Herrmes: Lol, Liverpool, Chelsea and Atletico Madrid are selling clubs,.Nothing you can do about it, if Barcelona were the ones that owned Suarez who would even bid for him talkless of trying to buy him? however I reason it's surely better than the way you do, can any one offer to buy Ramos from Madrid? Madrid are not a selling club and you wanna buy their Indisposable player, How about you go to Bayern Munich and bid for Robben or Ribery? Do you get me now? If Sanchez was an asset to Barcelona he never would have been sold, that's the simple logic and you know its true, Barcelona are not a selling club and they sold Sanchez because he wasn't influential!

What's with the selling club? Every club sells and buys players that is the simple fact. You clearly don't know what u are talking about

Hi i am currently doing some IT consulting work for a medium sized firm and one of the core issues that we are currently trying address is to improve overall performance of their website by reducing request-response latency and one solution we are seriously considering is to replicate/cache static contents on a CDN. Is there anyone out there with first hand experience of working with CDNs? Your opinions will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

1025: ok mr. gibberish. this reminds me of those days when we were learning how to use dictionary. as soon as you get hold of a new word like this, u will be singing with it and engaging urself with discussions to enable u utilize your new word which to u looks like a weapon of mass destruction. i dey enjoy u mr. gibberish. i am expecting more gibberished and giberishized and gibberishation as a gibberishing gibberishism. when u gibberishastically land on the gibberishatic gibberish.
how many words can u form with that word - gibberish?

shot up ur smelling mouth mumu

dayokanu: Teaching illiterates and agberos sense

Ok thank you for the teaching Mr literate. You can now go to ur thread of literates.

dayokanu: Learn how to speak English first.

Though we know all Arsenal fans are illiterates and mostly agberos

Since u are so literate then what are u doing on a thread of illiterates and agberos?

dayokanu: when you havent won a spoon since Pope John Paul died, beating a newly promoted Cardiff isnt the benchmark of breakthrough

Bayern is waiting for you

Abeg quite ur smelling mouth. Who are u to determine what is and what is not the benchmark.

dayokanu: Beating Cardiff is now what some twats celebrate

This still wont stop you from being trophyless

entered 4 competitions before October ended already crashed out of 1

Make Eledumare just pair Gayyners with Bayern so we can do the needful as usual

Guy why u dey fool ur self? What is wrong with celebrating a win over Cardiff? Last time i checked Cardiff are a professional football club with international players.

dayokanu: To remind you of how inconsequential and worthless Arsenal is in the comity of clubs

Guy u are a secret arsenal fan in denial.

dayokanu: Jealous of Arsenal?

I support a team that won the treble less than 6 months ago. So explain how I would be jealous of a club thats been trophyless for 7yrs

Does it make sense that Dangote would be jealous of a homeless beggar?

If dats the case why u come carry arsenal matter for head na. Afterall u dey support club wen win treble abi why not go and celebrate the treble with ur club and leave trophyless club alone.

dayokanu: In other words I am saying Arsenal would end up trophyless as usual and a German team would win the treble

Dude stop being jealous of arsenal and focus on supporting ur team pls. Abeg no go kill ur self becos of arsenal. What an irony the more u hate the more arsenal keep winning

This is a tricky game in terms of the outcome. Chelsea will have to concentrate for 90mins becos schalke have the quality to purnish them if they switch off at any point in the game.

Austeenx: Arsenal should win.
BvB battling with injuries ain't cool.

If you haven't heard, SO HAS ARSENAL, so what is your point?

Mourinho may have won more trophies but in terms of overall quality of work wenger is far better. Also wenger has more respect in world football not just becos of trophies but becos of his overall contribution to the game as a whole. I personally think he is a rare breed very professional and articulate and a legend in the making.

Both FP and LOC are units of measurement for software size. The size of a software that is subject to development is required in order to come up with accurate estimates of effort, cost and duration of a software project. Most parametric estimation models such as COCOMO accept size expressed in either FP or LOC as input. Personally i prefer functional size of software expressed as FP for one very important reason: Size expressed using the FP metric stay constant regardless of which programming language or languages are used. Since the industry has more than 700 programming languages and almost every application uses multiple languages, the consistency of FP metric allow economic studies that are not possible using LOC metric. Function points can be seen as a universal IT-currency converter, giving a synthetic measure of the size of a software. For instance, it takes about 106.7 Cobol statements to construct 1 function point of software. It takes 128 C statements for the same 1 function point.

Why did chelsea sell sturridge? In my opinion he is better than all the strikers they currently have.

1025: it is possible wenger did this under durex. so wenge in his life now believe that a player is worth 40 million plus. u sold van persie for 24 and now buy ozil for 40 plus.
for u arsenal fans, it is yet too early to start celebration because what u have just done many teams in epl have been doing.
now the focus is on ozil to deliver. it is going to be pressure on for breaking the unbreakable record of the most stingy man alive.
we are expecting him to defend, distribute and score goals at will.
then again, there is an empty shelf of which if by chance, something enter that shelf this season, it will then be a confirmation that money buys trophies because with cheap players, wenger has tried many years and failed.
arsenal fans must be greatful for ex-players like Adams who openly told wenger that bitter truth.
those of u who have not celebrated anything since 2006, at least, u have ozil to celebrate.

Dude it is now clear that u are a secret arsenal fan.

Dude to be a good computer science student is not only about programming.You are also required to have good knowledge in other areas such as data structures, algorithms, networking, compilers, OS paging/scheduling, machine learning etc.

Anyone intrested in pursuing a career in software testing? If your answer is yes then I suggest that you consider preparing and sitting for the ISTQB certified tester exam (Foundation Level) this certification will definatly give you a headstart in software testing. As I always tell people you don't have to be a programmer to have a career in software development.Software development encompasses programming and other important activities.Testing is one those important activities.Professional testing of software is an essential task that requires profound knowledge of testing techniques.For more information checkout the ISTQB URL here: www.istqb.org

Hi all java gurus in the house pls could any of you be kind enough to suggest reliable frameworks and middleware platforms for the development of enterprise-scale distributed P2P applications in java thanks in advance.

Mastering a Programming language in terms of its syntax and semantics is a good start but I strongly believe it is also important for u to master the various frameworks associated with your chosen language becos without good knowledge/understanding of frameworks it is impossible to develop a proper application in my opinion

kwenu: webdezzi no i m not trying to harvest anybodys login information, and i am not working constructing a site that requires login information. as i figured later that yahoo is not the best example i should have used for illustration here.


The website i am working on has no API but it allows registration/Application form but its currently offline, i have succeded in constructing an HTML registration page of the site, now if i register data on it but later want to get the data transfered to the site when it opens online, what program can biuld a bridge between them so that data from the offline HTML webpage can be tranfered to the original site webagei.e registration form . but take note that the site does not offer user Login details.

Please i need your advice

Dude for u to connect an online server with an offline server u will need a message oriented middleware(MOM) such as a message queue. There are scores of message queue implementations available(both closed and open source) like rabbitMQ, MSMQ etc

If for example u are developing an application using object-oriented paradigm and u have pesistent objects u wish to save to a persistent storage mechanisim, u could opt for an object-oriented database rather than conventional RDBMS to avoid the problem of O/R mapping that is inherent with using a RDBMS.

The purpose of university education in computer science/IT is not to turn u into a professional programmer although u may take some courses in programming but generally u do not need a degree to become a good programmer. In my opinion, a programmer is a craftsman. If u look at software development from a holistic(i.e from requirements to coding) perspective u will be inclined to agree with me dat programmers are simply language/technology experts.

Have u guys not heard about Isco?

@javadoctor my point is that java does not provide native support for implementing user-defined domain-specific value type. Which is a shame becos the concept of value types in object-oriented paradigm is as important as reference types. C# for example provides this support through the use of Structs.

Both reference and value objects are complementry concepts used in every mordern object-oriented software system.In java, the concept of a value type is reduced to mean "primitive data types" like integer, float, or string.The most prominent advantage of value objects over conventional reference objects is that value objects are side-effect free since values cannot be referenced, they cannot be shared in different contexts thereby omitting many of the side-effect problems that haunt large conventional object systems. Also value objects are inherently more efficient than reference types in terms of performance.Pure object-oriented proramming languages like java for example suggest to implement everything as an object.My experiences in a number of development projects suggest that this approach is counterproductive, if not outright harmful. In my projects, i therefore do not only work with conventional object types, but also with domain-specific value types to overcome the problems a naïve object model causes. Some examples of value type abstractions include dates, currencies, monetary amount, account numbers, address etc. Values in computing are instances of value types. Want value objects in java? Then check out JValue a value object framework hosted on sourceforge.

In my opinion, learning any programming language is not very difficult. The difficult part is learning and mastering the various frameworks associated with the language.

ConPaaS is an open-source runtime environment for hosting applications in the cloud which aims at offering the full power of the cloud to application developers while shielding them from the associated complexity of the cloud.ConPaaS is designed to host both high-performance scientific applications and online Web applications. It runs on a variety of public and private clouds, and is easily extensible. ConPaaS automates the entire life-cycle of an application, including collaborative development, deployment, performance monitoring, and automatic scaling. This allows developers to focus their attention on application-specific concerns rather than on cloud-specific details. Want to know more? see here: http://www.conpaas.eu

Ilkay Gündoğan of Borussia Dortmond for me is one of the best midfielder in the whole of europe. This guy has impressed me every time i have watched him play. He is absolutly fantastic.He is strong, energetic and technically gifted.

Seun: Thanks for the write-up. Can you describe how you practice CI, why you started, and the benefits and challenges compared to what you were doing before?

@seun, Here is a brief summary of the answer to your question(s):

1. Benefits of CI:
On the whole I think the greatest and most wide ranging benefit of Continuous Integration is reduced risk. The trouble with deferred integration is that it's very hard to predict how long it will take to do, and worse it's very hard to see how far you are through the process. The result is that you are putting yourself into a complete blind spot. Also if you have continuous integration, it removes one of the biggest barriers to frequent deployment. Frequent deployment is valuable because it allows your users to get new features more rapidly, to give more rapid feedback on those features. There is a much greater sense of visibility, because problems are detected faster. Since there is less time between introducing a fault and discovering you have it.

2. Description of how to do CI:
There's no fixed recipe here - much depends on the nature of your setup and team. But here are a few things that we've learned to get things going.

One of the first steps is to get the build automated. Get everything you need into source control get it so that you can build the whole system with a single command. For many projects this is not a minor undertaking - yet it's essential for any of the other things to work. Initially you may only do build occasionally on demand, or just do an automated nightly build. While these aren't continuous integration an automated nightly build is a fine step on the way.
Introduce some automated testing into your build. Try to identify the major areas where things go wrong and get automated tests to expose those failures. Particularly on an existing project it's hard to get a really good suite of tests going rapidly - it takes time to build tests up. You have to start somewhere though.
If you are starting a new project, begin with Continuous Integration from the beginning. Keep an eye on build times and take action as soon as you start going slower than the ten minute rule. By acting quickly you'll make the necessary restructurings before the code base gets so big that it becomes a major pain.
