Just for clarification, what do you call exam? Around here, an exam covers the entire semester, so it doesn't make sense to do more than one. If it only covers part of the semester, we just call it a test. Generally speaking, a course either has one exam to be made at the end of the semester or 2+ t...

So, now I have to figure out what to do to a student who slept through the last exam... Why do they do this to me? xander How many exam dates do you guys have? We generally have two plus an extra date for worker students and stuff like date. Which means that sleeping through the last date is consid...

Today a friend of mine was cremated. Died at only 32 due to cancer. I am sick of going to so many funerals. I had come here to make a joke regarding the new Godzilla movie (which I just watched), but now that would just suck :/ My most sincere condolences, that truly sucks, and I do hope you won't ...

Java has the advantage of being friendly and clean. Everything is an object instance, there are no header files, it has automatic memory management (i.e. no fussing around with pointers), among others. Essentially this means that if efficiency isn't a huge concern, Java is just a nice environment. A...

Mathematica is fine, but s...l...o...w... FORTRAN is more betterer. FORTRAN is a lower level language, so I would expect it to be faster. But like I said, this was in my previous degree, I have no use for either of those languages now, as one of my teachers noted last week: if you want efficiency y...

FORTRAN maybe isn't so useful. ;) Do you think I would have managed to avoid it if it was? ;) In fact my only contact with it was in my previous degree where they wanted us to make a project using it (but we convinced the teachers to change to Mathematica, which we had used before in a different co...

You know, it's kind of funny that I've used more languages than I can remember, but FORTRAN was the one I (barely) managed to avoid

The question is designed to test Java knowledge, so... no.

You failed, btw

So, this was a short coding exercise we were presented today (in Java): public class Example { public static void main(String [] args) { System.out.println("Firefox"); http://www.google.com System.out.println("Chrome"); } } What would this code do when compiled/run and why.

I've just been informed that one of my dogs has died.

We were aware that she had what appeared to be a tumor, but thought it was localized and delayed a bit. Apparently it had spread into the lungs.
My mother gave the go ahead to put her to sleep today.

I didn't get to say goodbye.

He's also not name Hitler.

Seems like my Desktop PC has given up the ghost, so it's time for an upgrade (probably it's just a faulty power source, but since the whole thing is 5-6 years old and had already given me problems in most other parts I'll likely go full hog)

Specs suggestions?

I wish to live the rest of my life in the spring and summer, but never in the fall and winter, while staying alive and well for at least the next 5 years. You build a house on top of the equatorial line and live in the northern half during half the year, and on the southern half the rest of the tim...

How the hell does this qualify as "perfect health"?

I wish that every person in the world capable of doing so would willingly make an electronic transfer of $1 into my bank account. Wish granted, but between conversion fees, transfer fees, and various taxes, you end up hundreds of thousand of dollars in debt. I wish for perfect health for the remain...
