Below is the server side software architecture
From the FAQ: This depends on the features and support provided by the virtual or shared hosting service provider. You will need to be able to install the software tools required for OpenGTS (Java, Ant, Tomcat, MySQL, etc). You should also have 'ssh' access to the server to be able to remotely administer the GTS database and tables, restart Tomcat when necessary, and monitor log files. Each virtual/shared hosting service provider is different, so you will need to check with the specific provider to see if they support the features you require. These are some of the questions you should ask:
If the answer to these questions is yes, then this hosting provider will likely be able to run OpenGTS.
Dreamhost Inquiry – Can I install TomCat on a VPS?
We don't provide support for 3rd party application such at Tomcat but you are certainly free to try installing it on the VPS yourself. If it turns out that root access is required for installation you'll need to set up and admin user on your VPS as that will allow you root level access. You can add an admin user from the following page: https://panel.dreamhost.com/index.cgi?tree=vserver.adminusers&
Richard Kuklinski killed remorsely but yet was a loving family man. I have often thought he was the inspiration for the character Tony Soprano. You will see in the video in some photos you would swear it was James Gandolfini.
Up Close and Personal with a Killer
When I was finally admitted into the bowels of Trenton State Prison in New Jersey’s capital to interview multiple murderer Richard Kuklinski, a.k.a. “the Iceman,” it wasn’t at all what I had expected. My assumption was that it would be like the movies. We’d be separated by a shatter-proof glass barrier. We’d communicate through telephone handsets. There would be guards all around watching our every move. But I couldn’t have been more wrong. Clarice Starling had more protection when she visited Dr. Hannibal “the Cannibal” Lector in The Silence of the Lambs. At least she had bars. And frankly, as a killer, Lector was downright crude compared to the stealth and skullduggery of the Iceman. Lector liked to bite; Kuklinski preferred a cyanide solution administered from a nasal spray bottle. A surprise spritz to the face usually produced a shocked inhalation from the victim, who as a result would die in under a minute. And unless the body was found right away and a savvy medical examiner knew what to look for, the poison would go undetected because cyanide naturally dissipates in the body after two hours. But cyanide was only one of the things I was thinking about on the morning of January 16, 1992, when I arrived for my date with the Iceman.
The ideas of Game Theory and John Nash and how the market works. Note the sanctimonious liberal over narration. The underlying theories as presented are quite obviously valid. They are validated by any objective view of how the world of people works in aggregate.
Get this tagline "Translating individuals through violence" That almost sounds nice! Egad. Liberalism wrapped up in only one sentence. Note: 3 videos in the series.
Liberal Content Warning: This video contains liberal ( aka erroneous) information. However it does include some useful historical narration of the development of certain popularly accepted concepts. Viewer discretion is advised.

This documentary is narrated from somewhat of an unrealistic leftist point of view. However it does a good job of describing events and the players in the said events.
It is a series of videos detailing how people of action responded to the decline of British society due to socialist political impulses. It also appears to be the first wave of globalization.
