All the above answers are correct, as far as I can tell, so I'm going to tell you something else. For production code you really should use the classes in java.util.concurrent. There is very little they cannot do for you, in the area of concurrency in java.

Having a `favicon.*` in your root directory is automatically detected by most browsers. You can ensure it's detected by using: ``` <link rel="icon" type="image/png" href="/path/image.png" /> ``` Personally I use .png images but most formats should work.

Favicon must be an [.ico file](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ICO_%28icon_image_file_format%29) to work properly on all browsers. Modern browsers also support PNG and GIF images. I've found that in general the easiest way to create one is to use a freely available web service such as [favicon.cc](http://favicon.cc/).

One more compression thought: If the bit array is not crazy long, you could try applying the [Burrows-Wheeler transform](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burrows-Wheeler) before using any repetition encoding, such as Huffman.

We generate web pages that should always be printed in landscape mode. Web browser print dialogs default to portrait, so for every print job the user has to manually select landscape. It's minor, but would be nice for the user if we can remove this unnecessary step. Thanks in advance to all respondents.
How do I make an HTML page print in landscape when the user selects 'print'?

What is the normal way people writing network code in Delphi use Windows-style overlapped asynchronous socket I/O? Here's my prior research into this question: The [Indy](http://indyproject.org/) components seem entirely synchronous. On the other hand, while ScktComp unit does use WSAAsyncSelect, it basically only as...

I have a console program written in C# that I am using to send faxes. When I step through the program in Visual Studio it works fine. When I double click on the program in Windows Explorer it works fine. When I setup a Windows scheduled task to run the program it fails with this in the event log. ``` EventType clr2...

Is the scheduled task running on the same computer you're developing on, or is it on a dedicated olp server? It's quite common for paths to change when you change environments, so is the path to the document you're trying to send the same?

I can't explain it - but I have a few ideas. Most of the times, when a program works fine testing it, and doesn't when scheduling it - security is the case. In the context of which user is your program scheduled? Maybe that user isn't granted enough access. Is the resource your programm is trying to access a network ...

The 'standard' way to do this with rails is to run a "pack" of Mongrel instances (ie: 4 copies of the rails application) and then use apache or nginx or some other piece of software to sit in front of them and act as a load balancer. This is probably how it's done with other ruby frameworks such as merb etc, but I ha...

I agree with MartinNH. Many of these problems root from the fact that you develop while logged in as an administrator in Visual Studio (so the program has all the permissions for execution set properly) but you deploy as a user with lesser privileges. Try setting the priveleges of the task scheduler user higher.

Native Delphi enumerations are already type-safe. Java enumerations were an innovation for that language, because before it didn't have enumerations at all. However, perhaps you mean a different feature - enumeration values prefixed by their type name. Upcoming Delphi 2009, and the last version of the Delphi for .NET ...

Suppose your git history looks like this: 1 2 3 4 5 1–5 are separate revisions. You need to remove 3 while still keeping 1, 2, 4 and 5. How can this be done? Is there an efficient method when there are hundreds of revisions after the one to be deleted?
How do you remove a specific revision in the git history?
