Hi Nick,
Cheers for the useful post – I wasn’t aware of that so will definitely be using that in the future!

Comment on Syntax error, parameterized types are only available if source level is 1.5 by Nick

It seems installing Eclipse was a really bad idea. I’ve been getting more cryptic messages from the Java compiler, so I tried javac -v and low and behold it’s a special Eclipse flavour of the compiler. Running this seemed to help:

sudo update-java-alternatives -s java-6-sun

Now I have the Sun compiler back, but I am wondering how many other skeletons Eclipse has left in the wardrobe.

@leo Thanks for that - it's a much cleaner solution!

Comment on Ubuntu 9.10 Karmic Koala: Temperature above threshold, cpu clock throttled by leo

hi,i get a new solution from https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/rsyslog/+bug/453444, you can try it:

I wrote a file /etc/rsyslog.d/10-temperature.conf with the following content:

:msg,contains,”Temperature/speed normal” ~
:msg,contains,”Temperature above threshold” ~

All messages containing “Temperature/speed normal” and “Temperature above threshold” are discarded.
I restarted rsyslog and it looks like the problem is solved.

I hope this will help until the problem will be fixed in the kernel.

If you move the instantiation of the StyleSheet object outside the function then it will be in the global namespace. This will allow you to consecutively call the function with different tags, updating the same StyleSheet object and therefore not overriding the previous style each time you call the function.

Something like:

var sheet = new StyleSheet();

function create_sheet(whichtag) {

// Create a CSS element to set colour to red
var elementBasic = new StyleSheetElement(“color”, “#000000″);

// Attach the CSS element to the CSS description for “a”
var tagA = sheet.addElementToTag(whichtag, elementBasic);

// Rest of your code carries on….

}

hi – I am passing a parameter to fn which is fine
$(create_sheet(“li”));

I would like to add $(create_sheet(“a”));
so both apply – is this possible?

code below….

function create_sheet(whichtag) {
var sheet = new StyleSheet();

// Create a CSS element to set colour to red
var elementBasic = new StyleSheetElement(“color”, “#000000″);

// Attach the CSS element to the CSS description for “a”
var tagA = sheet.addElementToTag(whichtag, elementBasic);

// Set the order of the tag for “a” whichtag
tagA.order = 2;

// Create a CSS element to set colour to red
var elementHover = new StyleSheetElement(“color”, “#ff0000″);

// Attach the CSS element to the CSS description for “a:hover”

var tagHover = sheet.addElementToTag(whichtag + “:hover”, elementHover);

// Set the order of the tag for “a:hover”, will appear beore “a”
tagHover.order = 1;

// Create a stylesheet for the new elements and add it to the page (replaces it if one already exists)
addInlineStyleSheet(sheet);
}

Comment on Transparent aggregation in PHP5 by tully

there are 2 main differences betwen ruby mixin and your implementation;
1. it’s nescessary to extend Aggregatable class
2. $this in agregated classes references to this classes, not the CasualWorker

so its’s not same as acts_as mixins where included modules (methods) became “real” part of class in which you using it.

@perspectoff
You’re quite right, sorry, I forgot to mention that. You should be able to tell if it worked because once you restart the daemon you should see in the kern.log file this:

kernel: Kernel logging (proc) stopped.

I’ll give turning off frequency scaling a try – thanks for that!
