Unfortunately though, you can't turn this off. There have been times when our users' directories get messed up because they forget to update and end up getting conflicts, and they can't "rename" or "copy" the real file they want to check in using eclipse, because it does svn stuff underneath (i.e. svn copy or svn rename). They have to go out to the filesystem to take care of that stuff, but they don't really understand that they can't do this in eclipse (they think, hey, it's my ide, why can't i do everything in here!); eclipse makes it too transparent that it's doing svn stuff underneath.
I've found that the only really working regex library is jregex. All the others just have too many bugs (even the builtin jdk1.4 one). In most of them split can't handle empty fields.
And those manipulations you do are just another form of parsing. There's really no difference in writing a grammar that parses data and manipulates it and using SAX or DOM to manipulate some XML data. In either case, you still have to know the semantics to do anything useful. Using SAX is a big pain in the neck to interpret/manipulate the data hierarchy. Using DOM wastes alot of memory making a tree out of your whole dataset.
However, it's ten million times easier for the end user of your data to create that data using a language made for that data, in which case, they only have to learn the mini language, as opposed to forcing them to use XML syntax on top of your data format, in which case they have to worry about XML syntax and learn your data format as well.
I'm really getting sick of all the anti-microsoft crap here.
I've been a serious Linux user (as well as other unices) since the early days (I remember when the networking code was still young and buggy). I have a few web servers and usually write my web based apps on Linux.
But I use Win98 for my desktop because I don't want to dick around with all of the half baked (fifty-million 0.x versions of things that usually suck) open source/gpl desktop apps/software out there. While there is some good open source stuff out there, alot of it is still not production quality and isn't easy to use.
Bias gets you nowhere. The most important thing is using the right tool for the right job. You can't expect a non-profit organization (or anyone else for that matter) to have the tech know how (or the time) to figure out most open source/gpl apps (or the Linux OS for that matter). Also, who's going to support their systems? There are alot more NT admins out there than Linux ones right now.
I personally would rather see someone pay for a microsoft app and be able to use it productively than to have to spend time and more time dicking around with a non-production quality piece of freeware.
How do we know that when we throw todays AOL cd into the bin, we aren't destorying something that future generations would love to have?
Most of us modern day monks really wish AOL would press their software onto CD-RWs or CD-Rs with space left so we can rewrite over them with more useful stuff. An uncanny parallel to our brethren of long ago...

Last time I checked though, eclipse didn't like symlinks with svn on a mac. It totally hangs when doing anything with a project that has one.

no, the H2S would just put it in hibernate mode (and your mouse too)...

you mean there's such a thing as a good lawyer??!?

Talk about double stupidity!
Is that where those thin styrofoam like crackers come from!? I was wondering how they made them!
