Conspiracy or oversight?

A recent Computerworld article referenced Linux, Mac OS X and Windows Vista. They linked Mac OS X and Windows Vista to their search but they didn't link Linux. Conspiracy? Oversight?

AspectJWeaver with JDK 7 - error - only supported at Java 5 compliance level or above

I came across this problem with an older project - when I switched from jdk6 to jdk7, when the application started I encountered: nested exception is org.springframework.beans.factory.BeanCreationException: Error creating bean with name 'org.springframework.transaction.annotation.AnnotationTransactionAttributeSource#0': Initialization of bean failed; nested exception is java.lang.IllegalArgumentException:   error annotation type patterns are only supported at Java 5 compliance level or above I didn't want a purely maven solution because during development I run the app in Tomcat via the IDE (Intellij IDEA). In the end I just upgraded my aspectjweaver dependency to 1.7.2 (it was 1.5.4) <dependency>    <groupId>org.aspectj</groupId>    <artifactId>aspectjweaver</artifactId>    <version>1.7.2</version> </dependency> Everything seems okay now.

Testing on Windows IE/Edge

I'm using a MacBook Pro, so I don't have easy access to a windows machine for testing web applications on Internet Explorer - or so I thought... Microsoft have made available virtual machine images (for VirtualBox, Parallels, Vagrant, VMWare, HyperV) of Windows 7 through to 10 so you can run IE and Edge easily. Note that the VMs expire after 90 days, but if you take a snapshot when you first install the VM you can roll it back later and start again. Perfect!

Getting rid of Root email

I've got a Linux VPS through RimuHosting - I'm no system admin, and the root account gets a pile of email spam. This takes up disk space so I try to regularly delete it. The best way I've found is to us Mutt - a console based email reader. Firing up Mutt as root displays the thousands of spam mails recieved. Pressing 'D' lets you delete messages that match a pattern. So I can specify the pattern 'a' and that matches almost all of the messages. When quitting the application, it deletes the marked messages. So, this is a good solution for reading or deleting many emails without downloading them - if you have ssh access. To avoid having to do this, can anyone tell me how to stop receiving these emails?
