Today’s talk at the St. Louis JUG is on HttpUnit, by Lauri Peterson from Technology Partners. Lauri had a lot of real world experience with HttpUnit and talked not only about the stuff that you can learn from the tutorials, but also the pitfalls and irregularities.

Today’s quote of the day, however, is not about HttpUnit. It’s from Lauri’s opening ice-breaker story, which has her getting a recruiter phone call at diner time: “I’m Richard So-and-so. I work for Google. I was searching the web and your name came up. ...” Then she realized:

“I’ve been Googled by Google!”

Mark Volkmann asked a simple question on our internal Java mailing list: Are Java Thread priorities being ignored on the Linux platform (Fedora Core 4 on i386 with Sun's latest JDK 5.0 update)?

I can't seem to find the answer in a definitive way.

I would appreciate it if someone who has gone through researching the answer to this question give me a hint.

Thanks,
