09 Feb '09

Hey, someone else having trouble running Java-programs on midas right now? Did IT change anything (Java version, whatever) over the weekend? I wanted to run the exact same program I ran on Friday (just with a different file as input) , and i constantly get this: # # An unexpected error has been detected by Java Runtime Environment: # # Internal Error (exceptions.cpp:367), pid=4792, tid=4160019344 # Error: ExceptionMark destructor expects no pending exceptions # # Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (11.0-b11 mixed mode linux-x86) # An error report file with more information is saved as: # /tmp/hs_err_pid4792.log # # If you would like to submit a bug report, please visit: # http://java.sun.com/webapps/bugreport/crash.jsp # and those error logs are also not really helpful :-( -- ================================================================== Michiel Van Bel PhD student Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM mibel(a)psb.vib-ugent.be http://www.psb.vib-ugent.be ==================================================================

[Binari] google is starting to spook me
by Sofie Van Landeghem 05 Feb '09

05 Feb '09

Even though issues of privacy etc have been raised years before this email, only recently Google has started to scare me. One of their latest : http://gmailblog.blogspot.com/2009/02/see-where-your-friends-are-with-googl… What is worrying me, is when this sort of application is installed without the user knowing. The "webhistory" thing is a nice example : when logged in on gmail in your browser, it remembers all the google searches you do, and stores them on your gmail account. This means that when Stephen is still logged in on my pc (which happens a lot), he can see my browsing history *live* and I can see his, when both being at a different place. Does that not freak you out? This actually happened last week, and when I told him about it, he had no idea the Webhistory thing was doing that... Should we be really afraid? ;-) Sofie

[Binari] Thinkpad X31
by kenny.billiau＠ugent.be 04 Feb '09

04 Feb '09

Hi, I'm still have a (or even two) thinkpad X31's. They have the same specs as the Thinkpad X40, without: - docking station: so no DVD-ROM/CD-rw with: - bluetooth - firewire - AZERTY keyboard - Intel Centrino CPU @ 1.5G One is a bit damaged at the upperright corner of the screen (dented) and has a crack in the lower right corner of the laptop itself. But it still works like a charm. Other then that there are no scratches, dents or usage marks. Price: - undamaged: 230e (+7e shipping) - damaged : 210e (+7e shipping) If at any time, anyone needs one, or wants a small thinkpad, now really is the time to buy/sell them. (and I like to hunt on ebay ;)) Kenny. ps: the other specs are: 512 Mb ram 40 GB HD @ 4200rpm 12" TFT ATI Radeon Mobility 16MB stereo-speakers 2 x USB Ethernet 10/100/1000 Wifi 802.11abg SD-cardreader 56K modem touchpoint (no touchpad, indeed, it's a nippled laptop) PCMCIA slot Windows XP Professional license 273 x 223 x 30.2mm (WxDxH) weight of 1.6kg Batterylife: 4.5-5h -- ================================================================== Kenny Billiau Web Developer Tel:+32 (0)9 331 36 95 fax:+32 (0)9 3313809 VIB Department of Plant Systems Biology, Ghent University Technologiepark 927, 9052 Gent, BELGIUM kenny.billiau(a)ugent.be http://bioinformatics.psb.ugent.be ================================================================== "The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men." -Plato
