A more accurate description is a platform that handles "back-end" functions for distributed or networked applications. This might include accessing databases or performing calculations or functions in a centralized location. It is not limited to web-based applications, though this is a primary use for application servers. The generic model is for various clients (browsers, standalone applications, or some type of service) calling functions that are executed by the application server. Often, information is then passed back to the client. The domain associated with application servers is the execution of "business logic". Servlets are often part of an application server platforms but application servers are not limited to serving up dynamic web content.
Yes, excellent job. I do not own a TV, and while NPR was very useful, they were not as current with breaking news as one would like. As we are all aware, due the enormous loads of traffic on the internet, the usual news sources were inaccessible, and Slashdot became my primary newsfeed for most of Tuesday. Once again, thanks a lot guys and thanks to all the readers who posted or mirrored important information.
Well, considering the Slashdot demographic would seem to consist of middle to upper-middle class 16-35 year-old males, I think that a few thousand page-views by these types is actually pretty important to the NYT. Do you really disagree?
I don't think that they are available anymore. Last time I checked the only way to get the Developer Tools was by purchasing OS X. Once the public beta ended, so did free access to the Developer tools.
Sorry, I have to STRONGLY disagree on this point. I do Java development at a large financial institution, and we have decided to stop using JRun due to some rather significant problems. For instance, under certain conditions, creating a reference to a session object can totally hose your application on the UNIX version (same code executes fine on NT, funny huh?). We also had problems with the NT version sometimes throwing "Bad Magic Number" exceptions (you can resolve this only by deleting the compiled servlets and servlet source, go figure). While bugs are to be expected with any platform, I highly recommend Tomcat as it is in my opinion, quite stable, and seems to be a standard as far as embedded servlet engines go for many of the third party applications we use (rule engines, workflow engines, etc.). I do agree that JRun is easy to set up, but for a commercial application, it is probably worth the effort to set up and configure a more stable and less buggy platform.
Amen to that , brother. I ditched thos e jerks last month after four months of "All Circuits Busy" messages to anyone who tried to get ahold of me on my cell. I pity the fool who tries to get decent service of another Sprint wireless servce.
The point of preserving green space is not just the preservation of green space, but the preservation of a certain way of life. People want to live in rural and suburban areas because it is seen as preferable to living in an urban environment. A majority of married couples choose to move to the suburbs to raise families, because it is seen as a better environment for children (shouldn't kids play on lawns and parks instead of in city streets?). The problem is not that too many people want to live in suburban and rural areas. The problem is one of population growth negatively affecting future expectations for a certain quality of life. As population increases, and as the desire to live in suburban and rural areas remains, an increase in the cost of such a lifestyle choice due to inevitable supply/demand disparities may force families to remain in "affordable hi-rise condominiums
in urban areas". Do everything you can to reduce the exploding population.
. . . is whether or not Linux oriented buisnesses will be able to survive more realistic, post-bubble valuations. The articles subject doesn't take the OS itself to task, just the viability of business models based on free and open-source software. Anyone out there feel like making an arguement FOR the business models of VALinux or RedHat?
The truly frustrating thing with owning a Visor is just that: the promised third-party products have failed to materialize. I have a funny feeling that by the time the useful modules arrive, it will make more sense to upgrade to a new device (one with built-in functionality) like some sort of cell-phone/PDA hybrid.

Damn. That was pretty funny.

Actually, the Gazlle just has to be faster than the slowest Gazelle.

Generator2 runs on Linux as well as Solaris and NT.
