IntelliJ IDEA If you use IntelliJ 4.0 to check out projects from CVS make sure you click the "Change keyword substitution" to binary button in the CVS checkout procedure. Failure to do this could cause your project to fail to compile since the jar files will be corrupt.

IntelliJ IDEA, the Java development tool that I am liking more and more, uses log4J to build a log file that is stored as : USER_HOME\.IntelliJIdea\system\log\idea.log

(On my windows installation, USER_HOME is C:\Documents and Settings\timcguir )

This file has lots of information about the internal workings of IDEA and has error messages that explained to me why the IDEA GUI Builder wasn't working like I expected.

The ultimate icon, though, is the self. Soak that in a beaker of urine and I will be impressed.

Back when everything depended on the little idol that you worshiped as a group, it was rare for someone to walk in and stomp the idol to dust just to see your reaction. 9 times out of ten, the person would be dead. Every once in a while, the people worshiping would look at each other and say, "you know, he's right, this is all bullshit". Today, we have plenty of icon stompers and if I wanted to be one and I went into some center and stomped on their little statues, they would be like, "thanks.... its been a good 5 minutes since anyone did that." So it is tough times for iconoclasts. There are very few icons left to clast.
