Comment Re:Our last Pentaho experience.... (Score 1) 103

The Pentaho stack includes two mondrian viewers, jpivot and analyzer. Jpivot is open and free, and you can set this up yourself. Analyzer is an EE feature which allows business users to create analysis views quickly and easily with a drag-drop interface.

Mondrian produces XMLA, so any XMLA client will be able to access Mondrian's output.

you have to edit a whole bunch of XML config files in various directories

If you use the open-source version, sure. If you use the Pentaho BI Suite then no.

You have a central configuration console, schema workbench (available free) for schema design. You can clear the cache programatically by way of a URL or using the API (which can be fine grained down to tuple) or through the user or enterprise-console.

Before spouting such drivel, you should look at what exactly you are using and where you have gone wrong in your assumptions. Then, if you are still confused, contact support should you have a subscription.

Comment Pah, did this over 10 years ago (Score 1) 355

When I was in High school, I developed (not hardware, but the idea and project) for my A-Level coursework an automated library system.
Granted, it didn't use fingerprints, it did use RFID tags in the books and on the library card.

A person would walk in, grab a book, walk out. As they did so, their RFID library card would be logged, as would the books they are carrying, thus a registration of user->book was made.

Any problems may have been just an alarm (user doesn't have their library card on them), or, in a more cynical school, the door to the library would lock and not let you out.

What I do in my own time, whether fantasy or otherwise, should bear no impact on my work as long as said past time activities do not interfere with my professional conduct at work.

A joke on a website is a joke, made in jest. One could argue that the consumer of such joke that read and complained should also consider that her actions of viewing said website would lead to information that would not be factually correct and thus should not have been able to make the complaint in the first place.

That person should be fired for abuse of powers! I have one thing to say to the "holier than thou" brigade: STFU and piss in your own yard!

Having said all that, if the context of here being a problematic employee posted above is true, then the company would find any reason to enter the dismissal stage.

Comment Still not good enough (Score 1) 183

The only thing that has changed is that I can sue the rights holder if I am cut off the internet without justification. Now correct me if I am wrong, but to go through the process of finding a lawyer, communicating with said lawyer, getting forms and doing all the other things you do during a court case would be SERIOUSLY hampered by not having access to the internet. What if I can't afford a lawyer and have to read up on law...can't spend my whole life down in London at the British Library sifting through law books, I would need access to the internet to be able to do research. Also, how the hell am I supposed to check IP addresses and other such online sites I am supposed to have downloaded copyright material from without access?

I wouldn't want to do this down my local internet café really...

Party response:

1. By enabling free and uncostly access to software without the huge costs, thereby saving millions of £ that can be pumped back into getting more drugs.
2. Free software would save costs for software so our troops can be paid better.
3. By making software copyright free, inventors will have a ball and chain lifted from fear of the courts, thereby stimulating the economy with cutting edge new inventions.
4. By making software free, the border guards will save millions in yearly software costs that they can re-introduce into more guards, boats etc. Same with DSS, they would be able to afford to change the system.
5. Giving youngsters access to free music, free software and the ability to invent without risk of being prosecuted would be a great first step into giving kids from falling foul of laws governing the restriction of such material. Imaging what they could do with it...DJing, Discos, net tournaments, backroom electronics...Oh year, and the savings in costs to the police could be re-introduced to the system to allow the police force to increase their beat numbers.
