that is correct, however, I was just making an example, not making any statement about the platform tomcat runs on. I have run it for quite some time on both windows and linux.
But thanks for pointing out something that may have been inferred by many readers.
That might be true, but there are countless companies that have NO sysadmin. You have, instead, an overworked project manager who has been forced to work on IIS w/ some piece of crap Servlet Container for the last umpteen years. Now that he's convinced management to let him run linux and tomcat w/ apache he has very little time to set it up, and not a ton of experience. He would benifit greatly from this.
And don't, for a second, believe that most ppl know as much as your average slashdot posting geek. This book can be very helpful to those who would like a little hand holding. It also might give even you some insight into things you haven't done or haven't even thought of...
I think that was what he was getting at, not that he wanted some random brain to teach everyone. Rather that he wanted to choose a teacher who was also a geek, not just some shmoe who has read some handouts which he verbally throws at you.
I'm leading a dev group that is stuck on a Java based App server (Silverstream) which we are not very happy with. As half my team would prefer to be linux based, we would like to migrate from windows to linux for development (hell, servers too).
We've been playing the "more stable/reliable", "more flexible", "more standard", and "less bugs" cards and I am actually seeing upper management start to sway. But I am still looking for some more fodder, anyone know of any good performance reviews or any reviews at all the put tomcat/apache against any app servers?
perfect tracker was okay. It works for helpdesk as well as bug tracking, it is kinda messy to customize, but is pretty feature rich. That is a web-only interface and looks pretty good in linux and windows. About $600 I think.
To summarise:
These could be used to help drugs better "stick to" cancer cells. They could also help determine which cells are cancerous, helping to reduce some of the horrible side effects seen in such treatments as chemotherapy.
They could also be used for "test-tube manufacturing," think nano-bots:-P
To quote the article:
The first use of DNA motors is already beginning to emerge in the form of biosensors, said Hiroaki Yokota, a nanomotor researcher at Osaka University in Japan. These are instruments that researchers use to detect a very specific piece of DNA that may be related to disease. Such sensors "enable us to detect only a few DNA molecules that contain specific sequences and thus possibly diagnose patients as having such specific sequences related to a cancer gene or not," he said.
Down the road, it is anticipated that nanomotors will play an active role in clinical treatment. For example, these ultra-small devices could be injected along with drugs that kill cancer cells or tumors, Tan said. When the drugs reach the disease site, the nanomotors would make the drug molecules attach and stick to the cancer cell membrane, Tan said.
Perhaps more importantly, the motors' precision would give them the ability to prevent the drugs from attaching to noncancerous molecules or healthy parts of the body -- eliminating the debilitating effects, for example, of chemotherapy drugs.
Some scientists believe that nanomotors could also be used in so-called "test-tube manufacturing." This approach turns traditional manufacturing on its head. Where traditional manufacturing creates structures from existing materials or parts, test-tube manufacturing involves building structures from the smallest molecular or atomic components.
So this is based on zero knowledge, but I would guess that that violates the terms of referership (is that a word), considering that fact that that "partner" did not actually refer you to the site.
I think a list should be compiled and reported, I would guess that places like yahoo and amazon could file criminal, if not at least civil, suits against such cheaters. It wouldn't surprise me if they did too, just to make a point, and to try not to jade users to the system....
any thoughts? that's a dumb question this is/.

Bioperl 1.0 Release
·
· Score: 2, Interesting
Perhaps you should voice that concern to the bioperl community. I am sure they would love to have a more robust/full-featured package that is useful for all sorts of biologists.
I bet they just don't have any ppl using perl for that means, or at least no one has contacted them with such code... you could be the first. I'm just happy to see perl making itself more and more useful
I was able to accurately play video games that used non-earth physics when I was younger. This can't be too different. I am sure it got to the point that I did not have to think about compensating for constant speed rather than acceleration.
Okay, so that wasn't a scientific experiment, I just find that there reasoning is quite poor, baby's on a glass table are scared, ya, that is really good scientific proof.
One way to figure this one is to test one of those dudes whose been in space for months, and then test him just as he get's back to earth, I bet for at least a few hours he would be on "space gravity".
How about William Gibson? Anyone read All tomorrow's Parties (I think that was the one). Where the guy had the touch screen LCD type monitor to his computer with him when they were on the subway.
It's been a while, but I think that was how it worked. Anyway, it's just nice to see these things going from sci-fi to reality...
This is what I am talking about, how can you expect ppl to respect and listen to your opinion when you flip out whenever the topic comes up. You do have some valid points, but they are lost in your tone.
Your point is the exact same one that many NRA members quote, basically its "Once they start making these rules what's to stop them?". Well if you can't allow the government to make some rules to help everyone then you have fundamental problems with our gov't. Maybe you should try to address those, rather than this one issue.
Basically, the gov't has to do something to try to stop bad ppl. It makes things worse for the rest of us, but that's life. The point is to help educate and influence the gov't to allow laws that are usefull and fair. This bank checking thing doesn't seem that bad, allowing them to "ransack my house" would not be right. We should all oppose that, but opposing the whole issue catagorically gets us nowhere and makes your cause look infantile.
These are two seperate words folks. It's interesting how ppl get so up in arms about anything that involves information about you. It's not like they are coordinating credit card reports, ATM slips, bank accounts, plane tickets, calls you make, and your electric bill, all to provide you with more directed spam.
This is being done to *protect* us from *terrorists*, you know, those guys who killed thousands of ppl about 6 months ago (you may have read about it in the newspaper).
It seems like ppl here get more up in arms than the NRA supporters (no pun intended). Ppl have to understand that some correlation will be done no matter what, regulating this and making it public is better than letting the FBI run amock with there computers and our data.
Maybe someone can explain to me what danger this puts me in, unless I am a terrorist...
I immediatly thought of this doozy from red dwarf:)
Erm, I think we're all beginning to lose sight of the real issue here, which is: what are we going to call ourselves? And I think it comes down to a choice between "The League Against Salivating Monsters," or "and this is my personal preference -- "The Committee for the Liberation and Integration of Terrifying Organisms and their Rehabilitation Into Society." Erm, one drawback with that -- the abbreviation is C.L.I.T.O.R.I.S.
Not all.coms got it wrong, just those like blue mtn that pulled a bait and switch. I agree at some level with the respect issue. I think you can integrate that with the making money model to create a successful.com, please indulge me for a few lines:)
1. Start web site with good, useful, intelligent/funny/something! content.
2. Get a customer base who likes it
3. Work up some sort of *Premium content*, that's the big thing. So perhaps it's exhaustive archives, with extras, and more insight, as well as other resources.
4. Provide this premium service at a price.
You still provide the basic functionality of the site that has built you a user base w/ respect. But now, those who truly respect you and value your content may buy your premium content if they want more.
IF you are going to go the Blue mtn. route you at least need to make it obvious from the get go that the service is only free for a certain time. You can never cut back on what you offer, that's just basic knowledge, but you can charge for an improved version.
But I can tell you that having such broad approaches to handling Nazi peraphanelia is also a very dangerous broad generalization, yet the french government has sued an american over doing it.
I think it shows extreme arrogance of the French's part to sue after they even have removed the goods. It shows that they really don't care about the issue at hand and are suing for alterior motives, be it press, or just because they are prics.
I have seen a total lack of uptime from the broadband providers I have used (Verizon DSL, Adelphia CableModem). Not to mention that Verizon has actually blocked port 80 at many locations. And the breach of contract others have mentioned. And power outages, man I get a lot of those around here.
I wouldn't recommend it for anything important. I think you'll run into more problems then you'll solve.
Oh ya, that sounds great, spoken like a true techie and linux lover. However, your average person just wants to run excel, they don't want to deal with setting up all this stuff. Granted, getting star office to run isn't that bad, but if it isn't as easy as an office install then most ppl aren't willing to deal with it.
I think this is the problem with a lot of tech ppl, you don't even *try* to think like a layman. Think, did it take you 20 minutes to set this up? Well that could take a casual user several hours, simple solutions for you are not so simple for the audience you are trying to capture.
Untill hardware is plug 'n play and the software is click 'nstall (I like that one:) you *can't* have the market, it's a simple truth. Once you accept that things get much more clear.
sort of on the same vein, what do ppl think about post graduate degrees. My parents pushed me a little bit to go for a graduate degree, I chose instead to take an offer at a startup, citing work experience as being possibly more valuable than a degree might make me (I am primarily interested in the internet arena, not research).
I understand it can make a difference what area you are going into, but for the most part (read as most programming jobs) do ppl think there degree gets them much more than perhaps higher pay?
The Cornell Theory Center (CTC) and Microsoft Corporation announced today the launch of expanded services for the finance industry through CTC's new role as a Windows Cluster Solutions Provider. (from their page)
ya, I had to read that twice to believe it, I wonder what their reasoning for win2K was. Is there some sort of package for clustering Win2K boxes?
Some how I think some sort of beowolf cluster would have gotten it done faster, and with less blue screens:).
It would be nice to find a good page detailing why they went with MS. Perhaps its a simple reason....funding. I wouldn't be surprised MS chipped in some money....

That was definitely my first "programming" exoerience, on an old SE I think it was, with a 5MB internal drive and a 20 MB external.
I guess it's the end of an era...
About $600 I think.

you can however, just remap that ctrl to the CAPS LOCK key in X...savings, $50 :)
ya, but I am still trying to figure out why I should pay $50 for a kbd that had the keypad hacked off.
I understand that is compact and doesn't have caplocks, but seriously, is that worth 50 beans?
I personally think they're neat, and I would like to have one, but I would rather shell out a few extra for a nice ergonomic or wireless kbd...

Do they feel they need to prove a point. This is almost as childish as claiming ownership of hyperlinks, and trying to sue based on it.

Maybe this is a question of understanding, if some corporation was sponsering or developed these standards could they sue these dudes under the DMC?
