a simple jvm launcher
ever wanted to have more memory available with jvm, but didn't want to write platform dependent shell script or .bat files? here is a sampler, it spawns a new vm with more memory from the class file, which can be packed as a jar (you need jdk 1.5 for this code):
import javax.swing.*;
public class Hello {
public static void main(String [] args) {
if (args.length == 0) {
try {
System.out.println("I now have : " + Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());
Process p = new ProcessBuilder("java", "-Xmx256m", "Hello", "memory").start();
} catch(Exception e) {
e.printStackTrace();
}
} else {
JFrame f = new JFrame("Hi! I have more memory!: " + Runtime.getRuntime().maxMemory());
f.setVisible(true);
} // end if
}
}

break: A Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernels at OpenSolaris.org
A Comparison of Solaris, Linux, and FreeBSD Kernels at OpenSolaris.org: " and debugging tools are critical to get a correct understanding of system behavior. Yes, you can read the source code, but I maintain that you can easily misread the code. Having tools available to test your hypothesis about how the code works is invaluable. In this respect, I see Solaris with kmdb, mdb, and DTrace as a clear winner. I have been 'reverse engineering' Solaris for years. I find that I can usually answer a question by using the tools faster than I can answer the same question by reading source code. With Linux, I don't have as much choice for this. FreeBSD allows use of gdb on kernel crash dumps. gdb can set breakpoints, single step, and examine and modify data and "
a wonderful flower in uohyd garden
university of hyderabad is a wonderful place, the only problem is the heat and humidity. i took this fotu of elephant grass near CMSD. partially spoilt my addon closeup lens while trying to avoid the sun :( 


charminar at night .. not a v.good fotu, requires tripod for night photography. but in true sence, i didn't find the lighting at charminar to be very attractive. 


the charminar that i saw in history books was much better view! this is the present state of charminar, largely unmanaged, and maintained. sadly the walls are inscribed with funny names and stuff. 


one of the first places that i visited in hyderabad... hussain sagar lake. in background is one of the world's tallest buddha statue. was a really humid day, and was swetting heavely. the place offers a boat ride, but was too expensive for me ;)
