I use Azureus. It is a nice bittorrent client (until I found bittornado) and is the only Java app I use. Besides that, it is the only application in my machine that prevent me to play UT2004 smoothly while using it. It uses half of my memory and locks my desktop for anything else than browsing and using vi. Simply stated, as all other Java applications, it sucks. It uses all the resources of my machines to _download files_. Gimme a break.
You live in the USA and want to communicate with someone in Iraq? Or maybe in China, or Siria or Cuba. Or Russia or Iran. Or your neighbor from the communist party.
Well, sorry sir. Since you are obviously a terrorist, slashdot cannot help you. All your logs are belong to US(A).
I dunno if you are just kidding, or if you really cannot do this. The program does not need mremap because you ftruncate before mmap and after munmap.
First, You need to make sure that your size parameter is page aligned. Besides that, you cannot mmap a file opened O_WRONLY. You need O_RDWR.

I don't actually how they can be usefull, but you certainly can represent them with very little memory, since you can store only the p parameter and retrieve the number very easily.
If we look at the tree, we see that three of the most modern languages where created about the same time (1991-1993), with a high fan-in (number of parent languages).
Java was called Oak then, but Python and Ruby didn't change names. If we try to preview the future, I would say that the ball is with C# now, but I really don't like this idea:-).

I went to New York from Brazil, in the begining of the year, flying Japan Airlines and I also needed to give names and addresses. This is the standard protocol, isn't it? Or maybe for canadians it is harassment and for brazilians is ok?

They will get money from Gmail. Actually, the same money that is driving the next generation of search engines.
8. Are there ads in Gmail?
There are no pop-ups or banner ads in Gmail. Gmail does include relevant text ads that are similar to the ads appearing on the right side of Google search results pages. The matching of ads to content is a completely automated process performed by computers using the same technology that powers the Google AdSense program. This technology already places targeted ads on thousands of sites across the web by quickly analyzing the content of pages and determining which ads are most relevant to them. No humans read your email to target the ads, and no email content or other personally identifiable information is ever provided to advertisers.
City of God is the greatest movie of the recent fiction-as-documentary brazilian productions. Other good title are Central do Brasil (Brazilian Central) and Bicho de Sete Cabecas.
It tries to show the life in the favelas in the 70's and 80's. Although it is a fiction story, historical facts are mixed with the narrative, and, well, it could be true. Everyone who knows about the brazilian reality up the favelas, would ever doubt about its veracity (if it was true).
It is amazing to know that all actors (except for one) were amateurs, and most lived in the favelas.
The tape has a lot of action and pleases the action-inclined types and also the deep-thinking ones.
You can get out of the cinema excited at the first moment, but soon will get sad because you know that is the reality for many people. And that was 20 years ago. And problems are still here (and maybe worse). About 3 months ago one of the actors of the movies (the one that is shot in foot by Dadinho) was arrested stealing a purse in a bus, to buy food.
City of God is only a movie. A really good one. The real world is not so cool.
So the robotics lab will still be cool. I was afraid that these will return to the pre-lego era, with standard nerds (instead of cool geeks) programming obscure eproms and using black, funless screw-drivers.

Finally found the reply button! I don't need to click the replies links and change topics anymore. Well, I actually asked the guy working besides me. He said You don't knooown?. And spent 10 minutes to remember it...
Some of the most interesting papers are actually
surveys. From there will get the overview, often
in a easy to read text, and pointers to the seminal
papers. You also will know which are the relevant publications.
Try browsing the ACM Surveys. I've read recently "A guided tour to approximate string matching". Quite good, and starting from there, I could get a good insight of the field.
This is a long waited discussion in slashdot. I think most people agree with mblase. The web is quick and broad, but rarely deep or complete. What about the knowledge of the new citizens that are growing with the Internet as the Source of All Knowledge?
Some says that cultural icons in the modern days(as pop music or holywood movies) are, let's say, shallow and ephemere. How it relates with the Internet? If you take out the communities around narrow topics, the Internet in its surface is not that different from other cultural movements. Shallow and ephemere. And I am not saying this is bad. But it is really curious.
The Internet is already deeply inserted in our routine. Some e-mail joke that run all mailboxes in a night, and the day after everybody in your work, school and even at lunch with the family is saying the same thing. Two days later, nobody cares anymore about the e-mail. Yes, massification. The difference is that anyone is equally like to pull the trigger.
How will it be when our long term lives are ruled by the Internet?

This single phrase from the announcemnt shows
why slackware is really unique:
"Each Slackware package follows the

I really appreciate the idea of a RAM targeted object repository layer, but as often happens, the Java guys tend to present their solutions as panaceias to every single application domain that slightly ressembles the problems they are attacking.
I am really curious about how Prevalence compares to more naive in-RAM data storage approaches. Despite raising attention to the large quantities of memory not used in high end servers (and to the project itself), I simply can't see the point to compare it with mysql.
Furthermore, I can't avoid noticing the curious culture that has emerged with Java that you always have a single application/application instance for each machine. The dedicated server concept came to give reliability and CPU power, but WTF, do I really need a dedicated server to every application I run?
Most people think that scripts cannot scale. It is hal true, because most scripters usually write fast and good code, but without documentation and modularity. But I believe that is because the problems usually assigned to them does not need it. If bosses treated scripters equally, I think they usually would have better professionals that always coffe breaking "programmers".

This also works in linux. You just need to call mremap after the ftruncate call.
This is too simple. Just call ftruncate() and mremap(). Grow doubling the size, and it gets fast.
