Let's be honest: in polite company you never introduce yourself as a "domainer." It's like introducing yourself as a "slumlord" or "pimp"...and it's just one half-step above "lawyer" for goodness sakes. No, I'm sure your business cards say that you're in some kind of Internet "real estate" business, and your spouse has told your inlaws that you work for "an Internet start-up." The truth -- that you've squandered your life savings on thousands of domain names that you're spending hours a day trying to monetize with Internet traffic -- is just too weird, pathetic or frightening for most common folk. "Ah, you're that &*%$# Orbitz pop up guy that grabs my browser every day," they'd say, if they knew the truth. We're not popular. So let's start shaping ourselves up, shall we? A review of domainers' worst practices is as good a place to start as any. So here, one at a time, in a series, are the ten worst domainer practices. 10. Meaningless Links 
Whenever you add a link to your sites, make sure it's a meaningful link. Make sure your site is relevant to what a user on the other page might be seeking. This means you have to let inbound traffic build organically, without the shortcut of carpet bombing the Internet with your link. Site operators don't appreciate it when you add a meaningless link to their site. And the search engines don't fall for them either. Good SEO experts know this, but many new domainers, who do their own SEO themselves, don't. Some people call this practice "blogspam." Whatever it is, it's just plain annoying. So now that you know the truth, stop it. You're making a pest of yourself.

I tell people I'm a web designer. The problem then is that half of them want to hire me to develop a website. Maybe I ought to hook up with a real web design firm and get a commission.

Wael, I'm also a web designer and it's been fun throughout the years using a "correct title" that 1) explains people what I do in one quick, easy word 2) doesn't invoke millions of time wasting questions 3) doesn't open myself for unprofitable and tire kicking work. Lately, I just say I'm a "graphic designer". Usually that's enough. If they push further I don't mind explaining what domaining is. But from the web design perspective, I just got tired of explaining myself through the years.

Pretty funny that this post is one of the few on your site that isn't filled with blog spam. Maybe spammers do read!..... Nah, I think it's just that this is a low PR page
 Unfortunately, the same mentality goes with blog spammers as with those guys that fill up your mailbox with ads you don't want, or pester you on the phone even when you just hang up on them. When you blast it out to enough people, someone will take it. Email and blog spam is cheap, it only takes time and there are people out there with a lot of it.

try to express the query in HQL or CRiteria, then if you cannot find a way to express your query in this way, try to see around the web if someone already solved a similar problem. Then if still you do not come to a solution try to ask on the forum, and if you still does not have a solution, maybe you really need SQL.
Quite often people are skilled with SQL and less with HQL, so they take another way, they do not have idea how to express the query in HQL, but they knows well how to create SQL query, so they simply resort to relay on the language they knows better (SQL), instead of using HQL alk.  written by Deferred Fixed Annuity, March 03, 2009

The same thing can be said about almost anyone who has a job or web-only based business. Lots of people that have online businesses come up with 'creative' job or business titles because they get tired of having to explain themselves to people who don't really have any business in questioning what we do for a living. It'll change, but it will take another 10 years I would suspect.
