Socialism : A simple test to understand it



An economics professor at a local college made a statement that he had never failed a single student before, but had recently failed an entire class. That class had insisted that Obama's socialism worked and that no one would be poor and no one would be rich, a great equalizer.
The professor then said, "OK, we will have an experiment in this class on Obama's plan". All grades will be averaged and everyone will receive the same grade so no one will fail and no one will receive an A.... (substituting grades for dollars - something closer to home and more readily understood by all).
After the first test, the grades were averaged and everyone got a B. The students who studied hard were upset and the students who studied little were happy. As the second test rolled around, the students who studied little had studied even less and the ones who studied hard decided they wanted a free ride too so they studied little..
The second test average was a D! No one was happy. When the 3rd test rolled around, the average was an F. As the tests proceeded, the scores never increased as bickering, blame and name-calling all resulted in hard feelings and no one would study for the benefit of anyone else. To their great surprise, ALL FAILED and the professor told them that socialism would also ultimately fail because when the reward is great, the effort to succeed is great, but when government takes all the reward away, no one will try or want to succeed. It could not be any simpler than that.
Remember, there IS a test coming up. The 2012 elections.

These are possibly the 5 best sentences you'll ever read and all applicable to this experiment:
1. You cannot legislate the poor into prosperity by legislating the wealthy out of prosperity.
2. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.
3. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.
4. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it!
5. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that is the beginning of the end of any nation.

Listener refused the connection due to NetExcepti​on

I was testing some piece of code for calculation of new date on the basis of a given pattern and the specified date. I wrote a method to automate the test cases to generates those patterns and calculate the new date for each date of the specified date of the range of years. Since there were around 1 million pattern test cases are possible, so I want to insert this data in database for any future reference. After creating a pattern I was inserting data of the pattern and the calculation date along with the calculated date. It was working fine. I was prepare to hit the start button now, after testing different patterns individually. I hit the run button and it started its executions, but in the middle, I got this error. java.sql.SQLException: Listener refused the connection with the following error:ORA-12516, TNS:listener could not find available handler with matching protocol stack       at oracle.jdbc.driver.T4CConnection.logon(T4CConnection.java:4...

Index Fast Full Scan

Index Fast Full Scan is one of the index access methods supported by Oracle. Index Fast Full Scan is otherwise called as Fast Full Index Scan also. Index Fast Full Scan can be imposed by Oracle Optimizer only in the certain scenario. The scenario where this index would be invoked is, Whenever the Oracle SQL optimizer detects that the query is serviceable without touching table rows, Oracle invokes this fast full index scan and quickly reads every block of the index without touching the table itself provided that query doesn’t contain any ORDER BY clause. The definition for this scan is more or less similar to the index full scan but the only difference is that former  will be invoked when ORDER BY clause is not mentioned in the query. It differs from the index full scan in another way where output won’t be in the sorted order since ORDER BY clause is not mentioned. If Oracle detects the query is serviceable without touching the table rows, it means, all the columns mentioned i...

B*TREE non-unique index

In continuation with the last chapter , B*Tree with unique index, here are some thoughts on B*Tree with non unique index. DEFINITION: B*TREE non-unique index is one of the index types that is supported by oracle. If this index is imposed on a column, then all the non-null values don’t need to be unique. It means this index allows NULL value to be stored in the column of the table and all the non-NULL values can be same as well as different too. But all the index values in the index table would be unique. This is achieved by grouping all the ROWIDs of a single index value in a single index record. It means if 3 table records are there for a single value in a column on which this non-unique index is created, then in the index table, you will find only one index record but all these 3 ROWIDS would be mapped. This non-unique index can be created on a single column or more than one column. More than one non-unique index can be created for the same data table. HOW TO VERIFY: How to verif...
