One of the more interesting ideas in Cosmos is that we might live inside a black hole. It's one way to grapple with the finiteness of the universe. "Where does the universe end?" asks the student. "Is there a wall, and if so, what's on the other side?" Well, if you lived inside a black hole you might ask the same questions. Exactly the same questions. [Scripting News]

Virtuoso, Mono, and the future of data management.
using System;
[Serializable]
public class Point
{...
create table CLR..Supplier (id integer primary key, name varchar (20), location CLR..Point);
insert into CLR..Supplier (id, name, location) values (1, 'S1', new CLR..Point (1, 1));
select s.name from CLR..Supplier s where s.location."distance" (CLR.."Point" (4, 4)) | The inevitable unification of our various data-management disciplines -- SQL, XML, object persistence -- is a longstanding fascination of mine. For a glimpse of where things are headed, check out OpenLink Software's online demo of the new version 3 of its Virtuoso Universal Server. At this URL, you can see a live example of .NET CLR objects being stored in the Virtuoso database, and .NET methods being called on those objects from Virtuoso's stored-procedure language. ...

Hosting the CLR or the JVM?. I saw this interesting post, which I'm extracting in its entirety:
Cameron Purdy wrote,
So I saw this interesting blog entry. The interesting thing with .NET is that you can actually run the JVM inside the .NET process and use a product like JNBridge to semi-transparently access the one from the other. The best of the Java world easily available in .NET, sans the web services overhead. Could that mean software-level peer-to-peer clustering for .NET? (Heh.) Stay tuned.
It goes the other way, too. The CLR can be hosted from a process started by the Java bootstrapper, just as well. For example, I've got some JNI code called from a webapp that loads the CLR and calls into the ASP.NET runtime. At this point, all I'd need to do is (a) build the appropriate HttpRequest class in .NET that knows how to extract the HTTP request data from the servlet HttpServletRequest and HttpServletResponse objects (as well as a few associated others), and (b) set up the webapp to map .aspx, .ashx, .asmx and a few other extension types to a servlet that does this call-transition, and lo and behold, we have ASP.NET running behind a Tomcat front-end. Depending on how the bindings take shape, you could conceivably have shared session state between both environments, all running in-process. The fact that both environments have a well-documented interface for hosting their respective managed environments and that both environments run entirely in-process is what makes this possible. (About the only thing left, then, is to bind in the Python runtime and we've got just about every language in use today covered. Of course, that process will consume about 100,000 megs of physical memory, but hey, memory's cheap, right? :-) )
So that gets me thinking.... What about from VisualWorks? I take the above stuff as glossing over the difficulties and making it sound too easy, but still.... [Cincom Smalltalk Blog]

NC State VFW Commander & Adjutant Quartermaster. made a good point today in convo. Families of 911 victims received over a million bucks while vets get thrown a bone after serving. The family of a soldier KIA gets maybe 100 grand. Vets that survive war get treated in underfunded hospitals and tons of red tape just to stand in line. A mill for a chance situation, a few grand for bravery. [Tara Sue's Weblog News]
