Re: [OT, Python Quote] Plum vs Fusebox4.1/Mach-II (was RE: Plum vs Adalon?)
To be blunt and i've been on Plum since i think adam invited me ages past, I really dig the concept and cannot fault it for what its achieved. I do however hold back in reservation as simply put: I don't have the time or energy to inherit something ontop of a language that has its own set of problems and issues. I've been thinking a lot as of late on what i expect out of a framework or extension if you will via the WEB/COLDFUSION and in the end I just want something light thats agile enough for me to bolt on anything when it comes to the innerds. Mach-II is much much more agile then plum in regards to ease of use and comparing the two is like apples and plums (hehe couldn't resist). PLUM in many ways is like a Developers CMS / IDE for automated mundane tasks that we do day in day out and lets face it, get sick of rolling. When given a project i tend to want to get straight into the hard part, but like my Guidance Counselor in high school once said do the easy tasks first, then come back and do the hard ones last as if you run out of time, you have gotten more work done in the end didn't understand at the time but daily in CFMX i find myself having to put in stupid time to get to the point of writing the hard stuff and by this time (I'm sure others would agree) you're basically over the concept. PLUM by appearances (i'm only 1 project in so i reserve the right to change my un-informed opinion) seems to fast track you through the crappy tasks and focus on the guts of it all. I am still hanging out for the day when i can put together an XML based concept that automates my view/presenter/partial model allowing me time and energy to focus on the integration part(s) server-side. As thats where the money is needed the most. FLEX offers that in some way, and PLUM seems to hint and being in many ways a similiar alternative (sure technologies are different). So yeah Mach-II is different in so many ways and i wouldn't bother trying to compare the two. (PLEASE NOTE: THIS IS AN IGNORANT OPINION, I'VE USED IT ON AND OFF BUT I CAN HONESTLY SAY, I HAVE MORE WORK AHEAD OF ME IN ITS USE hehehe). -- Regards, Scott Barnes http://www.mossyblog.com ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: Outlook and Coldfusion
I'll now revise my answer to this. iCalendar (which is essentially vCal v2.0) is able to cope with all the complexities of scheduling and all the other Outlook goodies. I just wrote a few methods to deal with it. Export an Outlook appointment by forwarding it as iCalendar (from the ations menu of the open appointment) to see the format. Since I can hear Jochem saying (in Dutch, no doubt), Read the goddam RFC, here it is: http://www.imc.org/rfc2445 http://www.imc.org/rfc2445 and more info here: http://www.imc.org/pdi/ http://www.imc.org/pdi/ vCal is the standard format and cflib.org has a function for dealing with it, but in Outlook all the appointment stuff will be obscured inside MS' proprietary TNEF standard - I'd be surprised if this were easily reproducible. Check out the vCal standard. Also, if you create a meeting request in Outlook and send it to a non-Microsoft mail client, you might be able to view the headers and find the information that requests accepts/declines, etc. James Holmes Divisional Web Interface Development Coordinator Engineering, Science and Computing x4864 ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Flash Remoting remains as elusive as ever
I confess, I am still totally flumoxed by flash remoting. I have done a lot of things with CFCs, and I understand the ColdFusion side of it, but when it comes to the flash side of things, I can never find any resource that can lead me to getting even the most simple of things to work. For example .. I went to EasyCFM tonight to follow a beginners Flash Remoting tutorial, having decided that I ought to put in whatever effort was required to get my mind around it. My heart sank when the first instruction related to the flash end of it went awry. From the File menu, choose New from Template, and go down to web it says. Nope. Not on my FlashMX2004Professional. No such menu item. I knew immediately that this was a tutorial written for another version of Flash, and yet again nothing on my flash version would correlate with the tutorial. And so it went on - The first thing we do is include the necessary links to external Actionscript files that enable Flash Remoting. but no clue given about including .. WHERE? This has been teh case with all the tutorials I've tried to follow in the past, and the three books I have, bear little relationship to the version I have - a fully registered FlashMX2004Professional. Does anyone know of a beginners tutorial related to THIS version of flash? There are so many differences between one version and another - nothing seems to be in the same place twice when I look. I've learned from experience that you can enter stuff into flash but unless you have previously clicked the right frame and the right layer within the frame, nothing works. So for a tutorial to be any use to beginners, it has to give that information too. Simply saying include the necessary links is quite useless to a beginner (well this beginner anyway). I once tried to get help through the flash lists, but they did the same thing. They tried their hardest to be helpful, but because they all know what to do, they forget to include the most basic information that isnt obvious to people like me who havent even got the simplest most elementary flash things to work. Is it a vain hope that there is a really basic beginners tutorial for flashMX2004Professional 7.2?

OT: Apple releases security audit tools for OS X.
I apologize for the off-topic post, but I know several people here are using OS X for their development. I got this from another list: Apple has released Common Criteria Tools for Mac OS X and Mac OS X Server. Essentially, this is a set of standardized auditing tools that can be used to test and configure a system such that it conforms to an internationally recognized set of security standards and criteria. One major thing these tools bring to Mac OS X is a real auditing system, similar to that available on Solaris and other OSes, which could be of great interest to system administrators dealing with Mac OS X-based servers. Apple has also published a guide detailing how to use the tools, and how to set up a system to conform to Common Criteria specifications. http://www.apple.com/support/security/commoncriteria/ For more information on Common Criteria, see: http://niap.nist.gov/cc-scheme/ Another useful, comprehensive Mac OS X security document is the NSA guide to securing Mac OS X: http://www.nsa.gov/snac/os/applemac/osx_client_final_v_1_1.pdf For other NSA guides, see: http://www.nsa.gov/snac/ -Kevin ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

I have run into an issue where control characters such as a right single quote mark #146, since it is already parsed by the browser for display, when you do view source and save it to a file, the location where the control character is shows some garbage in IE, and display the actual character that would be in the browser in Firefox. Anybody know a way to ahndle this?

I just wrote a few methods to deal with it. Export an Outlook appointment by forwarding it as iCalendar (from the ations menu of the open appointment) to see the format. Since I can hear Jochem saying (in Dutch, no doubt), Read the goddam RFC, here it is: http://www.imc.org/rfc2445 http://www.imc.org/rfc2445 and more info here: http://www.imc.org/pdi/ http://www.imc.org/pdi/ vCal is the standard format and cflib.org has a function for dealing with it, but in Outlook all the appointment stuff will be obscured inside MS' proprietary TNEF standard - I'd be surprised if this were easily reproducible. Check out the vCal standard. Also, if you create a meeting request in Outlook and send it to a non-Microsoft mail client, you might be able to view the headers and find the information that requests accepts/declines, etc. James Holmes Divisional Web Interface Development Coordinator Engineering, Science and Computing x4864 ~| Discover CFTicket - The leading ColdFusion Help Desk and Trouble Ticket application http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=48 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:195372 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

RE: Outlook and Coldfusion
One of the biggest problem with Outlook is that it can't subscribe to an internet-based calendar or import an icalendar file that contains more than one event. In comparison, Apple's iCal lets you subscribe to published calendar files, publish your own and supports a limitless number of events per file. I was planning a huge calendar system for work that would have Outlook integration via icalendar and was terribly disappointed to find out how bad Outlook was with calendaring. So watch out, Outlook sucks for calendar support. -- Damien McKenna - Web Developer - [EMAIL PROTECTED] The Limu Company - http://www.thelimucompany.com/ - 407-804-1014 #include stdjoke.h ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

From that point on Flash because a way to test my movie. I use Homesite+ to edit my action script files, I have an action script parser and a bunch of help files integrated into the help tree. And I use the netconnectiondebugger and the trace( ) command to introspect the process When I'm satisfied I turn the whole thing over to a flash guru and have him add animation and widgets etc. It's figuring out how to get rid of all the helpful panels and visual aids that is the hard part :) As for your include remoting files you need the following commands #include netservices.as and #include netdebug.as (that's from memory - so sombody correct me if I get the file names wrong).

Re: Flash Remoting remains as elusive as ever
Yes, it does get very confusing very quickly. For the beginner, it's tough to tell where to begin even. For Flash MX there's the AS1 remoting components. For MX04 there are both AS1 and AS2 versions (and if you choose to work with the AS2 version, you have to download and install 2 different things). And we haven't even started using the stuff yet. So I hear ya Mike! So I see you're using MX04. I take it you're using CF 6.1 or CF 7? Which remoting components have you installed (if any)? chris __ Chris Kief Mindflood, Inc. www.mindflood.com 714.557.2488 x211 On 2/18/05 7:26 AM, Eric Hoffman [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Amen.

I have done a lot of things with CFCs, and I understand the ColdFusion side of it, but when it comes to the flash side of things, I can never find any resource that can lead me to getting even the most simple of things to work. For example .. I went to EasyCFM tonight to follow a beginners Flash Remoting tutorial, having decided that I ought to put in whatever effort was required to get my mind around it. My heart sank when the first instruction related to the flash end of it went awry. From the File menu, choose New from Template, and go down to web it says. Nope. Not on my FlashMX2004Professional. No such menu item. I knew immediately that this was a tutorial written for another version of Flash, and yet again nothing on my flash version would correlate with the tutorial. And so it went on - The first thing we do is include the necessary links to external Actionscript files that enable Flash Remoting. but no clue given about including .. WHERE? This has been teh case with all the tutorials I've tried to follow in the past, and the three books I have, bear little relationship to the version I have - a fully registered FlashMX2004Professional. Does anyone know of a beginners tutorial related to THIS version of flash? There are so many differences between one version and another - nothing seems to be in the same place twice when I look. I've learned from experience that you can enter stuff into flash but unless you have previously clicked the right frame and the right layer within the frame, nothing works. So for a tutorial to be any use to beginners, it has to give that information too. Simply saying include the necessary links is quite useless to a beginner (well this beginner anyway). I once tried to get help through the flash lists, but they did the same thing. They tried their hardest to be helpful, but because they all know what to do, they forget to include the most basic information that isnt obvious to people like me who havent even got the simplest most elementary flash things to work. Is it a vain hope that there is a really basic beginners tutorial for flashMX2004Professional 7.2? Is it too much to ask that tutorial writers and book authors state what versions of things they're writing with? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~| Find out how CFTicket can increase your company's customer support efficiency by 100% http://www.houseoffusion.com/banners/view.cfm?bannerid=49 Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:195386 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=11502.10531.4 Donations Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54

RE: Zip code radius database?
From: Max Hamby [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
If you can get a zip code db that contains latitudes and
longitudes you can
use:
The great circle distance d between two points with
coordinates {lat1,lon1} and {lat2,lon2} is given by:
d=acos(sin(lat1)*sin(lat2)+cos(lat1)*cos(lat2)*cos(lon1-lon2))
Remember to convert to radians first or include the conversion to radians
from degrees in the formula.

On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 10:13:25 -0500, Michael T. Tangorre [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: From: Damien McKenna [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] What about PostgreSQL? Interesting you mention that. I was just about to ask the list about it... who is using it... their impressions. I just downloaded it after reading some articles on it last night. I like PostgreSQL a lot, but until recently the fact that it didn't run reliably on Windows (I mean, cmon, installing under Cygwin?!!?) made it a hard-sell to replace MS-SQL Server, while MySQL has been running reliably on Windows for quite a while. PostgreSQL and MySQL are fundamentally different animals. MySQL originally came out of a data warehousing project as a replacement for msql (and old open source db) and is missing a number of features (transactions, views, stored procs, triggers) that have been slowly added in as it moves into more enterprise situations (and gains more mindshare). PostgreSQL was more of a direct replacement for Oracle, et al, and thus has had far better support for heavily OLTP-oriented applications. I personally keep both in my toolbox (and MS-SQL for some projects as well). Considering the nature of most web applications, I find MySQL handles just about everything that's necessary. Postgresql I think about more for serious enterprise applications where OLTP is far more crucial (though there's no inherent reason MySQL Innodb tables can't handle that). I think the cost issue is a moot point (over the course of a project, the difference between free and $5-10k/proc for a MS-SQL unlimited license), especially when you factor in *moving* to MySQL from MS-SQL and the related training and productivity costs. But if you're thinking of scaling out or distributing/selling an application, it's a lot easier to pay $495/server (for the optional commercial, supported license of MySQL) thatn $5k+/processor for MS-SQL. Of course there's other open source options like Firebird and Derby (formerly IBM Cloudscape) that are interesting to use as well -- John Paul Ashenfelter CTO/Transitionpoint [EMAIL PROTECTED] ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

RE: MySQL charging hard?
Different applications require different databases. Each databse has it perks and failures, depends on what you need. I would guess that Oracle is over kill for most web apps. For that matter SQL2K, DB2 and informix maybe as well. MySql is free but it has it's draw backs, i.e. no stored procedures and I believe therie is SQL nesting incapabilities as well. Like I said it is up to whomever to decide your database needs and I believe in using the best product for the project. -Original Message- From: John Paul Ashenfelter [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 10:55 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: MySQL charging hard?

RE: Flash Remoting remains as elusive as ever
I'll second that. You now have to sign up to look at the archives which were open to all a while ago. I've also not received any posts from Flashcoders since Tuesday, not sure what's up with that. The Flashnewbies list is great for so called simple questions. I've had some really good replies which helped get my head around Flash in general. I'm not sure who said it, but it is true that you finally get what's happening in Flash, remoting included. I'd disagree with Alex S on there always being a better way in HTML. Sometimes you need to get content into Flash and I'd go for remoting over LoadVars. XML has proved useful in the past and the webservices in the lastest Flash release has also shown to be useful.

I need to copy this file to all the servers in the cluster so really there are multiple cffile action=write after the get. I guess once I have the file I need to read it with cffile action=readBinary, there is no writeBinary so will cffile action=write work? It might. However, you might be better served by another approach. Why not fetch all the files you need to one cluster member, then copy all those files to the other cluster members, rather than copying each file as you fetch it? The advantage of this approach is that you could easily do that stuff outside of CF, using more efficient tools.

Yes, except that for the sake of accuracy, this would be a virtual server, not a virtual directory. And port 85 would have to be opened in the router, too? Yes.

Re: Flash Remoting remains as elusive as ever
Mike, A useful first tutorial to Flash Remoting is Ben Forta's article in CFDJ titled, Data Entry Reformed: http://www.sys-con.com/coldfusion/article.cfm?id=528 For something a little more advanced our CFUG had Craig Boyles, one of the developers at MetaSurge, show us how to create a basic add-edit-delete example using Flash remoting. http://www.coldfusion.org/downloads/MMCFUG_FlashWebService.zip It's still not easy or intuitive for a CF'er to use Flash but it is do-able.

For example .. I went to EasyCFM tonight to follow a beginners Flash Remoting tutorial, having decided that I ought to put in whatever effort was required to get my mind around it. My heart sank when the first instruction related to the flash end of it went awry. From the File menu, choose New from Template, and go down to web it says. Nope. Not on my FlashMX2004Professional. No such menu item. I knew immediately that this was a tutorial written for another version of Flash, and yet again nothing on my flash version would correlate with the tutorial. And so it went on - The first thing we do is include the necessary links to external Actionscript files that enable Flash Remoting. but no clue given about including .. WHERE? This has been teh case with all the tutorials I've tried to follow in the past, and the three books I have, bear little relationship to the version I have - a fully registered FlashMX2004Professional. Does anyone know of a beginners tutorial related to THIS version of flash? There are so many differences between one version and another - nothing seems to be in the same place twice when I look. I've learned from experience that you can enter stuff into flash but unless you have previously clicked the right frame and the right layer within the frame, nothing works. So for a tutorial to be any use to beginners, it has to give that information too. Simply saying include the necessary links is quite useless to a beginner (well this beginner anyway). I once tried to get help through the flash lists, but they did the same thing. They tried their hardest to be helpful, but because they all know what to do, they forget to include the most basic information that isnt obvious to people like me who havent even got the simplest most elementary flash things to work. Is it a vain hope that there is a really basic beginners tutorial for flashMX2004Professional 7.2? Is it too much to ask that tutorial writers and book authors state what versions of things they're writing with? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Hi all, A client I had quite some time ago asked me to password protect his site - a request made after the site was already complete.

I wonder if any of you would like to try to view this page - try to get past the password challenge without knowing the legitimate passwords. If you can do it I'd like to know how you did it.

I got my copy for free thru my local cfug, I just have to write a book report on it and send to publisher. communitymx.com has a few articles on it as well. I'd suggest the one i help Paul Newman do Case Study: Using the New Flash Remoting Classes the result can be seen here http://www.jamwerx.com/authors/authors.html pretty simple app, took me about 45 mintutes to do, then i gave it to paul and he switched the remoting classes to the newer version 2 ones. It's fairly simple, make a cfc that gets the cmx authors and populates a listbox and on click shows their info in a seperate clip and has an email systen via remoting and a cfc as well.

Timeout Expired....
Hi, Periodically, my web app logs are showing timeout expired errors when connecting to my sql server. The timeout expired errors seem to correspond to one error which states that the SQL server can't be found. This only happens for about one second, twice per day (sometimes more often), and other concurrent requests do not seem to time out. This is a new error that just started appearing about a week ago. I've spent the past week attempting to diagnose the problem. What I have done thus far: - My sql server performed an average of 40 queries per second. I reduced this to about 18 by optimizing and removing some duplicate queries and other things that weren't written optimally. - Did a dbreindex for the entire db, removed old records which were no longer used. Created some new indexes, which seemed to improve performance somewhat (average CPU is now about 6% during peak hours). Statistics are updated nightly. - Upgraded my network card to a gigabit card, connected through a new gigabit switch. At one point, I assumed this must be a networking issue, but I believe I've ruled this out. Neither server shows any logs of any network disconnects at any time. - Changed the schedule of my backups, as this seemed to be related, however, it doesn't correspond to the errors at this point. - Checked for long running queries. Corrected one, which was running an average of 3 to 5 seconds, reduced it to a max of 500ms, average of 63ms. This is still the longest running query on the server, but there's really nothing that can be done to reduce the response time at this point (other than maybe upgrading the server maybe). - I/O seems normal. CPU never peaks above 50%, and is usually averaging 6%. DB server has 1gig of ram, DB is 1.5gigs, but paging statistics don't seem to be anything significant. The errors happen during peak times, but seem more frequent during non-peak hours, generally between 11pm and 1am. There is nothing scheduled during this time frame. I have maintain database connection set to yes. All of the queries that are timing out use with (nolock), so they shouldn't be deadlocking. Typically these queries average between 0ms and 16ms, rarely longer. None of the timed out queries are updates, only nolock reads. I've covered everything that I can think of... is there anything else that I should be looking at? I almost suspect that the connection between the servers is dropping, though there is no reason for this, and nothing that would indicate this is the case that I can find...

Re: Virtual Directories for Websites...follow-up remarks
yes, but in IIS these are called sites. So, for example you have the Default site on port 80 which points http://your.com/ to d:\inetpub\wwwroot\. You can create a new site called say foo listening on port 99 pointing http://your.com:99/ to d:\inetpub\fooroot\ And one step further you can have a different instance of Jrun/CFMX for each of these. :) Doug On Fri, 18 Feb 2005 12:27:21 -0500, Rick Faircloth [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: So, when referencing the virtual server, I'd just use a URL like http://66.79.46.138:85/Index.cfm because it would take the visitor directly inside the root directory? Am I understanding that correctly? And I guess the key difference is in the properties for the virtual directory, where instead of port 80, port 85 would be specified for the site? And port 85 would have to be opened in the router, too? Rick -Original Message- From: Dave Watts [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, February 18, 2005 12:26 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: Virtual Directories for Websites...follow-up remarks So, using ports like that would mean there would be no root directory for the websites? i.e., the port would act as the root for the site? I'm not sure I understand the actual directory structure for http://66.79.46.138:85/Index.cfm... No, you would still need to have separate virtual hosts for each site, and each virtual host would typically have its own root directory. Using different ports just lets you use the same IP address or DNS name to connect to different virtual servers.

RE: SOT - Ecommerce
I'm new to ecommerce and have helped my customer set it up. We are using the authorizeNet processing. Is there someway to know all the fees associated with ecommerce business? We currently get invoiced by: Millenium Bank Services, AuthorizeNet and Concord Payment Systems. This is a bit confusing. Could someone that is knowledgeable in this area assist me? Why do you have to deal with so many companies to do online ecommerce? You need several components to process a transaction online. They can come from several companies or from just one. The first thing you need is a gateway. That's where Authorize.Net comes in. They interface with the banking system. They deposit the money in what's commonly referred to as an Internet merchant account. Internet merchant accounts are accounts that are used for card-not-present transactions. That includes any transaction you would place over the Internet or by calling, faxing or mailing the credit card number. Internet Merchant Accounts usually take a fee per transaction. This is on top of the fee that the credit card company is taking. Finally, you need a regular old bank account like a business checking account. Usually, the one you have with your local bank will be enough. This is where the money ends up. They, of course, charge their own set of fees. These vary quite a bit from bank to bank and depending on the type of account you have. Just did a quick search and found this page. It looks like it covers this in a bit more detail: http://www.tamingthebeast.net/articles2/back-end-ecommerce.htm Ben Rogers http://www.c4.net v.508.240.0051 f.508.240.0057 ~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.

Re: SOT - Ecommerce
Bryan or anyone else have any recommendations of a good company to handle all this with minimal cost? I want to do some comparisons. We selected Millenium only because of referral and I really don't know if we are getting a deal (avg fees) or getting taken for a ride?

I'm new to ecommerce and have helped my customer set it up. We are using the authorizeNet processing. Is there someway to know all the fees associated with ecommerce business? We currently get invoiced by: Millenium Bank Services, AuthorizeNet and Concord Payment Systems. This is a bit confusing. Could someone that is knowledgeable in this area assist me? Why do you have to deal with so many companies to do online ecommerce? The bank takes some (usually a per Tx fee)the cardcompanies take some (usually a percentage of the Tx)...the card processing company takes some (can be flat fee or percentage of Tx). It does get fancier than that (like first x Txs cost x per Tx...then after that..less per Tx). So there ya go...all companies involved in the Tx get a piece of the action...and remember...if you buy something in the storethe store gets charged (by the cc company) a percentage of the Tx for the use of the card, and a fee to deposit the money (these are transparent to the customer). Online the only extra fee is the cc card processing company.

CFGRID always allows column sort
Has anyone gotten sort=no to work in a flash CFGRID ? I can do this: onchange=MyGrid.sortableColumns=false; This stops sort AFTER they select a row but not before.

Re: SOT - Ecommerce
Hey Chris, I'm in Canadaand any Canadian customers we do work for use Canadian processors (and there are some significant differnces between the Canadian and US banking system and features available for online card processing). It's also usually our clinets that find the best deal after we educate them on what's involved. So I won't be much help to you on that front. I can say that I did have a horrible experience with Authorize.Net and as a result will never use/recommend them (but many others on this list and elsewhere have had far better experiences than I).
