The tiers vs. modules confusion

I'm French, and I work in the IT industry here. But because about every improvement in the software domain is done in English (or at least translated into), we have a translation problem. I don't know if it's widespread among the other non-English-speaking countries (quite a lot, in fact).  […]

Le cadeau empoisonné de Solaar

Surprise ce matin lors de la prise de mon Metro un CD de MC Solaar gratuit, diantre ! A y regarder de plus près, ce n'est pas un CD audio, mais un "CD-ROM uniquement pour PC", amis Mac-istes : on ne vous aime pas. D'ailleurs tout le monde sait que le Mac est l'ordinateur du sans le sou,  […]

Kernel panic: no init found

Solution in my case: boot with tomsrtbt, it fails to load, I don't know why boot with Damn Small Linux like this: vmlinuz debug=10 (in order to prevent X from launching) vi /etc/fstab so as to get /dev/hda1 /mnt/hda1 ext3 defaults 1 1 mount /mnt/hda1 chroot /mnt/hda1 /bin/bash dpkg-reconfigure  […]

A book arrived today

Merrill R. Chapman's "In search of stupidity" arrived today. Now the challenge is: how long before I open it? Will I take the time to read it? I'm still at page 17 of "Paper Prototyping" by Carolyn Snyder, and page 85 of "Object-Oriented Software Construction" by  […]

Waiting for PHP 5

As described by Zeev Suraski on DevX.com in this article (date of publication not mentionned, seems to be after October 2002), PHP 5 is going to have a true object model, and be able to cooperate with Java or .net at the application server level. The material I've found on this last subject are  […]

JNI: don't cache jclass

Strange result, I perhaps have missed the point in the documentation. But here is the thing, while multithreaded, even if not in concurrent access, jclass as returned by FindClass are not valid call after call, while jmethodID as returned by GetMethodID are. On Solaris, a new instance created with a  […]

Re: One thing I've never understood with Java threads

As promised, a code sample showing the behaviour of wait() and notify(). Several of them exist already on the net, but sometimes, if you don't look by yourself, you don't understand. The code is a bit long (90 lines). package sandbox; public class TimeOut implements Runnable { private boolean  […]

One thing I've never understood with Java threads

From SUN's java.lang.Object Javadoc: wait Causes current thread to wait until either another thread invokes the notify() method or the notifyAll() method for this object, or a specified amount of time has elapsed. The current thread must own this object's monitor. notify This method should only be  […]

Re: cherish me, trash me, at least you are talking about me!!

Unbelievable

I can't put a screenshot because the M$Word document is under a NDA, but I've a graph in it, and when I select the text inside a text box, this is repeated in two others text boxes, where it has replaced the original text... Yes, my selection is reproduced two other times on the screen, and I've  […]

java.net: amusing misbehaving

Following a link wrongly typed on Fred Grott's weblog: http://today.java.net/pub/a/today/2003/06/10/desing.html Note that design is wrongly spelled. What should a normal server return? A 404 right? In a normal world yes. But you know SUN and the way they do standards... <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC  […]

Remove this flash out of my sight

For some months now, Mozilla is my primary browser, and now all the links to Internet Explorer have been remove from menus, toolbars, folders... And except for one or two brainfucked sites, I don't launch it more than once a month. This is mainly due to loosy coding, with static checking of the  […]

XML only with RDF?

ajeru says in "Never use XML without RDF": To use pure XML for describing semantics is terribly inefficient and a big step backwards. It's a step back from a logical model to a purely physical representation. XML should be used only as a data transfer mechanism for higher level languages  […]

Tenkû no Shiro Laputa (Castle In The Sky) in theaters soon

At least Laputa is released here. I failed to mention that I was looking for this soundtrack, soon released by ULM / Universal. I wanted to know if it was the 1986 or the 1999 version of the score. It's clear after seeing the release official site that this is the 1986's one. By the way, this site  […]

Comments on "What's New in Visual Studio .NET 2003"

Found a reference on OSNews on this article[3leaf.com]. I can't resist to comment some parts. There are a couple of things worth pointing out right off the bat. First you can (and may have to) install both VS 2002 and VS 2003 on the same machine at the same time. They will operate side-by-side just  […]
