Rude may be an awkward term, but I definitely think there's something wrong with "showrooming." These other posts remind me of the "Wal-mart Defense", which is basically I don't care about anything else other than I want it as cheap as possible. Now many big box stores are crummy admittedly...

So the emphasis there is on the *request*? One could use code and not have to make changes available until they are requested to be so?

Reading the latest about Oracle's plans for (Open)Solaris has left me with a question about open source licensing. Oracle has claimed that they will continue to use CDDL for all of the code already licensed under that, but from my understanding, they will only be releasing the source code (with...

Just because people don't care doesn't mean it isn't an important issue. If we took that stance then debates like Net Neutrality would never get to see the light of day because your average citizen knows practically nothing about it. Also, on the broader scope of the question, no, this isn't...

I'd never do that! I'd wait until it is a widely adopted solution, claim copyright, and sue for millions all SCO-style :)

Yes, jiminator is correct, I went ahead and implemented that and it works. In case anyone wants it here's the code: function makeFrame( url ) { ifrm = document.createElement( "IFRAME" ); ifrm.setAttribute( "style", "display:none;" ) ; ifrm.setAttribute( "src", url ) ...

I have a table that has a list of files and each row/file has a checkbox associated with it. A user can check these boxes and then click a download button and the idea would be to have each file be fired up as a separate download. The way I have this set up is a form wraps around the table...

That is actually a lot like kuler.adobe.com, which I use quite a bit :)

Although I'm a big fan of vim, the original question was about an IDE, not an editor, so I'm not sure vim or emacs is a good answer here. My suggestion would be to check out Eclipse or Netbeans, with my preference probably being for Eclipse. They each have an array of plugins for various...

I'm working on a web design and I'm having a bit of trouble with the company colors. It is basically a orange-blue-green palette. The oranges are #FDB844 (lighter, used more) and #E58E1B for darker shades. The blue is #0097D8. My problem comes with the green, which is #B7BE1C. Looking at...

Sorry I was trying to make it clear that JAVA_HOME was set in the startup script to point at the proper Sun java location. Unfortunately I cannot post the script because the box got wiped out and I started again from the beginning with a fresh install of CentOS 5. The problem may have been a...

Isn't that what JAVA_HOME specifies? I don't recall anything else pertaining to Java in the tomcat file other than the JAVA_OPTS for things like memory size and such.

Thanks for the suggestions all, but it still isn't working. I downloaded the .bin file from Sun's site (not the rpm.bin), extracted, and moved the folder into /usr/lib/jvm. alternatives --config java -> I have chosen the Sun version (after adding it) java -version -> shows Sun as being the...

service tomcat5 start or restart, run as root

Just wanted to give the update that installing Sun's Java does *not* fix this error, at least not for my install. I basically did the same thing as found here, which has you download the JDK , extract to a directory, and update alternatives to point at the new java binary. To get Centric...

Okay I did find this page that discusses the particular error. Is the only way to fix the problem to install Sun's JDK? I am using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 to host this and Sun's packages aren't included in the RHN repos. The installers that you get from Sun install in a nonstandard...

I'm trying to run Centric (now Concursive) CRM on a linux box. I have it up and running except a couple of pages do not work, apparently because they use charts. When looking at tomcat's catalina.out I get errors like the following whenever the bad pages are clicked...

I was able to implement the manual parsing method using substring combined with either indexOfs or simply adding to the current index and was able to get the execution for one test from ~14 sec down to ~2, which is right about the performance throughput I need. I'm rather surprised how much...

I actually did give it in the first post, though it may not have been clear. I said I was splitting on " +", which is the regex. I'll give something of that sort a try and report back on how it affected performance.

Yeah tell me about it, but they are indeed spaces.

Although this thread is getting a bit dated, I thought I'd throw in the host for my personal site, geekstorage.com. Geek Storage has been the best hosting service I've worked with for both my own site or the companies I've worked for. They have good prices, plenty of web-based tools and...

Thanks everyone for the responses so far. I'm currently reworking parts of this project so after I get those straightened out I can work on getting up some examples to see if anyone can help. Until then here's some more details of the problem. I would have posted these earlier but I had to...

I am currently working on a project where I am parsing data line-by-line. I only need parts of each line so I am splitting on spaces to extract the string tokens and then continue on. I have already created a compiled Pattern and am using Pattern's split instead of String's version. I did...

I'm trying to interface with a SOAP-based API and as a first step I'm trying to get a simple method working that displays the methods, their arguments, and parameters then makes a simple call to a method. The first part works fine (for RPC types at least, DOC ones just give 'parameter' as the...

Panda3D is a high quality engine developed by Disney but now open sourced and run by Carnegie Mellon. It is written in C++, and thus has a C++ API, but also has the capability of being used with Python so it gives you some flexibility if you know both languages. I haven't used XNA personally...

I also throw my hat into the scripted language ring. I personally believe they are easier for beginners, especially considering your background. Personally I prefer Python and have gotten good results from teaching it in introductory CSC classes.

Actually there is no maxflow.h, graph.h's functionality is split into graph.cpp and maxflow.cpp, as strange as that sounds. The syntax is actually coming straight out of Eclipse's managed build system (automake and such), which I've never had a problem with before.

Which version of gcc are you running? I have 4.2.4 and I tried dumping the contents of instances.inc, graph.cpp, and maxflow.cpp (in that order) into the graph.h file after the file's normal contents and added the necessary includes at the top. This results in the following errors...

Having some interesting and varying opinions here. I would recommend going for CSS first. There's so many people out there that don't know how to use it properly (or even HTML :eek:). Getting these fundamentals down will help you to make better pages with PHP, AJAX, or whatever later. Also...

I am indeed a CS grad student (CSC at my school actually, CS is crop science, hah). I would be happy to talk about grad schools but, being slightly off topic, you should start a new thread (and PM with a link so I don't miss it) or just PM me and we can discuss it more.

Oops sorry, yes the errors would have been helpful, I guess I assumed (d'oh) that people would have to look at the code and compile it anyway. The errors I get are what eloj posted. Not trying to link, trying to build from the source code. The errors are confusing because the library is...

I'm lucky enough to be far enough into a PhD where classes are a long lost memory :)

I am trying to use the generic max-flow/min-cut algorithm found here. I was formerly working in VS and it worked fine. However, I've recently moved to a linux environment using g++ and I can't get the library to work. It comes in an archive and the readme file contains a sample main. I can't...

Like Bryophyte I am currently in a PhD program and have recently received a MS. Just to test the waters I've applied several places to see what is out there, and even in this bad economy there are opportunities out there in our field; fortunately I'm in a tech-oriented area of the country...

There are many reasons why this could be happening. IE, first of all, is notorious for not following web standards. Because of its dominance of the market for so long (if the pages say IE4+ they may have been made way back in the day) many web devs used to just code their sites to work in IE...

I've got both a 3870x2 and a 9800GX2 sitting around because they will not fit in my current case (a lian-li pc-60 that's been with me for a long time). I've been pondering a new box and thus a new case may be in order. One thing I can't seem to find is "will these cards fit in case X". I'm...

I've had really good luck with geekstorage.com. Their prices are good, support is EXCELLENT, and just all around a nice company to work with. For example, the particular server my site was hosted on (it is a shared server) lacked vim (for shame!) so I was stuck using nano/pico at first. I...

I currently have an ATI 3870 X2 and an NVIDIA 9800 GX2 available to me and I am trying to decide which I should use in the new gaming box I'm going to build (I will sell the other one). Which would you guys recommend keeping? I am leaning towards the ATI card because it supposedly uses less...

I would agree that ext3 would be a fine solution, but I would ideally go for ZFS. It is a great FS with large limits, good performance and data integrity. Depending on your distro it may or may not be available and/or easy to set up. Note that few (if any, other than Solaris) distros include...

How you use Visual Studio mostly determines what subscription you want. You've made the right choice with Express. For the majority of small-scale/student/hobbyist users the Express edition is good enough as long as the license isn't restrictive. Beyond that, "plain" VS is again good for the...
