  1. Re:VHDL, Verilog and "those other languages" on Anyone Using JHDL for Programmable Logic? · · Score: 1

    I don't think 'obtuse' applies to VHDL for the single reason that there are not many ways to do a single thing. Unlike perl where there are almost an infinite ways to get results, VHDL forces you to code for a specific hardware. I've had to learn this the hard way, along with accepting the fact that *simpler* VHDL code produces better results.

  2. Re:Americans need to learn something on New Russian Site Carries Unlicensed Song Lyrics · · Score: 1

    I agree with this somewhat. The Russian people have lived the last 80 years drowned in waves of lies and corruption. When the Party's 'apparatchiks' couldn't be blamed, other non-worthy citizens would cheat off the naive and/or honest ones. Its not right that Americans (or any other country) take advantage of loosened laws to initiate barely-legal business - this hinders useless efforts thriving for honest, equitable business.

    To a certain extreme, these type of intrusions into foreign economic activities often lead to unexpected conclusions; some where the US 'Trueman Doctrine' is suddenly recalled (think Gulf War).

  3. Tried 'mutt -y' on Mutt Hits 1.0 · · Score: 1

    Try out 'mutt -y'

    I use it so that mutt starts with the mailboxes listed in the 'mailbox' command (from .muttrc). Every folder is tagged 'N' if there is new mail and you can also put remote imap folders in this same command.

    For instance, instead of having fetchmail download all my mail from work, I can consult what has come in during the week-end and fix it the coming monday (well, I guess that's what IMAP aims to be ;)
