Rocks protect sockets-based applications from network failures, particularly failures common to mobile computing, including:
* Link failures (e.g., unexpected modem disconnection);
* IP address changes (e.g., laptop movement, DHCP lease expiry);
* Extended periods of disconnection (e.g., laptop suspension).
Rock-enabled programs continue to run after any of these events; their broken connections recover automatically, without loss of in-flight data, when connectivity returns. Rocks work transparently with most applications, including SSH clients, X-windows applications, and network service daemons.
bah, slashcode breaks the title attribute in hrefs and co-opts it for it's own use, bad programming.
It is helpful to blind readers and page indexers esp. if the label text is something like 'click here' to provide some information on the content of the link. grr sometimes I gets so mads
then when the text was on screen click to the left of it type 'cp ' click to the right of it type '/tmp' sweep the desired complete command which is now 'cp/n/home/mp3/Some_file.mp3/tmp' and middle click, select 'send'

I will admit that the actual numbers are low but being excluded/ignored is how us non Windows users are treated day in day out. Seems you can't fight the pigopolists.

Your point? Do you think this is news to me?
> I am not being a dickhead, just stating that Plan9 is not a very likely OS to be connected to the internet.
Come off it, you were trying to be insulting and you know it.
If you wanted to say "the small number of installed machines running plan9 precludes it's likelihood of attack" then you should have said something like that.
How likely do you think a Netware machine is to be facing the internet? And yet Netware was included in the report.
A plan9 machine is *more* likely to be connected to the internet because of it's robust design and network rich environment.
The fact that cs.bell-labs.com runs plan9 makes it a very visible target, especially to people like you who take pleasure in denigrating something which you know nothing about.

Mac OS X is also pre-installed and may be accessed by holding the OPTION key at boot.
so, what's your point?
I was responding to "OS X is Free with every Mac".
I don't want Linux on *anything* so I'm safe.
Rob Pike works there now, perhaps he can get plan9 in the mix.
try saying "can I have that car without the steering wheel for a bit less money please"
I wonder if you can buy a Mac *without* an OS and out YellowDog on it ?
so not only will it be
Plan9; the most beautiful code in the most beautiful OS with the prettiest mascot.
the whole point, dullard, is that one uses the title information to elucidate what the 'click here' is.
i.e. for more information <a href="info.html" title="information on dullards">click here</a>
Though I wa sonly using that as an example. One should phrase one's content to suit the hypertext model.
We have plenty of <a href="info.html" title="dullard information">information on dullards</a>.
It is also useful where one uses an image
<a href="info.html" title="dullard information"><img src="dullard.gif" alt="a smiling dullard"></a>
in this way, one can combine a bit of eye candy while providing the required information should images be unavailable

This is an excellent user land TCP application that automatically re-connects to dropped TCP connections, even if the IP addresses change.

We're getting more and more users all the time tbh.
Even Linus pops by to the 9fans mailing list now and again.
Well that's exactly what I did.
Study the newspapers for the sentencing for certain activities and then see if not complying / activing out those activities is worthwhile.
For instance : tv licensing.
The average fine was 50-100 pounds (for 1st offense) whereas a licence is around 100 pounds.
For every year you get away without a fine it is profit.
Get 10 years free and you have saved the value of the maximum fine.
The economy expects me to act economically rationally but they seem to kick up a fuss when I do just that!
Yeah, I hope he looses it into my street.
Someone should invest it in to adult education.
lol, good comeback
it's about elegance
see man ls
-Q By default, printed file names are quoted if they contain characters special to rc(1). The -Q flag disables this behavior.
do you really consider that to be quick?
/n/home/mp3/Some_file.mp3
/n/home/mp3/Some_file.mp3 /tmp
/n/home/mp3
/tmp' sweep the desired complete command which is now 'cp /n/home/mp3/Some_file.mp3 /tmp' and middle click, select 'send'
in plan9 I would just do this
to play it
mpg123
to copy
cp
all this opening applications and dragging, jeesh
if I didn't know the filename I could do
ls
then when the text was on screen click to the left of it type 'cp ' click to the right of it type '
until you've used plan9, you don't know what usability is
> Someone complained about for mp3 in *mp3... find . -name '*mp3' -exec.... should do it.
that's an extra fork, what about symlinks (ugh) and it's dirty
you are dumb
so are you
#!/usr/local/bin/rc
for (mp3 in *.mp3) mpg123 $mp3
fails if the filename contains a space
ls -l *.mp3 | awk ' { print "%s is %d bytes\n", $9, $5 } '
fails if the filename contains a space
etc.
spaces in filenames should be illegal
If anyone was interested they should know the code is in C++
oh well.
http://cvs.musicbrainz.org/cvs/mb_tagger/
filenames with spaces?
that's the crappiest idea I've ever seen
get a clue and learn some shell programming
Besides, in which way does Flash exclude other operating systems?

Let's see
Mozilla on FreeBSD (that's me)
We are unable to locate a single Web player that best matches your platform and operating system
Mothra on plan9 (also me)

The acceptable list is

use java menus while you're at it
