Hash table

Is it ever possible to have a Hash table that can do get,put,remove @ O(1) for Strings?

calculating the hash for the String alone is O(n), is it not? [that's if you want to produce a good hash that won't collide all over the place]

Can't you just let it go? He proved you wrong, it's a function. Is it that hard to say "all right, I was wrong"? You seem to have some serious issues dude.
