As someone who spends alot of time playing WOW, I often wonder what technology is being employed by these realm servers. Can anyone out there provide some insight?
Is the current decline in CS enrollments due to the media portraying computer types as "geeks" or because there are no CS opportunities? The government does nothing to stem the offshoring of engineering careers (Programming, Radiology, Mechanical Engineering, etc) and then bemoans that there is little interest in the community.
I noticed that after installing World Of Warcraft and signing on to Blizzard, their patch download application suggested that in order to improve my download rate, I open a range of ports on my firewall. These were ports similar (1000 off) to the standard range of BT ports.
Speaking of Rational software, Rose, etc. Despite the fact that the Eclipse already maintains all of the meta-data needed to produce a UML model, no one has produced a free or affordable ( $200 for single-user license) UML plugin that supports reverse engineering of source code into the model. Correct me if I'm wrong.
This guy responds to several messages per week and yet only receives 50-150 messages per day? One mail account I have kept open for some time is up to 300+ message per day and I have never responded to a spam. I would expect that someone who responds with any frequency to receive many hundreds (1000+?) of messages per day./mike
Not really that amazing... Like all "discoveries" this one was likely built on top of knowledge / experiences of earlier work. "Shoulders of giants" and all that. With maple syrup, someone with experience in cane sugar processing likely noticed that maple sap was sweet and decided to apply the same techniques to it.
I used to write software at a high-energy physics lab. The technicians would put padlocks that only they had keys for on switches when they powered something down. Removing someone else's lock was grounds for immediate dismissal. If someone accidentally left a lock on something, they had to personally remove it or (you guessed it) face dismissal. They took these rules very seriously.
Is this a good idea? Force someone to join a mailing list to register an opinion. Why not provide an email address or better yet a site where the common problems are listed for easy selection with an 'others' category that allows a contributor to specify a problem not listed. Force the user to specify an email address (with confirmation) to keep someone from stuffing the ballot box. Further, the site organizers could provide a tally to rank the most(un)popular annoyances.
IMHO, Samba is the 2ed most useful service / component found in Linux. As I understand it, the Samba team has accomplished this by reverse engineering the protocol.
A compromise solution would have been to disallow cookies that live longer that the user's session. Session cookies are very useful for JSP, PHP, etc. Long-lived (persistent) cookies are the real concern of the privacy folk. I'm surprised that no one presented this.
I know that it has nothing to do with the topic...
But while waiting for the page to load, I noticed that the extension was "htm" which lead me to lookup "linux.html.it" using netcraft and discovered it running IIS. Go figure?

For me it was walking into a room and thinking that I needed to shoot out all the lights.

Actually, I believe that JBoss defaults to Jetty and bundles Tomcat. Jetty is easier to embed in to an application than Tomcat.
