Superordenador flash (Feb 29 2004 16:52 GMT) - FlashMobComputing. La idea es muy simple: hacer que la gente lleve ordenadores personales a un lugar y conectarlos todos juntos sobre la marcha para crear un superordenador que pueda entrar en la lista de los 500 superordenadores más rápidos del mundo (para ello, la máquina combinada deberá alcanzar los 550 gigaflops). La cosa se hará el 3 de abril. |

Why use C# for this? (Feb 29 2004 16:51 GMT) - Brad Abrams has a pointer to P/Invoke signatures that were created by the C# team. Why anyone would want to use C# for interop is beyond me. In non-trivial cases, there are way too many opportunities to make mistakes while porting C/C++ header files to C# P/Invoke signatures. Since these cases involve structs and/or structs that contain pointers to other structs, you're ultimately responsible for explicit memory management. You might as well just use Managed C++ and get on with your life : |

Bon Voyage, Aristide (Feb 29 2004 16:51 GMT) - Haiti's embattled president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, has left his country, reportedly for South Africa. Panama, a popular choice for outsted tyrants, including Aristide's predecessor in Haiti, is apparently booked up). One of the frustrating elements of the coverage is that the politics of the opposition is never made clear (maybe they don't have any?). Aristide is a legendary thug, but it seems as if those seeking to replace him are simply more of the same. |

Goldman Sachs Bankrolling Demoncratic Senate Takeover? (Feb 29 2004 16:50 GMT) - We've all heard the stories of Senator Jon Corzine from New Jersey, who as CEO of Goldman Sachs took the company public and pocketed a cool $300 million. After retiring (or being forced out depending on who you talk to) Corzine spent $36 million to win the Democratic primary against former NJ Governor Jim Florio, and more than $60 million total to win the seat.... |

IDNA Convert (Feb 29 2004 16:49 GMT) - IDNA stands for Internationalized Domain Names for Applications. It is a standard described in RFC 3492. It is used to allow language specific characters in domain names, like the umlauts in German, accents in latin languages like French, or even chinese characters. This class allows you to convert domain names between the encoded Punycode notation and the decoded 8bit notation. It simplifies the use of domain names defined with IDNA in applications or scripts. |

Pharma R&D Data Management using an Enterprise Electronic Lab Notebook Approach (Feb 29 2004 16:49 GMT) - Capturing the information generated by research staff by using electronic versions of the paper laboratory notebook is a rapidly evolving application area. The types of data to be handled, and the means by which the data is to be archived, reported, validated and utilised are also changing very rapidly. In his presentation Robert Scoffin of CambridgeSoft gives an overview of the Electronic Laboratory Notebook application area to highlight the advantages of an ELN over a paper-based system. |
