Now I *know* they are out to get us. It is a conspiracy to make you buy new hardware. The *day* after I bought my first USB keyboard, this story comes out... Consider:
- AT to ATX (Legit upgrade, no consipracy there)
- Socket to Slot back to Socket (definitely a conspiracy)
- USB to Firewire (then back to USB after 2.0)
Grrr...
Must upgrade... Must upgrade...
Maybe I am just insane...
Also, on a related note, did anyone else notice the GREAT USB support of Linux? RH setup detects my Microsoft optical mouse during setup, and Windows ME doesn't... Now *that* is weird...
Despite your lack of tact in your obvious troll of a reply, Mr/Mrs/Miss Anonymous Coward, I will respond.
* fork() emulation has been improved in various ways, but still continues to be experimental. See the perlfork manpage for known bugs and caveats.
Again, when if M$ coming out with their "fork"? I am not talking about an experimental (buggy?)version.
Ah, it doesn't matter anyway. Call it a troll, but M$ is just going to redefine fork the way they redefine all the rest of the "standards" they implement.
You are correct that s/// is substitution, but I thought tr/// would be more appropriate, since I was thinking you would convert the Back To The Future car to the HoG, not make a substitution...
YSMV... (your semantics may vary) and horribly OT...
It is not only extremely useful in a CGI aspect (though, arguably not as efficient as some "out of the box" -- i.e. modperl), but it is also very useful for many other things. I use it quite a bit as a cross-platform scripting language. It is nice to take things written on my BSD box, and run them on my desktop with ActiveState Perl.
There are modules for everything, from processing PDF to controlling your X10 stuff.
It doesn't get any better than that, IMHO...
So, when is M$ coming out with "fork" for Windows? 8^)
...are my favorite changes. No matter what program I write in Perl, there are ALWAYS regular expressions. That seems to be the most common thread in all my stuff, IMO...
I, for one, would like to see more games for Mac on OS X. Things have been getting better, but it still isn't good enough for an addicted PC Gamer to switch over...
It seems to me that they are just trying to make it so difficult that nobody will be able to follow their "approved" procedures. I can't see the feasability of them being the only "authoritative" party to release "approved" recordings.
This has just proven further to me that all that will happen is people will stop using Napster and start using another one client/network until such time as it gathers too much attention and becomes a target.
Case in point: OLGA... (Online Guitar Archive) It moves when it attracts too much attention. Though I haven't found the new site yet... 8^( Time to visit google.
Unbelievable. How about fair use? I copy my CDs so I don't have to carry the originals in the car. I guess you can forget about that, as well as "best-of" cds...
How does it currently work with a country who doesn't have its "own" satellite? Are they rented out? What advantage is is to have your own GSO satellite?
Instead of "Who wants to be a millionaire", how about/. hosts "Who-wants-to-prove-they-never-stop-refreshing-the -slashdot-page-so-let's-try-to-get-the-first-post- and-yet-miss-it-barely,-and-annoy-those-folks-who- actually-have-something-useful-to-say-or-who-would -like-to-read-actual-content-instead-of-a-14-year- old-unloading-his-pimples-on-us"?
I mean, come ON... what is with the s-to-n ratio here lately?
On-Topic - I will have to remove the fake hosts file which maps all those ad servers to localhost now. 8^( sigh...
I would say that this has something to do with three-button emulation? (only having two mouse buttons makes you emulate the third by pressing both at the same time.) Try running XF86Setup and turning it off.

I like the versatility.

Memory leak fixes are always nice, too...
Jethro
That brings up an interesting point -- just how much of that is completely automated, and how much is manual? (attraction controls, etc.)
Fascinating... I guess that is one of those things you don't normally think about. (the number of folks involved, as well as the technology behind it)

Forgot to mention the Intel preference for this virus -- it doesn't infect Sun hardware... how about AMD?
Jethro
An article from Reuters about it:
Reuters
Central Command says it has developed a cure for the virus at its Web site (Avx.Com).
Jethro
Yep -- snagged it out of /usr/games/fortune -- I just had to use it. 8^)
Jethro
That was a joke -- hence the smiley...

From the article: I know that your IP address is 28.294.22.1, your ISP is Earthlink, and you logged in last at 2:26 a.m
Whew... Don't worry about their spies... they don't even know the addresses can't go above 255... 8^)
