The FLRW metric starts with the assumption of homogeneity and isotropy. It also assumes that the spatial component of the metric can be time dependent. The generic metric which meets these conditions is
...
where k describes the curvature and is constant in time, and a(t) is the scale factor and is explicitly time dependent, and natural units are used in which the speed of light is set to unity.
My office still has its foosball table. And the company just bought TVs and a Playstations for both offices. I bring my dog to work every day. I'm not saying its typical but little perks like that make the office a much happier place to be.
Is this really just a case of expectation management? NASA says "the rovers will last 30 days," to cover their asses if some unknown factor takes them down far sooner than the hardware could manage? Then when they last longer, NASA can do some gloating? Not that it's malevolent, but did the rover engineers really expect them to only last 30 days?
This is what the fascade pattern is for. I wouldn't worry too much about RDBMS portability. However, putting your SP calls behind some kind of fascade at least gives you portability for the code which will utilize the report data. Let the DBMS do what DBMS's are good at.
Another great tool for stress testing your site is Jakarta JMeter. Gives you a nice GUI for watching your response times plummet as your site is pummeled.
From the article: Siege now supports a new proxy tool called Sproxy, which harvests URLs for testing. The premise behind Sproxy doesn't make much sense to me... Personally, I prefer Scout for getting my URLs, since it just goes through a site's links and adds them that way.
The advantage of using a browser to set up your test plan is that it better simulates real traffic patterns on your site. Microsoft's Application Test Center does this, and JMeter has a proxy server similar to Sproxy.
When you're trying to replicate problems with a live site, however, it would seem more appropriate to me if you could base your test on real traffic to the site. I wrote a load testing tool once that used web logs to simulate the actual traffic patterns, but it was incomplete, mostly because web logs don't record POST data. A good stress tool could come with an Apache/IIS/Tomcat plugin that recorded traffic for use in stress testing.
In addition to a getting me a sweet new pair of airwalks, my gf framed me a picture of Ed Vedder (who I worship) and Anthony Kiedis (who she worships) locking lips. Nothing like a picture of two guys kissing sitting on your mantle.
I'm a Java developer of 4 years and I'm unimpressed by generics. Why have all those 's dirtying up my code, only to enforce strong typing on my collections? If strong typing is really important, I can create my own strongly-typed collection. Otherwise, there's something called GOOD CODING, along with runtime exceptions, which enforce it. I don't see the need for all that extra ugly syntax just to enforce it at compile time.
Direct booting from floppy is no longer supported.
You should now use a boot loader program such as syslinux instead.
"make bzdisk" continues to work (now using syslinux).
Does this mean what I think it does? No more floppy boot disks? Or am I misreading?
Actually Pearl Jam is selling concert bootlegs online for their current tour. They come out something like 2 weeks after each concert. Umastered mp3's are available almost immediately. And they've fulfilled their contract obligation to Epic with their latest album, and will probably only use Sony for distribution at this point.
But as a previous poster said, they're in Philly on the 28th.
Konfabulator actually has a couple useful widgets. The first is one that let's you hide all windows but finder. Super useful has since i've switched I haven't found an easy way to jump to the desktop. This mades the other widgets more useful as they're easier to get to. While the clock & newsreader widgets are pretty useless, CPU monitoring, net traffic monitoring, a calendar, a to-do list, and an e-bay auction monitor turn my otherwise blue-and-empty desktop into something useful. Oh, and did I mention the nifty widget that shows the current terror alert level?:-)
Slashdot Mirror
grits?
that mwst be qwite the keyboard configwration ;)
Ummmm wayyyy too early for this
Couldn't these be used in hybrid vehicles to help charge the battery? Would help recover more lost energy and make the vehicle more efficient.
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!! !!!!!!!!!
Wonderful. I'm 600 pages into the book and I read a spoiler on Slashdot. Perfect. Might as well put the book down now. :-P
Missing online gaming is a killer. I really wish I could update my rosters in Madden 2005 like I can on the PS2 at work.

I write Java code for a living. It makes me money. I enjoy it. It's the best tool for the kind of code I write.
I could really give a flying fuck what anyone else thinks.

the aristocrat choir sings, what's the ruckus?
the haves have not a clue.
Why not just use a couple dozen lines of perl?
Counting down....

c'mon, i was whacking off to samus in my nintendo power magazine way before i ever beat metroid.

But I can't seem to get the Aqua Look n Feel working w/ swing apps? Am I missing something? It worked fine w/ Netbeans in Java 1.3.
