I grew up in a Brooklyn NY apartment building. As a young kid, one of my
rainy day after-school pastimes was playing card games with the other kids in
my building. One of the games we played was crazy eights. If you're curious
about this simple card game, check out the Wikipedia description at

Recently I was tasked with migrating a legacy application with distant roots
in version 4, up to PowerBuilder 12 .NET. The trip over to version 12 Classic
went fine with nary a hitch. The ride over to .NET was not too bumpy either.
But then I started to exhaustively drive the code. Figure 1 shows a
screenshot of part of a DataWindow that forced me over to the liquor cabinet
to get the gin. Most of the numbers look normal, but then I noticed those
crazy [8]s in the balance, weight and price objects. To make sure it wasn't
something I h... (more)
Since version 9, PowerBuilder has provided the ability to create front-end
clients functioning in a service-oriented architecture application via Web
service interface technology. Originally the ability was based on the open
source EasySOAP driver. In version 10.5 it was expanded to use a .NET 2.0
compatible driver, and in version 12.0 .NET SOA interfacing was made
compatible with the latest MS WCF technology. In addition, in version 11.0 it
became possible to create a DataWindow object from a Web service data source
definition. Recently I used PB 12.0 to create four versions of ... (more)
Sybase on Tuesday announced the results of a survey gauging consumer opinion
on the forthcoming iPhone 4 and iOS 4 software, finding that many of the new
features are expected to increase the use of iPhone as a business tool. Over
half of respondents who currently own an iPhone said that the new features of
iOS 4 will cause them to use their iPhone for work purposes more often. More
than a third of respondents who don't own an iPhone said they would consider
purchasing one for work purposes based on the new features of both iOS 4 and
iPhone 4.
Over 2,000 Americans were polled in... (more)
The migration march to PB 12.NET will have many shops revisiting legacy
applications. In my previous articles ("Refactoring Is Not an ‘R' Word,
[PBDJ, Vol. 16, issue 12] and "Refactoring Classic PowerBuilder Applications
Using TDD and pbUnit" [PBDJ, Vol. 17, issue 1) you read why refactoring code
before migration helps ensure smooth migration and enterprise integration.
You were introduced to Test Driven Development methodology and saw how you
can use it to ensure successful refactoring. I introduced you to pbUnit, an
open source tool and framework that you can use for both refac... (more)

The expo floor will be open for four full days, November 1-4, 2010, in the Grand Ballrooms A through H.
Half of the Cloud Expo 2010 West exhibit space had already sold out during the last West Coast event in November 2009.
Cloud Expo is the world's leading Cloud-focused event since 2007, and is held five times a year, in New York City, Silicon Valley, Prague, Tokyo and Hong Kong.

Reads: 5,140  By Fuat Kircaali This year's West Coast conference attracted 2,250 delegate, more than double a year ago. As far as the expo floor goes, out of 50 sponsors and exhibitors, 46 companies confirmed during the conference that they will participate in the 2010 Cloud Computing Expo at the same or higher level.
At SYS-CON Media we see our inventories are filling up to 100% capacity for the months of November, December, and January, and we are seeing better-than-normal RFP activity for the first quarter of 2010.

Scott Morrison, CTO of Layer 7 Technologies; and Marty Gauvin, CEO of Virtual Ark. Moderated by Cloud Expo Conference Chair, Jeremy Geelan, this "Power Panel" was recorded at the Times Square studio of SYS-CON.TV in connection with 5th Cloud Expo (www.CloudComputingExpo.com), held recently in New York City...the Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World.

Ulitzer's annual "most influential Cloud bloggers" list was announced at Cloud Expo, which drew more delegates than all other Cloud-related events put together worldwide.

Reads: 5,212  By Fuat Kircaali I can't comprehend that any event producer anywhere in the world today would answer this question by picking any one of the five available options presented. "A leading tool?" What do you mean by "a leading tool?" What other tools would you possibly have in this day and age? This question, the survey itself and its participants belong to the last decade.
I personally don't use email anymore; I communicate through "Twitter."
We don't do press releases unless we have to; we tweet stories to our roughly 12,000 followers in 8 channels. The news gets amplified to hundreds of thousands instantly.
Even during Cloud Expo, we reach more people by Twitter than the announcements we make through loudspeakers in the convention centers.
I would love to contact the people who are conducting this survey and ask them if any company answered their first question as "don't really consider it."
In an age where I personally hail a cab at an airport through Twitter, I can't possibly comprehend which century bubble those people might be living in. Reads: 3,225  Further cementing its position as The Largest Cloud Computing Event in the World, the organizers of the 7th Cloud Expo, being held at the Santa Clara Convention Center, Santa Clara, CA, announced today that the event will also feature – on November 2nd, 2010 – a CloudCamp unconference.
CloudCamp @ Cloud Expo is aimed at anyone working with, or interested in working with, cloud technologies.
"With the rapid change occurring in the industry, we need a place where we can meet to share our experiences, challenges and solutions," said CloudCamp co-founder Dave Nielsen, who will personally be facilitating the process on site at the Jacob Javits. "At CloudCamp," Nielsen continued, "participants will be encouraged to share their thoughts in several open discussions, as we strive for the advancement of Cloud Computing."  By Kevin Hartig Cloud computing is becoming one of the next industry buzz words. It joins the ranks of terms including: grid computing, utility computing, virtualization, clustering, etc.
Cloud computing overlaps some of the concepts of distributed, grid and utility computing, however it does have its own meaning if contextually used correctly. The conceptual overlap is partly due to technology changes, usages and implementations over the years.
Trends in usage of the terms from Google searches shows Cloud Computing is a relatively new term introduced in the past year. There has also been a decline in general interest of Grid, Utility and Distributed computing.
Likely they will be around in usage for quit a while to come. But Cloud computing has become the new buzz word driven largely by marketing and service offerings from big corporate players like Google, IBM and Amazon. Reads: 74,972 |

In SQL Server databases, an Index Allocation Map (IAM) page is a page type that stores the details about the extents, which is a collection of eight pages. These IAM pages are used to navigate through the heap, thereby making the searching process much faster. Well, at times these IAM pages do not exhibit the desired working due to database corruption. Database corruption can occur due to various reasons such as power outages, human errors, damaged hardware components, virus infections, etc. You should find out the cause and the resolution to recover SQL database. If you are not able to recover the database, then you should use a third-party SQL database recovery software to do the needful.
Sending files to and from organizations is part of our corporate communication. What originally began decades ago as simple file transfers between research and government campuses, has become part of business interactions around the world. FTP was the original workhorse that enabled us to send files, but as network capacities grew, so did our need to send larger and larger files.
