Well obviously you need to install it. The second step I would recommend is setting up the “JAVA_HOME” variable to point to the JDK installation directory. Most Java apps (Tomcat…etc) will look for that when they startup.
I would download Eclipse (eclipse.org) and play around with it. Also try out NetBeans (netbeans.org).
Learn ant (and eventually maven). it will serve you well.

Help is not getting shut down, and I’m getting really annoyed with this persistent rumor.
I don’t know how else to communicate this.
Stop stirring this rumor up by posting about it?
2008-06-27 12:07:45 on Any good place to get Gimp tutorials?
Google is your friend — and of course getting to learn it through practice
just google gimp tuitorials — you’ll get all sorts of crazy results like: http://www.gimp.org/tutorials/

No one hacked into anything. The user downloaded the Avatar and used it as his own.

[quote Cookie Dough!]…I presume, being a Chem Masters graduate that you’re pretty good with number-crunching/ Excel? If you are, then have you considered Performance Analyst positions in the big asset management companies? I started out in this field, but then moved to Investment Consulting, which also pays well but requires some pretty in-depth investment knowledge, CFA exams, etc……Cookie Xx[/quote]Cookie has a good point, in fact I didn’t even think of a business type position ( you’ll have to forgive my own bias).For fun, if you have the time you might want to read up on Jack Welch, who got his phd in chemical engineering, started off in GE’s plastics division and eventually worked his way up to ceo.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jack_Welch

Not really. Don’t get caught up on the degree / experience requirements. If an employer likes you they’ll look right past it — don’t be shy about applying for things with steep requirements — let them weed you out — don’t weed yourself out for them (within reason, don’t apply for senior positions obviously)

Look around for entry level software engineering positions (don’t look at web-design type stuff).
Work on your GNU/Linux skills, and look at distributed frameworks like Hadoop/PIG
They will help you crunch large data-sets when you finally go for your Ph.D

I thought of it. Unfortunately they prevent me from having physical access to the hardware…

party no where…

2008-04-21 10:38:57 on Why are some long term users allowed to put up any image they want in posts or shouts.
[quote ♥Rαvεr♥][quote Jebus Zeus (CoalMan)]and im not friends with alot of mods and get no special attention except to be used as an example by a**holes like you[/quote]
:o ommmm lol.
That pic is cool. But still. I think that some people would get banned for that and some people wouldn’t. It depends ‘who’ it is who complains about it though i think. If that makes sense.[/quote]
That is half of it, it also depends on who responds to the complaint. Remember, the mods are chosen from the community, they are your peers. They are not employee’s and they don’t all act as one. They all have different backgrounds and beliefs that guide what they find offensive and what they don’t.

A) One text is tiny. One is big red letters. Clearly one is more important.B) Thank you for pointing out that inconsistency, the two messages don’t make sense on the same page.
I removed that last bit. The flag feature is really for alerting us to bugs, site problems or violations of the TOS. Not idle chit-chat.
