How to exploit the fact that only the first 10 pages of a search result are really necessary, to do a distributed map-reduce that doesn't bottleneck on the difficult-to-parallelise 'reduce'.
If you've got a Java application hosted within Tomcat, and you want to plug it into an existing IIS site, here's how. Oh and before we start, this is for IIS 6, and Tomcat 6.
Microsoft has deprecated System.Data.OracleClient, so here's a simple example of using the new ODP.NET Oracle.DataAccess.Client, with the following benefits:
* Simple Xcopy deployment
