Contemporary mobile telephony is an offset of the more general development of radio communication that started in the late 1800’s. Marconi became central in the development of radio-based communications. Through the 1890’s, he sent radio signals over progressively longer distance, ranging from several hundred meters to several kilometers and eventually to transoceanic communications. 

Someone said, Flash Player 9 doesn't run on 64 bit Linux, but sure it does... and you can install it, just follow the simple steps below. If you can't view or open Flash charts or are not able to play Flash in your browser, follow the simple steps to install it on 64 bit Linux machines.

Lighttpd is a secure, fast, standards-compliant web server designed for speed-critical environments. This tutorial shows how you can install Lighttpd on a Fedora 9 server with PHP5 support (through FastCGI) and MySQL support. I do not issue any guarantee that this will work for you!

Are you tired of issues with Runtime.getRuntime().exec()? I was! So I decided to create a small library to handle all the issues. Once and for all. Main featuresIt's easy to redirect stdin, stderr and stdout to appropriate Java Input and Output streams, so you can now embed operating-system processes inside your applications. It's very easy to cancel a running process, by using the Future<Integer> interface. Automatically handles pipipng process streams into Java streams (and viceversa). Runs well in Linux and Windows. Probably runs well in Solaris and MacOSX too (haven't tried yet though) You can specify a working directory for the running process. Very small library (just one final class and two interfaces). Sources and binaries are available in my attic, of course.

C is not an easy language to parse. A cursory glance at its BNF grammar should convince anyone immediately. One of the hairiest parts of the grammar is type declarations. The creators of C, Brian Kernighan and Dennis Ritchie, admit it themselves in the beginning of section 5.12 of K&R2 (“The C programming language 2nd Ed”):

The goal of this article is to examine whether it’s worth for me to switch to Ruby as my main programming language, a position currently taken by Perl. As the title states, it is subjective – in that it presents my personal opinions and targets my specific needs.
