In the following piece of Java code:
client.register(selector, SelectionKey.OP_READ);

On first glance it would seem that you are registering selector with client, but you are registering client with selector. Why isn't register a method of selector ?

I'd like to learn how to be happy.






If that's too much, I'd settle for learning how to synthesize opiates from items that can be found in any drugstore.

I'd like to learn how to do the following:

1. Play the harmonica.
2. Kill someone using pressure points on the body.
3. Hypnotize people.
4. Increase my passive income so I can quit my 9-5 job.
5. Drive a stick, so my next car won't be a wuss-mobile.
6. Pleasure a woman.
7. Pleasure a woman well.
8. Speed-read.
9. Widdle wood.
10. Shoot a bow & arrow.

Can't think of any more at the moment. :)

Would like to program a heck of a lot better and in more languages. All I've done so far are school assignments in C++, Java, and Scheme (variant of LISP)

I'd like to be a good carpenter, be able to stain stuff, that kinda thing. And when I say stain stuff, I mean stuff other than bradruth's police uniform.

Ordered this on Thursday in an attempt to tackle Monte Carlo Methods. Herzog produces excellent text (had the pleasure of meeting him at a talk in Nashville), and thus am looking forward to this book.

Stain stuff like the NAILS ON YOUR CROSS?

Yeah, I'm drunk. So what?

I want to learn how to make webpages. I have zero knowledge in the area, I need a tutorial or something that goes step by step.
