The impression I've gotten is that some judges (the ones I've heard about have been left-leaning) are too sympathetic to the criminals, and say things like "Well, yes, he did *murder* someone, but he's just a big lovable puppy" (ok, I exaggerate:) ). This was the legislator's attempt to say "While we don't want to take things out of the hands of judges completely, there's a certain point where people should just be locked up".
Those of us with multiple GPUs (screen cards) and/or multiple input devices also have cause to rejoice. The multi-screen-card functionality has been mostly broken in recent versions of X, and if I understand correctly, this should be fixed in a recent version of X which I understood was supposed to be in F12. But I could be wrong.
You'll note that this is also the first version of Fedora to come with Perl 6:).
There are a number of aspects to setting this sort of thing up. Here's what I'd be looking at:
1. Personally I recommend the tool called "puppet", especially making heavy use of the "augeas" module. cfengine is a traditional tool for this too. You may also want to use the tool "cobbler" with this. These tools between them would deal with deployment of new machines, and are especially useful for similar machine, as your dev/test/production machines are likely to be.
2. Someone recommended using packaging; that would be my personal suggestion.
3. People have been arguing SVN vs. Git. Use only one of these:).
You'll notice that the breadth of argument has occurred because there are quite a number of areas in which various pieces of sysadmin software could be used, and you haven't been clear about what areas you need covered. I'd recommend a post that clarifies what you're already using in each of these areas.
XML. Why use it? Well, for me, the whole thing can be answered by the word "Tree" (well, "Plex" actaully, but that's less self-evident). Once data gets beyond single items ("scalars" in scripting languages), 1D arrays, and hashes, you're looking at containing your data in two major structures; multidimensional arrays, and trees (yes, I know you can do arrays of arrays, and hashes of hashes, but it's a way of representing the same thing).
Now, there are a variety of ways of selecting data out of a tree. The filesystem globbing language is a good example. LDAP's language is also good, if a bit more verbose. ACAP seems useful, but I've never gotten into it much. But to me, the queen of all the major path-selection languages is XPath. I don't like XML that much as a tree representation, but I can live with it, for the sake of having XPath.
Anyway, I hope this gives some insight into why at least one person who agrees with you in many ways is now willing to consider XML as a reasonable solution.
It sounds like many of the people here need Configuration Management and just don't know it yet. I don't know what the Windows tools are, but for Unix-based systems, you want to be searching for tools like cfengine and puppet. The basic idea is that the entire configuration for your network is stored in a central place, and distributed from there.
The nice thing about the tools I mentioned (I've only used cfengine, but puppet looks like it has better features, and I'm told it has this one too) is that they can be added on to existing systems, and different parts of the system can be moved into configuration management at different times.
These configuration files all allow comments, so you can do your documentation in a "literate programming" fashion.
Basically, what we need is something like XML + stylesheets that are *standards-compliant*. It's the non-standards-compliant (*cough*IE*cough*) that create these problems. Of course, we also need forms that are styled by the stylesheets (I know some elements are easy, but some aren't).
Here's a semi-automatic way of doing it: 1. Put all your alias commands in a text file on your Windows machine 2. After you log in to a machine, paste the text in at the prompt
Sure it's a pain, but it works. You could even put in something like:
cat >>.bash_profile echo No Aliases Required alias 'l=ls -a' ...
Then paste that in and press Ctrl+D. That way, it will put in the aliases each time you log in to that machine. If you don't see the message that says "No Aliases Required", then you know you need to paste them in.

Yeah, it's called being an auditory-type person. NLP (neuro-linguistic programming) talks a lot about whether people are visual, auditory, or kinaesthetic people. Apparently it's possible to learn how to visualise things. I read about it once somewhere.

I'm waiting for the day when touchscreens are big and affordable. I want a big (4 feet square or so) LCD screen with a touchscreen mounted on an angle like the "desks" that draughtsmen used to draw on (before CAD). And I want have it strong enough so I can rest my elbows on it, and have it only respond to it when I touch it with my fingers. That's still a long way away, though. And I want it mounted on something adjustable, so I can use it at any angle I feel like.:)
If we "shouldn't help them", there's a lot of people in social security (people who avoid work), healthcare (lifestyle diseases, alcohol, smoking, drug problems), public sector (social security by any other name) and so I'd stop helping first.
Agreed, except the "First" part. Just because they're wasting money doing other things doesn't mean that they should waste more:).
This is probably too late, but you code Perl like a Ruby programmer:).
@a = qw( ant bee cat dog elk ); print @a;
print '*' x 5;
print "a".."e";
print grep {/Perl/} <>;
The only output difference I can see between my code and your code is that in mine, you might also need to do either of the following at the start to get the exact same results:
$, = "\n";
or
use English;
$OUTPUT_FIELD_SEPARATOR = "\n";
As for the hash subkey length stuff, I agree; I believe this will be improved in Perl 6:).
:). Time to modify my general rule. "Don't" is pretty obvious. "Can't" can presumably be allowed for under one "n" absorbing another (these things happen:) ). In this case, it appears to be a contraction of a contraction; presumably the first contraction was pre-apostrophe. See:
1. Considering this is Australia, not very old. 18-something I believe. But no doubt they were basing it on what they'd seen in the British Isles
2. Actually, that's Early Modern English. Old English is from the beginning of recorded English (I forget when this was, but I think maybe 400AD) and the time of William the Conqueror (1066). Middle English is from the time English resurfaced after the Norman invasion until around the time of the advent of the printing press (first commercial printing company was Caxton in the 1480s). Chaucer is classed as (late) Middle English. Shakespeare is classed as (early) Modern. Tolkien (yes, the famous one) was professor of Old English (aka Anglo-Saxon), and incorporated it into the Lord of the Rings as the language spoken by the Rohirrim.
In fact, in most situations "it is" is very formal.
It is not:). It depends on a lot of things, but normally, if someone says "it is", they are putting the emphasis on the "is", not on the "it" (or in my example, the "is not", rather than the "it").
