AI Thread Summary
To start practicing Java programs on a PC, the essential tool is the Java Development Kit (JDK), which can be downloaded from Oracle's official website. For an integrated development environment (IDE), Eclipse is the recommended choice, providing a user-friendly GUI and a robust debugging tool. While it's possible to write Java code in a simple text editor like Notepad, using Eclipse streamlines the coding process by allowing users to compile and run programs within the same interface. For beginners, watching tutorial videos can help in understanding how to effectively use Eclipse and its features.

The "standard" free Java IDE these days is Eclipse, from: http://eclipse.org/
Once you un-cross your eyes after reading about it and trying to figure out how to use it, it's actually a pretty good toolset. I believe you will still need to download a Java Development Kit (JDK) as uart says above. The JDK will give you all the stuff you really need to compile and run programs from a console window, but Eclipse puts it all into a nice GUI and has a "fairly intuitive" debugger.
 
Thank you for helping me. I have installed Java JDK 7 for windows x86. Now, where should I write program and run? Is there any interface where I could write the code and compile in it? Should I use Notepad?

Thread 'Is this public key encryption?'

I've tried to intuit public key encryption but never quite managed. But this seems to wrap it up in a bow. This seems to be a very elegant way of transmitting a message publicly that only the sender and receiver can decipher. Is this how PKE works? No, it cant be. In the above case, the requester knows the target's "secret" key - because they have his ID, and therefore knows his birthdate.

Thread 'Who is responsible for the software when AI takes over programming?'

I tried a web search "the loss of programming ", and found an article saying that all aspects of writing, developing, and testing software programs will one day all be handled through artificial intelligence. One must wonder then, who is responsible. WHO is responsible for any problems, bugs, deficiencies, or whatever malfunctions which the programs make their users endure? Things may work wrong however the "wrong" happens. AI needs to fix the problems for the users. Any way to...
