An "expert" saying something does not necessarily make it true (for any value of "true") and, by transitivity, worth processing.

Humans tend to look up at those they perceive as succesful, with...

I just read through eight pages of the most recent so-called discussion about types, testing, Python is leet, Java is the devil, etc. All the usual suspects plus a few new people participated. In...

Named pipes in UNIX mean something quite different from named pipes in Windows. Look up sockets if you need Windows-like functionality.

It is similar in Germanic languages. "kostenlos" is equivalent to "gratis" while "frei" is equivalent to "liber."

It is very unfortunate that "kostenlos" did not pass into English for some reason...

Wonderful, thank you.

I approach anybody who tries to cheat me as an enemy. Nothing personal. I also applaud your efforts to correct the wording.

I suggest removing "to protect attribution of content's original...

Your most significant fault here, which you can't wriggle out of, is providing deceptive information. Some people call that aggressive marketing, I call it outright lying. Your thing is not open...

voteforpedro, please educate yourself a bit. Almost every word you wrote in the previous post is incorrect. (Hint: GNU came first, and GNU is Not Unix; Linux is just a kernel, and is not an acronym)....

This is called vendor lock-in. No, thanks. There is also a play on the words "open source," which is intended to fool people who don't know better.

I urge the admin team for a rule here (if one...

Provide more information about the particular application. Otherwise you'll only get general advice. The general advice I can give is to serialize the array elements separately, which you don't want...

Story writing (the industry calls it storyboarding, which is incorect IMO) is a very valuable skill to have as pertains to building games. In certain genres (e.g., RPG) stories are a fundamental part...

You probably meant

which is the current resource.

Also, http://producingoss.com/ is a crucial free book for anyone willing to participate in a large OSS...

If you are not a master in Java, you should avoid IDEs. Use a simple text editor, perhaps with keyword highlighting. Otherwise you'll learn the IDE, not Java. IDEs are useful because they automate...

Interesting. They make some very interesting promises in the FAQ.



If they have a clever system to solve the above two problems (multiaccounting and no advantages for time spent online), this...

The modern way to do TCP servers is multiplexing fds. Take a look at epoll.

Yes, it is bad style. No, you should not avoid it. The same people who consider it bad style do not like C++ at all, because... they cannot prove theorems about it.
My point is, a good programmer...

Sharp Zaurus.

What you are looking for is called a multivibrator. You need two transistors, four resistors, two capacitors, and a power source (and the light, of course). Look it up on wikipedia or wherever.

Interesting thread bordering on flaming. Very interesting :)

Lau is undoubtedly a very misled young man/woman who prefers form over substance (which is contrary to the preferences of all good...

Redirect the output from Tomcat's startup/shutdown scripts to /dev/null, like this:

startup.sh > /dev/null

Alternatively, you can edit startup.sh and shutdown.sh themselves to achieve that, but...

Locking a user is a matter of changing the password for that user in /etc/shadow to ! (or including !, which is a non-hash character, at the start of the password hash if you want to keep it). Or you...

Create a user for it (probably named tomcat), make it safe (disallow logins with this user, remove the shell, etc), and start tomcat through that user with su.

Here is a script I wrote for myself...

All ports below 1024 can only be opened by root. Apache, for example, uses some nice tricks to use port 80 and still be safe. I don't know about Tomcat (I always run it on 8080).

Allowing ports...

Sorting seems overkill to me. The fastest sorting algorithms on a binary architecture have O(n*log(n)) complexity (for unlimited ranges, that is). There should be some algorithm to find the median...

Am I the only one who did not open the example file because it is a proprietary format (Microsoft Word)? Great start towards an "open-source" language, OP.
