Easy, Robust and Stable GUI???
...statistical software in the near future. I thought this might be a good oppertunity to advocate for open source if an acceptable option is available. I have looked around a bit and R seems to be the most stable and mature (not to mention powerful) open source statistical program going. The only downfall is that the school has been using spss for years and would demand a similarly user friendly GUI based statistical program to replace it. I have looked at a few of the R guis and most of them look like they are just command line interfaces in pretty desktop windows and not really a gui like spss....

(OT) Anyone Ever Use http://shopfort1.com as a Broker
I have no affiliation with them but if their quotes are accurate then they provide quite a few options as far as TDM connectivity and realtime pricing. If you do not want a phone call from a sales person, give them a BTN that goes to an IVR or something. They call no matter which box you click as far as "contact me now" "contact me later" "just window shopping".

[LLVMdev] 65bit integer math

It is very bad form to create wide arithmetic where none was there before. This is one of the downfalls of SCEV but I consider it to be minor compared to the benefits. -Dave

Yet more variable scoping pain.

SPOOLSV and XP PRO
...and print server. Immediately upon booting these XP PRO workstations (not all of them), the SMBD process goes crazy again. I've now run into two different PCs that do this to our server. If I kill the SPOOLSV.EXE service in the XP task manager, the runaway SMBD process ends immediately. The downfall is that XP PRO machine then can't print. To dig a little deeper, I tried this: booted the PC, verified that the SMBD process indeed was haywire, then deleted the three network printer configurations from the XP PRO control panel. Boom! That SMBD process ended again. I have enabled devmode...

So, this search thing...
...his I have to resort to using Java to read the PDF''s and then Lucene to index them. My problem here is a couple things. One, to index a asset I have to either fire up a complete new JVM for each asset, or have to the index rebuilt each night at a set time. Each way has their own advantages/downfalls, but the biggest is that Ferret doesn''t like to talk to Lucene created indexes :( doh! So, on to number two. So now I can go at this from a couple angles. I could create a Java webservice to do the indexing and the searching and then return the results. Or I could simply write a small...

[LLVMdev] Garbage Collection Project
...to comment. The only alternative is to use an allocated value but the allocator and > (concurrent) GC are very slow so that gives you the functionality you want but only at a grave cost in terms of performance I find this hard to believe, the GC used in CLR 2.0 is very fast. Surely its only downfall is that it uses a general mark-sweep generational algorithm so some languages (yours may be one of them) may suffer because of its generality. It sounds though as if you are using the fast allocator in the runtime anyway (which most objects do) which is incredibly fast as it does little to no check...

What can be better than that? Let me tell you why this is changing for me and maybe that can help you see what I see. The downfall of most companies is customer retention. To maintain your income in most companies you must constantly replace lost customers. We are different. Our historic customer retention rate is 92.4% Now each new customer increases your income.

... who are nervous because: (a) it seems that there will be a widely-known vulnerability and/exploit for OpenSSH available in the coming days, and (b) the advertised fix for the problem, privilege separation, doesn't seem to be working on AIX as of the latest release version of OpenSSH (based on the comments I've read; I haven't tried it yet) ... ... what should we do?

Re: winbind and unix/nt login match use unix uid - resolved
...> > Any assistance is appreciated. The above problem lies within winbind being used in nsswitch.conf. Somehow when winbind is involved in verification smbd will always use the domain username/uid over the local unix account. As soon as I removed from nsswitch.conf it started working. The downfall of this is that nt users are unable to log into the machine. As my environment does not need this, my solution is acceptable for me. Lex

Peer-to-peer audio codec
A friend and I were recently talking about the possible downfall of Internet radio, and as everyone seems to these days, decided that a nice solution would be to set up a P2P broadcasting solution. However, streaming has a completely different set of requirements than file sharing, with bandwidth and QOS become much larger issues. As such, we started to realize...

Override dead
...em before? What I''d really like is to be able to manually mark an interface as "dead" without actually taking it down or removing it from the load balancing route. When you run "ip route list table balancing", it will tell you if an interface is dead or not. The only downfall is as I explained at the beginning of this e-mail - there are cases where the Linux router itself can still ping the DSL router connected to it, but that DSL''s Internet connection is not functional. If the actual commands I run would be helpful, please ask and I''ll post them (the...

[LLVMdev] PEG parsers? (was Re: Regular Expressions)
...extensible BASIC compiler and interpreter we are building with it that is required to be LGPL due to the runtime libraries. Does the prospect of a PEG based syntax interest the team for the TableGen? They are wonderfully simple to maintain since they don't allow ambiguity of any type. Their downfall is that since they use a greedy algorithm they sometimes degrade performance to O(n) where a nongreedy algorithm would result in O(1). Since the YARDparser is template-based, it should be possible to slip a stringmap into the keyword lookup to bring the performance back up to a more resonable spec...

Keeping data on 2 servers in sync !
I want to build 2 servers (both running samba) to provide file storage to 2 offices (approx 100 miles apart, linked via DSL) but all data writen to 1 server must also be saved to the other server. Both servers would also allow users to access the data via a VPN thus allowing 1 office with a failed server to access the other server via the vpn and still see the data from both offices. I currently

How to stop a user submitting the same data more than once.
I have a standard form built with rails, which a user to my site can use to submit data. Unfortunately one user just managed to submit exactly the the same data three times in a row. From the server logs it seems as though he didn''t use his back button and then resubmit everything. It looks more like he got a bit fed up waiting for the form to process and pressed the submit button three
