9 ways ColdFusion 8 will rule web development

Taken from: http://www.downloadsquad.com/2007/04/24/9-ways-coldfusion-8-will-rule-web-development/

Ben Forta and Adobe are getting into full swing with ColdFusion 8 Scorpio Pre-Release tour. Last night Ben gave us in Seattle a taste of things to come. Here is why it will kick the tar balls out of everything else on the market.

  1. Built in AJAX widgets. Create AJAX windows, auto complete forms, calendar popups, grids, WYSIWYG editors, and much more. All using simple ColdFusion based tags and generating industry standard solutions such as Prototype and Yahoo User Interface Javascript.
  2. Native JSON support. ColdFusion components now know if they are called by a web browser and will return JSON formated data automatically. You can also create JSON packets directly or consume them and turn them into native ColdFusion objects.
  3. .NET (and Java!) integration. Pull in .NET objects and use them like native ColdFusion objects. Combine .NET and Java on the same page if you like. Easily the best web based middleware solution.
  4. Microsoft Exchange integration. Love it or hate it, most organizations use Exchange religiously. Now you can read and update email, calendars, tasks and much more. No change to the Exchange server is required.
  5. Flash based presentation builder. Combine HTML, Audio, Flash Movies, Images, and CFCharts to create spiffy flash based presentations on the fly. Just wrap your existing pages in CFPRESENTATION and you are on your way.
  6. Full PDF integration. Create, combine, update, and interact with PDF files using CFPDF and CFPDFFORM tags.
  7. Native image manipulation functions. Blur, sharpen, draw, rotate, stream to browser, and much much more. This finally brings ColdFusion's image support in line with PHP and other frameworks while keeping it so simple that even I could use it.
  8. Across the board enhancements. Improvements in security, speed, Flash Forms, Report Builder, and more.
  9. Administration API. Now you can access, audit, and snapshot all the information the server knows about itself. No longer is ColdFusion a black box. Audit long running processes, most frequently run queries, and bottle necks. SnapShot the server before making your change or doing a reset so that you can analyze potential problems later.
Admittedly I am a ColdFusion fan boy, but I know that it isn't for everyone. Still, ColdFusion is easily the BMW (both in price and in raw engineered quality) of the web application languages out there. With ColdFusion 8 it now becomes possible to build and integrate a vast amount of functionality with only a few lines of code. Imagine letting users quickly create their own presentation by uploading photos and editing slides using a WYSIWYG editor. Then, when they are all done, they can view and share it on the web via Flash or push it to a PDF file. ColdFusion 8 lets you wrap up all this up into a tight package using heavily documented yet extremely simple tags. No scripting required!
ColdFusion 8 Scorpio should land sometime in mid-2007. You know I'll be there.

WEBDAV: Creating Exchange objects with ColdFusion

Exchange Item Creator

Explanation

My workplace has a heavy investment in Microsoft Exchange. We also have a very heavy investment in ColdFusion. So, we've tried to set the two up on a blind date for years. This past year, we finally started to see sparks. It turns out that Exchange can be accessed with WebDav for the purpose of creating Exchange Items. With a little work, ColdFusion can communicate using WebDav. With a little more work, ColdFusion can create Exchange Objects.

BEN FORTA: Scorpio Per Application Settings

Taken from: http://www.forta.com/blog/index.cfm/2007/4/24/Scorpio-Per-Application-Settings

ColdFusion users have long wanted a way to define settings per application, rather than server-wide. In truth, this is doable right now, just install multiple instances of ColdFusion an each instance gets its own CF Admin and own settings.

But, if that is not an option, then Scorpio will help, as I explained last night in Seattle. ColdFusion MX7 introduced Application.cfc as an alternative to Application.cfm. Application.cfc does everything that Application.cfm does, and added important new features (like methods that get executed OnSessionStart and OnSessionEnd).

To set application settings using Application.cfc, variables are set in the THIS scope. THIS.name to set the application name, THIS.sessionManagement to enable session state management, and so on.

In Scorpio, Application.cfc and the THIS scope can be used to define per application settings. For example, THIS.mappings is a structure which contains the currently defined ColdFusion mappings.

To set a mapping you just modify that structure like this:

<cfset THIS.mappings["MyStuff"]="c:\inetpub\MyStuff">

Or like this:

<cfset StructInsert(THIS.mappings, "MyStuff", "c:\inetpub\myStuff")>

To set the Custom Tag path you can update THIS.customtagpaths which is a simple ColdFusion list.

You can set the path like this:

<cfset THIS.customtagpaths="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ben\tags">

Or use ListAppend() to add a path, like this:

<cfset THIS.customtagpaths=ListAppend(customtagpaths, "c:\inetpub\wwwroot\ben\tags")>

You get the idea. It's clean, simple, and highly intuitive. Which means you now have yet another reason to use Application.cfc.

I've forgotten the ColdFusion Administrator password. What can I do?

I've forgotten the ColdFusion Administrator password. What can I do?

In ColdFusion MX, open the file C:\Program Files\ColdFusionMX\lib\neo-security.xml. Alter

<var name="admin.security.enabled">
<boolean value="true" />
</var>

to read

<var name="admin.security.enabled">
<boolean value="false" />
</var>

Restart the ColdFusion MX Application Server service. You can then open the ColdFusion Administrator without being prompted for a password. Enter the new password twice, but don't check the Use a ColdFusion Password box. Click the Submit button and close the browser window. Edit the admin.security.enabled node in neo-security.xml back to true again and restart the ColdFusion MX Application Server service. You will then be able to access the ColdFusion Administrator by supplying the new password.

As a side note, I found that just ticking the Use a ColdFusion Password box in the Administrator just displayed a message saying "Unable to change password" and bombed me out. The procedure above seems to work fine, though.

In ColdFusion 5 Server and earlier, run regedit and go to to

HKLM\Software\Allaire\ColdFusion\CurrentVersion\Server

Change UseAdminPassword from 1 to 0. This will allow you to get into your ColdFusion Administrator without being asked for a password.

Remember to turn on password protection from the Administrator once you get in and change the password.

Installing CFMX7.0.2 on Win Vista with IIS7

This article takes you step-by-step through the process of installing ColdFusion MX 7.0.2 on a PC running the new Vista operating system and using Internet Information Services (IIS) 7.

There are points during the installation process that can and will give you trouble if you follow directions published prior to Vista's release. Therefore, special emphasis has been given to the information you'll need to get working with ColdFusion on Vista.

Who will benefit by reading this article?

ColdFusion programmers who develop and/or run CFM pages locally (including developing CFCs) on a Vista box and who use IIS7.

There are multiple versions of Vista. I am using Vista Business Edition. However, according to the documentation, Vista Home Premium, Ultimate, and Enterprise also ship with IIS 7. Check the Microsoft web site for more information about the Vista editions. I found the Help and How-To pages useful, too.

ColdFusion Server Configuration Choices

ColdFusion pages can be served up using

  1. Server configuration - installs ColdFusion MX 7 as a self-contained server.
  2. Multi-server configuration - installs ColdFusion MX 7 on JRun 4.
  3. J2EE configuration - packages ColdFusion MX 7 as a J2EE application for deployment on an existing J2EE server.

This tutorial includes a discussion of the first server configuration only. That is, the installation of ColdFusion MX 7 as a self-contained server.

Summary of instructions

To get ColdFusion MX 7 running on Vista and IIS 7 you need to do several things:

  1. Install the metabase compatibility component of IIS 7.
  2. Download and run the installation program, which is not entirely successful because it doesn't know how to deal with IIS 7. Fix up is done in the next two steps. In addition, there's a bug in Vista that you need to be aware of when you run the installation program.
  3. Get the missing .dll files.
  4. Configure IIS 7 mappings (for *.cfm and *.cfc files).

In addition, I've included a few notes about uninstalling ColdFusion at the end of the article.

<?cmx action="pagebreak"?>

Install the Metabase Compatibility Component of IIS 7

To use IIS 7 you'll need to install the metabase compatibility component. This component is not automatically installed since it's not used by IIS 7. It's there for backward compatibility. Check out this article for detailed information about the metabase compatibility component. However, before you get bogged down in that really long article, be aware that you don't need to know all the details to continue. You just need to make sure it's installed before you attempt the ColdFusion installation.

To install the metabase compatibility component:

  1. Go to Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
  2. Click Turn Windows features on or off.

    Control Panel > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off

  3. The O/S will prompt you to confirm this action. The dialog, titled User Account Control, says Windows needs your permission to continue. This is a new Vista security feature. Click Continue.
  4. In the Windows Features dialog, make sure you have checks in all the boxes under Internet Information Services > Web Management Tools > IIS 6 Management Compatibility. You'll be asked to wait while the features are configured. The name is a bit confusing at first glance. Think of it this way: you are installing into IIS 7 a component that is needed by applications that ran successfully within IIS 6.

    Internet Information Services > Web Management Tools > IIS 6 Management Compatibility

Okay, now you're ready to start the ColdFusion installation.

<?cmx action="pagebreak"?>

Download and Run the Installation Program

  1. Get the installation executable from the Adobe web site. Save it to your disk and then double-click it.
  2. Click Run when you see the Open File - Security Warning dialog.

    Open File - Security Warning dialog

  3. The files are extracted ...

  4. Select the All IIS websites radio button. Click Next to continue. (Actually, it doesn't matter what you select here since the installer doesn't recognize IIS 7.)

    Select the All IIS websites radio button

  5. Specify the location for the ColdFusion MX administrator. Note that a bug in Vista causes the folder name to be wrong. Be sure to replace %SystemDrive% with C: (or whatever drive letter is appropriate to your installation). Click Next to continue.

  4. Even though the installer has some problems (because of Vista and IIS 7), you're informed that the installation is complete and was successful. You'll fix the problems manually (shown below). Click Done.

    The installation is complete and was successful

The wizard instructions say that to continue, you should go to http://localhost/CFIDE/administrator/index.cfm. However, that produces the following server error:

internal server error

The problem is that since the installer doesn't recognize IIS 7, it did not unpack the required DLLs and it did not configure IIS 7.

<?cmx action="pagebreak"?>

Get the Missing DLLs

So now we begin the manual work to correct problems encountered by the installer. Fortunately, Adobe has provided a TechNote that lists the steps to manually configure the web server connector. Unfortunately, these directions are for IIS 6 so you can't follow them verbatim. They give a good starting point, though.

  1. Open the TechNote and scroll down to the section titled Microsoft IIS 6 Configuration. (Note: there are several typos in the section you need to use. Most are missing spaces between words and filenames. Read their doc carefully. I've corrected the errors here, though.)
  2. Locate the wsconfig.jar file in the cf_root\runtime\lib\ folder. This JAR archive has a lot of files in it. You won't need all of them.

    cf_root corresponds to the folder you indicated in step 10 in the previous section. If you left the dialog set at the default value, the cf_root folder is C:\CFusionMX.

    Hopefully, you already have a utility that unpacks JAR files. If not, get something like WinRAR. The trial version is free for 40 days. Then is $29 (USD). If you use WinRAR, just drag and drop the files from the WinRAR utility to the appropriate directory. It's simpler to do it that way instead of using WinRAR's Extract to button because Extract to, by default, retains folder information, which you don't want.

  3. Extract jrun_iis6.dll and copy it to to cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\.
    You'll find this file in the connectors\isapi\intel-win\prebuilt folder of wsconfig.jar.
  4. Create a new folder in cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\ named 1 (the number one).
  5. Extract and copy jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll to the folder you just created (cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1). You'll find jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll in the connectors\isapi\intel-win\prebuilt folder of wsconfig.jar.
  6. In the cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1 folder, create a file called jrun_iis6_wildcard.ini. The file should contain the following:
    verbose=false
    serverstore=cf_root/runtime/lib/wsconfig/1/jrunserver.store
    bootstrap=127.0.0.1:51011
    apialloc=false
    ssl=false
    #errorurl=<optionally redirect to this URL on errors>

    Note that you'll need to replace cf_root as appropriate to your installation. For example, C:/CFusionMX7. Note the use of the forward slash rather than a back slash.

    In addition, be sure to use the correct bootstrap. The TechNote lists two values, one for MX 6.1 and the other for MX 7. The only difference is the port number. MX 7 uses port 51011.


  7. Create a file called jrunserver.store in the cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1 folder. The file should contain the following:
    proxyservers=127.0.0.1:51011

    Here again you specify the port number according to your version of MX. Port 51011 is used for MX 7.


The rest of the steps in this TechNote pertain to IIS 6 so you can safely skip them.

Next you need to configure IIS 7 to handle the ColdFusion mappings.

<?cmx action="pagebreak"?>

Configure IIS 7 Mappings


In this section you'll make some changes to IIS 7 so that it recognizes and knows how to deal with ColdFusion files. You'll need to add two mappings. One for ColdFusion components (*.cfc) and another for ColdFusion pages (*.cfm).


  1. Go to Start > Administrative Tools > Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager. (You'll get the security prompt "Windows needs your permission to continue" again. Click through it.)
  2. Double click Handler Mappings from the IIS area.

    Select Handler Mappings from the IIS area


  3. Right-click in the center area of the window and select Add Script Map... from the context menu that appears (or select the Add Script Map... link from the Actions listed on the right side).

    Add two mappings. Map both of them to the jrun_iis6_wildcard.dll that you unpacked and placed in the cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\1\ folder (see step 5 in the previous section).

    Mappings for *.cfc and *.cfm files

    After you click OK in the Add Script Map dialog,

    Enable the ISAPI extension

    When you're done, the Handler Mappings list look like this.

    The ColdFusion mappings

    The newly added mappings get added to the bottom of the list but when you refresh you'll see the list sorted according to the values in the Path column.


You may have noticed that you're not using the jrun_iis6.dll that you extracted from wsconfig.jar and placed in the cf_root\runtime\lib\wsconfig\ folder. This is a bit of a mystery to many people. I found that it's not needed, though the Adobe TechNote says you need to put that dll in the wsconfig folder. My guess is that this direction is for IIS 6 only, which I didn't test.

<?cmx action="pagebreak"?>

Uninstall ColdFusion MX 7.0.2


When you uninstall ColdFusion you end up with some "turds" - this is, files that should have been deleted but weren't. That means you need to do the clean up manually.


  1. Initiate the uninstall by going to Start > Control Panel > Programs and Features.
  2. Select Macromedia ColdFusion MX 7 from the list and then click Uninstall/Change (or right-click ColdFusion to see the same option).

    Uninstall ColdFusion MX 7


  3. Upon completion, you'll see a dialog that says the uninstall completed but that several files could not be removed. All of them are in the CFusionMX7 folder (in other words, the cf_root).

    uninstall completed but that several files could not be removed

    (By the way, I installed on my D drive so that's why this screenshot shows my cf_root as D:\CFusionMX7.)


  4. Reboot your computer.
  5. Manually delete the the entire CFusionMX7 folder using the File Explorer.
  6. Lastly, you'll need to remove ColdFusion MX 7 from the program list you see when you go to Start > All Programs > Macromedia.

    Delete the folder to remove the item from the App Programs list

    To remove it, delete the C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Macromedia\ColdFusion MX 7 folder.

Otton Solís y sus negocios oscuros

Esto es una copia de un correo que circula en las cuentas de correo de algunos periodistas en Costa Rica. Toda la información es verificable y está claramente documentada.. es irrefutable.

yo no escribí esto, solo recibi el correo y le hice copy-paste al blog....

================================================

¿ CÓMO OTTÓN SOLÍS SE APROPIÓ DE TIERRAS EN EL ASENTAMIENTO CAMPESINO OSA Y DENTRO DE LA RESERVA FORESTAL GOLFO DULCE ?

  1. Por medio de los Decretos de Expropiación # 10088 –G-H publicado el 01 de junio de 1979 y reformado por el Decreto # 10244-G del 05 de julio de 1979, el Instituto de Tierras y Colonización (ITCO), actualmente IDA, adquirió tres fincas que en conjunto medían alrededor de 25 mil hectáreas, con el objetivo de conformar el Asentamiento Campesino Osa y beneficiar a agricultores de escasos recursos. El Estado pagó los inmuebles por medio de bonos agrarios del Ministerio de Hacienda.
  1. En fecha 11 de julio de 1979, siendo ya esas tierras propiedad del Estado por mandato de los decretos referidos, Alex Solís Fallas (hermano de Ottón Solís), quien en la escritura se manifiesta “agricultor”, adquirió de un poseedor en precario asentado sobre la finca estatal (Ismael Carvajal Beita) una porción de terreno que mide 240 hectáreas. (Escritura # 1834, otorgada a las 15: 00 hrs. Del 11 de julio de 1979 ante el Notario Olman Vargas Cubero).
  1. En la misma fecha 11 de julio de 1979 y sobre la misma finca perteneciente al Estado, Humberto Solís Fallas, (también hermano de Ottón Solís), quien igualmente se dice “agricultor”, adquiere de otro precarista existente sobre el bien demanial (Erlinda Ureña Granados) otra parcela que mide 187 hectáreas (Escritura #1835, otorgada a las 16:00 hrs. Del 11 de julio de 1979 ante el Notario Olman Vargas Cubero).
  1. El total de los terrenos comprados por parte de los hermanos de Ottón Solís a los precaristas suma 327 hectáreas, negociación que realizaron después de que el Estado había adquirido esas tierras con el fin de conformar un asentamiento campesino.
  1. El ITCO, desde entonces y hasta la actualidad, por política institucional prohíbe otorgar título de propiedad por más de 300 hectáreas a un mismo poseedor. Para ello aplican por analogía el límite de área autorizado en la Ley de Informaciones Posesiones y en la anulada Ley de Titulación Múltiple. Además, para ser sujetos de titulación los gestionantes deben superar los requisitos de clasificación y adjudicación que exige la ley de Tierras y Colonización # 2825 en sus artículos 62, 63 y 64, entre los que se destacan ser agricultor y trabajar personalmente la parcela. Esta ley también prohíbe adjudicar más de una parcela por beneficiario.
  1. En fecha 16 de agosto de 1980, Ottón Solís Fallas (quien en la escritura se declara Economista) y sus hermanos de nombres Humberto (quien ya no se pone en la escritura “agricultor” sino Médico), Alex (se indica Estudiante de Derecho), Marvin, Rafael, y María Mayela (estudiantes), sin que se indique ni conozca el título de adquisición de sus derechos pero siempre con relación a la finca que le pertenecía al Estado desde hace más de un año atrás, le venden 77 hectáreas que formaban parte de ese bien estatal al señor Juan de Dios Mata Ureña, de oficio comerciante. (Escritura 2825 otorgada a las 07:00 hrs. Del 16 de agosto de 1980 ante el Notario Olman Vargas Cubero).
  1. Cuando Ottón Solís y sus hermanos hacen la supuesta venta de esa parcela no habían sido declarados beneficiarios y adjudicatarios del ITCO, siendo poseedores en precario sobre un bien del Estado. En la misma escritura se reconoce por parte de los vendedores que el inmueble que le traspasan a Juan de Dios es la parcela 2-97 del ITCO”; es decir, Ottón y sus hermanos tenían claro conocimiento de que estaban vendiendo bienes del Estado, los que están fuera del comercio de los hombres y no son susceptibles de apropiación por particulares, según el artículo 262 del Código Civil .
  1. Ese parece ser un contrato tan solo de papel, simulado, con el que Ottón Solís y sus hermanos buscan burlar el límite de área que el ITCO establece en 300 hectáreas para titular tierras a un solo beneficiario; lo anterior se deduce no sólo por lo irrisorio del precio (las 77 hectáreas fueron vendidas en 10 mil colones con la consecuente evasión fiscal al no pagar los timbres e impuestos reales), sino por la cercanía familiar entre los contratantes (el supuesto adquirente, Juan de Dios, era esposo de María Virginia Solís Fallas, hermana de Ottón Solís y de los restantes propietarios), y porque años más adelante la propiedad, una vez que se habían aprovechado para titularla por medio del ITCO, fue traspasada a nombre de una Sociedad Anónima que le pertenece a Ottón Solís y sus hermanos (GANADERA GUAYACAN DEL CEIBO S.A.) regresando el bien a sus manos; además de que Giovanni Solís Fallas (otro hermano de Ottón) reconoció en una gestión posterior ante el IDA que ellos han mantenido la posesión sobre esas fincas.
  1. Curiosamente tan sólo 2 días después de la fecha en que se firmaba la escritura en la que consta la venta que Ottón y los hermanos Solís Fallas hacen a favor de su cuñado, exhibiendo una celeridad en extremo sospechosa, la Junta Directiva del ITCO, en la sesión 2401 del 18 de agosto de 1980, declara adjudicatarios a Juan de Dios de una parcela de 77 hectáreas, y a los hermanos Ottón, Humberto, Alex, Marvin, Norberto y María Mayela, todos Solís Fallas, de una parcela de 263 hectáreas. La pregunta es: ¿ en que momento se realizaron las inspecciones de campo, la visita a los linderos de la finca, la verificación de los actos de posesión y mejoras en el terreno y la entrevista a los testigos, para determinar que esas personas clasificaban para ser adjudicatarios y beneficiarios del título ?
  1. Además de que ni Ottón Solís ni ninguno de los adjudicatarios era agricultor, ni cumplía los requisitos de clasificación y adjudicación exigidos en la ley de Tierras y Colonización, en el expediente administrativo también existen otros señalamientos que hacen ver irregularidades en el procedimiento de adjudicación. Según oficio ST 416-2001 el Ing. Gilberto Rodríguez Soto, Coordinador del Programa de Titulación y Compensación Social, se señala que “el procedimiento no está claro”, “no se indica si a estos señores se les realizó el estudio socio económico”, “nos encontramos algunas inconsistencias”, “el trámite de escritura se generó sin estar el plano catastrado”, “se le otorgó una escritura por la parcela 2-96 por una cabida de 263 hectáreas a favor de los hermanos Solis Fallas sin valorar que estos señores habían vendido otra parcela (2-97) a favor de Juan de Dios Mata Ureña”.

  1. Ottón Solís y sus hermanos pagaron el valor de la tierra adquirida al ITCO en la suma de 750 colones por hectárea. Y no lo hicieron al contado, sino que constituyeron una deuda con la institución firmando una cómoda hipoteca por la suma total de 213, 467.oo colones pagadera en un prolongado plazo de 25 años que corrieron del 06 de diciembre del año 1980 al 06 de diciembre del año 2005, devengando un blando interés del 4 % anual sobre saldos.

  1. Desde el 01 de junio de 1999 la finca de 263 hectáreas adjudicada por el ITCO a nombre de Ottón Solís y sus hermanos, inscrita en el Registro de la Propiedad bajo la matrícula 41751 del Partido de Puntarenas, aparece traspasada a nombre de GANADERA GUAYACAN DEL CEIBO SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA, que es una empresa comercial propiedad de Ottón Solís y sus hermanos. Lo anterior, no obstante que la ley no permite que sociedades anónimas y comerciantes califiquen como beneficiarios de los programas de dotación de tierras del ITCO, ahora IDA.

  1. Igualmente desde el 01 de junio de 1999, cerrando el circulo del engaño en que se hizo incurrir al Estado para lograr titular más de 300 hectáreas, la finca de 77 hectáreas adjudicada a nombre de Juan de Dios Mata Ureña, inscrita en el registro Nacional bajo la matrícula 41749 del Partido de Puntarenas, también aparece traspasada a nombre de la misma sociedad GANADERA GUAYACAN DEL CEIBO SOCIEDAD ANÓNIMA, propiedad de Ottón Solís y su hermanos.

  1. Ambas fincas, que suman un total de 340 hectáreas, la sociedad de don Ottón Solís y sus hermanos, la declararon, según consta en el Registro Público, en un valor fiscal que en conjunto no supera los novecientos mil colones. Es decir, que cualquier persona pobre beneficiaria de un programa de vivienda de interés social paga más impuestos que la sociedad comercial de Ottón Solís y sus hermanos por su latifundio.

  1. No conformes con las 340 hectáreas ya tituladas de manera irregular, mediante un nuevo escrito fechado 13 de diciembre del 2000, Giovanni Solís Fallas (hermano de Ottón Solís) se apersona ante el IDA reclamando que, además de las parcelas 2-96 (263 hectáreas) y 2-97 (77 hectáreas), por un error el ITCO dejó de titularles en su momento otras 85 hectáreas que también les pertenecen. El terreno que solicitaba titular apenas había sido medido por los Solís Fallas en el año 2000, según consta en el plano # P-1093-2000.
  1. Increíblemente ese nuevo inmueble que pretendían se inscribiera a nombre de la sociedad de Ottón Solís y su hermanos, en realidad se trataba de bosque primario UBICADO DENTRO DE LA RESERVA FORESTAL GOLFO DULCE, perteneciente por mandato de la Ley Forestal al Patrimonio Natural del Estado. En el mismo escrito el hermano de Ottón Solís reconoce que la sociedad GANADERA GUAYACAN DEL CEIBO S.A. pertenece a su familia y expresamente indica que “la titulación solicitada podría salir a nombre de nuestra sociedad, a nombre de cualquiera de nuestros hermanos, o a nombre de todos”. También pide en el escrito que no se le apliquen a la titulación las limitaciones que estable el articulo 67 de la ley 2825 y que no se les practique estudio de selección de beneficiarios.

  1. En fecha 29 de abril del 2002, sesión 033-02, la Junta Directiva del IDA con un mejor criterio legal y técnico que el utilizado con anterioridad, deniega la solicitud de escriturar ese terreno de 85 hectáreas adicionales a nombre de Ottón Solís y sus hermanos. Por el contrario, declara que el inmueble que pretenden inscribir los Solis Fallas pertenece al patrimonio institucional y ordena traspasarlo al Ministerio de Ambiente y Energia (MINAE). Al día de hoy, sin embargo, Ottón Solis y su hermanos siguen poseyendo ese terreno y no han realizado ninguna devolución formal a nombre del MINAE en representación del Estado.

¿Y Juan de Dios Mata Ureña, el cuñado de Ottón Solís ? Ahora está divorciado de la hermana de los Solís Fallas, sin bienes de fortuna, trabaja como chofer, tiene su teléfono cortado (306-46-23) y en los últimos 15 años ha rodado por cinco domicilios diferentes.

Scientists break speed of light

Scientists have finally exceeded the speed of light, causing a light pulse to travel hundreds of times faster than normal.

It raced so fast the pulse exited a specially-prepared chamber before it even finished entering it.

The experiment is the first-ever evidence of faster-than-light motion.

The result appears to be at odds with one of the basic principles of Albert Einstein's theory of relativity, that nothing can go faster than the speed of light in a vacuum, about 186,000 miles per second.

However, Lijun Wang, one of the scientists from the NEC Research Institute in Princeton, N.J., says their findings are not at odds with Einstein.

She says their experiment only disproves the general misconception that nothing can move faster than the speed of light.

The Dojo Offline Toolkit

The Dojo Offline Toolkit will be a small, cross-platform, generic download that enables web applications to work offline.

Let’s look at the Dojo Offline Toolkit from a user’s perspective. Imagine Alex is using a web-based real estate application for realtors built with the Dojo Offline Toolkit. In the upper-right corner of this web application is a button that says “Work Offline.” The first time Alex clicks on this button, a small window appears informing him that this web application can be accessed and used even if he is offline. If Dojo Offline has never been installed, Alex is prompted to optionally install a small 100K through 300K download that is automatically selected for his appropriate OS, including Windows, Linux/x86, and Mac OS X/Universal Binary.

Once Dojo Offline is installed with the included installer, the web-based real estate application prompts Alex to drag a hyperlink to his desktop and bookmark the web application’s URL. As Alex works online, anything that should be available offline is simply stored locally. If Alex is offline, he can reach his application by simply double-clicking the link on his desktop, opening its bookmark, or by simply typing in its normal web address. The application’s user-interface will magically appear in the browser, even if the user is offline, and all offline data will be retrieved from and stored into local storage. Dojo Offline detects when the network has reappeared, allowing the web application to send any data stored in local storage to the web server.

Local storage is done using Dojo Storage, which allows web applications to store hundreds of K or megabytes of information inside the browser, with the user’s permission. Dojo Storage is complete and works across 95% of the existing installed base of the web, including Firefox, Safari, and Mozilla on Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. The Dojo Offline Toolkit will come bundled with Dojo Storage.

Once Dojo Offline has been installed, it will work for any web application that codes to it — it is completely generic and has no application specific information in its download. Applications have a consistent, simple API they can code to, the Dojo Offline and Dojo Storage APIs, to enable offline ability. Even better, since the user always interacts with the web application through its domain name, rather than through a file:// URL or http://localhost domain name, the web application runs under the same security policies as standard web sites, which means a user’s machine will not be compromised by an untrusted web application. The Dojo Offline Toolkit will work in Internet Explorer, Firefox, and Safari, and will run on Windows, Linux/x86, and Mac OS X/Universal Binary.

The Dojo Offline Toolkit will be fully open source, available under the same licenses as Dojo: the BSD and the AFL.
