Unix-like

Yes, I've had the pleasure of working with several variants of Unix in the past, actually. Thanks for the note, though :-) --Joshua David Williams 21:41, 23 April 2007 (CDT)

Your JIT image

Pat, what did you create

with? It looks a lot more professional than my

. I'm running Linux, and the closest thing I've found to making professional-looking diagrams is maybe OpenOffice Draw. Eric M Gearhart

Re: "He he. That thing is a patchwork."
Yes mine is too unfortunately. I started work on it during a slow shift at work with MS Paint (when every link we monitor is green it gets boring in Iraq...) and finished it in the KDE equivalent of paint, Kolourpaint. It's a big hack too unfortunately. I will try my hand at recreating it in maybe OO.o draw or GIMP or something. Also I'd like to add more descriptive icons to each layer, such as Tux on the OS layer, Duke on the Java layer and something that represents "programs" on the "Actual Java Program" layer.
In reference to Paint Shop Pro, I've read about Paint.NET, which is an open source "better Paint than Paint." Have you tried it? If I can I'll try and get it working in Mono on Linux :/ Eric M Gearhart


If you're rested....

..feel free to take her away. There is clearly something obvious I am missing in the stacked if statements. We could revert back to only having two groups but I am pretty sure from the checklists i have seen we will need to be able to accomodate three different workgroups.

I think i figured out a partial solution. I say partial since the group2 parameter must be used before the group 3 one, but i think we can live with that. See what you think. Thanks for any input and tweek/ rewrites. Chris Day (talk) 23:31, 26 April 2007 (CDT)

Number vs. Numerals

I see you've changing "numeral" to "number" in a number (no pun intended) of places. I wonder what the rationale is: my undefrsgtanding is that a numeral is a symbolic or graphic representation of a number. So, it makes sense to call 110 the representation of 6 (thought of as a number) as a binary numeral. The dictionary definition seems to allow not only "digits" but groups of symbols that, taken together, represent numbers as numerals. Greg Woodhouse 13:46, 28 April 2007 (CDT)
