    What words would you want banned?

    no words should be banned. Banning words is the beginning of controlling thought, which can only lead to oppression.

    Big Brother across the sea

    When you start giving the government the authority to determine what's "safe" for you to access, don't be surprised if you very quickly can't access anything the government doesn't like, like information about corruption within its organisation, political opinions that are counter to its ideas...

    Including an outside resourse in your web app

    any decently secured webserver won't allow you to access anything outside the context root of your web application.

    Cutting A Gold Bar

    4 pieces max. Cut in half, put pieces on top of each other, cut the stack. But that might be bending the rules a bit :)

    Drag & Drop Development

    you'd still need people to write the tools that allow others to do their drag and drop programming... The sales story of course is that the manager can just write down what he wants in natural language and the generator will understand that and chug out a fully working system, obviating the...

    yup. Especially if it was an expensive lunch paid for by a salesperson...

    Misinterpreted song lyrics

    pretty much all R.E.M. tracks except for the last few years. Deliberately sung in such a way that they're very easy to misinterpret on hearing (and even easier to not decipher properly even if you do get the text correct).

    Data was or data were

    Actually, if it isn't plural then you should also take out "all". " Wrong. Data is singular in the context provided. Its use is similar to that of "people", which can be both singular and plural depending on context. In this context "all data" (which should technically be "all of the data")...

    House of Lords report into Personal Internet Security

    the interpretation of the rules in at least the Netherlands also include complete logs of all other data (though indeed not the data itself). The EU directive indeed doesn't mention content explicitly, and at least in the Netherlands it has been decided to not include content after largescale...

    Cutting A Gold Bar

    indeed, they'd just hire someone to make more cuts as needed... Or they made sure they ordered gold bars from the gold bar maker that were the right size for paying exactly the amount needed.

    House of Lords report into Personal Internet Security

    For the introduction of vendor liability for security breaches - what happens in the case of open source software where there is no one vendor?" Most likely the liability will be placed on the easiest to hit target, the ISP responsible for giving the user access to that software or the hosting...

    Drag & Drop Development

    There have been claims that "real soon now" there will be no more need for programming and all you need to do to create software is input your business requirements into some system as a sort of flowchart and it will spit out a fully working system a few minutes later for at least a decade...

    Array reference not working in put method

    you shouldn't use any Java code in JSPs, only JSTL and custom taglibs... But as to your question: do look closely. What are you putting into your Map the second time around? Is there even an entry "firstname" in there? Or an entry "lastname"? The answer of course is a resounding NO. Your Map...

    JSP Form Validation

    Look at Spring (and for this especially Spring MVC) ( http://www.springframework.org ). Makes validation a breeze (and integrates nicely with ORM tools like Hibernate and iBatis as well to make database access from your controllers smooth).

    Communication between two web applications running on different tomcat

    You could install some sort of messaging system (like JMS or JAX-WS) to pass information around, but easiest is to just use a database that both applications have access to.

    Do you use Polish notation? Why or why not?

    Hungarian notation is inherently evil. It makes refactoring implicitly impossible and creates hard dependencies between parameters and their types which is a bad thing. Just look at the Win32 API for some excellent examples. Many of the 32 bit integer fields there have type names which...

    a ready to use application that does CRUD

    but the answer to your question is: yes, there are.

    Identifying Method Headers in Source Code Files

    and the definition of what a line looks like that defines a method is also flawed. A method declaration can span multiple lines, and for short methods might contain the method body as well.

    Using Calander Class get Current Date and compare

    1) check for deprecated APIs in the Date and Calendar classes, if memory serves you're using several of them. 2) consider what the data is that is filling your current date when you do Calendar.getInstance() and what data you are comparing it to. hint: Consider that Calendar can be used with...

    Best tool for creating GUI interfaces

    The best way to create GUIs is by hand using a text editor. That way you also avoid the problems Noble faced of having your GUI do something you don't understand and instead of blaming yourself for not understanding what's going on blaming the tool you used to create that GUI.
