If so, and if it somehow continues to carry that format forward, since it's just a border on the bottom of the paragraph, select the paragraph and click the "no border" button on the formatting toolbar or Format > Borders and Shading and select the "no border" choice.

When running the server bootup, I keep getting denied permission to install software, download files, etc. I cannot figure out where to go to relax the restrictions or to give myself all godlike powers. I'm the only one who uses this computer so I'm not particularly worried about things other than the usual anti-virus and malicious software checks. Can anyone tell me how to proceed?

You point it at a database and it builds a huge CRUD interface to all of the tables in it. It essentially create lots and lots of HTML pages - each one for a specific data maintenance task. When they say "Write 10,000 Lines of Code in 10 Minutes!", it's true - what they don't say is that isn't you need in your application and you need to clean it all out before starting the real work. If you just want to Create, Read, Update, Delete records in all of your tables, it saves you a lot of time hand coding the interfaces. It certainly can't build a real world application for you. -- Stuart On 13 Aug 2009 at 23:18, Max Wanadoo wrote: > Can this possibly be true? > > http://www.devx.com/IronSpeedVS/Door/17479 > > > Max > > > _______________________________________________ > dba-Tech mailing list > dba-Tech at databaseadvisors.com > http://databaseadvisors.com/mailman/listinfo/dba-tech > Website: http://www.databaseadvisors.com From stuart at lexacorp.com.pg Thu Aug 13 19:28:13 2009 From: stuart at lexacorp.com.pg (Stuart McLachlan) Date: Fri, 14 Aug 2009 10:28:13 +1000 Subject: [dba-Tech] Generate Complete Web 2.0 Applications in Minutes!

All an auto-mated system can do is look at properties and make decisions based on what they "think" the user might want. Very hard to see how to automate intuition and creativity based on tables and data structures. I think it was Dijkstra who said "Program = Data Structures + Algorithms." Hard to see how they can do very much with one element of the equation apart from a maint routine.

It does generate a great deal of code which makes the resulting site a little slow but it will create very functional pages. We've used it mostly for maintenance of all the support tables since it does a good job of creating pages for CRUD on single tables. It took some time to get used to their method of customizing pages but it is fairly powerful. For the main part of our application, we are still coding the pages by hand using .Net and integrating the look and feel was a bit of a challenge since the version we are using does not use Masterpages and all formatting is done with nested tables, but it has saved time.

You can set it up to compile and to invoke specific help files for various languages. If you have AutoIt3 (which you really should. If you are using VBScript a lot, you'll love it!) go to your AutoIt/Extras/Editors/Crimson/ folder and look at the file "Manual Install and Notes.htm". It gives full instructions for how to set up CE to use AutoIt Help file, and Run or Compile AutoIt scripts. You can use the same technique for any other fiile type.

One of the most expense components when selling an inexpensive note books is the OS. Adding a Microsoft OS and Office package effectively doubles or triples the price of the unit... there is simply no way MS can effective (or fairly) compete. To Microsoft's credit they have been give special deals to computer students at the universities. There is one reality and that is that students are poor and universities are strapped for cash. So instead on going out and purchasing a Microsoft suite of development tools the university just download a Linux distro and Java and these packages are what is used to teach the students. Microsoft have fought back by releasing express versions of their development suite for free but it is going to take a long time before there is a positive impact on Java's absolute dominance of the language market.

I, of course, didn't understand half of it but then I don't understand half the code I write either. I really didn't understand the difference between Linux (the kernel) and say Ubuntu, which is merely built on the Linux platform. Like they pointed out in the film I lumped the whole thing into Linux. An interesting hour spent watching a film instead doing what I should have been doing, pouring concrete in my bathroom remodel project. Thanks for sharing.

Companies like Redhat and Debian has subtle different in kernels but most of the changes they make are to the interface components, at the command level to give better functionality with their server class systems. The kernels form the various companies take a very small foot-print. So if you are comfortable with just a command line interface you can say run a Debian server on 200MHz beater with 64K of RAM. The next set of desktop choices at either GNOME or KDE. Gnome is like a MAC interface and KDE is like a windows interface. My preference is to use the Ubuntu distro, with the default Gnome desktop which uses the Debian kernel. Even with the full graphics interface, like Ubuntu, you can boot it up on an 800MHz box with only 256MB... Of course the more the faster. Right now I have all my heavy duty systems running Windows but the older computers run the latest Linux distributions very nicely. They all play together very nicely in a network. Also a number of clients who can not afford to or will not afford to upgrade to Windows, I just set up the new systems in Linux, generally Ubuntu and everyone is happy.

I, of course, didn't understand half of it but then I don't understand half the code I write either. I really didn't understand the difference between Linux (the kernel) and say Ubuntu, which is merely built on the Linux platform. Like they pointed out in the film I lumped the whole thing into Linux. An interesting hour spent watching a film instead doing what I should have been doing, pouring concrete in my bathroom remodel project. Thanks for sharing.

That the Ubuntu workstation could see the new Ubuntu server node as soon as it was up suggested that the problem might not originate in the Ubuntu server box. Sure enough, installing Samba under Ubuntu server made no diff. For any Win box to see the Ubuntu server box, I had to add an entry for the Ubuntu server box to system32/drivers/etc/hosts.

Also make sure that you have the browse option set on in samba (see the article I previously posted) if you what windows to be able to browse the Ubuntu shares. For interest sake there is a new TermServer app for your Linux server: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/UbuntuLTSP/LTSPQuickInstall and http://www.ltsp.org. I have not tried it yet so I do not know how good it is a Linux guru friend recommended it. Well good and good fun.
