It just struck me, in a sardonic sort of way, that Comodo is the company behind a personal firewall I considered using a while ago. The irony being that their stated reason for the free security products they put out is to get their name out for their main line of business, SSL certs.
@TimStone BTW, I didn't get that job. :( However, I'm doing a brain-dump right now of possible issues. So, at least, some good will come of the exercise.
Thanks, guys. I'm only disappointed because I need work. While it would have been welcome experience for me, that job didn't seem to be quite what they billed it as.
Anyone know what to recommend someone looking for a new PC? They are asking about a Dell with a Pentium Dual Core and integrated graphics and no monitor.
@mootinator I haven't seriously played a video game in over 9 months. I gave OpentTTD a spin a little while ago, but I just can't get into gaming with the pressing issue of finding work on my mind.
It is available for all platforms. @GeorgeMarian I may have to give it another go too, if you decide to play. I dunno if my MacBook can handle it though.
I know. It's an HP. that's why I advise staying away from HP. Overheating issues are part of thier legacy. Dell's legacy is cheap junk. Toshiba, Acer, Asus and Lenovo share a legacy of poor driver sites. Apple is too expensive. The moral: don't use a laptop.
@Trufa I have no idea why that's the case. By convention, the parameter is named "self," but that's only convention. Also, you don't have to pass in anything for that parameter, it's done for you automagically.
For one, most languages provide '"self" as a keyword. Second, you have to remember to include it in the method signature, but not include it when calling the method.
@Trufa Yeah, that's pretty nice. I like the list functionality.
@Trufa Well, you have to follow your passion. It's much easier to deal w/ the BS (which will always exist in some form) when you're doing something you enjoy.
@SheikhAman You'll need to have a moderator unfreeze the room (or at least I'm pretty sure that it's a moderator ability, otherwise it's just limited to devs).
Not as of now, I am an Android developer and the Android Help room is quite active. I created the Tester's talk for testing professionals, but not many testing professionals seem to be here
And can I delete a room that I created for me and one other user? as we both don't use it anymore
I think I accidentally started the Barendrecht one, because Latitude had last seen me there. I'd much rather have it in Utrecht to be more central or Arnhem so you can come too ;P
A new feature has been deployed that lets you click your flag weight to be brought to a summary of your flag history. If your flag weight is not visible (on account of sitting at 100), you can also access this by going to <siteurl>/users/flag-weight/<userid>, substituting for the site...
@Pekka - I was listening to the pronunciation of numbers. The "g" at the end sounded like "ich". Hundred funf vierzig. The end of vierzig was a little funny.
@Pekkastrollingaccount how would h¡you say crazy fat bastard (my cousin said that to me consatly) :) not the literal, it is just a (austrian) expressions that roughly means that...
Hmm. I just saw a new SO question that is an exact dupe... of something I asked on Programmers SE.
Assuming for the sake of argument that it is a legitimate dupe, is the correct action on SO to close as off-topic or close with migrate vote for Programmers?
While doing my pre-research for this question, I found that there isn't much well-organized information about Java Swing best practices out there on the Internet. So I figure I'll give Stack Exchange a shot at building that One Great List.
What are the best practices of Java Swing development? W...
@drachenstern ok. You were the top and you've fallen a few. Anyhow, I'm seriously considering spicing up the UI now with some color. What do you think?
@Moshe I figured I would have, I ought to come over there and score a 20b score or something. Also, I got testing 0-score (don't know if you can see achievements)
I would not do color. (***until you redesign the icon :p ***)
@PopularDemand so why not shame the dupe? I can't seem to find it with a cursory search
As a contrast to this wiki, I am looking for the proper way to implement Swing GUI controls from a coding standpoint.
I have been on a quest to learn Java and its GUI tools but I find internet tutorial after internet tutorial that throws everything in main and I know this isn't right.

@MichaelMrozek Well, congratulations. You seemed so eager that I decided to click on your link instead of @badpssockpuppet's one-second-earlier link. Your reward: I blame you.
