7/7     LDAP question. It seems oriented mostly for reads and single adds.
        Does that make it a poor decision to do things like act as a
        service discovery server for something like Ninja/Jini?
        What's "normally" used? Small database or standard data structure
        in memory?
        \_ I'm not sure I understand the question, but since LDAP is just a
           format it seems like you could implement your own directory with
           LDAP and have it support the discovery/lookup multicast protocol...
           the actual registering of names in that case would be done in LDAP.
           But since Jini groups must be implemented by using serialized
           objects it would be a waste of LDAP's functionality.  Sun's
           implementation of the naming directory, "reggie," is based on
           rmid, which is running on JRMP or IIOP and uses a propreitary
           naming protocol.... if you're implementing all your stubs yourself,
           go for it.  reggie puts things in memory in a data structure...
        \_ I don't see what it has to do with singles ads.
           \_ i am a ninja! bow down to the almighty bunghole! does that
              answer your question?
        \_ SLP
        \_ implement an LDAP server using Oracle
        \_ Can you implement an LDAP server using ED?
           \_ Real men use echo. ED is for whimps.
           \_ Real men use echo. ED is for wimps.
              Show-offs use a magnet to twidle the bits
              on the drive.
              \_ Real Men do not twidle their bits, and not on their hardware.
        \_ Apologies. My question was really about whether or not LDAP is
           poorly suited for an environment (specifically service discovery)
           in which many changes need to be made to te dataset.
                        \_ Yes. Jini will probably make use of Javaspaces which
                                uses serialization and rmi-style registries

12/18   Happy 25th birthday Perl, and FUCK YOU Larry Wall for fucking up
        the computer science formalism that sets back compilers development
        back for at least a decade:

        \_ I tried to learn Perl but was scared away by it.  Maybe scripting

2/5     How is Firefox on version 10, while I still have 3.6 installed.
        I wait for the X.1 versions and they never come out.
        \_ I'm also on 3.6.26.  It claims that versions 4 - 10 are all faster
           than 3.6.x, but do they use more memory?  Thx.
           \_ Newer Firefox versions use less memory too:

6/5     In an effort to stabilize our services, we'll be rebuilding parts of
        the CSUA infrastructure over the course of this summer.  To give us
        some wiggle room, I've temporarily decreased soda's allocated RAM from
        8GB to 2GB.  If you need to run something that requires large amounts
        of memory, please send mail to root@csua.org and we'll try to
        accommodate your request.  --jordan

3/19    When you're explaining the stack to people do you draw it with the
        highest addresses at the top or at the bottom?
        \_ When I explain any memory layout including stacks, I draw with the
           highest addresses at the bottom.  But I've seen people doing the
           other way.  -- yuen

7/25    What's up with that moving bit pattern that Win7 displays when it
        boots up?  (It's the one that's like in the Apple II days when you
        use the graphics memory for code or data while it's still in HGR
        mode.)  Is there a way to disable that?  It slows things down a lot
        every time I reboot my Win7 VM on my office machine if I RDP to the
        machine via DSL.  Thanks in advance.

7/20    For those who care btw, it looks like eclipse is now A Standard Tool
        at UCB ugrad cs, probably replaced emacs.  Furthermore, people get
        angry at seeing Makefiles, (since eclispe takes care of that).  I
        guess it's just a sign of the times.
        \_ The more people at my work use eclipse the less the code is
           managable in emacs.  I'm not sure which application's fault
