I raised this question up because I have seen Windows 7 64 bits able to run several 32 bits program without any problem; of course, some run with problems and some refuse to run at all. I am not sure why some 32 bits program can run just fine on 64 bits, but for us, in the future, say, if we have a 128 bit architecture and OS released ...
Can anyone suggest a good documentation/tutorial/book about Future in Java? ...
With reference to the java.util.concurrent package and the Future interface I notice (unless I am mistaken) that the ability to start a lengthy tasks and be able to query on the progress only comes with the SwingWorker implementing class. This begs the following question: Is there a way, in a non-GUI, non-Swing application (imaging a c...
Or in other words, how do you develop your application so you can easily pick up the next big thing? Do you dive deep into the current technology, like Java, C#/.Net, ... and ignore the future? Or are you using slightly older but proven technologies like C++ and already struggling on how to move to newer technologies? Or have you foun...
Hi SO. I'm somehow familiar with the ASP.NET MVC and the .NET framework in general (I use it at work). I've been thinking about starting a personal project (a website). I, however, don't want to be tied to a specific platform (it bothers me A LOT). This led me to looking into Mono. For what I've seen, though, Mono trails behind Micros...
In the docs, a FutureWrapper is defined like this: FutureWrapper is a simple Future that wraps a parent Future. What's a Future, why would you need to wrap it and when would you use it in App Engine? ...
I find ActionScript 3 one of the best high level dynamic languages out there, but because it only runs in Flash/Flex/AIR (to my knowledge) its uses are fairly limited. Are there alternative and/or generic runtimes available which would allow running it on a server, or on the desktop without the Flash API? I suppose not, but is there a c...
I started using LINQ (Language Integrated Query) when it was still in beta, more specifically Microsoft .NET LINQ Preview (May 2006). Almost 4 years have passed and here we are using LINQ in a lot of projects for the most diverse tasks. I even wrote my final college project based on LINQ. You see how I like it. LINQ and more recently P...

Hi I'm passing a unixtimestamp to a javascript IF statement, can anyone tell me how to generate a unixtimestamp one minute in the future with javascript. Anyhelp would be helpful. Thanks ...
I'm wondering where other .Net developers see their future? I'm currently pretty comfortable with .Net after 8 years of development and now seem to spend more time learning the additional frameworks than the core language features. Is it likely that .Net will keep expanding with new frameworks as the need arises or do people feel tha...
I'm trying to optimize an (infinite) computation algorithm. I have an infinte Sum to calculate ( Summ_{n-> infinity} (....) ) My idea was to create several threads using the Future < > construct, then combine the intermediate results together. My problem hoewer is that I need a certain precision. So I need to constantly calculate the ...
I think this is a common scenario for multithreaded Java applications so I'll try to describe it here. In my Java App I've a threadExecutor object that defines a Pool of 5 Threads. ExecutorService threadExecutor = Executors.newFixedThreadPool(5); A sendCallables method is responsible to assign a List of Jobs to the Executor. I keep t...
Just a thought. Wouldn't it be useful to have optional type parameters in C#? This would make life simpler. I'm tired of having multiple classes with the same name, but different type parameters. Also VS doesn't support this very vell (file names) :-) This would for example eliminate the need for a non-generic IEnumerable: interface ...
I have the following Java code: final Future future = exeService.submit( new Runnable() { public void run() { myObject.doSomething(); } } ); future.get(); where exeService is an instance of java.util.concurrent.ExecutorService The problem is that myObject.doSomething() never returns, and, hence...
I see a lot of talk how HTML5 video tag will kill Flash. But while video is the most widely used part of Flash/SL, it's only a small part of their technical abilities. For instance you can write a game using full 3D graphics and socket connections in Flex, and serious business applications, etc. Is the thinking that Javascript will kill...
I just completed two WinForm applications as part of an intensive course. Just wondering about the technology overall... should I move onto something new, or is WinForms still viable for the future? ...
What contemporary software innovations, patterns, methodologies or practices are eligible to be considered ahead of their time? ...
For the sake of argument, let's say I'm implementing Future for a task which is not cancelable. The Java 6 API doc says: After [cancel()] returns, subsequent calls to isDone() will always return true. [cancel()] returns false if the task could not be cancelled, typically because it has already completed normally It also says:...
Hi Guys, Just rounding up what features should be made available for the next release of ASP.net MVC 3. There is no news on the next version. But I really want opinion for people using ASP.net MVC to make feature judgments. As for starters I would like following features to be included Support of Visual Designers. Currently HTMl helper...
