ISTAT is moving from SAS to R 5 Jun 2009

“Istat [..] helps to develop ‘R Project‘, a statistical open source application. “We have donated software libraries to R, and are moving away from using SAS, the proprietary alternative to R. We contributed to the statistical application Adamsoft, which is being developed at the Caspur computing-lab, just two kilometres away from our institute.”

Vaccari says adopting open source requires institutes to make adjustments in their organisational culture. “It changes how people work, from ‘I’m important because I’m a bottleneck, to I’m important because I share things‘.”

Connecting to a database with a webService (cxf) deployed (jbi) in Servicemix 30 May 2009

Introduction

Apache ServiceMix at the moment doesn’t have a JBI component for connecting to a database (servicemiix-jdbc is in the roadmap): in the meanwhile you have to use servicemix-cxf or servicemix-bean.

This example (cxf-wsdl-first-jdbc.zip, cxf-wsdl-first.pdf)  is built on top of the example cxf-wsdl-first and can be deployed in apache servicemix 4.0 as JBI sa package.

Microsoft Tax and Apple tax 8 Jan 2009

Microsoft dice che ogni volta che si compra un Mac si paga una tassa ad Apple. Ma si puo’ dire analogamente che ogni volta che si compra un pc con installato windows, si paga una tassa a Microsoft. Con Linux e OpenOffice la stragrande maggioranza degli utenti di computer potrebbero risparmiare la Microsoft tax e per di piu’ non avere piu’ problemi di virus!!!!
