checkout www.gamers.com, which has the biggest games database in the world, at over 25000 games. It's also the site for EGM, CGW and other gaming mags.
I think you are looking for 2 separate products, an RDBMS and some sort of web scripting language.
RDBMS - SQL server, like many have commented, is an excellent and mature product, more than enuf horsepower to run ANYTHING you need (especially for a 1 person shop). If you can't afford it, use a free db (mysql, msql, postgres, flat files... search for something on freshmeat), since it looks like the requirements are not too heavy, and anything heavier requires more resources than you have to run.
Scripting Language - choose some language you know. certainly ASP is plenty powerful. Free alternatives like php are good, or jsps on tomcat. Zope is python based so you'll have to learn a whole new language if you don't already know it, and really for simple websites php is best.
If you only have one person to support it, and not a programmer at that, forget about any heavy duty database, or any multi-tiered architectures or proprietary app servers or anything fancy. Apache/php/mysql is a very popular free setup and more than powerful enough, and you'll find plenty of resources online. Definitely don't go with ColdFusion.
(why does this name summon the memory of the artwork inside PF:The Wall, hmm, something there, but what...)
The protagonist in PF The Wall leads a group called The Hammerheads, with their logo being 2 hammers in an X. Just cross your forearms over your head w/ closed fists in a crowded place and see if anyone notices...
Not quite true thermodynamically. It is a problem of energy, but also a problem of the QUALITY of energy we have left. Essentially entropy. When you burn gasoline in an engine at 30% efficiency, the rest of 70% is lost as useless heat (generating entropy), which you can never get back or re-use again. That's why you can't keep using the extra heat from an engine to do more useful work (w/o degrading the efficiency, hence the original amount of work done), beyond a certain theoretical limit (Carnot efficiency for heat engines). So we might have by-products left over, but whether we can further extrac energy from those wastes is another question. Of course, things like solar energy are external to this system and can be tapped to further process the waste, but there's a limit to how much we can extract from that as well.
Use the Qmail native format, 1 file per message. Let the filesystem do its job. Qmail is a great alternative MTA to Sendmail, fast, secure (no exploits so far IIRC) and easy to configure. Qmail
furthermore, this is a shortcut operator, meaning the second test never executes if the first fails, which your revision does not take into account (thus the NullPointerException waiting to happen)
Brazil is one of the best films of all time, IMHO. Terry Gilium (sp?) of Monty Python and Twelve monkeys directed it, plus it's got Robert Dinero as a plumber.
Boys from Brazil, while not a classic, is entertaining nonetheless. Lawrence Olivier and Gregory Peck co-star, it's great to see these two great actors go at it (literally).

Fields medal winners do have practical applications, like that guy in Good Will Hunting...

... do something ...
if( aClassName != null && ! aClassName.equal( "" ) ) {
}

Highly recommend you see both! soon!
