It is when you have a purpose of doing something.
Rake lets you script certain tasks on a per-project basis, much as a Makefile allows a Unix developer to script their compile and build process. The defined tasks you've used Rake with so far were included with the packages they came with (e. G rake db:migrate comes with Rails, or at least with ActiveRecord) and automate certain tasks related to those packages (e.g. Installing required gems for a Rails project) If your project has certain tasks which are performed repeatedly, you can write a rake task to run those tasks which gets included in the SCM tree for the project and runs in the context of that project; in Rails they're in lib/tasks You could write a Rake task to purge stale session records from your database, for example, and then set up a cron job to run it.

I know Rake stands for Ruby Make, and I know Make is a unix build utility. Now, I come from working in Xcode building iPhone apps to Ruby, so I have never used Make before, and the only time I use rake is when in rails or installing some third party package and I type a command like rake db:migrate. The things I don't understand are ... What exactly is a build utility?
What is the purpose of rake? What does it let me do? So if anyone can help answer any of these questions for me, it would be much appreciated.
A. The PSS specification defines a multimedia streaming service within 3G wireless networks, and so enables the application scenarios mentioned above, as well as others. An important point is that PSS standardizes the communication used in the service.
This makes it possible for vendors to design equipment that will interoperate (i.e. Communicate properly with equipment from other vendors). For example, one company could provide a streaming server, and another company could provide the client solution.
While the PSS specification is defined to enable interoperable implementations, the specification itself cannot guarantee interoperability. Implementations from different companies must be tested together to ensure that the implementations are correct, and that companies have a consistent interpretation of the specification. Testing is also needed to identify and correct parts of the specification which are unclear or inconsistent.

Prayer places us in submission to God and reminds us of who we are in our relationship to Him. And prayer fulfills 4 purposes: First, through prayer we worship God and communicate with Him. Second, through prayer we repent to God for our sins.
Third, through prayer we thank God for all He has done for us, from His saving us to His answering our prayers. And fourth, through prayer we seek answers from Him to our new prayers.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
