Spec me a dev machine

Mon, 28 Apr 2008 02:44:15 MDT

Hiya guys/girls

im hoping to get some guidance on the specification of the development machines we have on option to recommend my boss to purchase.

we currently have 3.0Ghz Xeon dell boxes with 2 gigs of ram, which are quite long in the tooth now which makes developing a pain (build times are around 5 mins and depolying takes forever!).

the requirements are quite short, they are:
- machines must be redhat compatable.
- must be from dell (yea i know! but we have some kind of arrangement)
- must make developement with jboss, netbeans and any near future JEE technology seem super fast

the link to the machines we are looking at are

Trimming Excess Margin from a PDF

Thu, 24 Apr 2008 23:54:04 MDT

I have a large pdf file containing mainly text and each page is containing a lot of excess margin. Is there any way to trim down the margins. I want to print 4 pdf pages into 1 single A4 paper (built-in feature of Acrobat Professional 6.0). However, if each individual pdf page has too much margin, the text will be shrunk too small and isn't readable.

Are there any simple ways/tools to achieve this? Thanks a lot.

Free form filler and free real-time log monitor and viewer

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 23:54:01 MDT

Hi,
1) I have this site where i always have tons of forms to fill, with numerous fields.
I am looking for a free form filler that can make things easier, something that will automatically fill the fields.
It has to work with Internet Explorer. And one for Firefox would be nice too.

2) I am also looking for a real-time log monitor and viewer, something like a windows port of the UNIX 'tail -f' command, that can be used to view the end of a growing file.
Something like that : http://withdata.com/ (http://withdata.com/) but free.

Do you know any (free) ?

Thanks a lot in advance.

What you need to know ?

Wed, 23 Apr 2008 16:00:00 MDT

I have a simple question :
Are the access modifiers (aka scopes) something what you need to know to "program" in java or is enough to know only some API (e.g that the String class has a split method).

I know the answer but I need to know some other people meaning.

Regards,
M

Anyone using Scala?

Fri, 18 Apr 2008 20:26:22 MDT

I have been reading through the tutorials and finally downloaded Scala (http://www.scala-lang.org/) last night. It looks pretty cool to me. Most of the functional stuff of a language like Haskell or OCaml, tail call elimination, higher order functions, semantics for easily encoding algebraic data types. The syntax isn't as clean as Haskell, but there's less boilerplate than Java. Plus it compiles to JVM bytecode so it can interact seamlessly with Java classes, it has the same "compile once, run everywhere" flavor of Java, and it's comparable to Java (http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=scala&lang2=java) in terms of speed. But I haven't done anything serious with it yet so I might just like the spec. So does any...

question about virtual function in c++

Thu, 17 Apr 2008 01:27:04 MDT

Hello, everybody!

I quoted the part of MSDN script about virtual function below.

quote:

When calling a function using pointers or references, the following rules apply:
* A call to a virtual function is resolved according to the underlying type of object for which it is called.
* A call to a nonvirtual function is resolved according to the type of the pointer or reference.
code:
#include <iostream.h>
 
// Declare a base class.
class Base
{
public:
 virtual void NameOf(); // Virtual function.
 void InvokingClass(); // Nonvirtual function.

Controling Application Access

Wed, 16 Apr 2008 17:45:02 MDT

Whold like some feedback on handleing access control. I have a master employee file that contains a job class. I have a file that assigns roles to each job class. My app looks at these roles to control access but this is where I could use some help.

Right now on my servlets that request JSP form I call the class with the user job class and role values. The class returns true or false. I then set a session attribute as either true or false. Then I use expression language and javascript to control display of the JSP.

Is there a better way? Please help.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 06:31:17 MDT

Hi,
We have database with 20GB records in total.There are 6 tables.Data increases linearly approximately, 200 MB/month. In future data needs to be archived.That means current database will store only 1 month transaction and older transactions should be moved to database on another server.Current database we are using is MS SQL 2005.
1)What database should be used for data archival?(mySQL/postGRE)
2)which web technology(ajax/jsp/python/..) will be suitable so that user can visit the website and search for archived reords?
