Hi Everyone,
I've got a question, I'm hoping someone with experience on the Java
self-update mechanism might have an answer for.
My wife uses a custom Java app for her job which involves writing ad-copy.
The app interfaces directly to a NoSQL db and allows her to translate

Hi Everyone,
I just wanted to take a moment and start a thread on the current state
of The Cloud.
While it's not a term I'm particularly fond of, I've found the value
proposition of PaaS like Amazon AWS Google App Engine to be
compelling (haven't really tried any of the others).
Thus far I've
I have seen that even a minor update on the JVM version can cause
application failures. Is it possible for her to revert back to the
previous? And yes, it could have just pointed the java --version to the
updated version even though the older one is still available. You can set
what JVM to use
When people consider the cloud, the major objection I've heard is what
you've already articulated: Data security. In essence, you (or your
client) needs to decide whether the encryption systems and standards
that they have in place, are enough to sufficiently protect the data.
Working this way
Disclosure: I work for AWS.
Also pardon the top post, I haven't seen a phone that can properly trim and
bottom post.
The biggest thing with moving to the cloud is that to fully utilize it's
potential, it requires a different mindset. Take a look at the netflix blog
for tons of information on

things from happening. It was a all hands on deck situation. On the side, I

Agreed. I think that is the biggest problem, that companies think they can do
the same things they have always done and get the benefit of the cloud. And
that isn't really the case. If they don't look at the application from a
cloud perspective all they gain is per hour pricing, which

Yes, it is possible. Is your wife using Windows? Does she launch the app
with a shortcut, or does she just double-click on a .jar file? When you

It might be helpful if you could define what you mean by A keyboard
that doesn't suck. In my experience, keyboards are significantly a
matter of preference, and tolerance thresholds. For example, I love my
split/tilted ergo keyboard at work, but I can tolerate my straight,
undersized netbook

I found what I think is a pretty good explanation what happens when shell

Eg,

not so real time, just what I want.

Nice. I didn't know stdbuf is part of GNU coreutils -- having it (nearly)
