Yes, you're right of course! But like I said earlier I'm just (stupidly) paranoid of side effects. Using grep instead of cat to do this is more helpful though since you can find out what files the old function is in, and it's easy to recurse down the entire directory structure. So in other words the more I think about it the more right you are. Damn;)
Well this is not strictly true, suppose you've just changed the name of a function (to pick something I did today) and you want to make sure you changed all the files that referenced it.
cat *php | grep old_function_name
also I like to use cat because I can be (more) sure that no side-effects will occur and clobber the file in some way (yes I know that this won't happen with most functions, but: once bitten, twice shy).
I can't resist runnable.sigs.
I have a feeling that some day I'm going to accidently run someones sig as root, and it's probably going to end up sed'ing awk'ing and then rm -rf 'ing
the processor usage of this will be? Given that using a 56k winmodem can take a noticable amount of processor time, what will is it likely to take up in these high-bandwidth devices?
Personally I haven't had any bad experiences with winmodems, I've only had one (Lucent chip) and it seems to do a fair job in my linux gateway for browsing, but forget games!

What I meant was that you don't have to manually obtain the key. You can set it up just using the key written on the booklet like previous windows versions.
going to result in the guy getting more and more spam? So he replies so spam ensuring that he gets placed back onto spam lists, which means he gets more spam, more replies more spam lists...
Mabye I should forward him some of my spam, although I wonder if he speaks Korean, shit I don't but those koreans are persistant little bastards!
Oh well you gotta love the replies though, "My father died of a horrible kidney disease" becomes "welcome to darwinism in progess" lol.
Yes you are almost definitly right! Also with the cost of some MP boards you could almost write the durons out of the equation, don'tknowwhat came over me.
I said Pentium II not III. In this case the 'fiasco' I was refering to was nothing to do with dual boards. I was referring to Intel creating such a good chip (Cel-A) at a low price which essentially cut their throat on the high-end version which was the Pentium II. People didn't see the point in buying Pentium IIs when they could get a similar performance celeron at the same price. Now if AMD hadn't disabled the MP ability on XP processors they could have a similar situation, i.e. a lot of people using XP instead of MP.
that they would have this capability, although disabled. I mean they just cripple the chip so that they can get more cash out of the MP versions, smart move unless you wan't another fiasco like the celeron/pentium II.
The bottom line is that only a few hobbiests and nerds are going to go to this length to get it working, certainly not many businesses are going to accept this. So AMD makes it difficult enough so that you can't do it at the flick of a switch, but you can with a little guts (and silver paint). Seems like a win/win situation to me.
Also don't forget it may be easier just to use a couple of Durons to accomplish this task, dirt cheap too:)
I agree that factoring a timestamp into the key is a good idea from an anti-piracy stand point, however what I don't understand is why they let people upgrade the odes they KNOW are pirated.
If a code has been previously updated they should not allow the automatic process to update it again surely this is obvious? So in the majority of cases people will have to remember the latest code they recieve and all will be well. In the case where they genuinly forgot OR some pirate has already used that code then they need to make a phone call. Generally people that actually bought the software will think this is a hassle, but then again it should only be a few of them and it's their fault for losing the code. I'm betting the mojority of pirates won't be making phonecalls to get codes.
You would be crazy to think we won't be able to have this in 8 years. You can already get cell phones with GPS capability - couple that with a pocket PC and you're most of the way there technologically. Price-wise, well, I guess 8 years should be long enough to beat the price down.
I never have any problem when I'm using opera 5 with mod points - even with huge amounts of comments. OTOH Opera does seem to have a problem with sites which use mod_auth type logins but that's another story...
OK mabye I'm stupid (perhaps thats a foregone conclusion since I can't fire a rubber band) but can you explain a bit more? Like what part of the C am I supposed tohand it loosely off...
Well actually I think I got it but sometimes it hits my right thumb
well I hop around an awful lot of machines at linux, solaris, tru64, sunos, openVMS just to name a few. Although the majority of work is done in sonos these days I can be (almost) garanteed these will have vi, but not all have vim. And even if vim is available for the platform that doesn't mean it will ever be installed. Vi is consistant accross all the platforms, if I fall into using vim then I'm fucked for days:( so these days I use either vi or emacs, emacs doesn't seem to ruin my vi skills.
Well that certainly was a very in-depth article, at least it didn't leave me wondering if the powerpoint presentations had bullet points or not.
The prospect of a new and better C&C frightens me, I remember how addicted I was to C&C and RA. The addiction was only partially staved of by a little bit of StarCraft and Total Annihilation. I'd just come to terms with the fact I was probably going to lose 6 months of my life from Warcraft III they tell me there's another C&C coming along. Well I suppose the only hope for me is that it'll follow in the footsteps of Tiberian Sun.
Actually the dialog *HAS* changed but the plot is basically the same. Then again IIRC Park-Wars the south-park/SW parody did have exactly the same dialog. Personally I like the site the sad thing is I have a feeling in a few minutes it'll be slashdotted into oblivion.
OK that has to be the most rediculous argument I've heard today: "if you want text that looks nice, get yourself a 150dpi or higher monitor". Ummm why? I'm using opera in windows XP at the moment and guess what the text looks great, if I reboot into linux and into non aliased fonts in Konqueror half the text I see will look like crap.
You don't always have to throw hardware at a problem to solve it, that's MCSE thinking!
is the country that spams me the most. Usually get between 1 and 10 per day from there, half of them porn. I mean spam is bad enough but Korean porn? Give me a break please!
Probably along the line of china, the admins probably don't speak english or else couldn't give a shit to stop the spammers because I just keep getting it.
so that hitting "deguass" would cause the monitors of all the computers in the lab or whatever else is in a 40-foot radius to be degaussed at once, Matrix EMP-blast style
Well I suppose you could create some massive degausser, and it would work as long as you don't mind destroying your hard drives at the same time. Mabye you could try coupling a "bulk eraser" with some massive power supply...

Actually the flash movies in howstuffworks are quite good for ther kids. I especially liked the WWII nuclear bombs.
Click to explode Little Boy
Click to explode Fat Man
Seriously thou, flash has uses, it's just too overused in most places.

Don't forget sed and awk!!! the cat, grep, sed, awk combo can do anything! Well quite a lot anyway.

Sure bash keeps track of your last command. but how would you feel if it sent this info to linus?
what if your last command was
echo "start saving swolb" | sed s/rt/og/ | sed s/aving/unil/ | rev | awk '{print($2" "$1" "$3)}'
Or just install professional and forget about the feature. And whats wrong with blocking the MS subnet including ports 80/81?
