This is a pretty dumb question but still I want to confirm this... See the following code :

for(int i = 0; i < words.length; i++) {
// doing something here ..
}

Now for each iteration, is the words.length calculated ? I think the JVM is clever enough to replace words.length with the value and its not calculated everytime. Can someone confirm this ?

Sura 29:27 states clearly that, as far as Allah and the Qur'an are concerned, the only true prophets are those related to Isaac (Ishaq) or Jacob (Yaqoub); yet Muhammad, according to Muslim tradition, is related to Ishmael and not Isaac or Jacob

If it is then islam is just sad

Ok so say YOU started seein some1 & u connected right from the start u thought they were perfect & visa versa. But the other person wasn't lookin 4 a proper relationship at that stage. (I know some of u will say that is bulls***t! but it does happen I hav felt like that b4 & so have a few of my friends, as u just feel that u don't want to hav to answer to anyone & u just don't want to feel tied down at that stage no matter how well u get on wit that person! But what if in the process of u 2 bein 2gether that person messed u about due to the fact that they were confused about what they wanted due to thier inability to commit at the time & in the process hurt u. Would YOU when movin on intend to never b with that person again? Due 2 the fact that they messed u about & didn't put u 1st priority? & if u had gone ur seperate ways & after time the other person HAD realised how much of a quality & asset U are & wanted U bac would you giv them another chance?or would u decline & jus b friends?

I'm having trouble figuring out his body language. He completely gets into our conversations and is interested in talking to me, but when it comes time that we could possibly have some one on one time just to talk, he's nowhere to be found, or off with his other friends. I've walked up to him and started conversations, but he rarely comes up to me. Once the conversation is started, it takes off in all directions and we have plenty to talk about.

I'm just wondering how I know that he is (if he is) interested in me like I am interested in him. Or am I just somebody to have a conversation with to pass the time?

If he is in fact interested in me, I will have to build up a bunch of courage to ask him out if he doesn't ask me first.

I really want to take our friendship further, and possibly date him, but I'm just kinda stuck and I don't know what to think.

A young boy comes down to breakfast one morning. His mother asks, "Have you done your chores yet?"
"No," replies the boy, "but could I have breakfast first?"

"You know the rules, go outside and clean the chicken coop, milk the cow & feed the pigs."

The boy goes down to the chicken coop and lazily cleans it. When he is finished he he kicks a chicken. Next, we walks to the barn and takes out the old milking cow. After milking her thoroughly, he kicks her. Then the boy gets the food and feeds the pigs. Once he is done he kicks a pig.

Finally, the boy runs back to his house, very hungry. His mother gives him a plate with nothing on it but an apple. Disappointed, the boy says, "Where's my eggs, my milk and my sausage?"

"Well," says his mother, "I saw you kick a chicken, so now you don't get eggs. I saw you kick the cow, so now you don't get milk. I saw you kick the pig, so now you don't get any sausage."

As I age I think more clearly
Of the things I hold more dearly
I use to think the more I had
Would make me rich, make me glad

Now I look around and see
What really now means more to me
A simple hug, can start my day
I feel content, will never stray

I never thought that I’d be saying
That I’m done with games and playing
All and all, I have to say
That in my youth, I liked to play

But now, I’d rather spend my time
Telling kids a nursery rhyme
I never knew that from a book
Could warm my hear, just from their look

For those who feel they still have greed
Never helping those with need
Just invite them to a place
Buy their meal, and say grace

There will always be strife in the Middle-East, its been like that for as long as civilization has been around. But when western politicians meddle in the affairs of of other countries, more often things get far worse than if they never meddled in the first place.

As it is, not just our troops in Iraq, we have two U.S. carrier battle groups there showing the flag, its too easy to tempt fate with the limited capabilities of those who can provoke the Navy into a conflagaration, since the navy has advanced tactical weaponry that can easily escalate a bad situation into something completely ugly & out of control.

It seems like the west is easily doing what the fanatics want them to do. To invoke the jihad.

My doctor advise that I lose weight asap, and watch my sugar intake. I'm 23, 5'8", 262lbs. I'd like to get way down, and lose a 100lbs. I live in an isolated town where you have very very limited food options (processed foods are cheaper & fresher than 'real, whole' foods). We have free weights, and a weight machine here in my house, but I really don't know how to use it. I started keeping a food journal, and write in it every day, with what i ate, when i ate it, and how much of it i ate. So far I've cut down and watch what I eat. What else can I do? Does anyone know of any great sites I can check out about weight training and calorie intake? I'd like to know a site that shows me how much calories are in foods, etc. Thanks for taking the time to read this and help me find a solution. Oh and as you know its winter outside, here its normal for -37c, and about 5 feet of snow, so going for a run isnt an option :P

Have you ever thought that if you replace one letter in Carl Sagan's last name, you get Satan?

And what about Dawkins? Is it eerily similar to Darwin, or is it just me? And what about Hawking? Similar to Dawkins...

There's something fishy going on around here, and I intend to get to the bottom of it!
