I wont argue, but Jet hasn't been the default backend to Access in a long time. It is SQL Server Desktop Edition now, IIRC.

how does that address eclipse refactorings?

MS really only has one relevant offering in this discussion, unless you want to add Exchange as a document-oriented store.

I mainly look to egit to help me stage refactorings correctly as move + edit operations in the index. Should I be worried about that?

I think this is, by far, the largest software problem on OSX today. MacPorts breaks at a whim (not a whim. Minor OS versions, yes) I abandoned Fink early, and HomeBrew is either a gift from the gods or a slipshod hack; I'm not sure which.

Utterly unintentional and somewhat hilarious misspelling on my part, especially since I used to work for a startup that made a statute search engine.

As someone who strongly values my First Amendment rights, an image of this statue would certainly cause me emotional distress.

If they don't cache writes, and they honor fsync calls, then not having a supercap isn't such a liability. That said, when a vendor announces a enterprise-targeted storage product without mentioning reliability, it likely isn't there. There

There are deeper waters, but I tired of wading through the muck. Anything of his ( like this ) that is interesting enough to me to read, usually comes to me through here anyway. Except when he posts about the Rat Pack. Or baseball.....darn

You can, and we do, embed an ActiveMQ broker in an application. They pass messages. They're fairly related.

Well, my little LLC provides a nice little hedge against that problem, doesn't it?

I wish I could upvote twice. Lamport's writing is _very_ accessible ( at least to this college dropout ) and I really enjoyed reading Time, Clocks and the Ordering of Events. Paxos Made Simple is another favorite: http://research.microsoft

The content of the /html/head/title element is indeed what was entered as the posting title.

That's funny. If they're not a real buyer, does that mean I don't have to declare it as a real income?

You will probably start to. The intel 320 series is getting some attention now [1] with a combination of competitive ( for SSD ) price and enough capacitors on board to flush the write cache on a power failure. You'd likely use SSDs first f

Over the course of my life, a little tidbit of wisdom I've learned, and not heeded enough - like right now - is the wisdom of shutting up. As amazing as the prospect of communicating with and meeting a spacefaring race would be, I fear the

I'm hard pressed to come up with an alternative. Fallout is fissile byproducts falling to ground from the atmosphere after a "nuclear explosion." While Fukushima did not experience a nuclear explosion, the results are similar, if not vastly

I apologize for over-generalizing. I realize it isn't replicating a star. The nifty thing about being a star is that you have this massive gravitational force available as your containment. No matter how we do fusion, we'll likely need cont

Salient points, but for the international collaboration and billions ( well! ) spent on fusion research and decades of promises thats its 10-20 years away. It's a tougher nut to crack than fission. Come on - you can get a pile to start a ch

I disagree, but only because I distrust predictions that viable fusion power is 15 years out.

It would be useful if TFA would acknowledge that their opposing opinion is from a "nuclear analyst" employed by an organization which is founded on the opposition of nuclear energy in general. Just sayin.

The worst part though is that Java developers don't seem to realize this. As a counter, I humbly submit: Scala, Clojure, Groovy, JRuby, and JPython. A collection of languages that attempt to fix Java's (legion) problems, while allowing us

I'll have to get him to run successive compiles and see. The other advantage of this model is that it is upgradable to 16GB RAM, according to OWC and others [1]. The upgrade is a ridiculous cost right now, but it can likely only go down. 1.

Totally depends on what you do: I have a 2.6ghz 2010 MBP with an Intel SSD that has been the screamer at our office for quite a while now. My office mate just got a 2011, and even though he has yet to get an SSD in it yet, he runs our integ

According to TFA, "No advanced mathematical knowledge is required; the book is based on an intuitive and engineering-like understanding of the processes involved in parsing, rather than on the set manipulations used in practice." I'm guess

Depends on your definition of war. Logically, yes. Legally, no, not by US standards - it takes a large flock of congresscritters to do that. I'm mostly glad that the point was made that this wouldn't be an occupation.

Example / citation, please. Pre-emptive counter-example: how would you compare PowerShell commandlet argument parsing to that of bash builtins?
