    Blue everywhere

    Yo listen up: here's a story
    About a little guy

    That lives in a blue world
    And all day and all night and everything he sees is
    Just blue like him inside and outside
    Blue his house with a blue little window
    And a blue Corvette and everything is blue for him
    And himself and everybody around
    'Cause he aint got nobody to listen: ...
    I'm blue (da ba dee),I'm blue (da ba dee)

    I'm blue (da ba dee),I'm blue (da ba dee)
    I have a blue house with a blue window
    Blue is the color of all that I wear
    Blue are the streets and all the trees are too
    I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
    Blue are the people here that walk around
    Blue like my Corvette it's standing outside
    Blue are the words I say and what I think

    Blue are the feeling that live inside me
    I'm blue (da ba dee),I'm blue (da ba dee)
    I have a blue house with a blue window
    Blue is the color of all that I wear
    Blue are the streets and all the trees are too

    I have a girlfriend and she is so blue
    Blue are the people here that walk around
    Blue like my Corvette it's standing outside

  8. was MS involved? on Another J2EE vs .NET Performance Comparison · · Score: 4, Informative


    From their FAQ about the benchmark..

    Was Microsoft involved in this, did they fund this, where were the tests done?

    Yes, Microsoft was certainly involved, as the paper describes. The Middleware Company approached Microsoft regarding performing such an experiment. Microsoft provided the lab, which was located in Seattle, funded the setup costs, and reimbursed us for expenses, including travel expenses. The Middleware Company invested several man-months in this project for which it received no compensation. The activity took much long than we expected, and at various points, we also hired independent consultants experienced in appservers A and B to tune them or provide recommendations, at our own expense. The parameters of the lab were under the control of TMC. TMC controlled the testing process. TMC stated up front that TMC would write a report about the real results, no matter what they were. These experiments are time-consuming, and require resources. Without permission and some support from Microsoft, we would not have been able to conduct the experiment. We would like to have conducted many more experiments than we did, and hope to in the future. TMC stands behind the results of the tests that were conducted.

    Does the fact that Microsoft gave permission for this experiment and provided some support, invalidate the results?

    That is for you to decide. TMC stands behind the results of the tests that were conducted. Should there be other such experiments to be arranged in the future, we will not be able to do them without some assistance with the lab, setup, expenses, and we would hope for more support than Microsoft provided us with for this experiment.

    It is pretty good. You can create a fake e-mail address like osifj823494@sneakemail.com and allows unlimited number of e-mails forwarded to your real email address.

    You can easiliy detect if you are receiving spam from the fake e-mail address you created and easily realize which website sold your e-mail address to spammers. You can later delete that fake e-mail address and stop the spam.
