I just read Java Concurrency in Practice by Brian Goetz and I agree it is great. I also learned C from Russel Winder twenty years ago and he was a good teacher then, I expect he's even better now.
Good point, I should have mentioned this. The XMLSpy home edition is free, as in, er, I can never get that bit right. It is great, and for many.xsd editing jobs it is all you need. But it doesn't support 'import' in its visual editor, for that you have to pay the big bucks. And that is what I want.
I see there are some XML tools included in this offering. I haven't been able to find out if there is a decent XML Schema editor included. I would really like to get a free XML Schema editor that is as good as XMLSpy.
What he does is recompile Posgres to increase the default log block size. A commenter on his blog points out that he could have done this by changing a runtime parameter. In general, changing the block size used by the transaction log is something that should only be done by experts. I believe that Sun incents its employees to blog. In this case this posting is not necessarily a good sign of Sun's competence with Postgres.

Thanks 42Penguins for alerting me to this. I believe this was some sort of prank by the admins at www.asiamedia.ucla.edu. I complained and now the links are broken, which is good in that they no longer point to goatse images.
The reviews at Amazon USA seem to suggest that the book only covers getting to Mars, not the actual operation of the Rovers. Is this true? Did it spoil the book for you?
Copyright-infringing copies of three films - Daredevil,
Red Planet
and Miss Congeniality
-- were
found on the defendant's computer
during a customs raid on his home on January 12. Photo images of the
labels of the compact discs were also found on
the computer. A digital camera consistent with the make and model used
to take the photos was found at the defendant's home, government
prosecutor Hayson Tse Ka-sze told the court.
There's a great chart on page 8 of TFA which shows the number of subscribers to the major MMORPGs. I was curious and found the source of the charts, it's Bruce Sterling Woodcock's site and there's a newer version of the chart I liked here, and there are lots more.
Well 500 patents isn't many considering IBM gets 300 0 patents a year (RTFA). And a lot of these are very processor oriented, not so useful to FOS. BUT some are really important, like 6,173,292 (Full-Text Data recovery in a transactional database using write-ahead logging and file caching). This is basically the LSN patent (AFICS) and so is critical to any modern RDBMS system.

Thanks, I tried it. Very impressive for a free tool. Not as good as XMLSpy though :-(

The government prosecutor Hayson Tse Ka-sze said it would be "absurd" to argue that the tracker server and not the uploader was responsible for distribution. He defined distribution as "sharing" and said the court would have to look at the intent of the legislation

Have you ever written a basic interpreter that fits in 4K?
Larry Osterman writes in his blog that the author fundamentally doesn't understand what he's writing about. Mr. Osterman has worked at Microsoft for 20 years. How old is the author of the article?
Gosling described the DMCA, which was passed in the United States a few years ago, as "really vile."
The UK has a population of 60 million. So you're out by an order of magnitude.

On Bruce Sterling Woodcock's site there's a chart showing market share which includes WoW.

The onion piece is only for 'premium' readers but I found it cached here.
There's a great article in the Guardian about how everyone used to watch the same TV shows at the same time.
Yes, that works too and is a lot less verbose.
I did try this and it worked. See comment.
OK, I did think of that and was hoping someone else would do it.
