  1. Re:Taking out capital ships? on New Russian Weapon Hides In Shipping Container · · Score: 1

    Here's a more recent article by the War Nerd on the same topic: http://exiledonline.com/the-war-nerd-this-is-how-the-carriers-will-die/ Seems the fact that aircraft carriers are elaborate floating targets that cannot be effectively defended is a well-known fact even to the Navy.

  2. Hammer Storage MyShare on Best Home Network NAS · · Score: 1

    If you're looking for a small RAID-ready NAS box for your home network, this is a good bet.

    MyShare is basically a 2-hard drive NAS bay that can be bought with pre-installed hard drives (mine is the 1TB version with 2x500GB drives). I've been really happy with this thing: it supports both NFS and SMB/CIFS, so it works great with heterogenous/non-Windows environments, has a bunch of RAID config options: level 0, 1 and JBOD, and has a quiet fan. In fact, the fan is off during light usage, unlike most other NAS boxes.

    I payed around $400 for mine.

  3. Re:Can someone help me? on Want To Know About the New Apple MacBook Pro? · · Score: 1

    Not so. They were available in the San Francisco Stonestown store as early as Thursday but ran out quickly. I picked mine up in Burlingame on Friday, the same day that store got their first shipment.

  4. Re:San Francisco isn't the Valley on Hiring Is Up in Silicon Valley for High-Skill Jobs · · Score: 1
    I'm not sure where you're getting your data but I suspect it isn't very accurate.

    Do a search on Dice for the 415 area code using the "Java" keyword and you'll find over 500 jobs just in San Francisco. Not exactly "remarkably tech jobs-free".

  5. Re:this is not a widget library on Yahoo! Releases OSS Ajax and Design Tools · · Score: 1
    All of the functionality offered by ygPos, ygAnim, ygDom, etc. has been available for a long time elsewhere.

    Prototype is a de-facto standard set of extensions for JavaScript and DHTML. MochiKit is another powerful library. Projects like Dojo, Rico and Script.aculo.us build on top of those libraries to privide UI functionality like non-HTML widgets, grag/drop and animations.

    There is very little real value in the code Yahoo! just offered, unless you want another library to do the same things. This is nothing more than a publicity stint.

  6. Re:What is Hibernate ? on Hibernate in Action · · Score: 2, Informative
    Actually, compositite keys have been supported by Hibernate beginning with version 2.0, which came out over a year ago. See here.

    Usually, problems with mapping existing database schemas to Hibernate arise from the shorcomings of the database and not Hibernate. Oracle's CLOBs and BLOBs are a good example of this, as the methods exposed by the JDBC interface do not work properly and methods from Oracle's CLOB and BLOB classes must be used directly, breaking transparency and forcing the developer to do additional work.
