We'd be interested to hear any experiences with the pros and cons of ActiveMQ vs RabbitMQ vs ZeroMQ. Information about any other interesting message queues is also welcome.

Where are some good resources for looking at the pros/cons of different ways of implementing heap allocators? Resources touching on efficiency (fragmentation, throughput, etc) are preferred. I am NOT looking for simple code repositories.
What do you recommend for testing purposes in Java environment (Selenium or Rational Functional Tester)? Could you write some pros and cons? I heard about MicroFocus TestPartner, do you have experience with it?

Pros & Cons please.
I'll be comparing them myself as well, but I'd like to hear what others have to say.
Also, please state which you have all tried (so that I know you have a good comparison of the 3).
Hi,
Heroku now offer to host your database with mongohq.
What are the pros and cons of using mongohd instead of the traditional PostgreSQL solution?
thanks
In evaluating different systems integration strategies, I've come across some words of encouragement, but also some words of frustration over BizTalk Server.
What are some pros and cons to using BizTalk Server (both from a developer standpoint and a business user), and should companies also consider open source alternatives? What viable alternatives are out there?
EDIT: Jitterbit seems like an interesting choice. Open Source and seems to be nicely engineered. Anyone on here have any experience working with it?
Hi ladies(?) and gents,
I am currently evaluating my options for a rewrite of the projects I'm working on and I am a bit miffed by the stringly-typed nature of our app.config files.
I'd like to move to a more structured approach, so I have two options:
Use custom SectionHandlers in the app.config
Scrap app.config and use XAML instead.
I'd like to get your opinions and horror stories on this, what are the pros and cons of using XAML for this?
Cheers,
Florian
Hi, I'm in the planning stage of a web application and I'm trying to choose between GWT and Cappuccino. I have an idea of which one I think is better, but my partner is sold on the other choice. I was hoping to get some feedback on pros and cons for each from people who have used one or the other or both. Thanks in advance for any insight you might have.
Hi stackoverflow-pros,
I need your help again :)
I wrote an R script, that generates a heatmap out of a given tab-seperated txt or xls file. At the moment, I delete all columns I don't want to have in the heatmap by hand in the xls file.
Now I want to automatize it, but I don't know how :(
The interesting columns all start the same in all xls files, followed by an individual name:
xls-file 1: L1_tpm_xxxx L2_tpm_xxxx L3_tpm_xxxx
xls-file 2: L1_tpm_xxxx L2_tpm_xxxx L3_tpm_xxxx L4_tpm_xxxx L5_tpm_xxxx
Any ideas how to select those columns?
Thanking you in anticipation, Philipp

How do i handle autopoatback in

As in question, I'd like to know best alternative for garbage collector, with it's pros and cons. My priority is speed, memory is less important - if there is gc which doesn't make any pause, let me know.
I need to generate and embed a time series chart into an ASP.NET application.
Most run-time charting tools generate poor time axes, especially if the time scale is dynamic ie the user may choose to view data over a time scale of days, weeks, months or years.
I'm looking for recommended tools that can be integrated into my app. Two that show promise are Chart Director and Google's annotated timeline visualization. Both are quite different in their implementation and have pros/cons.
I'm in a django website's I18N process.
I've selected two potentially good django-apps :
django-modeltranslation wich modifies the db schema to store translations
django-dbgettext wich inspect db content to create .po files and uses gettext
From your point of view, what are the pros and cons of those two techniques ?
We are going to use Google Appengine platform for our next big web project.But we are not sure which flavour to use: Java or Python.
Could you please, advise on cons and pros of each approach? Which is the best way in order to build more scalable and efficient solution quicker.
Thanks in advance
All,
To comment liberally or not to?? Pros and Cons. I personally prefer commenting as it leaves nothing to the fancies of the people reading it.
Thanks
I have a simple question. Should I return a byte-array or simply base64 encode my binary data, when exposing it through a web service in .NET?
Is there any pros/cons with either method, which is mostly supported etc.
I have to choose an online WYSIWYG editor. I'm pending between TinyMCE and Xinha. My application is developed in Asp.Net 3.5. Could you help me with with some pros and cons?
What is the best description of Data, Context and Interaction (DCI) to pitch it to an organization?
There is no Wikipedia-article up on the subject yet.
It's created by Trygve Reenskaug, the creator of the MVC-pattern.
Is it really the successor to MVC or just another pattern? And what are its pros and cons?
Where as a developer do like to you keep your code snippets, links, checklists, final solutions to problems etc?
I've fooled with Google Notebook, MS Onenote, TreePad, textfiles, and Evernote a bit (currently leaning toward Evernote). All have pros and cons but none seem to be really suited to developers. Is anyone super-happy with a collection / note system that's not just generic GTD, but with developer-centric utility?
I can think of two ways to implement dependency properties that are shared between the detail views:
Store them in the master view model and add data bindings to the detail view models when they are created, and bind to them in the detail view.
Don't store them in the view models at all, and use FindAncestor to bind directly to properties of the master view instead.
What are the pros and cons of each, and are there other/better options?
Well Its both a poll and a question. Which approach should i prefer when it comes to writing a custom control in ASP.Net. Should i create a custom User control or should I create a Composite Web Server control. And how about adding a Designer support to the composite control. How are they different from each other and their Pros and Cons.
Differentiating with an example of each will be preferable.
