Meaning that if you ever plan to do anything with threads, stick with Vector. In fact, always stick with Vector.
This is wrong on several levels. First, if you need a threadsafe List, the recommended way of getting one is with Collections.synchronizedList(). Secondly, having a class (such as Vector) that has all of its methods synchronized forces you to deal with the overhead of synchronization whether you need it or not - with *every* method call. Imagine a tight loop that inserts x objects into a Vector. That equates to x object locks required - which is a relatively expensive operation. A much more efficient way of doing this is to locate where your Thread contentions may occur, then use block-level (rather than method-level) synchronization.
Vector, and its cousin Hashtable have been legacy components since java 1.2 was released (in 1999). There is no compelling reason to still be using them for new development.
Aside from cringing through the love scenes, Clones was actually a great noir flick with some of the best action sequences in the series. Sith blows all five other films away.
Agreed. I watched all six films in order not too long ago. "Clones" and "Sith" are easily on par with "Empire". "Hope" was just a feel-good space western, and "Jedi" was just a campy popcorn flick until the last 15 minutes.
You should even be *more* ashamed to forget that the Millenium Falcon is certainly not a stock YT-1300. That's like saying K.I.T.T was "Just a Trans AM".
In this particular instance, the features were related to ad-reps exploiting holes in the original deadlines and scheduling code and as a result short-changing the company and giving clients hundreds of dollars in free advertising (without realizing it) because circumventing the deadlines helped them meet quota.
So, effectively, the user complaints you received were not valid ones, since they were only complaining about no longer being able to rip off their company.
No, I'm not saying you should believe in God because its the safe choice.
Any god who would damn me for using the mind he allegedly 'gifted' me with to show the modicum of critical thought required to challenge his existence is certainly no god worthy of worship or even fear.
Agreed. If you have "piles of complaints" from users, you may well be causing more harm to the system by fixing the undocumented features than by documenting them and making them official.
Intel, Motorola, American Express, Honeywell, General Dynamics, Allied Signal, PetsMart, Microchip and Medtronic (to name a few) have very large IT presences in Arizona . We just got a Google campus, and we're home to GoDaddy. Wells Fargo recently moved a lot of IT operations here, as labor is much cheaper here than in San Fransisco. In the mid 90's, there was talk of turning Phoenix into the "Silicon Desert". This idea deflated with the.com bubble, but the IT industry here is strong and growing steadily.
Mod parent up! This is the crux of the issue right here. When the FCC 'flips the switch' that turns off all analog TV broadcasts, you'll have millions of televisions nationwide that will go black.
I have no problem with Steam as a distribution model. But what does bother me is that *every time* I play HL2 - which is a single-player game - it needs to contact the Mothership. If Steam is down, or (more likely) my cable broadband is out, I can't play.

Loose typing and Operator Overloading in Java?? Smithers, release the hounds!!!
They tax kiddie prostitution, don't they?

True, but Luke never made it past 1st base.

Ok, I'll listen to your point-of-view...
But first, you've gotta do the Truffle Shuffle!!

Hey, don't blame Jakarta for JSF. That's a Sun Microsystems specification. :)
In the Java world, anything released by the Apache Jakarta project is usally a winner.
