Harmonium is a very nice smooth, mellow band; mainly acoustic guitars, beautiful playing and fantastic vocals.if you understand the language, the lyrics are excellent too.Best is their self title album - you guessed it - Harmoniumthey are from Quebec, and were around in the 70s.For the Quebec version of Frank Zappa, try Plume Latraverse. absolutely hilarious.he's got dozens of albums. I think my favorite would be the triple set "Le lour' passe de PLume Latraverse' and best song ... hmmm... maybe 'lit vert'i believe both these artists are well known in France as well.- arp

wasn't the title "SHAUN OF THE DEAD"???anyway, just watched it twice (first times) this week. hilarious.does anyone have a bio of this movie?is it on IMDB or other such site?i lucked out, they had it at a hostel I was staying at - otherwise I had never heard of this movie...- arp

Definitely GetRitei've tried sun java download manager - it's real crap. very slow.i've tried a few other shareware/freeware from tucows, but getritedefinitely stands out as the best.- arp

I have not tried firefox, and last tiem i tried mozilla was maybe 9 years ago...hoo boy how the time flies... especially when ur waiting for IEproblem is, as I travel lots, most of my surfing is done on webcafe machines - i.e. on IE.i have opera on my PC and it is already a massive imporvement over IE. I will get firefox/mozilla asap and give it a whirl.thanks for the tips- arp

Hi;probably the easiest way would be to add a wrapper function that you call from the body tag.this wrapper function will then alternate between calling the two status bar functions:function statusFunctions(){ for(var x=0; x<10; x++){ flash(); } setMessage(); setTimeout("statusFunctions();",speed);}you will need however to fiddle with the flash function as it relies on recursion to do the actual flashing, and by doing as I mention above, you break this recursion...good luck- arp

Hi alli'll cast my vote for ad-aware.really easy to use, quick and free (well, at least the version I have).it has a nice interface and seems to be updated regularly and often.regards,- arp

Hi;Any more parameters for this assignment? number of statements, functions etc..it sounds hard, but just take a deep breath...start with the actual syntax:identifiers, functions, operators, separators, etc...decide what legal and illegal syntax isthen write your pattern-matching code to look for these thingsnow that you can identify the parts of your language, all you need to do is translate it to C and compile and voila, u r done.start with a simple arithmetic language, i.e. make sure the operators are infix (or postfix or prefix or whatever u like). make sure the operands are valid (i.e. numeric)now expand it by adding variables. make sure variables are declared before being used.i think u see where I am going now...good luck!- arp

CGI is a much older and much less efficient standard. the main problem with CGI is that each request fires a new process for the CGI script regardless of the language.On the otherhand, newer technologies like ASP and JSP/Servlet and PHP execute requests as threads within the Web Server process - much more secure (re. system crashes), scaleable and efficient. CGI is also pretty bare-bones and you got to be good at pattern-matching coding and lower-level coding, although I am sure you can find heaps of useful CGI scripts and code snippets to use.ASP/Java/PHP all give you lots of built in features for example to handle POST data.Now I am not exactly a big fan of ASP, I much prefer PHP or Java; but i would still choose ASP over CGI. And I am not sure about what improvements .NET has added aside from what microsoft ripped off from Java (i.e. auto garbage collection).best regards,- arp

Hi;My two cents re. JSP:Remember now, JSP is actually servlets... in the end everything you write in your JSP file will get compiled and executed as a servlet.So you need to think about what your code wants to do, and then maybe consider coding your own servlet.roughly, I would say that JSP is good if you have a text-intensive app, outputting alot of different stuff with necessary decisions etc..if on the other hand you are doing alot of "hidden" logic, then maybe you will have an easier/better time of it with servlets.best regards,- arp

Hi;I strongly suggest you try to be a bit more specific in your question - i.e. which version are you using?what needs to be aligned? Text in a cell?You may want to look at DefaultTableCellRenderer in the javaDoc.if you can be more specific, then it will be easier to give you the answer you need.best regards,- arp

For simple editing I prefer Ultraedit. I have also tried textpad and that was also pretty good.For GUI stuff and more involved apps I like netbeans - the price is right (i.e. FREE) and it works pretty well.If anyone however can recommend a good GRIDBAG editor (or even better: plugin for netbeans) PLEASE let me know.regards,- arp

Hi; to show just how easy this is, here is probably the simplest/shortest servlet you can write: import java.io.*; import javax.servlet.*; import javax.servlet.http.*; public class HelloWorld extends HttpServlet{ public void doGet(HttpServletRequest req, HttpServletResponse res) throws ServletException, IOException{ res.setContentType("text/html"); PrintWriter out = res.getWriter(); out.println("Hello World"); } } I suggest if/when you get the time to go through sun's course: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index.html there's obvioulsy so much more you can do with servlets, so you need to be more precise asto what you need to know/achieve. It may even be the case that you should be looking at JSP instead of servlets... hope this helps - arp
