A set of useful queries on INFORMATION_SCHEMA follows. These queries can be used when approaching a new database, to learn about some of its properties, or they can be regularly used on an existing schema, so as to verify its integrity. I will present queries for: * Checking on database engines and size * Locating duplicate and redundant indexes * Checking on character sets for columns and tables, looking for variances * Checking on processes ...

It allows a user to control a number of parameters, including the SQL query to use, individual indexing/storage/term-vector nature of fields, analyzer, stop word list, and other tuning parameters. In its default mode it uses threading to take ...

OCLC, owners of WorldCat, are getting greedy. It's now demanding that every library that uses WorldCat give control over all its catalog records to OCLC. It literally is asking libraries to put an OCLC policy notice on every book record in their catalog. It wants to own every library. It's not just Open Library that's at risk here -- LibraryThing, Zotero, even some new Wikipedia features being developed are threatened. Basically anything that uses information ...

原文：Why Designers Fail LukeW 版权所有 作者：LukeW 翻译：UCD翻译小组，Roc 原文地址：http://www.lukew.com/ff/entry.asp?739 Scott Berkun最近公布了一个有389人参与的调查“为什么设计者失败了”。该调查旨在探究为什么设计者以及和设计打交道的人认为设计者始终无法给他们想要的结果。 有趣的是，调查中前15位的问题中，有相当一部分和之前的一份关于限制设计的组织影响力的因素列表相吻合，该列表是Tom Chi和我出席为世界各地的设计师举办的设计影响战略决策主题讨论会之后搜集整理出的。Scott调查中的前五位原因是： 非设计人员的左右了设计抉择 领导们制定了设计决定 设计师在设计前没有搜集充足的资料 时间紧迫，没办法多想了 对关键性的反馈意见视而不见 Scott作了如下总结：“许多导致失败的前几项，问题并不出自设计本身，比如协同技能，说服技能以及是否对批评的声音置若罔闻”，有趣的是，在我们的设计影响战略决策注1课程中，也有一张表达类似观点的图注2。 如上图中所示，我们的课程主要为设计师传授组织效能方面的技能。一旦设计师在设计学（交互设计、排版等）上到达一定层次后，他们就亟待具备设计之外的能力来影响自己公司的战略决策。 [注1] 设计影响战略决策：这是一个由作者LukeW授课的课程，短文中提到过几次，像是在打广告 by Cloud Zhang [注 2] 插图：其实从左至右是一个设计者在企业中的决策地位。靠左的地位比较低，靠右的地位比较高。地位越低的，设计方面要学的越多，当设计能力到达一定阶段的时 候，例如设计师升为团队负责人（中层管理）的时候，设计上他所要掌握的技能就不再现在急迫了，反而是组织管理上要大幅度增强。 P.S. 又是类似总结性质的简短的小品文，感觉要吃透LukeW的文章必须认真研读Functioning Form的每一篇文章。

Google has grown from being just a search engine, to developing products and applications. Given that Google is still a search engine at heart, and loves indexing things, it is not surprising they would sooner or later index scanned documents. If you upload a scanned document to the Internet, Google will now not only find it, it will read the contents using Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology. Google says that using this technology it allows ...

Exchange Server 2003 and later versions of Exchange Server provide support for certain Outlook features, and Office Outlook 2007 works better with Exchange Server 2003 or later in several ways for other features. Several of these features were introduced in Outlook 2003—most notably for synchronization processing, user synchronization status reports, and junk e-mail filtering. Instant Search and automatic Exchange server discoverability are new in Office Outlook 2007. Synchronization between Outlook...(read more)

Axel Peemoeller's award-winning parking lot design has giant words that snap into focus when you stand (or drive) in the right position, providing strong orientation cues: "In Melbourne I developed a way-finding-system for the Eureka Tower Carpark. The distorted letters on the wall can be read perfectly when standing at the right position. This project won several international design awards." Eureka Carpark Melbourne (Thanks, Bill!)

There are tons of open source applications out there, from operating systems to word processors to graphics programs and more. But, it’s often hard to find manuals or other documentation beyond what the developers have written (which, while technically correct, doesn’t always cover the nuances of actually using the program). Here are more than 20 video tutorials to get you going with four of the most popular open source programs out there: Gimp, Linux, Open ...
