SoftCast User Guide

SopCast is a program that has P2P technology to broadcast different television channels that can be acceded from your PC.

One of the advantages about working with the PeertoPeer philosophy is that while more people are trying to see an emission, the better the downloading speed and the view fluidity will.

When initiating Sopcast we have the possibility of choosing between an anonymous connection and one that uses a user account. We chose the one we preferred (in this case the anonymous one) and click on “Connect”.

Once inside, we will see different tabs from which we can accede, the one that matters to us is the Live Channels.

Here we found a worldwide channel list divided in different categories: entertainment and soap opera channels, news, education, sports, etc.

Automobile Insurance Rate Comparison Guide

This guide compares how much Montana drivers might pay for auto liability insurance coverage in nine different geographic areas: Billings, Butte, Bozeman, Great Falls, Helena, Kalispell, Missoula, Scobey and Thompson Falls.

Sixteen of the auto liability insurance companies that write the most insurance in Montana chose to participate in our survey.

If you find any terms, phrases or concepts confusing, we encourage you to read the Montana Consumer’s Guide to Auto Insurance.

How to use this guide

The premium quotes from the insurance companies listed in this guide are:

  • Based on the amount you pay every six months.
  • Based on three years of driving experience.
  • Based on rates in effect as of January 1, 2010. If a company’s rates have changed since then, these quotes may no longer be accurate. (Please keep in mind the premiums quoted are only examples. Your individual situation may include other factors that will be reflected in the premiums quoted to you.)

Design of the Java HotSpot Client Compiler for Java 6

Version 6 of Sun Microsystems Java HotSpotTM VM ships with a redesigned version of the client just-in-time compiler that includes several research results of the last years. The client compiler is at the heart of the VM configuration used by default for interactive desktop applications. For such applications, low startup and pause times are more important than peak performance. This paper outlines the new architecture of the client compiler and shows how it interacts with the VM. It presents the intermediate representation that now uses static single-assignment (SSA) form and the linear scan algorithm for global register allocation. Efficient support for exception handling and deoptimization fulfills the demands that are imposed by the dynamic features of the Java programming language. The evaluation shows that the new client compiler generates better code in less time. The popular SPECjvm98 benchmark suite is executed 45% faster, while the compilation speed is also up to 40% better. This indicates that a carefully selected set of global optimizations can also be integrated in just-in-time compilers that focus on compilation speed and not on peak performance. In addition, the paper presents the impact of several optimizations on execution and compilation speed. As the source code is freely available, the Java HotSpotTM VMand the client compiler are the ideal basis for experiments with new feedback-directed optimizations in a production-level Java just-in-time compiler. The paper outlines research projects that add fast algorithms for escape analysis, automatic object inlining, and array bounds check elimination.

Cisco SCE 1000 2xGBE Installation and Configuration Guide

This chapter describes the possible deployment topologies of the SCE 1000. The Cisco SCE solution offers several basic topology options that permit the user to tailor the SCE Platform to fit the needs of a particular installation. An understanding of the various issues and options is crucial to designing, deploying, and configuring the topology that best meets the requirements of the individual system.

Shaping Surfboards Guide

Board Building

The subject of board building is near and dear to this author’s heart. In the late 1960s, I started designing boards and surfing for a shop in Huntington Beach called Soul Surfboards. At that time, Dale Velzy was their shaper, and I got to spend many hours in the shaping stall with Dale going over board designing, watching and eventually learning how to shape.

When Dale retired from shaping around 1971 and went to Roger’s Foam to sell blanks, he gave me his shaping stand, templates, planer, lights, and other equipment so I could shape on my own. I subsequently was one of the shapers at my shop, Wave Trek Surfboards for several years, and still have and sometimes use this equipment today.
