Hi there,
I've tried the gadget, works well in Google Wave.
Thanks,

Just a pointer, I have an Android backup and restore DB example (taking this one step further) here:

I've been hearing a lot about iPad, and it seems it has captured a lot of attention lately. It's like a lot of people were excited to have one! And you're definitely right, it will only give you 70% of what you want. People tend to get excited whenever there's a new thing out in the market, without even realizing what they can really get from it or if that would really satisfy them or even fulfill their expectations. The reality is a lot of people are always looking forward to get new things and be updated.

hey!! EntityManager named default: ==> default you must replace DEFAULT with your EntityManagerFactory's name!!!!!!! the XML's name created by jpa !! persistence.xml==> there u have a name, u must use it. Persistence Unit Name

it's a lot harder to browse now that you have them inside some sort of annoying scrolling internal frame instead of using the scrolling built into the browser, which works better for everything including find

"natural selection" can be

certainly intelligence involved

Diet Coke has been a "faithful friend" that got me through college exams and stressful work schedules over the past 15 years. At times, I was drinking 5 - 7 diet sodas daily. Three years ago I gave up DC for 1 year when I decided to get fit and be healthier. I started working with a nutritionist and fitness trainer (who's also a former Mr. America). I learned to eat "clean" -meaning avoiding processed foods, white flour, sugar. At first, I thought my trainer was nuts to suggest I quit Diet Coke. But I missed the bigger impact it was having on my health. When I finally cut it out, yes, I started to lose weight and feel great. But more importantly, my appetite was under control, cravings in check, great energy, fewer body pains. I thought it was just due to the weight loss...until I started drinking Diet Coke again and noticed the return of the headaches, cravings, appetite, brain fog and bloating. I also noticed it seemed linked to mild depression that had gone away and returned. I was not even aware of it until I quit and started drinking it again.

My OB/GYN is also an endocrinologist and she indicates I'm allergic to artificial sweetners. I've noticed Splenda and Aspartame make me very sick. She confirms what others say about the inflammation and insulin response and cravings related to artificial sweetners.

I'd say this isn't just limited to Diet Coke or artificial sweetners. A majority of boxed and pre-pared foods have so many artificial additives. I'm just rejecting all this processed Franken-food junk. Coupled with our stressful lifestyles it must all take a toll.

I agree with other posts that moderation is a piece of this. Moderation just hasn't worked for me because with Diet Coke or anything with artificial sweetners. I've even noticed that if I eat something with a lot of sugar in it, I'll have a reaction that feels similar to being drunk. Yes, I'll consume these items, but I am aware of any consequences, usually headache. I typically on use stevia as a sweetner as a result, or sugar in small quantity.

The biggest things I've learned in this experience are that eating clean, getting enough sleep, moderate exercise are the 3 keys to maintaing healthy weight. Diet Coke once in awhile, just like other indulgences, is fine. Everyone is different so some may tolerate more. This is just my experience, for what it is worth. Hope it helps someone else.

But my argument is the iPad will win, right up until people want something else.

Here is where the iPad fails: it isn't disposable. The Kindle and the other eInk "reader" devices aren't there yet, but they are on a trajectory to reach "disposable" tech -- like calculators. In another year or so they will be $70, then $30, then throwaway. The iPad wants to be a general computer, but isn't.

People will buy it, use it, then realize they want a "Tablet Computer" and buy something better. Maybe Apple will make that, maybe they will buy an Android device. Either way, once something else does NetFlix, Hulu or Amazon video, and reads books from every store, the game is over.

Amazon doesn't care about Razors, they sell Blades. They ship Android "Kindle" that runs on the Nook, and they don't care. They just want to sell the books to iPhone, iPad, (a throw away priced) Kindle, the Nook, whatever.

There is no distinction between "Intelligent Design(c)" and intelligent design. Trying to make one is pretty ridiculous. The DI came up with the term, and with all the arguments for it, and everything behind it.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intelligent_design

Every actual scientific review has deemed it pseudoscience. You can believe in cryptozoology, esp, ghosts, id (and other creation myths), and whatever other made up stuff you *want* to believe in, for your own reasons, but that doesn't make any of it science.

Intelligent design, evidence, nope.

Sorry, but there is absolutely ZERO actual scientific evidence that ID "exists" or has any basis in any fact whatsoever. Despite what Behe and Dembski have said and published from the Discovery Institute (creationism advocacy group) pulpit. None of that is accepted peer reviewed valid science, none. No matter how much anyone wishes it were, it's not, science isn't about personal biases and wishes.

The scientific community would welcome any actual contribution to the debate about how species evolve, or biology in general, but the ID movement is not interested in that. Instead they are interested in a mythical imaginary friend that "created" species, they offer no evidence as to who said creator is, they offer no counter evidence to the mountain of science backing up all of biology - evolution and natural selection, and instead their stated goal is to get creationism back into schools (DI memos and internal documents prove that in court cases).

(And EVERY scientific theory "needs serious revision" that is the point of science -- though I would argue natural selection is one of the most solid theories we have ever had, concerning anything in terms if evidence and empirical tests backing it up. But that is a SEPARATE debate.)

Finally someone with a brain. Well written and very true.
