Running under Windows Vista I get:

C:\>java -jar finddups.jar / 0 >dups.txt
java.lang.NullPointerException
at finddups.FileFinder.findFiles(FileFinder.java:25)
at finddups.FileFinder.findFiles(FileFinder.java:33)
at finddups.FileFinder.findFiles(FileFinder.java:33)
at finddups.Main.main(Main.java:31)

dups.txt has a copy of the command line and nothing else.

I'd vote yes to "Or should I just commit a JAR file to Github". I'd add a read.me suitable for both experts and idiots like me :)

Not being a Java (at least not knowingly) I was puzzled by this:

C:\>java Main.java C:\
Exception in thread "main" java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: Main/java
Caused by: java.lang.ClassNotFoundException: Main.java

Could not find the main class: Main.java. Program will exit.

Could you explicate?

Some speculate that the program is Google’s answer to attacks on network neutrality by the big internet providers like Comcast, Verizon, and AT&T. These companies complain about the price of upgrading and maintaining their network, and want to charge websites like Google extra money to allow customers fast access to its sites. This practice would violate the long held spirit of the internet, where all data traffic is treated equally. Google may be out to prove that fast networks can be built and maintained at reasonable prices."

The only downside is that this is a tethered jailbreak which means that you will have to make sure that your phone is connected to the computer whenever you need to reboot it.

'The options are expanding quickly as companies are building their own databases for holding geographical data, their own rendering tools for building maps, and their own software for embedding the maps in websites. ... Working with these tools can be a bit more complex than working with a big provider like Google. Some of these companies make JavaScript tools for displaying the maps, and others just deliver the raw tiles that the browsers use to assemble the maps. Working with the code means making decisions about how you want to assemble the pieces — now within your control. You can stick with one simple library or combine someone else's library with tiles you produce yourself.'"

Submission + - EPIC Files Motion About Ignored Body Scanner Ruling (epic.org)

Submitted by OverTheGeicoE on Wednesday July 18, 2012 @02:57PM

OverTheGeicoE writes: The Electronic Privacy Information Center filed a motion in court yesterday regarding the court's ignored year-old ruling on EPIC vs. DHS. EPIC is asking the court to require DHS to start taking public comment within 60 days or, as an alternative, forbid DHS from using body scanners in primary airport screening altogether. If the court orders the latter, that would give EPIC what it originally sought in its lawsuit. Meanwhile, for what it's worth, the related petition on whitehouse.gov has a little more than half the signatures it needs to get an official 'response.' The signing period ends on August 9.

Codebender eliminates the problems a first-time Arduino user faces, such as the hassle of installing, managing and updating software, tools and [url="http://codebender.cc/libraries"]external libraries[/url], and keeping them in sync across multiple devices. Having a web-based IDE also means that all your projects are safely stored on the cloud making them available 24/7 and enabling you to program your Arduino even if you are away from your computer. You can even [url="http://codebender.cc/misc/about"]program an internet-enabled Arduino remotely[/url] through the network, straight from the browser.

codebender’s goal is to help the maker community, so the team behind codebender is determined to keep the service free of charge and open to everyone. To cover their hosting fees, [url="http://www.indiegogo.com/codebender?a=806420"]they ask for support through their IndieGoGo campaign[/url] in order to keep the site running."

The natural gas fracking boom seems also to have fixed a situation that has vexed environmentalists, according to Investor’s Business Daily. The natural gas fracking boom has caused a plunge in CO2 output, down to 1990s levels."

Its makers are quick to add that it's still an emerging technology, and that it may still miss out on faces depending on lighting obstructions and video quality. YouTube cites footage from human rights issues for bringing the idea forward, where identification of those involved could prove dangerous. You'll be able to preview how it looks, and if you choose to include the blurred option, a new copy is made to avoid losing the unedited original."

Google said it wanted to build out the network so it could see what people might do with a full gigabit connection, but I also think this is Google’s answer to the ISP’s continued whining about how much networks cost to operate and how providers like Google or Netflix should pay them for delivering traffic across the ISP’s networks."

And they’re winning, doing things to Internet access that makes China’s “Great Firewall” seem tame."
