I like how we have been picked to lose our last 3 games.  Kansas would beat us because we can't play on the road.  We were up, what, 63-14 in the 4th?  Texas was supposed to beat us down.  OSU was supposed to beat us because we can't play defense.  36 point ass-kicking?  Now we can't beat OU.  I guess we'll see.

Heh, its not human nature to admit they were wrong.  People usually do whatever it takes to make their initial statement correct, even if that means waiting till TT loses then saying "told you so".

Good news on your Volvo, Grok.
If it has an air intake, you can put a HHO system on it. You can share with me the year and model and I'd be delighted to help you designa  system to suit not just your vehicle, but your level of ability.

2004 S60R
Red one   
Been wanting to build a CAI for years, never got around to it.  Plans are simple and materials are cheap.
HHO though, what's involved there?

i wouldn't use sql if i were you. the technology is outdated and is barely in use anymore. only a few vendors support the technology until its end of life later this year. no real company still uses a sql database these days. sql is slow, inflexible, and overall lacking in relevance to any career plans you may have.

instead, i would use ajax.

   

Nonsense.

Thank you, Grok and iago. I tend to dismiss the nay-sayers as they are the ones that discover problems, and not the solutions.
I wonder, are there any of you guys interested in the computer control systems for automotive apps? I have an issue on a device and it's effects on the ECU...

Not me.  Everytime I start to study this area, I get distracted.  Only skimmed the surface, and only details specific to my Volvo.

How does that foot taste?

However, welcome to the forum =)

Battle.Net had its time, which came and went.  Things change, people change.  Those were good times, but they are over for me.  I think even when Starcraft 2 comes out, I will not be doing the same things on battle.net as before.  I really doubt most of Valhalla Legends cares much for that scene (in its previous incarnation of attitude) any more, or will again in the future.  Everyone has new interests and finds their challenges in different things.

Of course, I could just be speaking for myself.

Grats on the victory!

I know I'm bumping a 4-month old post, but I'll do it anyway.  I've been doing Java programming for about 3 years.  This summer I got into C# a lot more, and while not far into it, I have some preferences already.

The biggest difference for me so far, is creating and consuming C# accessor and mutator methods feel a lot more natural than in Java.  Perhaps my bias comes from having used classic VB for years, but I just don't like
Java's:
  MyObject.setMyProperty(value)
  value=MyObject.getMyProperty()
as much as
C#'s:
  MyObject.MyProperty = value;
  value = MyObject.MyProperty

With Java, you end up with twice the number of method names than in C#, creating the impression that your classes are a lot more complicated than necessary.

Oh and a pet peeve, most Java book authors frequently mistake PascalCase for camelCase when discussing naming conventions.

Grats!  Archimonde is a pain in the ass until everyone "gets it", then let the farming begin.  Great loot though, what did you get?

muthafukkin GROK is going to be the devastatingly awesome python web development solution soon. you just wait.

Python.  That will never happen.

Grok does your phone get text messages? Do you even look at your phone?

Hehe, yup.  You're a silly one, Hostile.

I don't believe I even mentioned CD players.

What I'm looking for is an mp3 device in which the UI and database elements are programmable, such that significant customization can be done by someone willing to put in the time.

If you've no experience with such a device, find another thread in which to contribute.

programmable mp3 player - http://www.wirelesshut.com/0/10356020.html

Hmm, so, it does not indicate the language platform supported.  How long have you owned this mp3 player, and what type of API did it provide?  Did you write your code on the PC and upload it to the player?

I'm looking to buy my first portable MP3 player.  Yup, first.  Primary feature I'd like is for the UI and database to be programmable.  Maybe Java?  I'm supposing one would write the code on a PC virtual mp3 player environment and upload it to the mp3 player to test and run.

The reason I want it programmable is how certain I will be unhappy with whatever menu, grouping, and filter system provided by the manufacturer's default software.

Is anyone using such an mp3 player and have comments?

Asking here BEFORE I go do my untargeted searches.
