jqGrid doesn't have very good documentation. You have to get everything from the demos, but the actual demo files are hidden in ajax code. This file is the data file used to build the demo navigation menu on the left. It has the name of the individual demo .html files along with the visible text. There is a corresponding .js file for each demo. All the files are in the http://trirand.com/blog/jqgrid/ directory.

Pulling your hair out because of errors like so: "ERROR 1248 (42000): Every derived table must have its own alias" ?
If you have several complicated unioned queries that you want to use in a sub query try encapsulating them like so:
SELECT col1,col2,col3 FROM
(
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT col1,col2,col3 FROM myTable WHERE ... etc.
) AS DerivedTable1
UNION
SELECT * FROM
(
SELECT col1,col2,col3 FROM myTable WHERE ... etc.
) AS DerivedTable2
) AS MainTable GROUP BY... HAVING... ORDER BY... LIMIT... etc.
This method of aliasing will add years to your life by providing the unique distinction required of derived tables in sub queries without having to spend a bunch of time trying to alias every table and field while continuing to get "derived table" errors. Thanks goes to David Fells for helping me keep some of my hair over this one!
Have fun.

Most entertainment is the celebration of disposable knowledge. In fact, when we are relaxing we avoid useful information. This is why some people do not like my Facebook posts and Twitter updates. They are on these technologies to relax and I am confronting them with potential useful information. (Sorry, but I do not plan to stop. Just unfriend or unfollow me, I am really OK with it.) Let me quote from the book, "Soap operas are enjoyable because their intellectual maintenance costs are low."
All advertising is information you do not want to see. "Advertising is Fun's evil twin brother. The two go everywhere together." If you want to enjoy yourself from free you have to accept advertising.
...in their use of the commons, the Itza' break free of the textbook ‘resource exploitation' frame by means of one of the fundamental orientations of human cognition: the tendency to believe in supernatural entities. (See Atran's 2002 book In Gods we Trust.) Atran and Medin show that the Itza' do not treat forest resources as mere ‘objects of a payoff matrix' (as perhaps some of their neighbours do), but rather ‘as intentional, relational entities, like friends or enemies'. For the Itza', the spirits of the forest have supernatural powers of knowledge. Villagers believe that if they fail to respect the kind of reciprocal relationship with these spirits that would be expected of any human social relationship, they risk being punished. These beliefs are reflected in behaviour patterns that turn out to be the most sustainable of these three neighbouring ethnic groups.

DITA also recognized ... that a small topic-specific DTD is easier to use and to validate than a big generic document-oriented DTD like DocBook. But the problem ... is, how do you manage the relationship between the DTDs, and how do you add a new DTD without having to rewrite your whole tool chain?
... First, it uses a simple mapping mechanism to create a new DTD as a "specialization" of an existing DTD. Second, it uses a trick based on the way XSLT works to enable a transform written for the base DTD to also work for the specialized DTD, and to allow you to write a transform for the specific properties of the new DTD that inherits transforms written for the old DTD without change.
DITA thus limits you in two ways. First, the relationship between new DTDs and existing DTDs can only be expressed by a very simple mapping mechanism. ... Also, existing XSLT transforms cannot be incorporated into the DITA tool chain; they have to be specifically written for DITA.

For the time being, structured authoring managed the XML way is still implemented mainly by very large organizations: such an approach has “trickled down” from organizations the size of IBM to organizations the size of Adobe (which does, in fact, use DITA now), but there are not tool chains yet available that will bring it down much further. The failure of the W3C XML Schema Working Group to provide a functional specification supporting document-centric XML can hardly be underestimated.
As long as content is not easily authored in a semantically rich, structured fashion, the vision of the semantic web will remain an illusion. When and if document-centric XML gets more attention from standards bodies and software vendors, human communications will become far more efficient and effective.
According to that discussion, the player is based on the STB225 set-top box platform designed by NXP. At the center is a chip called the Nexperia Multi Format Source decoder PNX8935, which combines a 32-bit MIPS processor and a dedicated video decoder supporting multiple codecs, including H.264. The reference STB225 boards have SATA and USB capabilities. The Wi-Fi daughtercard in the Roku box uses up the USB header, but there are several other headers that have yet to be identified. Roku engineers say that the box uses HDCP on the HDMI connection, which might limit its hackability.
On the software side, Roku has released the source code to all of the free software used inside the box, including the Linux environment and bootloader.
The first thing I did was create a "gvoice.py" module with several helpful classes. These allow you to:I am by no means a seasoned Python developer, but what I have created works well for my purposes. I tried to make the classes as loosely coupled with the UI as possible in case I want to put a GUI around it sometime, but for now I am doing everything at the command line (which I often prefer).

I decided to re-engineer it from the ground up. JPolite V2 is then a complete re-design from the ground up with nothing from V1 except for the look & feel. The code structure is much clearer which makes it easier for customization, as well as integration with other jQuery plugins.
A new feature that is now being tested with JPolite is called XDO (XML Data Object), which currently supports JSON objects only. The whole idea is based on some discussion around “Thin Server Architecture” and REST architecture style, that a browser client first construct the foundation of a web app with STATIC content (HTML, CSS and JavaScript) from a web server, and then exchange only DATA (XML, JSON, TXT) with the application server, which relieves the server from the burden of generating HTML markup. This feature is still experimental with lots enhancements expected.
from In the Beginning was the Command Line available at:...possible to glean certain patterns, and one that recurred as regularly as an urban legend was the one about how someone would move into a commune populated by sandal-wearing, peace-sign flashing flower children, and eventually discover that, underneath this facade, the guys who ran it were actually control freaks; and that, as living in a commune, where much lip service was paid to ideals of peace, love and harmony, had deprived them of normal, socially approved outlets for their control-freakdom, it tended to come out in other, invariably more sinister, ways.
Applying this to the case of Apple Computer will be left as an exercise for the reader, and not a very difficult exercise.

Free Serial Port Monitor allows you to intercept, display and analyze all data exchanged between the Windows application and the serial device. It can be successfully used in application development, device driver or serial hardware development and offers the powerful platform for effective coding, testing and optimization.
Mitokine Bioscience was founded in Down East Maine in 2006 to develop a critical new treatment for diabetes. This year - 2009 - Mitokine’s treatment will be tested at Purdue University School of Veterinary Medicine in companion dogs that are insulin dependent, a natural diabetes model. A larger canine study to meet requirements for FDA approval for a veterinary pharmaceutical product will follow. In the mean time, research at Mitokine continues to develop a similar treatment for human diabetes.
SD (software-defined) radio receivers use a bare minimum of hardware, relying instead on their software capabilities. This SDR project demonstrates what’s achievable, in this case a multi-purpose receiver covering all bands from 150 kHz to 30 MHz. It’s been optimised for receiving DRM and AM broadcasts but is also suitable for listening in to the world of amateur transmissions.
