 Programming › Re: What's Your Favourite Coldfusion Tag by sbucareer(f): 5:52am On Feb 17, 2007 |
feel that coldfusion is a good programming language Good luck to you and more CF to your elbow. In my last post, I made no reference to any source, I said it was my own opinion This is a free forum everyone is entitled to their opinion(s) It is not just writing script language and providing a good presentation for the web. It is how interoperability, cohesive, [url=http://www.google.co.uk/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+abstraction&meta=]abstaction[/url] and how easily you can decommission the system after lengthy life period and how legacy it would still remain to the new generation language that will be in place in the next few years ahead. In my own opinion, I would still say to throw CF away to forget it ever existed. No personal feelings. Any frivolous language have no parody to leading software vendor. CF is not contingent to programmers even the people that program the system but it is prefer. Advocacy for any language is not my prerogative, although my support for any language both script and plaftform development would have the above mentioned mechanism. I would not even mention OOP. When people see a language with Object encapsulation their mind quickly jump to conclusion that the program is OOP compactible. Can CF persist it Object? How many company including Macromedia is developing Object Database, mind you we are passing the era of relational database. We are entering Object database. Where does CF stand on this? |

How do you know!! smartsoft, it is a language for the weak minded. Very soon people will post that COBOL is the best language for the web. Why are people stubborn? Later you will see them complaining that they are unemployed. Macromedia like the name suggests are good in media particularly multimedia. I can't understand why they are in the web server side script language business. Jack of all trade becomes Jack of nothing. CF programmer are expensive to employ because little programmer are in this area. Remember the law of demand and supply. If you employ one CF, they would act as god in your company and you cannot sack them because you cannot afford to get replacement within a time frame and it could be more expensive for the experience CF. With these fact CF should be thrown inside the burning bush and forget we ever had a script language called CF. MO (My Opinion) |

For window users particularly 9x and 200x go to Start--Program--Accessories--Communication-Netmeeting. You can download Netmeeting for Vista follow MS instruction. Netmeeting allows you to call someone on their Pc by using their unique IP address or window passport (hotmail/MSN). It has been around for long right from Window 95 just that internet was still slow to run voice over IP using 56kb/s (Modem) Alternately you can use yahoo messenger, hotmail messenger, Skype and many more free Pc calls. |

Fdeveloper is very right. J2EE/JEE 5 are just specification developed by Sun Microsystems. Anyone including you can use the specification to build your own appserv like the way JBoss has done. The problem with JBoss and other open source software is documentation and configurations. This is where the people that develope it make their money by employing the developers or someone that has gone in for the training to configure it for you and help with any issue relating to the system. If you like daring and technical whiz kid you can have a look at JBoss. Although the lastest versions are helpful but when you start looking into connecting your database as a global reference i.e. JNDI for lookups within your application and JMS, Web services etc, you would need to seriously read those documentations to get you started. Just learning to write EJB and web component is not enough in today's J2EE role. You MUST be able to write web services, JMS, JNDI, proxy services and cache management using J2EE API |
| Programming › Re: Which Is Best? by sbucareer(f): 5:54pm On Feb 14, 2007 |
I would assume that you are trying the PE (Personal Edition), RI (Reference Implementation) of the J2EE 8.0/9.0 version. Please remember that these versions are for educational or testing purpose. You would require a license to run a full copy with all the necessary patches and support provided for you. If you read the license acceptance when installing the either RI, PE it wittingly said for educational purpose. You would be committing offense if you deploy your appserv as a request/response server. If request and response reaches a level within the application, it will send email notification to sun with your URL, IP address etc, they would send a response message to the server to shutdown request/response unless you have a valid license. Moreover, if your company wants to deploy Java application server and you can influence their purchase and decisions, go for JEE 5.0 with J2SDK 6.0 on a Sun Solaris OS. Finally, for personal use download Java EE 5 and EJB 3.0 FJ-310. Remember that this version is the revision of J2EE 1.x, which means you will spend some time learning EJB 3.0. If you are interested in XML and writing your persistent then go for J2EE 1.x that comes with EJB 2.0 with J2SDK 1.4.X Note ------------------ Personally, I have problems with the J2EE 5.0 running with Netbeans as a bundle. When I run the beans, Jar, war or Ear I get this unresolvable problems. I have contacted Sun and they have not yet return back to me. The J2EE 1.4.x are the best particularly the PE 8.1. The job is that you would have to learn XML and single handedly write all the EJB bean and their wiring using XML. But the appserv is bug free unlike JEE 5.0. The RI still have some bugs when you try to write web services and Java mesages and managing the database connection pool. I would recommend to go for JEE 5.0 as this is where everyone is at the moment. How I solved my problem was to avoid creating EAR (Enterprise Archive). Instead I create each components and write an modify the automatic provided ant script to produce EAR for me and deploy it. I think the problem is in the ant script, so have a good look into the ant script anytime you run into compilation error or deployment error. |

Another interesting thing to me in the IPV6 would be if they could reduce the traditional Hop Limit from 255 both in IP, UDP and Datagram to at least 150, it would be a significant improvement of IPV6 not just expanding the addressable nodes and the new look of the IP address from traditional 127.0.0.1 to 7F:0:0:1 Also remember that there are NAT(Network Addres Translation) users everywhere now. Infact NAT has been the solution before IPV6. MS has a powerful NAT like the Netbeui/NetBIOS have been solving this problems of the IPV4 issues way before IPV6. If you don't understand what is NAT. NAT is ISP giving you one IP or IPV4 and you can create many IP's or IPV4 using a clever device like router to produce private IP address within your organisation. The router has the intelligence to route or NAT all your internal IP to one Public IP given to your by your ISP. This is done by making your public IP address as your default gateway in your router. To make each node on your private IP accessible, routers has a port forwading features. The notion of private and public IP is in the mechanism of Public - any body on the internet can see you i.e your web server database server Private - only people within your internal network can see you i.e. interanet. If you host a web server on this type of IP the internet cannot access your web server thus, intranet. |
| Computers › Re: Microsoft Windows Vista Launched by sbucareer(f): 9:33pm On Feb 13, 2007 |
I hear Pc users squabble over IPV6 over IPV4 (Internet Protocol Version 4/6). Why should we bother ourselves over the growth of internet hosts, hence IPV6. IPV6 promises tighter security over the Internet through the route of packets over IP, still we have malicious code base and virus ever increasing in today's application. The growth of Internet host from 32-bits address space to 128-bits address space will definitely see the increase of internet users and even greater malicious code around the traffic of the internet. To put it in another form IPv6, or Internet Protocol version 6, is a network layer standard; i.e., it governs the addressing and routing of data packets through a network. Moreover, I don't understand any correlation between Mac OS with IPV6 and Window XP with IPV4. Those with IPV4 do not in any way limit their internet application of usage rather those new users trying to join the internet will suffer because internet has run out of address space to accommodate them. The solution to this was the invention of IPV6 from the IEEE in 1980's This is how it works. IPV4 is a 32-bits addressable protocol found in data-oriented protocol to be used on a packet switched internetwork (e.g., Ethernet). What this means that, the entire purpose of IP is to provide unique global computer addressing to ensure that two computers communicating over the Internet can uniquely identify one another. Thus, when you send data from your computer to another computer the Ethernet takes your unique MAC (Media Access Code) address i.e AA-0f-32-75-AD and unique IP address through the Internet to the destination address that must be unique. The problem was IP address was becoming limited relative to the increase of the internet users and devices like cell phone and PDA that also uses IP to route packets over the internet gateway. Now 32-bits can only address 4.3 Billion devices or nodes, that means only 4.3 billions devices or nodes can be uniquely addressed using 2^32. Remember that IP address is in this form Bleep.Bleep.Bleep.Bleep i.e 255.255.255.245 To represent on digit i.e 2 would need at least 8-bits i.e 00000010. To represent 255 would require 000000100000010100000101, therefore to represent 255.255.255.245 would require this addressable space 000000100000010100000101.000000100000010100000101.000000100000100000000101 The address is divided into 16-bits chunks and then converted to Hex delimited by colon i.e 21DA:00D3:0000:2F3B:02AA:00FF:FE28:9C5A Remember that periods (Full Stop) is represented in bibary as well, look at the ASCII code to details. If you look at a digit like 2 requires 24-bits to represent. The is the problem of IPV4. The new version IPV6 will use 2^128 to represent 2. Therefore internet IP will grow from 255 to maybe 300 i.e 355.355.355.345 accommodating more nodes or devices. Finally, what is the business with users of PC or Mac OS with IPV6? Although IPV6 promises better packet routing and security. Internet will remain a hostile environment at long as it is an open source. Internet is like a free expressway where everybody can drive fast and slow cars with police trying to control the traffic and criminals trying to snatch your cars from you pretending to be legitimate police. Expanding the road even further will double the crime committed on the Internet. Even today, hacker have learn ways to mask IP and MAC address of other legitimate users, even some geeks have learn to re-write the MAC address of an Ethernet cards. These electronic students have the means to duplicate IP's and pretend to be legitimate user for a server to grant them access to protected resources. For me IPV4/IPV6 have no direct contribution to using either Vista or Mac OS Reference ------------------------------ 1. IPV6 |

Someone above rightly mentioned Xerox as the original inventor of GUI, spot on and thanks for sharing that. Well the first people that spend millions of dollar researching about pointers i.e Mouse and GUI were Xerox. Because Microsoft has just closed a deal with IBM to provide the code base for both PC-DOS and MS-DOS and both company working together to improve the codebase (Early version of DOS) Xerox saw Microsoft as a viable company to work with. Since Xerox will like its hardware to be PC/MS-DOS compatible, Xerox offered Mr Gates all their hard work research about their GUI so that MS will make its new Window 95 Xerox compatible. Moreover, Vista is NEVER a copy or imitation of Mac OS. I don't know where you people get the idea. Look and feel does not mean the same. For a start the filing system is different. The partition and kernel command interpreter are totally different. MS was responding to 64-bit CPU and motherboard, particularly the server side and desktop. Vista was the vision AMD saw about five years ago when they ventured into 64 bits CPU for serious gamers and application like genome and large hungry database application that sits on the ALU cache (L1) and the invention of Core 2 Duo from Intel. The other reason is financial dominance within software industry. Mac OS is best suited for graphic application and most Mac games, period. But most games are written for Direct X because common sense shows that there are more PC user to Mac. Mac making their chips to work with x86 architecture is a direct evidence to compete with MS on the game platform. Finally, Vista is here to stay and believe it or not sooner or later you will be force to upgrade because MS will stop all support on XP and 2003 OS that include patches and compatible driver for newer hardware’s. So, start to save for your Vista upgrade. |

If money wasn't the issue here, these are my recommendations for serious gamer Motherboard Gigabyte GA-N680SLI-DQ6 or Intel motherboards This board comes with SLI for dual/quad graphics card application CPU's, you can go for Intel or [url=http://www.amd.com/us-en/Processors/ProductInformation/0,,30_118_9485_9488,00.html]AMD[/url] If you are really a gamer, go for AMD motherboards and CPU. For Graphics cards, go for Nvida XFX GeForce 7950GT Video Card or pick from this [url=http://about.pricegrabber.com/search_attrib.php?page_id=5&form_keyword=XFX%20GeForce%207950%20GT&mode=about_peripherals&rd=1]Nvida list[/url], make sure the ones you pick are SLI ready. The motherboards above come with Serial ATA, ATA that interfaces with IDE are quickly fading out. Although there has been arguments with the amount of speed SATA can read/Write. Manufacturer boost of 3.0GB p/s and some say it is not up to that. Whatever the speed is it is lager that ATA IDE that read and write at 133MB p/s. Also buy DVD, CD-ROM with SATA, same speed. Go for DDR2 memories and buy the same make. Don't buy different makes, although it would work fine but gamers you'd need the same make for thoroughoutput to your speed. Make sure you buy monitor with [url=http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=deskbar&q=define%3A+TFT]TFT[/url] technology that can draw up to 2560 x 1600 resolution Make sure you are running a 64 bits motherboard and CPU. Download and buy games written for 64 bits application. Run window Vista 64 bits RTM with latest directX 10 that is 64 bit compatible. Finally, for gamers run a watercooled case like this ones |

| Computers › Re: Windows Vista by sbucareer(f): 10:32pm On Feb 02, 2007 |
I am not a MAC OS user but I have heard good things about MAC OS particularly among graphic designers and anti MS. The rhetoric about Vista is the coming age of Dual processor into one chip and the infinite possibilities of 64-bits CPU compare to 4GB ALU in CPU, unlimited intensive applications like games, medical application i.e the genome and some powerful compilers and application server like Sun Java. In the good old days we had 16/32-bits CPU and application. What it meant was that your application can only hold 4GB ALU (Arithmetic Logic Unit) of integers, hence 2^32 = 4294967296. But imagine the amount of calculations your CPU can hold and process, hence 2^64 = 18446744073709551616, which is about 18PB (TB= Petabytes) These sort of computer power will see us till the end of this century. Although applications of these sort are not very popular but I know that Microsoft Office 2007 is on 64bits version and 34bits version. Although, MS are not the first people that started 64bits application business, AMD are the first company that first produced 64-bits CPU, the AMD-K6 because of its popularity in the gaming community. Soon, Intel followed by producing Itanium and Xeon which are on both 32/64-bits binary integers. But they had bugs and never did hit the market like the AMD Athlon 64 etc. Many companies started developing 64-bits application to take advantage of the 64-bit chips architecture. Now, Intel came with a new technology to combine two processor into one, providing L1 cache bridge and L2 cache bridge amalgamating it to produce L3 cache bridge that works simultaneously to produce a much powerful ALU at a beeps of 3.6GHz, that is mind blowing. At the middle of all these inventions, Mr Gates as usual takes the advantage of these and produced series of OS called Vista to make full use of these hardware. I don't think for a bit that Mac OS is anywhere the same with Vista. There look and feel may look the same but the architecture of both are very disperse in nature. Many hardware like [url=http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&sourceid=deskbar&q=define%3A+SLI]SLI (Scalable Link Interface)[/url], motherboards running at 1333Mhz, [url=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+Sata]Serial ATA[/url], [url=http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=define%3A+PCIE]PCIE[/url]. Take a look at the Gigabyte motherboard, every component is quad compactable. Conclusion, MS vista is here to stay. In the next two years MS will stop all supports on their XP, Window 2003 etc and force everyone to upgrade or migrate to Vista. The only thing that is stopping me is hardware compatibility. The Vista RTM (Released To Manufacturing, a synonym of Gone gold.) to me is Vista OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Many hardware manufacturer are working hard to make their hardware Vista compactable. Moreover, I am still waiting for the first Vista service pack and probably lots of patches to any bugs that they may uncover before it is ultimately Gone Gold for me. |

Just technical information. DOS (XP) 10.2 need at least 16MB to load all the kernels, it needs at least 640KB (Conventional Memory) to load the special applications and system commands. I know with your configuration, your graphics card will be embedded in your system board, hence requiring more memory from your RAM, at least 4MB. Your mouse and keyboard need some memory, let say 1.44MB. Sound card if you have one would need memory. In nutshell, let say you need minimum of 40MB. Remember your partition table (FAT/FAT32/NTFS) would need memory for the partition table on load time. DMA (Direct Access Memory) would need a table to communicate with the CPU. This is how it works. Every peripheral within and outside you computer must have a name. There name is address (00000h to 9FFFFh.) mapped to a lookup table, the lookup table is mapped to another table that hold the reference to an I/O interrupt (Input/Output) that is how the CPU talks to all these devices and it needs memory to create their addresses. That is why you cannot run window from a CD-ROM. If you are left with 24MB of memory, when you open internet explorer and adobe reader at the same time you will run out of RAM and your computer will simply crash because it has ran out of space. I don't know the price in Nigeria but 256MB here in London is £10, at least 60GB HD would get you going. Budget around =N=5K |

Although some people are superman and very eager to undertake any task just to get paid. When it comes down to the crunch it become dooms day. Believe me, application form solution can take you six months to correctly define. Have you considered these type of applicant? 1. Telephone enquiry 2. Website enquiry 3. Face-to-face at the school 4. Transfer from another school 5. Defer student for more than two year like student defer to go and have baby and placement students The list goes on and on, I know you did not think about this, be honest? There are even more unforeseen problem with application. Let me show you a DFD (Data Flow Diagram) because we are dealing with data of a typical application form of an enrolment system. That is just context diagram and System/Level 0 DFD. It could go up to System/Level 20 DFD Believe me when I say that the DFD above is erroneous and is open for academic interpretations. But to some extend it will do for a basic application. The main and important type of this sort of myriad application development is authorizations. How do you group users and access rights? Or can anyone login to the system and view all the finance record or student results? How do you keep log of users, when and time they logged in and the group application they logged into and what operations do they perform? My brother, there are many problems with this sort of application development. Even as big as Microsoft is they have never consider to research and produce enrolment software that we all think they should. The only company that provides credible enrolment software I know is SAP and one American company, I can't remember their name. Now, think of the problems you would face in Library system? How do you write software to differentiate the same book from another. Remember you must supply the same book like ten copies if students want to borrow it. How do you automate your system to produce inventory for late book and apply fees. You have to keep record of date students are graduating so they cannot borrow more books and to automate the students that have borrowed books and are graduating and alert the result system to withheld their result until they return the books and all fines paid. Think about other complex problem associated with enrolment system. Senu is right, you should consider already made solution. If you are IT enthusiast, you can open you own firm and start researching about solution to enrolment system. That is how Bill Gate started by writing OS that was high in demand at his time. He bought QBASIC and modify it to become BASIC that ran in Atari machine, which was the only personal computer they had in those days before IBM produce IBM PC compatible that also ended up runing DOS upggraded version of BASIC and they keep upgrading it ever since. Today we have BASIC version of upgrade called Vista 1 Like |

@Afam You disappoint me. I read your post with great anticipation and mutate your arguments in my conversation with other peps. Ministers in either a parliamentary or presidency system of government are employed by their party leader. The party leader (President/Prime Minister) hold the power to appoint or sack any minister. In retrospect, they work for the party leader. If a minister do not like what his leader is doing they can easily resign (That is what Dr Ngozi did). This is not the first time she has resigned. His Excellency President OBJ once write a personal letter of apology to her, when she was first appointed and the President knew little about her. It is in our constitutional law of 1999 that the VP, ministers and all the Secretariat workers work for the office of the president. Even the police, army, marine and the air force are all under the office of the president. I don't fully understand the judiciary and the national assembly where their power limits. I said this because they seem to object every move OBJ does to VP, Atiku. Dr Ngozi in my view has helped the banking section and many other departments task under her command. I will not enumerate all her achievements. If you are interested you can buy her biography and read. If you really want to know what she can do give her your mandate for the presidential ticket and see how that country would change. |

When we talk about Microsoft, people's mind immediately goes to Bill Gates. Well Bill is a genius no doubt. He majored in Mathematics at university before he meet Paul Allen (Co Founder of Microsoft) that was a computer Science student then. You also have to mention Steven Anthony Ballmer. Also remember Ms Melinda French the project manager at Microsoft Bob, who later married Bill Gate and have three children. These people are very important pioneers of Microsoft and all of them today are $billionaires. They are the best breed of Harvard university with the help of Bill Gates mother to set the ball rolling. Reference 1. Bill Gate chronological photos 2. Gate history 3.

When you say school management software, do you mean Academic Enrolment System? Well it is a very complex solution; don't listen to anyone here that can provide you a solution by himself alone. It is a myriad task. You need to define you domain problem first and an analyst will consult you with a solution. I said a solution not the solution. In the Uk the major problems universities have is enrolment system. You have to consider how to integrate these systems in your School Management Software 1. Library 2. Application for entry 3. Courses 4. Staff 5. Students 6. Facilities (Class room) 7. Time table 9. Finance (School fees) 10. Alumni (Ex-students) 11. Results 12. IT infrastructure (If you plan to have a IT infrastructure) 13. Students that are part-time staff 14 etc. This is not just coding the software. Lot of this project lifecycle i.e. 80% would be in definition of problem domain and producing prototypes to validate and verify the specification. Unless you want a student to acquire lectures without paying their fees or Student borrowing books without ever returning it without your knowledge etc. If you are going to buy a solution from Nigeria developers ask them which other schools are using it and go and investigate to see if the have any complains with the solution and to what ends is it relevant to their solutions. I did a research paper on this on my year two that is why I know it is very difficult task. Many post-graduate students still take Academic Enrolment Software as their area of research because there are no proper solutions for it at the moment. But saying that, there are good solutions for this purpose though. I would recommend you to try and design or solve one problem at a time like Finance, then move to another solution like application. When you have managed to solve most or all these problem call a software engineer to integrate all these solutions for you. The real benefits are, during each solution you would find out more problems and hopefully address them. This way you do not buy gigantic software with bits and bobs not working and bugs all over everywhere, very frustrating.

Are you not sure that this is another babylon strategy to provoke state of panic to the running up of the April general election. This is coperatetoracy and ways for WTO, G8 and CIA franchised media to bring down the Africa most populous and intelligent nation down. Well, Babylon is in desperate moves since the invasion of Iraq, Afgan and international rhetoric with Iran, bossing every nation in total dominance. Naturally, media around the world are known for writing personal opinion, sentiments about the state and affair of people and nations. Since media are owned by private individuals who may or may not have the interest of their country for a financial handed-outs from the Babylon to further achieve their political ambitions in Africa and around the world. Dr Nogozi, should run for the office of the presidency IMHO. She would give her rivals a run for their ill-gotten money. Since population always stipulates that females are more to their male status. I for example would give her my vote and I believe many men would. Not because she is from some geo-political region, but for her scrupulous contribution to the Nigeria banking sector. Babylon will suffer for all the crimes they are committing today, God if you exit rain down your judgement we need it now and forever anon, Amen. |

seun: There is no country or politician worth dying for. Tell anybody who wants you to die for him to go to hell. This is really youthful exuberant talk. The fact that living is good for only the living, sometimes living could be equally as good as been dead. Many of these countries one aspires to go and live because of the political stability and economic opportunity is the reaffirmation and struggle of many people who died for their country to shape it for their future generation. If you are a parent undoubtedly your perception would not be the same as today. Onyeka Onwenu said that children are our insurance of old age Our children are the future of Nigeria. There is this saying that if you think about yourself before your children, you are not fit to be a parent. As a parent, you should be prepare to die in other for your kids to live. United kingdom, the USA and other developed nation one time in their struggle for freedom and peace were as bad as this Nigeria. The only different is that the people were ready to die for their children to live happy and that is what a good parent should do. Whether you are a parent or not, patriotism should be a rhetoric concept. It goes both ways, the country would fight for you if their integrity is in question like the USA and Britain does. The struggle of emancipation is never cheap but a precarious people can make difference in their generation. I know you do have your opinion on issues but sentiments and bilateral thinking in this capacity would not benefit the great nation of Nigeria. I do not mean senseless death but a martyr. If you think that Wales, Republic of Ireland, Scotland got there freedom from England by becoming complacent in this manner, well they did not. South Africa did not get their freedom from been complacent. The first thing that we need is unity. If lower class Nigerians could unite today and for a very strong allegiance to all member state, the coalition would move the rulling power to listen to us. Many would die. If I die for my children to live a good life, it is better that becoming bloody software engineer or Microsoft. Reference 1. Harold Smith |

hmmm, OBJ lose again!!! I still do not understand these interpretations of the 1999 constitutional laws, particularly sections 135, 142(2), sections 142, 143, 144 and 146 Also can some legal members of this forum explain for us section 308 of 1999 constitutional law. Is Atitku playing with laws or is he just above the law? I can't see in under any circumstances why he escaped all these laws, allowing VP to vacate his office and not resign to become a flag bearer for another party. I have beginning to wonder if he is invincible to the rule of law or is the whole of Nigeria including OBJ taken for a mog? |
