In my asp.net application, users can upload / download files and ASPX files are accessed by the user later (it must implement security at the code level, because it would be better to use the application with minimal permissions to run). So now I have to save these files and where is the best place to store them. Should I give permission to record low in the current project to create or should I create a separate like "www.mydomain.com/files" and up virtual directory. I also want to prevent restarting the application domain. What is the best option to deal with this situation?

Hello there,
I have a SAS 9.2 OLAP installed on my Windows XP computer. I have an OLAP cube containing sales data of all sales agent in our company including me. When I was trying to access my user id. I get stuck into this error message.
The application encountered an error verifying the following

I had no problem using this user id before but is it possible that I can see this error message because my user id is no longer valid in our company database? Has anyone had the same trouble using SAS 9.2 OLAP?

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

I love traveling and going to places with beautiful views. I don't know how to really describe it but the sight of something new and vastness of the scenery makes me feel at ease. I'm a New York City junkie =). Whether its sitting by the turtle pond in Central park and reading the wall street journal on my Ipad, watching a movie on the Bryant Park outdoor lawn or catching up with friends at lounge or bar after work... Im there. I love staying active and the feeling of accomplishment after a good run. I want to do all the 5 borough half Marathons this year and maybe do the ING NYC marathon. If anyone reading this wants to just train together, Im totally down. I love going out and doing things randomly. I feel like things that are usually planned have a tendency to wrong but things done in a spontaneous nature seem keep things alive.

Subject | [PATCH] fix for issue #44761 |
Date | Sun, 06 Apr 2008 19:22:26 GMT |
Please find attached a patch that solves issue #44761 (https://issues.apache.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=44761). The issue is about apr_uri_parse not setting the uri.path variable to '/' when the url is something like "http://localhost". I've based the fixes for apr_uri_parse and apr_uri_unparse on the comment of the path member of apr_uri_t in apr_uri.h: /** the request path (or "/" if only scheme://host was given) */ So, apr_uri_parse now sets uri.path to "/" if no path part was found in the url. If in apr_uri_unparse the path is "/", it's not added to the url when the url is of type scheme://host. Lieven Log message: [[[ Fix for issue #44761. The relative path of an url is '/' when the url is of type scheme://host and the path part is empty. * test/testuri.c (aup_tests): Add new test case 'http://localhost'. * uri/apr_uri.c (apr_uri_unparse): When unparsing an uri structure, the path is '/' and the url is of type scheme://host, don't add the path. (apr_uri_parse): When parsing an url of type scheme://host, set uri.path to "/". ]]] | |

Living With Amputation: Gracie Rosenberger's Story
In 1983, I fell asleep while driving and slammed into a concrete abutment. The only memory I have of the wreck was seeing both of my legs pushed over my right shoulder. The damage was catastrophic: My ankles were pulverized, every bone from the waist down was broken (one surgeon counted nearly 200 fractures), and several of my organs were damaged.
After lying in a coma for three weeks, I awoke to a new life of constant pain, loss, and brutal challenges. I was only 17 years old. I felt terrified, heartbroken, and overwhelmed.
How to Turn Down the Noise in Your Life
By Meg LundstromLearn to manage the distractions that sap your concentration — so you can find your focus and your peace of mind. Your boss is bugging you to hand in that status report, your husband wants you to sit down and talk finances, your son needs help with his science project. You're feeling the urgency of it all, yet here you sit, frittering away precious minutes, Googling from link to link or flipping from channel to channel. Pretty soon you're consumed with guilt and frustration...
Read the How to Turn Down the Noise in Your Life article > >
Following dozens of surgeries, as well as physical therapy, I learned to walk again. After getting married, I defied the odds and brought two wonderful sons into the world. I used a cane for a while, but as time went on, it became too painful to bear weight on my legs, and I started using a scooter.
Deciding to Amputate
But some things just can't be fixed, and the damage to my feet and ankles led me to a horrifying but inevitable decision: I had my right leg amputated in 1991 and the left amputated in 1995. Although it was the correct decision medically, when I pulled the sheets back and saw what was left of my legs, I wondered, "How can I live like this?"
I took that despair and rammed it into a passion to live large. Stepping into the world of high-tech prosthetic limbs, I not only learned to walk, but learned to snow ski -- on advanced slopes. More important, letting go of my legs allowed me to step into an amazing life journey.
Pushing for Better Prosthetics
In 2003, I began speaking and performing at events at military bases around the country. In 2005, my husband, Peter, and I established the nonprofit Standing With Hope to help amputees in developing countries. We launched the program in Ghana, West Africa, where many people are amputees. There, amputation is the first resort in a medical crisis, not the last, yet few can afford the price of good prosthetics. Today anyone in Ghana, from members of parliament to people who live in the streets, can get a state-of-the-art prosthetic device. (My policy is to not put a limb on anyone that I'm not willing to wear myself.) We also train local technicians to make prosthetics for their own people. We trained a team in Togo this fall.

He is an amazing dog and has great ability to learn and has great insticts. He swam for the first time at the age of five months and swam like a champ, retrieving bumpers the same day. He responds to fetch it up and dead bird like he was born with that knowledge. He responds to duck calls and immediatly looks in the air for them. Over all he is the best behaved dog we could have imagined recieving and we wouldnt ask for any different. We know he will be am amazing bird dog and cant wait to get him out on the field next season. Jerry is a great breeder and assured us the potential of Diesel. We believe he was 100% correct and Diesel has turned out to be like nothing we expected. Eric HIlary Submitted by: Timonthy M. Snowden on Jul 24, 2009 Jerry:At 6 months old all this dog will do is find birds by scent, hold point on them, and then fetch them when I shoot them. How am I going to win a National Field Trial with him at 8 months at this rate? All kidding aside, he's everything you said and more. The only thing holding this dog back is his trainers lack of experience. I shot 20 birds over him that he pointed in the last week and a half, 5 of them were planted pheasants. He likes getting the pigeons, but he LOVES the pheasants. It almost looks like he gets high when he fetches one. He's holding point extremely well, and he's just about got the whoa command down pat. I can stop him in his tracks in the field most of the time. He responds real well to most of the basic other commands of here, heel, and kennel. He's finding birds by scent alone, and learning about the pitfalls of the field like rattlesnake avoidance and cactus. I can't wait to get him after some wild birds this fall. I wish I could keep him out there with me to work with but it's just not practical. If you need better photos for your website or something, let me know, I have the uncondensed versions that are a MEG apiece or so. Timothy M. Snowden P.O. Box 289 Penrose, CO 81240 Submitted by: Dan and Claudia Volland on Feb 26, 2008 I have attached 4 pictures of Burning September Simmerdown (Sep), the last male lab pup you had in September of this year. I want to say thank you for bring a part that we had lost back into our lives. It was tuff at first when I brought Sep home. He was so full of himself. Hard headed but would try to please. He is a very strong and full of life. We were not going to hunt this year because of our loss, but Sep has brought life back. Sep started to grab things and carry them from his first day with us. Within a week, he was out by the pond and pulling leaves and twigs out. By October he was on the scent of passing quail. So anyway, training began just for the fun of his interest. Next thing you know we are out in the field and the riverside ponds and inlets. Sep has never stopped or even slowed down. He is VERY aggressive in thick brush and slow water or ponds. I wish I would have taken my camera sooner so you could see him on the ducks. These pictures are from Sunday December 2nd down in the valley in a free hunt area. We got a late start so we didn't hunt any ducks but got a lot of quail and pheasant up. Sep used his little nose all day and brought back 4 quail and 2 large pheasant males. In October, at 3 months of age, Sep went out on his first hunt bringing in 3 teal, 2 wood and 2 green heads. This small pup swam in side waters of the Yakima and brought them back like he had been doing this all his life. We have gone out every weekend since. Sep is a baby and doing better than some adult dogs that have hunted for years. He has much to learn but what a start! Thank you Jerry and Claudia! Dan and Claudia Volland |

Right up to the last moment, I wasn't sure if I should use the preamble I had prepared. The point I wanted to make in the preamble was that I believed Singaporeans were going to be instinctively resistant to the idea of constitutional redrafting. Our aversion to taking risks, our long indoctrination in the idea that political experimentation would be extremely dangerous for a small, vulnerable city-state with no natural resources or strategic depth to rely on (yes, a habit of mind formulated by the ruling People's Action Party, but today espoused by many as almost biblical truth), would likely mean that the idea I was about to float would be dismissed as a foolish, hazardous pipe-dream.

A second republic
Published 8 February 2015 homosexuality , knowledge and belief , politics and government , religion , society and culture 2 CommentsOurselves through Istanbul
Published 7 January 2015 business and employment , personal perspective , religion , society and culture , urbanscape and environment 6 CommentsThis spot on planet Earth has been inhabited for well over two thousand years — as Byzantium, Constantinople, then Istanbul — and was a great cosmopolitan capital city for 1,500 of those. Merchants and scholars from all over the then-known world flocked to it.
I can't say, however, that it is cosmopolitan any more, certainly not by the standards of London, New York, Paris or Sydney today. Or even Singapore. Istanbul has a cultural homogeneity that our more nostalgic romantics might wish we had. Continue reading 'Ourselves through Istanbul'
Oysters and diamonds
Published 6 January 2015 media , on being human , personal perspective , society and culture 28 CommentsIncome and wealth inequality has become an albatross around many governments' necks — Singapore's included — provoking distrust and resistance to policies.
Meanwhile, readership of the Straits Times is falling. Media academics have pointed out that the Straits Times, in blindly following the direction set by the People's Action Party government, does the government no favours. Sheepishly echoing government edicts alienates people. Continue reading 'Oysters and diamonds'

Haram to speak of ham
Published 3 December 2014 homosexuality , media , on being human , politics and government , religion , society and culture 15 CommentsIn a rare smackdown of a reader, the Straits Times dismissed a reader's demand (link) that it tailor its editorial content to suit his sensibilities. The incident flashed across social media for a day or two, with approving comments, then disappeared.
This is what the reader, Idris, wrote:
I think it's worthy to note that there are many Muslims who are readers of The Sunday Times. I was quite disturbed by the fact that the paper's edition on Oct 5 which falls on Hari Raya Haji featured a distasteful article in the Sunday Life! section ("Cheat Sheet: Ham"). The Sunday Life! food critics could have been more sensitive to the events that unfolded for some Muslims on this religiously auspicious occasion such as the sacrifice of cows or sheep. They could have chosen a food-related theme and perhaps discussed lamb cuts. At the very least, avoid discussing non-halal food (food that Islam sanctions against consumption such as ham). Local journalists should practise more sensitivity and respect local cultures, at least for the most important races in Singapore.
Flats are not houses, think hospital beds instead
Published 30 November 2014 economy and finance , knowledge and belief , society and culture , urbanscape and environment 7 CommentsWhere we go wrong is in our use of words. I have always cringed when Singaporeans use the word "house" to mean their flat. I may be old-fashioned in this respect, but I would only use the word "house" when I refer to a dwelling that sits directly on a plot of land; I would not use it for a pigeon coop in the sky. If one looks at international usage, that's probably the norm.
The wrong choice of words affects how we think of something. Words come with associations and values. I'd argue that our careless choice of words warp how we think of Housing and Development Board flats — public housing in which 85% of Singaporeans live.

In our circus, few understand what 'equal protection of the law' means
Published 19 November 2014 court cases , crime , knowledge and belief , law , politics and government , society and culture 13 CommentsAndrew Loh posted a 'scratch head' article recently about the contradiction between what then-Minister of State Halimah Yaacob said in 2011 at a CEDAW conference in New York and the Court of Appeal affirming Section 377A to be constitutional. In A difference of opinion between the gov't and the Court of Appeal?, he quoted Halimah as telling delegates at that UN conference that
The principle of equality of all persons before the law is enshrined in the Constitution of the Republic of Singapore, regardless of gender, sexual orientation and gender identity. All persons in Singapore are entitled to the equal protection of the law, and have equal access to basic resources such as education, housing and health care. Like heterosexuals, homosexuals are free to lead their lives and pursue their social activities.
But just a month ago, the Court of Appeal ruled differently. Continue reading 'In our circus, few understand what 'equal protection of the law' means'
Ever so gradually, almost imperceptibly, people whom we normally associate as 'establishment types' are beginning to moot the possibility of the People's Action Party (PAP) losing power, and discuss its implications. Ho Kwon Ping, former chairperson of government-owned Mediacorp, said (as reported in Today, 20 October 2014) the party could lose its dominance in parliament in 15 years, or lose power completely in the second half of the next 50 years. Responding, Han Fook Kwang, former managing editor of the Straits Times, turned the question around, asking himself: Under what circumstances can the PAP remain as dominant in the next 50 years as it has been in the past? Even though his essay (published on Singapolitics 11 November 2014) sounded more like helpful advice to the party, the unsaid implication is that if none of the three scenarios he sketched occurs, Ho Kwon Ping's prediction may well be borne out.
Han added too that "These discussions might seem odd to external observers when there isn't a successor to the ruling party in sight." Indeed, this is a question posed to me from time to time, especially from foreign academics, journalists, and on a recent occasion, by a diplomat recently arrived in Singapore.
My answer to this is that this very question indicates a tendency to view politics in Singapore within a western democratic frame, where parties or coalitions of parties alternate in power. I think this is misleading; it is important to stop accepting as fact the PAP's propaganda that we have a democracy. We have little more than a veneer of democracy masking what is essentially an authoritarian system. It is more useful to analyse our politics as a contest between power and resistance. Or at least between power and frustration. Not as a choice between party A and party B.
The problem faced by anyone wanting to organise resistance to the PAP is that those most ready to resist aren't of one mind. They are spread out over a range of opinions, from those nostalgic for a simpler, amber-hued time, to those who conceive of a Singapore in a starkly different, reimagined way. To make things even more complex, individuals can hold different positions along this sweep depending on the issue, e.g. someone can hold positive views about immigration and a future more cosmopolitan Singapore, and yet be rather Marxist in his diagnosis of our economic ills. Another person can be quite nativist, almost racist, when it comes to resisting immigration while hewing to free-market libertarianism.
There is a notable person who is, in all sincerity, pro-human rights, but is stridently opposed to equality for gay people. Go figure!
Every unhappy person is unhappy in his own way.
Our (small) opposition parties therefore have a hard time finding enough commonality to build a sizeable support base. If they try to please as many people as they can, spread widely over an opinion field, many will accuse them of being wishy washy. If they try to articulate a clear position on any issue, they may find insufficient support.
The ruling PAP has two huge advantages: incumbency and familiarity. This is not unusual. Parties that have been in power for as long as it has always enjoy these advantages. In addition, the PAP has wielded its incumbency to shackle opposition parties and civil society with rules and bans, and place loyalists in all key administrative positions, in order to prevent opposing centres of influence and power from growing. At the same time, the old dictum "better the devil you know than the devil you don't" works in its favour. Large numbers of people may not be enthusiastic about the PAP, but they are reasonably happy and there is safety in sticking with the known.
Unless a charismatic leader emerges, able to attract large numbers of voters towards him (or her), future elections are not really for opposition parties to win, but for the PAP to lose. This is most likely to happen when its much-vaunted competence is seen to decline. Frustrations build up and people start to desert the right end of the opinion field and migrate leftwards as in the diagram below (Please note my use of "left" and "right" does not connote political ideology, only to relative positions on my diagrams). The process looks like one of a comet breaking up.
But inevitably, like those who have migrated before them, they start spreading out across the opinion field too even if the centre of gravity moves leftwards. While this shift makes elections a lot more competitive, it remains difficult for any single opposition party to capture support. The frustrated voters remain divided and opposition parties are likely to stay fractious.
Malaysia's experience as UMNO and the Barisan Nasional's vote-share declined is the salutary example. Anwar Ibrahim is a nearly-charismatic figure who managed to hold things together for a while, but otherwise the opposition parties remain badly divided in terms of ideas and policy platforms, reflecting the diversity of anti-UMNO feeling.
Singaporeans should not fool ourselves into thinking we can shift from a PAP-centred system into an alternating-party system smoothly. The probable course is one of a very messy, drawn-out transition. Naturally, the PAP will stoke fears of paralysis and a huge economic price to pay, to avoid judgement day for itself. Particularly for the more risk-averse types among Singaporeans, these fears will resonate.
There may indeed be some loss in efficiency as coalition politics with temperamental shifting alliances become the order of the day. However, competence is not a fixed trait, but an evolveable and adaptive one. Even as new ministers take the helm, the fools among them will soon be booed out by a newly vocal and re-politicised society. The quick learners in the new cabinet will prove themselves before long. That said, it may take a generation before politics settles into a new pattern — whatever that may be.
It is not easy trying to predict when the tipping point away from PAP-dominance will occur. Ho Kwon Ping has said it is at least 15 years away. Han Fook Kwang avoids any prediction. But political systems can break as unexpectedly as mechanical parts. For the PAP, once its aura of invincibility is broken, it cannot be put back together again. Which, I suppose, explains why is it so freaked out by a fear of "freak results" at any general election.
But right now, my abiding sense is that paralysis is already upon us. The PAP appears to be paralysed by its own fears of losing ground that it cannot do more than tinker at the edges of anything. It cannot up-end its tried-and-tested models lest an experiment goes badly awry, be they models of economic growth, housing policy, the social compact or its instinctive throttling of opposition parties and civil society.
So maybe that should be opposition parties' unifying battle-cry: Enough with the paralysis! Time for a new Singapore. And hope that voters don't notice it is just as policy-empty as can be. But have some sympathy for them. What else can they do when Singaporeans, frustrated with the PAP, are all over the place?
Khaw finds obedience school 'meaningful'
Published 15 November 2014 knowledge and belief , politics and government , society and culture 14 CommentsThe recent controversy about a 'riot control exercise' reveals a blind spot among ministers and not a few decision-makers and 'grassroots' surrounding them. They seem unable to see a point of view that is emerging in Singapore: what I would call the 'Post-independence generation' outlook. This outlook is subtly but importantly different from that of the People's Action Party and its devout followers in terms of how they see race and nationality in our society. PAP et al see race and nationality as a reality we have to accept and work with, but the new outlook puts a moral (dis)value on such distinctions and want us to actively avoid using them.

How to help ripped-off tourists
Published 9 November 2014 business and employment , law, crime, court cases , society and culture 17 CommentsThe past week saw a remarkable story of how people here rallied to redeem Singapore with no help at all from government agencies. After video surfaced of Vietnamese tourist Pham Van Thoai on his knees begging for a refund from a callous shop owner, over $14,000 was raised within a day on Indiegogo to help compensate him for his loss of $550. According to reports, news reached all the way back to Vietnam, earning much praise for Singaporeans.
Yet, I daresay that for every one Thoai, there must be a thousand more tourists and local shoppers scammed by get-rich-quick businessmen (and women). Ad hoc bottom-up indignation and fundraising, however laudable in one instance, cannot be a practical solution to a persistent cancer. We need a structural response, and in the nature of structural responses, the role of the state in implementing one cannot be avoided. Continue reading 'How to help ripped-off tourists'

Well im hopin it doesn't run that much b/c the baseline tune will just be good enough to get it to run safely with more power, then after i get forged internals i'll go back and get a more in-depth tune. There's a guy over on svtperformance whose gonna try to make it cheaper to use the 03/04 supercharger. So if he pulls it off i might go that route. Here's the link to it. http://www.svtperformance.com/forums/showthread.php?t=225887 Sounds good if it works.
Was that including the cost of the tuner? Because thats not bad, i gotta look into it up here in washington see what kind of tuners there are, if there good, and how much they'll charge
LMMC-CT (late model mustng club-connecticut) had a group thing. Tahts what I paid total, tuner and dyno time. I'm sure it would be a little more for just one guy, prolly around $4-500 for the tune, including dyno time. Like I said, it was just a reflash of the stock pcm, no flip chip. I already had a MAF calibrated for the 42's. So I'd talk to a reputable tuner and find out what he'd need to tune your car correctly. That way you don't need to spend $ and time having him fix things when you're there. Again, I'd strongly urge you to stay away from an FMU, and just go w/ a tuner kit, injectors, fuel pump, and a calibrated MAF. I think buyfordracing.com has a good deal on the 42's w/ a lightning MAF.
Ya im thinking now i might just hold off on the supercharger till i get a good 5000 dollars so i cover any hidden costs that may come up when tuning or with anything else. Im looking at the end of next summer, hopefully earlier. Since i have no job while in college, its prob gonna wait unless i get one which im thinking about doing. Also by that time maybe there will be a reasonable priced turbo kit that comes out too. who knows. Thanks for all ur guys help.

Communication with the RDBMS is via the Structured Query Language (SQL), which includes statements such as CREATE TABLE, INSERT (add a row), UPDATE (change a data item within a table), DELETE (remove a row), and SELECT (return a report). The "SQL schema" or "data model" is a collection of CREATE TABLE statements that prepares the RDBMS to accept data items.
For example, suppose that a Web site developer wished to record
subscribers to an email newsletter. He or she would create a new
table called mailing_list
with two
columns (also sometimes called "fields"), email
and name
, both text strings that can be up to 100
characters in length ("varchar(100)"):
create table mailing_list ( email varchar(100), name varchar(100) );
After a series of INSERT commands, the contents of this table may be viewed in a spreadsheet format, e.g.,
by typing a SELECT statement such as
name Philip Greenspun email@example.com Bill Gates firstname.lastname@example.com Scott Adams email@example.com
select name, email from mailing_list
Each row in the table is also referred to as a
record. Note that, unlike with a desktop spreadsheet
application, every data item in the same column, e.g.,
, must be of the same data type (in this case a
character string).
II. What is a database application?
A database application is a computer program whose
primary purpose is entering information into and retrieving
information from a computer-managed database. Some of the earliest
database applications were accounting systems and airline reservation
systems such as SABRE,
developed between 1957 and 1960 by IBM and American Airlines.
Users interacted with early database applications, such as SABRE, by typing at a terminal connected directly to a mainframe computer running the database management system. The IBM 3270 terminal, introduced in 1972, was a very commonly used device. The terminal had no ability to process information, but merely displayed characters or "screens" sent from the mainframe.
Software development for an early database application was simply
software development for the mainframe computer, which executed all of
the program code centrally. Software was developed in assembly
language, a "second-generation language", or one of the
"third-generation languages" developed in the late 1950s and early
1960s, e.g., COBOL, Fortran, or PL/I. Whatever conventional
programming language was used, there may have been embedded database
commands in a specialized query language.
III. Client/server database applications
A client/server database application is a system in which the programs
to organize data and interact with users have been split up among a
central server and distributed personal computers. With the
development of the inexpensive personal computer in the 1980s, it did
not make sense to have a central mainframe do all of the
work. Programmers realized that substantial performance and
interactivity improvements could be achieved by distributing some of
the logic, especially software related to user interface, to machines
on users' desktops. The central computer (server) was
retained, but it ran only the database management system (DBMS). The
personal computers on users' desktops (clients) ran the
software that displayed menus and reports, drew graphs and charts, and
sent queries and transactions to the DBMS. Instead of screens and
keystrokes being communicated from the central computer to the
desktop, the desktop PC would send queries to the DBMS and receive
results back in exchange. As the rise of the desktop PC coincided with
the rise of the relational database management system (RDBMS),
conceived in 1970 and introduced commercially in 1979 by Oracle
Corporation, the most common language flowing between clients and
servers was SQL.
Rather than the IBM 3270 terminal protocol, the specifications for the screen or "page" to be displayed are sent in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML), which is a specification or format for a document (analogous to the format in which Microsoft Word, for example, might save a file to disk). The structured data in HTML is distinct from a programming language, which generally either express a step-by-step algorithm for a computer to follow or specify a computation to be performed.
Here is an example of a one-sentence .html page:
The source HTML behind this page is a file whose entire contents is the character string "Texas is really big." In other words, a plain-text string of characters can be rendered by a Web browser as an HTML document. Every word appears in the default font and face.
Suppose the author wishes to emphasize the word "really":
This is accomplished by surrounding the word with an "emphasize" tag: "Texas is really big." The Google Chrome browser, used to create the above screen shot, after reading the EM tag, elected to display the word "really" in italics. That's the markup part of HTML. A typical HTML document looks more like the following:
Here's the HTML behind the preceding page:
  <title>Facts about Texas</title>
Texas Facts

 Texas became a state in 1845.
Geography
 Texas has an area of 268,820 square miles.
 ... a new paragraph ...
More
 Wikipedia article on Texas
After the BODY, which represents the start of the document to be displayed, "Texas Facts" is marked up as an H2 headline. The HTML then specifies a horizontal rule (HR) across the page, includes a sentence about Texas's statehood, and then marks up the word "Geography" as a smaller H3 headline. At the bottom is a link to Wikipedia using the A tag. This is the hypertext part of HTML. As noted above, HTML is structured data representing a document. It is not a programming language and lacks the most basic capabilities for programming, e.g., it is not possible to instruct a computer to add two numbers via HTML. There is no "ADD" tag.
Here's the Perl program that generated the preceding page:
# the (above) first line says where to find the interpreter
# for the rest of the program
# any time we print, the output goes to the user's browser
print "Content-type: text/plain\n\n";
# now we have printed a header (plus two newlines) indicating that the
# document will be plain test; whatever else we write to standard
# output will show up on the user's screen
# Get the current time as a string.
$current_time = localtime();
# Run a program to get the system status.
$system_status = `/usr/bin/uptime`;
print "As of $current_time, system status is:\n\n$system_status\n";
Note that the output displayed by the browser is a combination of
static text, e.g., "As of" and "system status is:", and information
obtained or calculated by the running Perl program. All of this is
happening on the server; all that the browser knows is that it
received a stream of plain text characters (based on the "text/plain"
Content-type sent by the first line of code in the Perl program).
The structure of one of the page scripts shown in Figure 2 is best
explained by example. The flow chart below uses an example of a bank
customer logging in to view the most recent transactions to his or her
account. After typing in a username and password, the customer clicks
on a "view transactions" link. This causes the browser to request the
link "/transactions" from the Web server, which will run a page script
(short computer program) in response. The page script will connect to
the RDBMS, query the
A critical part of almost any SQL schema is a set of integrity
constraints. These are restrictions on the data that will be enforced
by the database management system. Without integrity constraints, a
company's valuable data may gradually become inconsistent as a
consequence of small mistakes in computer programs that use the
database. In the case of this example one-table data model, the
programmer has added two integrity constraints on the
or the programmer could add an additional table so that home, work,
and mobile numbers could be stored for each subscriber:
Which application pages must now be changed?
Examples of tools that enabled people to develop "screens" or "forms"
without using a standard programming language included Oracle Forms, dating back
to the early 1980s, and PowerBuilder, a popular tool for building
graphical user interfaces (GUIs) introduced in 1991. Generally these
products were called "Fourth Generation Languages" (4GL), to
distinguish them from "third-generation languages" such as COBOL and
Fortran. A more or less complete list of such languages and tools may
be found at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/4GL. Because
a standard relational database management system can be queried
programmatically to determine the names and structure of user-defined
tables, an early standard feature of these 4GL tools was the automatic
generation of basic data entry or retrieval forms and pages. E.g., if
a table had 10 columns and the 4GL programmer started to build a data
entry form, the 4GL tool would offer a menu asking which of the 10
columns should be included in the new form and then generate a
prototype. The human programmer could edit this automatically
generated code by, for example, adjusting the order in which fields
were presented or changing the length of an input box. Various
Microsoft tools, including Visual Studio (introduced in 1995, but
incorporating older software), included similar features and
popularized the term "wizard" to describe software that led a human
through a series of menus and eventually created a computer
program based on the choices made.
One advantage claimed for these 4GL tools was
"platform-independence". The PowerBuilder or Oracle Forms programmer,
for example, did not need to produce separate versions for Microsoft
Windows and Apple Macintosh computers. The tool developer, e.g.,
Oracle or Sybase, would write some operating system-specific code and
then the customer's 4GL program would execute on top of
that. Companies that installed a mid- or late-1990s release of the 4GL
tools would have an additional option of running their 4GL application
on a Web server. End-users would then interact with the application
through a standard Web browser making HTTP requests and receiving HTML
pages in return. Using this method, some companies were able to make
internal database applications work as Web applications without
writing any new software.
V. What is a Web-based database application?
The '226 patent's title includes the phrase "Web-based Database
Application". What does this mean? It is simply a combination of the
systems described above, i.e., "a computer program that can be used by
a user sitting in front of a standard Web browser whose primary
purpose is entering information into and retrieving information from a
computer-managed database". No additional software needs to be
installed by end-users. The computer programs on the server, however,
are modified so that they rely on a database management system (DBMS)
for storing and retrieval of information. The user requests pages by
URL, as before, and in response the server will run computer programs
(page scripts) that will generally access the DBMS and then merge the
results with a template in order to build up a complete HTML page to
table, and then merge
the data items received back from the database with some fixed HTML (a
"template") in order to build a complete HTML page to return to the
customer. The final HTML page as viewed by the customer will contain
some boilerplate content from the HTML template, but also a list of
recent transactions that have been queried from the RDBMS.
VI. How were Web-based database applications built in the 1990s?
For a Web-based database application being built from scratch, the
classical development process included (and still includes, as of
2011) the following steps:
Note that Steps 5 and 6 will be repeated throughout the life of the application.
A. Steps 1 and 2 Example
Suppose that the programmer learned from the business manager that a
goal was to add a feature to the company's Web site whereby visitors
could sign up to receive email notifications of new products. The
result might be the development of the following SQL schema:
This is a SQL command that tells the RDBMS to make space for a new
table called create table mailing_list (
email varchar(100) not null primary key,
name varchar(100)
. This table will have two
columns, both variable length character strings.
This single table can be considered the application
database as it holds all of the data to be processed by the
column: not null primary key
. The
not null
constraint will prevent any program from
inserting a row where name
is specified but
is not. The manager said that the company did not
want to require a full name, but needed the email address in order to
send out the announcements. The primary key
tells the database that this column's value can be used to uniquely
identify a row. That means the system will reject an attempt to insert
a row with the same e-mail address as an existing row and therefore
prevent customers from receiving duplicate emails. Note that a
real-world SQL schema could have additional constraints, e.g., that
submitted email addresses match a pattern that included an "@" in the
B. Step 3: Copy data into the RDBMS tables
If the company already has a spreadsheet containing customer names and
email addresses, the next step might be to copy those data
items into the new SQL table:
Note that in this example there is some information about the
structure and organization of the information in the spreadsheet. We
have data items that are pre-divided into rows and columns. This makes
it a much simpler task for a human to write a program to transfer
these data items into the corresponding columns of the
Philip Greenspun firstname.lastname@example.com Bill Gates email@example.com Scott Adams email@example.com mailing_list
C. Step 4: Write application pages (computer programs)
Finally the human programmer will write the application pages (page
scripts) that make it possible for end-users to interact with the
contents of the database. At least the following pages are likely to
be required:
Note that the structure and function of many of these pages are
predictable and flow more or less deterministically from the SQL table
definition. For example, the signup page will offer "email" and "name"
fields. If it offered a "phone number" field there would be no place
to store the entered data. Due to the predictability and repetitive
nature of writing the software to run in response to requests for
these URLs, a programmer even in the 1990s might rely on a variety of
automated and semi-automated tools, sometimes called "wizards", to
help in developing at least the skeletons of these pages. Typically
pages produced by a wizard would require editing by a
human programmer in order to create a functional and useful application.
D. Steps 5 and 6: Change the data model and application pages
Suppose that a manager asks "Wouldn't it be nice if we could also ask
folks for a phone number?" The programmer could add a column for up
to 20 characters (allows country codes and symbols such as "+" and
alter table mailing_list add (phone_number varchar(20));
create table phone_numbers (
email varchar(100) not null references mailing_list(email),
number_type varchar(15) check (number_type in ('work','home','cell','beeper')),
phone_number varchar(20) not null
In this example, as a consequence of a very simple change to the data
model (adding the ability to record phone numbers), 5 out of the 7
computer programs (in bold face above) that constitute the application
must be changed. Every change is conventionally done by a human
programmer opening a file in a text editor and typing, which creates a
risk of an error being introduced into what had been a perfectly
functioning application.
VII. Approaches to automatic generation of application code in the
Simultaneously with the rise of the RDBMS and the 1980s client/server
world, enterprises continued to ask "Can we cut the cost and time
required to develop database applications?" Expert programmers have
always been scarce and do not necessarily have the best understanding
of business requirements. Furthermore, it was observed that once the
SQL tables and columns had been defined, portions of the likely
structure of the application could be sketched out by a computer
program. If there was, for example, a table called CUSTOMERS with a
column CUSTOMER_NAME, there would need to be a form where a new
customer could be entered, including a field for CUSTOMER_NAME, and
also the application would need to include a form for editing the value
of that field, in the event that the customer was acquired or
otherwise changed its business name.
A. automatic code generation without using a client/server tool
PowerBuilder and similar systems from the client/server era saved a
lot of programmer time, but many of their features, e.g., the ability
to generate programs that would run on a desktop computer, weren't
necessary in the Web era. In 1999 a small group of programmers
building Sharenet, a knowledge sharing system for Siemens, made an
independent effort to reduce development time, revision time, and
errors introduced during revisions. The programmers built a complete
machine-readable specification of the application and then wrote a
program-to-write-the-program. The program-to-write-the-program read
the specification of what needed to be stored and how it was to be
presented to end-users and generated all of the computer programs (SQL
schema plus page scripts) for the application. When Siemens requested
substantial changes to the application following a test of the
prototype, the changes were made to the machine-readable specification
and the entire application was quickly regenerated. This process is
described in "Metadata (and
Automatic Code Generation)", a chapter within the MIT Press
textbook Software Engineering for Internet
A more common approach taken by 1990s programmers who were given the task of reducing the amount of custom software development for individual applications was building computer programs whose behavior varied depending on information stored in the DBMS. For example, Viaweb, which became Yahoo! Store in 1998 and still exists under Yahoo! Small Business, offered multiple online stores, each for a different merchant, but served by a common set of computer programs and database. The programmers could predict that nearly every merchant would want to store, for each product, a name, a description, and a price. However, a camera shop might want to record and display "Lens Mount" for most of its products, reflecting whether a particular item was designed to fit onto a Nikon or Canon camera, for example. Yahoo! Store allowed a merchant to define a "custom field", which resulted in metadata (data about data) being recorded in the database and the interface for that particular merchant's customers to be updated to show Lens Mount. The same metadata would result in the administrative pages for the online store including options to set or update the lens mount field.
A later example of the "custom field" technique is photo.net's photo
sharing system, developed in the spring of 1999 as an MIT student
project (and still running today at http://photo.net/gallery/). More
information about the development of this system, including the SQL
schema that supports it, is available here.
The file system is a standard part of most operating systems
and allows named collections of information to be stored persistently,
e.g., on a hard disk drive, and then retrieved by name. The file
system on a server is no different than the file system on a desktop
computer. Furthermore, the file system on a separate physical machine
can typically be read from and written to just as easily as the local
file system. If a group of physical or virtual computers are
cooperating to deliver a Web application, they may share one file
system so that they can all load the same application pages and so
that information written by one computer can be read by another. In
that case, a separate computer, physical or virtual, would be
dedicated to running the file system and would be called the "file
server". A variety of cloud computing providers offer a file system
service; examples include Google Storage and Amazon S3. These free the
owners of the application from having to purchase and maintain server
hardware or worry about backing up information in a file system.
The database management system (DBMS) allows multiple
simultaneous updates to be handled in an orderly fashion and at the
same time as queries are responded to. Very commonly, the DBMS is a
performance bottleneck and therefore is often split off onto a
separate computer, physical or virtual. A "database server" requires a
combination of software and hardware (though the hardware could be
virtual). Examples of popular DBMS software include Microsoft SQL
Server, MySQL, and Oracle. Administering a DBMS can be challenging,
particularly because of the availability and reliability
required. Therefore some cloud computing services offer database
management systems, albeit with many fewer features than traditional
RDBMSes such as Oracle. Examples include the Google App Engine
Datastore and Amazon SimpleDB.
All of this software could run on any general-purpose computer running
a standard operating system such as Unix or Microsoft Windows. In the
early days of the Web, it was not uncommon for a programmer to host a
Web site on his or her desktop computer. The resulting site would be
accessible to others within a company (if the desktop machine were
connected to a local-area network) or Internet users around the world
(if the desktop machine were connected to the public Internet, a
common situation at universities). As Web sites grew in popularity, it
became common to use dedicated servers to respond to user
requests. Starting in the late 1990s, the virtual
machine IBM idea from the 1960s was resurrected. To achieve total
isolation between two Web applications, for example, each could run in
its own virtual machine on top of a single physical machine (i.e., a
physical computer). Initially this was done by the owners of physical
machines for their own purposes; today it is possible to rent
virtual machines from a number of different "cloud computing"
providers. A heavily used application, such as Facebook, will require
multiple computers (physical or virtual) to handle all of the
requests. (http://www.datacenterknowledge.com/the-facebook-data-center-faq-page-2/
quotes a Facebook employee saying that "When Facebook first began with
a small group of people using it and no photos or videos to display,
the entire service could run on a single server" and then notes that
"as of June 2010 the company was running at least 60,000 servers")
VIII. Hardware and software required to host a Web-based database application
The software required to host a typical Web-based database application
includes the following:
The HTTP server program processes requests from browsers and
delivers responses to those requests. A response could be the contents
of a file, a "not found" error message, or the output of running a
computer program. Popular examples of HTTP servers are Apache and
Microsoft Internet Information Server, and generally an efficient
means for running short computing programs in response to Web requests
(the old CGI standard is functional, but not efficient). Examples of
additional software that might be loaded into the HTTP server include
a PHP processor or Microsoft Active Server Pages.
IX. U.S. Patent 6,832,226 (the "'226 Patent")
Going back to the six steps involved in a hand-authored Web-based database application:
The set of computer programs referred to by the '226 Patent would
eliminate most or all of this labor and all of the required technical
training. See Col. 1:39-41: "development of web-based database
applications without needing a programmer or web developer;" see also
Col. 1:44-46: "the ability of a user to change the look and feel of
the application pages without needing a programmer or web
"The first byte of each page seems to be a type identifier, for instance, the first page in the mdb file is 0x00, which no other page seems to share." "In Jet4, an additional four byte field was added. It's purpose is currently unknown." ... (more)
The challenge starts in a similar manner to that confronted by the archaeologists who uncovered the first tablets in Linear A, the written language of the Minoans around 1800-1450 B.C. They had obtained a stream of symbols, but didn't know what any of them meant and, if they were phonetic, did not know any words in the Minoan language. [Despite more than 100 years of effort, Linear A remains undeciphered to this day.] A computer program that receives a stream of 1s and 0s must first decide whether it is a stream of 64-bit "words" for a PlayStation 3 Cell processor, a stream of 32-bit "words" for an older Intel Pentium chip, a stream of 8-bit ASCII characters, or a stream of 4-bit "nibbles" holding binary-coded decimal digits.
Suppose that Program 2 of the '226 Patent is able to determine that the bits in an uploaded file represent 100 decimal digits. That's tremendous progress over "a string of 1s and 0s", but many interpretations of these 100 digits remain. The uploaded file could be a complete 100-digit number. It could and almost surely would correspond to 100 digits within the infinite sequence of digits of Pi. It could be ten 10-digit phone numbers. The '226 patent refers to a program that can figure out, from among the infinite number of possibilities for interpreting these 100 decimal digits, what the numbers represent, pick a name for the database table to store this information, divide the information into rows and columns, pick one or more column names, and pick data types, e.g., "number" or "date", for each column.
A simpler concrete example is the application data "7567075703". Here are some possibilities for interpreting these digits:
with one column, whole_number
, of type char(10)
with one column, five_digit_code
of type char(5)
; two rows (or "records") will be inserted
into this table, one for each zip code
with two columns:
product_id char(3), quantity integer
with one column,
, of type integer
The '226 patent then populates a computer-readable specification of everything relevant to the new application. This specification, similar in concept to that used for the 1998 Siemens Sharenet project described above, is itself stored in database tables called in the patent the "data dictionary tables" (Figure 11). The data dictionary tables have the same names and structure (number and type of columns) for all applications. Each application, however, will insert rows with different values into this structure. In other words, these are the same tables, but populated differently. The '226 patent provides editing facilities for a human to adjust or change some of the work done by the automated program in populating the data dictionary tables. Each change by a human from one of the forms in Figure 9E through 9AI will result in updating a value in a data dictionary table or possibly adding or deleting a row.
Once the data dictionary is established, the information from the data dictionary is read and used to build a SQL schema or data model for the application itself. The data dictionary was metadata ("data about data"). Before an application can function, however, there must be tables that can store data items themselves. A "third program" that can accomplish this task is referred to in Col. 2:44-45. The "third program" receives an additional three lines of description in Col. 5:22-24.
Once the data dictionary is updated, the SQL schema for the
application database is changed (6:31) and "the application's web
pages are regenerated" (6:30). The "web pages" referred to here are
computer programs that have the ability to send queries to the
application database and that ultimately generate the HTML that is
rendered by the end-user's browser. Thus a layer of
dynamism is added compared to the conventional Web-based database
application. The conventional application includes computer programs
that run in response to page requests, thus making it possible for
end-users to receive a Web page with up-to-date information just
inserted into the database. If the database structure is changed, a
human programmer must be hired to update the conventional application
page scripts. By contrast, the computer programs built and maintained
by the system of the '226 Patent are themselves dynamic and will be
changed automatically when necessary.
If the programs referred to in the '226 Patent worked, they would
substantially automate nearly every step of the software development
process for a database application. Given a stream of data items,
these programs would infer the structure and organization of the data
and design the SQL schema or data model for an application built
around the data. The programs would fill the newly created application
tables with existing data and generate the computer programs ("page
scripts" or "application pages") necessary for users to work with the
completed database from their Web browsers. Finally, the programs
would keep the complete application up to date as user requirements
X. Summary
Database applications have been among the most useful and important
applications of computer systems since the late 1950s. A Web interface
to a database application enables use by people scattered around the
globe, connecting from desktops, laptops, and smartphones without the
need to install additional software. Developing database applications,
with and without Web interfaces, has been the life's work of hundreds
of thousands of programmers worldwide and has required the skills of
understanding business requirements, predicting user behavior, and
creative software design.

Challenger Class

Cheyenne Class
Ingame as a Tier 3 Heavy Cruiser variant
Freedom Class
(Based on Ambassador/Galaxy Class)
New Orleans Class
(Based on Galaxy/Nebula Class)
Niagara Class
(Based on Ambassador/Galaxy Class)
Springfield Class
(Based on Cheyenne/Galaxy Class)
Most of these ships were heavily influenced by
Galaxy Class
components, so in theory wouldn't be too difficult to replicate. It would also be pretty nice to see additional "Galaxy"-style ships, fill other roles rather than just Cruisers. The
New Orleans Class
with it's extra torpedo pods could easily serve as a Destroyer/Escort. While the
Springfield Class
could potentially serve as a Science Vessel.
Now, I wouldn't argue that these ships -must- be "low tiered" despite canon. But I think it may be a good inspiration if Cryptic were to make new ship classes (at any tier), and base them on these designs.
So whenever someone says that "Cryptic are running out of canon designs", I just point towards the ships that appeared during the Wolf 359 battle as a shining example, of additional ships that could potentially be added. If nothing else, I would love to see them added as skin variants to existing ships, and not necessarily added as an entirely new ship and unique consoles.
