megaplaza:
please don't use any inbuilt function that handles such task. here is a sample of my solution

and what have you done in the lines below. I dont know Java but those look like case conversion functons to me. I was curious to see how you could achieve this feat woithout using them.

String words = str.toLowerCase();
upperCasedWords.append(Character.toUpperCase(word[i].charAt(0))).append(word

i am surprise that no one can notice that those pictures are photoshoped,
i am a professional photography, and there is nothing real about all those pictures, are dont even look smooth to be a snapped picture.
who ever did that work is still learning digital editing cos the picture is so rough.
HABA nairaland, we are smarter than dis. Lets know a photoshoped pic if we see one

Now we know what sort of professional photograppher you are

Dude, this issue has been on the news for the last 3 days or so. Even now, the video is on the front page at yahoo. Spend some time away from NL. Check the news websites sometimes too.

Software testing is actually a very rewarding career in IT. A key aspect of it is penetration testing. This has become invaluable especially with the rise of kid hackers intent on breaking into every major corporation website. Think of hacker groups like Annonymous, Lulzsec etc. Realise the danger they pose to corporate information security and you would know why penetration testers earn a lot.

Penetration testers exercise an application in order to identify security loopholes so developers can patch them. They are different from other types of tester who may be focused on performance issues like load and stress testing or general quality assurance. You have to have the mindset of a hacker to be a good performace tester. You need good knowledge of networking, programming and operating systems like UNIX. You have to know the common vulnerabilities associated with certain systems/operating systems. Penetration testers are basically white-hat hackers.

You need not be a penetration testers to benefit from software testing. Automated testers and manual testers simply exercise systems to ensure they are built to conform to business requirements. You use testing tools for your activity or you write programmes to automate certain test functionalities. An automated testter would need to know a bit about programming. Knowing any of VBScript, php, java, javascript would help a lot. A manual tester need not be a programmer.

For example, on a site like nairaland, testers would check through all the menu systems, buttons etc every unit of the site to ensure they are functioning without errors and according to how Seun has stated in an initial website requirements document. Business analysts would have sat down with Seun to map out and agree on these requirements before development starts. Of course requirements can change in future. Afterall the business owner is funding the project. How dare you think he cant come up with changes to the website features. Of course drastic changes would affect fees too .

As a software tester, you would be rubbing shoulders with Business Analysts, programmers (developers), Project managers, Business owners etc. I dare say developers generally dread very good testers because they have a sharp eye and can spot a bug from 20 desks away. This calls for maturity and effective comminucation. Developers do their job at great expense to their grey cells. Imagine a code that took a week to develop and you came from nowhere to find a bug in it within minutes of implementation. The programmer wouldn't like you a lot - depending on how you present your case.

Testing requires logical thinking and a break it mindset. Your whole purpose is to identify loopholes and bugs in a system. Your daily activity would be to write and execute "Test Cases" to verify and validate system behaviours.

I'll kick this off with Conqueror by Orits Wiliki. Where is Mr Wiliki these days? This song brings back great memories from when I was growing up. I particularly remember one cassette seller in those days who would go around the neigborhood blasting this song on his radio while selling tapes.

Am putting up www.rhetoheat.com for sale. I have done too much work on the site to shut it down. The requirements of a new employment has made it impossible to carry on with the website.

The site was built with Drupal and is quite easy to manage. Site is fully indexed by Google etc. I will offer additional support and initial tutorial on how to manage it also. Lets negotiate. Use contact form on the site (on the lower side of site) to reach me.

Many people are very fragile emotionally and mentally. They have been born that way. It doesn't show on the face. These problems become apparent during trying emotional issues for example "separation" from a loved one as suffered by the victim here. Many posters here are appalled by it but very vulnerable people like the victim do exist and do stuff because of underlying and undetected mental health issues. Its not about maturity or developing thick skin.

The singular most important problem every sane government should think about is steady Electricity[color=#000099][/color]. Its no coincidence electricity is called POWER.

With electricity, every other thing falls into place. Every other form of development is POWERED. Industrial development, stable investments from home and abroad, a healthy lifestyle etc

The things people will do for life abroad 
A Jamaican smuggled a razor aboard the aircraft as he was about to be deported and then slashed his own throat. While he was rushed to hospital, the rest of the passengers were kept in a hotel. At least he gained a few more days in custody in UK. Those immi people never relent. Trust me, he will be nursed back to his senses and then put back on the next plane bound for Kingston, Jamaica.

don't let anyone deceive you. you know what you are doing is wrong, that is why you asked. you are probably asking to get supporters behind you.

These are two adults: One aged 30, the other 25. What wrong with them having a relationship? She hasn't even mentioned going to bed with him. Or is that what you were against?

avosoft:

[list]
[li]You are 30, and you know where you are heading, is he in the same frame of mind?[/li]
[li]women don't always respect anyone they know they are older than even if some months old. will you obey him if he say "site down here or there"?[/li]
[li]what is the future/plans of this relationship(marriage wise or just for fun)?[/li]
[li]Am i with him because of things that will quickly fade (handsome, hard working in bed, popular, buoyant etc)[/li]
[li]Can you honestly present him, to you parent and they will be ok that at least he's mature enough?[/li]
[/list]

All these are fundamental issues to be dealt with in any relationship. It is not peculiar to this case in any way.
Would you be comfortable if the boy was older?

U have to be joking!
Web developer or designer?
which one?
U mean a novice can learn php+html in 3 days?

Whats the need to crack your brain over a solved problem?
The OP belongs to a bygone age where only a few people shared knowledge. The bubble burst with the open source revolution.

The easiest way people make money online is through "hype". They simply sell "how to make money online" ideas. They hype up a false image of themselves lying in bed in their bathrobes while their web ventures supply a steady stream of cash. Thay can even post "doctored" photos of themselves holding fat paychecks from Google and other affliate marketting companies. Of course these guys know all about affiliate marketing, Adsensense marketting and many other x "marketing" models you may think of. They are also fluid and fast talking salesmen who would make you buy an extra stuff you dont need.

After a while, the scheme pays because a lot of people begin to believe them and actually pay for their videos, blog subscription, lectures, books etc. Tha cash starts to roll in.

Think of it, in the end: Thay are actually making money online! BUT, they started by projecting a false image of themselve.

I was wondering what on earth is "Quinns" until I saw the photo of the kids and mom. I guess the only thing wrong about this whole affair is the word "Quinns". How difficult is it to type "Quintuplets". In the same condition, I would do the same. Get the best medical care you can. Good luck to her.

Joagbaje:

If there is repentance and confession, case closed. A minister has no business reporting confidential confession to police.

Lord knows how many crimes have gone undectected this way. There is limit to the rules of confidentiality especially when life is in danger or life has been tampered with. You supposition means a serial burglar can keep committing his crime provided he goes every other sunday to have a tearfull chat with the local priesthood.

cgift:

If the law of the land is superior in which case the state is a secular one, then the priets must disclose the information to the relevant authority especially if he knows there is a search for the man. IF there is no search for the killer, it may be another issue altogether.

So its only in a secular state that certain individuals should report crimes to the police?
Tell me, will this same priest call the police assuming he gets robbed?
Would he keep it to himself as well since, obviously, the bible says we should turn the left cheek and forgive those who wrong us?

carbonsyb:

Look up d meaning of jargon in d dico and save yrself d stress of unnecessary outpour.

Despite his earlier cynical conjecture, he could not help dabbling into the rhetorical melee. His last treatise attests to that.

EASYPHP should install phpmyadmin which should allow you access mysql easily.

Jeel:

He dare not

By that, do you mean a law abiding citizen (the priest) should knowingly conceal information about a crime?

kasiem:

The most ecclectic conumdrum can be demystified and made jejune with spirit of tenacity, which is inherent in bullish people, who sees it implausible to be lackadaiscal in life. That's the reason behind the proving of their mettle in every supposed complexity.

Albeit the above is an unequivocal fact of life, I still percieve a certain hilarity in the language construct.

Teacher wan teach me nonsense.
Mr. Get your shi+t right before unleashing it on the world

Confessions in the Catholic church is meant to be confidential - between the priest and the confessor. What happens if a confessor tells the priest he had just raped a woman or that he killed someone? Should the priest go ahead and prescribe prayers for forgiveness or report to the police?

You need to give more infor:

Mr Serendipity

I did spot the error but I was constrained by Nairaland’s overbearing editing policies to effect a correction. Each time, my exertions were nullified and I got this undignified error missive that my editing rights had been curbed.

Nevertheless, I applaud your fastidiousness in unearthing this minor misdemeanour of my computer keyboard.

Never heard of access being used for web based application. I only know of either MySql, Oracle or Sql Server. I thought access is suited only for small ofline applications. I could be wrong. You should be ok with MS Sql Server. You can also get MySQL free.

INFATUATION develops into LOVE. Somewhere inbetween lies LUST.

Doesn't always happen that way though  

Show off your rhetorical prowess in English. Make sure the grammar/ spelling is correct. Let it be original. Any subject welcome. I'll kick this off by saying this:
