I''ve been looking into RESTful approaches lately. Everything I know my dog, Lelu, taught me. REST (REpresentational State Transfer) is an architectural technique for networked applications first described by Roy Fielding in his dissertation at UC Irvine-- excellent work, especially considering the tempting proximity of Newport Beach. As Lelu described it to me, REST strives

I''m curious -- how many of us came to Rails from other branches of the OO world -- Java, C# -- and how many of us came from the design or non-OO scripting worlds? Reason I ask is that I''m finding Rails a blast and very productive, but I think one reason is that I already cut my teeth on MVC and ORM during two years of writing apps with J2EE/Struts/Hibernate. And in Javaland, it

Hi, My application has a table of People that has information about them, and I want to have a subset of those people as Users - people that can login to the application. What is the best way to do this? Add columns to People that only Users would use? I''ve read the threads on single table inheritance, but it seemed a little bit wasteful: 10,000 people vs 50 users For those more

I admit I am stuck. I am converting a legacy php site to ROR. The old site uses MD5, a security flaw waiting to happen. I upgraded to AAA and am adding code in the session_controller.rb file to see if crypted_password is blank. If it is, crypt and check the password against the old md5 version and write it in the new crypted_password field. Here is my code add on before the logged_in?: def

I''m just looking into how to connect to Oracle using Rails. I''ve got everything connecting and working as it should. I have a Users table in Oracle: create_table "users", :force => true do |t| t.column "username", :string t.column "created_on", :datetime t.column "email", :string t.column "note", :text

Hello All, I am getting a problem while login for inactive users. While login I am getting - Processing by Devise::SessionsController#new as HTML User Load (0.7ms) SELECT "users".* FROM "users" WHERE "users"."id" = 2 LIMIT 1 Redirected to http://localhost:3000/ Filter chain halted as :require_no_authentication rendered or redirected.

Hi list, I'm running into issues with Samba 4.5.16-Debian. I am trying to get 3 DCs to talk to each other and replicate. DC1 and DC3 are on the same subnet; DC2 is on another subnet, accessible by IP. Currently, no firewalls on any of the DCs. Issue 1 - When I run "samba-tool drs showrepl", I get various results: DC1 - Failed to bind to uuid e3514235-4b06-11d1-ab04-00c04fc2dcd2

Well now that I got your attention.... Why RoR sucks: 1. It''s smarter than me. Just when I think I''ll have to do some mundane thing (like I use to in PHP or ASP), I find out RoR does it already for me. 2. It takes about half or less code to put my stuff together in RoR than it did in PHP, ASP, ASP.NET, etc. It seems so unnatural that I can have a method with only 4 lines

Greetings, I have a Win32 app I wrote in C. I compiled the source code for Wine without a problem. The app appears to run fine but it spits out: fixme:msg:pack_message msg 14 (WM_ERASEBKGND) not supported yet I checked all of my code and nowhere do I use WM_ERASEBKGND. Can someone give me a hint on how to get rid of this annoying message? Thank you. Blake McBride -------------- next

First of all I am new to Samba. I successfully deployed Samba 3.0.6 as a PDC w/roaming profiles. All the workstations have a desktop.ini file that shows up on the desktop after joining the domain. The contents of the ini differ from workstation to workstation. >From my understanding this file is a supposed to be a hidden file, but it is not. Any ideas? I apologize if I have not included

Hi, I happened to check the activity logs of my firewall and found that the Samba server (our only linux box) is sending packets out to seemingly random IP addresses on the 'net. They are all directed to port 53, and are being blocked at the firewall, but they're firing off at a rate of 1 every 5-10 seconds. What gives? Have I been hacked, or is this normal or configurable behavior?

Hi, I'm still confused about how to find out what methods are defined for a given class. For example, I know that > today <- Sys.Date() will produce an object of type Date. But I'm not sure what I can do with Date objects or how I can find out. > ?Date refers me to the Date documentation page. But it doesn't tell me how, for example, to extract the current year from a

I''m trying to set puppet up to manage users and groups on an OpenBSD Samba server, but puppet doesn''t want to handle group names with spaces. I know this horribly ugly, but compatibility with windows clients seems to demand groups like "Domain Users" and "Domain Computers", and puppet chokes on them even though the underlying OS handles them at least well

Greetings, I'm building a new 1.1.x-series Dovecot installation, and I have a problem setting up compatibility namespaces intended to handle old client-side settings. (See also: http://wiki.dovecot.org/Namespaces#head-0f3ab5ecab632eb517866c3508021e0605d54d4d) I have produced a slightly cut-down example configuration which demonstrates the problem: # dovecot -n # 1.1.3:

Hi all, (1st time post, I hope this is on topic...) I notice that CMake is listed as one of the C++ projects that clang can build: <http://clang.llvm.org/cxx_status.html> I thought I'd pass on that I've created a nightly build of CMake that uses clang 1.1 (from llvm 2.7) <http://www.cdash.org/CDash/index.php?project=CMake> (search for 'clang') It does build, but...

It seems like a very common expectation that the following code would work: class boo { $me = "/something" file { $me: ensure => present } } class yay inherits boo { $me = "/something/else" } Yet, as many have found to their chagrin, it does not work. Should it? I believe I know how I could make this work: Create a single variable namespace for class

Hi Folks, I'm trying to send CallerID Name information out to the PSTN via a PRI with Bell Canada with no success. With inbound calls (originating from the PSTN) CNAM is received successfully, and we've not had any similar problems with other Telco PRIs, so I'm stumped.

Hello all, I'm using R to produce figures for people who want to be able to edit the figures directly, and who use PowerPoint a lot. I use a Mac, and I'd appreciate any advice about how to approach this. Here's what I've come up with so far: 1) I can use xfig() and then ask them to install Inkscape to edit the files. Downsides are no transparency and a learning curve with
