would work - but instead I get an exception:

I'm using Pylons (a python framework) to serve a simple web application, but it seems to die from time to time, with this in the error log: (2006, 'MySQL server has gone away')
I did a bit of checking, and saw that this was because the connections to MySQL were not being renewed. This shouldn't be a problem though, because the sqlalchemy.pool_recycle in the config file should automatically keep it alive. The default was 3600, but I dialed it back to 1800 because of this problem. It helped a bit, but 3600 *should* be fine according to the docs. The errors still happen semi-regularly. I don't want to lower it too much though and DOS my own database :).
Maybe something in my MySQL config is goofy? Not sure where to look exactly.
Other relevant details:

The main problem is that all the tools I've been trying like [EMS Data Import][1] and [Firebird Data Wizard][2] expect that my csv file contains all the information needed by my Table.
I need to write some custom SQL in the insert statement, for example, I have a cvs file with the city name, but as my database already has all the cities in another table (normalized), I need to write a subselect in the insert statement to lookup for the city and write its ID, also I have a stored procedure to cread GUIDS.
My Insert statement would be something like this:
INSERT INTO PERSON (ID, NAME, CITY_ID) VALUES((SELECT NEW_GUID FROM CREATE_GUID), :NAME, (SELECT CITY_ID FROM CITY WHERE NAME = :CITY_NAME)
I know that it is very easy to write an application to do this, but I don't like to reinvent the wheel, and I'm sure that there are some tools out there to do it.
Can you guys give me some advice?

Previously we were running this entire test suite on one machine, which took about 24-72 hours to complete the entire test run. We now have created our own system for grouping and distributing the tests among about three separate machines and the tests are prioritized so that the core tests get run first for more immediate results and the extra tests run when there is an available machine.
I am curious if anyone has found a good way to distribute their tests among several machines to reduce total test time for a complete run and what tools were used to achieve that. I've done some research and it looks like TestNG is [moving in this direction][1], but it looks like it is still under quite a bit of development.
We don't plan on rewriting any of our tests, but as we add new tests and test new products or add-ons I'd like to be able to deal with the fact that we are working with very large numbers of tests. On the other hand, if we can find a tool that would help distribute our Junit 3.x tests even in a very basic fashion, that *would* be helpful since we wouldn't have to maintain our own tooling to do that.

You want to check for a certain object in the collection, but the collection doesn't have a Contains() method. There are several ways of dealing with this.
- Implement your own Contains() method by looping through all items in the collection to see if one of them is what you are looking for. This seems to be the "best practice" approach.
- I recently came across some code where instead of a loop, there was an attempt to access the object inside a try statement, as follows:
> try
> {
> Object aObject = myCollection[myObject];

> catch(Exception e)

I'm trying to bridge backups generated by [webmin][1] with the upload tool available inside [mysql administrator][2]. My data already has a couple of inconsistencies (ticks, commas, etc, I think) I just wont try to kink out (they might just reappear in the future anyways). These kinks generate errors when I try to restore out of my backups.
Now, if I generate backups from webmin, and then use MySQL administrator to restore them, they fail. But if I generate the backups using MySQL Administrator AND tick "Compatibility Mode", then head over to MySQL administrator (another instance) and restore... it works!
According to MySQL, "Compatibility Mode" is;
> Compatibility mode creates backup files that are compatible with older versions of MySQL Administrator.
Webmin, on the other hand, gives me the following options for compatibility:
- ANSI
- MySQL 3.2.3
- MySQL 4.0
- PostgreSQL
- Oracle
- Microsoft SQL
- DB2
- MaxDB
Which would you say is a best fit? My data set is very large, so it would take quite some time to experiment one by one (specially whence thinking might beat brute-forcing it).

When running under the debugger, there's only one problem. If I pause the program and resume, everything's fine.
The problem? When I hit a breakpoint, my program stops. But not in a good way; execution halts, I'm thrown out of debug mode into edit mode. All's fine until a breakpoint is hit. And I know it's hitting the breakpoint - I see a flash of the little yellow arrow pointing at the right line of code, local variables in the inspect window and the call stack in that window. And then I'm staring at the editor.

"Shelve" would remove the current shelve-set, and upload the working directory under a suitable path defined by user options. "Unshelve" would merge the set with the working copy.

Ideally, what I would like is to be able to add _typed_ properties, so that the "value" returned is always of the type that I want it to be.
The type should always be a primitive. This class subclasses an abstract class which basically stores the name and value as string. The idea being that this subclass will add some type-safety to the base class (as well as saving me on some conversion).

public class Property<DataType> : Property
{
public DataType TypedValue
{
get { // Having problems here! }
set { base.Value = value.ToString();}

One of the issues I'm running into is getting the timer to "tick" accurately enough.
For example, assuming an easy BPM (beats per minute) of 120, the timer should tick every .5 seconds (or 500 milliseconds). Using this as the basis for the ticks, however, isn't entirely accurate as .NET only guarantees that your timer will not tick before the elapsed time has passed.
Currently, to get around this for the same 120 BPM example used above, I am setting the ticks to something like 100 milliseconds and only playing the click sound on every 5th timer tick. This does improve the accuracy quite a bit, but if feels like a bit of a hack.
So, what is the best way to get accurate ticks? I know there are more timers available than the windows forms timer that is readily available in Visual Studio, but I'm not really familiar with them. | .net | timer | null | null | null | null | open | Getting accurate ticks from a timer in C#

Specifically I'm looking for features like:
* stylesheets set up, or pointers to how to do them for iPhone
* page flipping animation, ie. pick an item in a list, list scrolls out of view to the left and information for item scrolls in from the right
* the animation part would have to work with dynamic pages, ie. not just one big page that has divs set up for each sub-item, which at least one such framework had as a sort of quick fix, I would need to have list item picking load the *page* for that item, and then when loaded, scroll to it

I'm setting up a new hosting solution and would much prefer to run a 64bit OS, and since it's an ASP.Net MVC solution with SQL Server DB, the OS is either going to be Windows Server 2003 or (hopfully!) 2008.
I know that this could spill over into a debate regarding 32bit vs 64bit on servers, but let's just say that my preference is 64bit and that I have some [very][2] [good][3] reasons.
So far, I've tried a number of options and found a [bit][4] of [help][6] related to getting this up on a 32bit machine (and succeeded I might add), but since the original [Windows port][5] is Win32 specific, this is hardly going to help when installing as a service on x64. It also has a dependency on the [libevent][7] for which I can only get a Win32 compiled version.
I suspect that simply loading all this up in C++ and hitting "compile" (for 64bit) wouldn't work, not least because of the intricate differences in 32 and 64bit architectures, but I'm wondering if anyone is workng on getting this off the ground? Unfortunately, my expertise lie in managed code (C#) only, otherwise I would try and take this on myself, but I can't believe I'm the only guy out there trying to get [memcached][1] running on a 64 bit Windows server....am I??
Any help or recommendations appreciated...

I have a flash applet that needs to maintain a TCP connection to a server. I have implemented timeouts using Timers, a ping-pong system, etc. However, there's a problem. Upon calling Socket.connect(), the flash player (9.0.115 and many other stables before that) sends 3 connection requests by way of SYN packets, with some time in between. If none of those are replied to (e.g. because the server is down), I cannot get the applet to [attempt to] connect to the server. Ever. That is, within the lifetime of the applet.
To clarify and/or summarize:
For any host/port pair given to Socket.connect() or XMLSocket.connect(), if the call fails, any subsequent connect() calls to any other Socket (or XMLSocket) instances **within the lifetime of the Flash applet** to the same host/port pair get ignored. (At least as far as I can tell using a packet sniffer.)
I have tried calling numerous Socket methods, destroying¹ and recreating the objects, using a pool of Sockets, and various other methods I can't remember right now; all to no avail.
My current solution is to notify the parent webpage through a JavaScript call and let it reload my applet. It's not a pretty solution, and I'm not about to implement workarounds for the problems *it* causes, just because Flash can't handle socket connections properly.
I must be missing something very simple.
Any ideas?
----------
1: I know you can't really destroy objects; I just remove all references to them and hope for the best. I haven't tried to explicitly invoke the GC in this case.

- 1st NIC being used by many of the

- 2nd NIC being used by only 1 image and to be unused by the Linux OS (as its part of a DMZ)
Although the second NIC won't be used by Linux, it is certainly recognised as a NIC (e.g. eth1).
Is this possible under VMWare Server, and if so, is it as simple as not binding eth1 under Linux and then bridging it to the image under VMWare Server?

Following on from my [previous question](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/8625/generic-type-conversion-from-string) on Converting to a Generic Type from String, I thought I would ask another Generics-related question!
This time, **is there a way to enforce/limit the types that are passed to PRIMITIVE's?** _(bool, int, string, etc)_
Now, I know you can limit the generic type parameter to a type or interface implementation via the _where_ clause, however, this doesn't fit the bill for primitives (AFAIK) because the do not all have common ground (apart from _object_ before someone says! :P).
So, my current thoughts are to just grit my teeth and do a big _switch_ statement and throw an _ArgumentException_ on failure..
Just thought I would check here to see if the awesome pool of wisdom that is StackOverflow could offer any better ideas? :)
