  1. Re:address mangling sucks on New Google Groups in Beta · · Score: 1

    For each email they get like yours, they probably get 1000 emails asking removal of their email address from their site and blaming google for the spam they receive. (which is of course not true)

    Remember that paper (I forget who wrote it) about the huge market advantage web programming in Lisp gave his company?

    that is one great idea! Of course it should be an optional feature that you can disable or enable.

    How do I make a window always-on-top in gnome2? I have been running enlightenment for 4 years, now I moved to gnome 2(suse 8.1, using metacity) and this is the something I am really really missing.

    Sorry if I went off-topic.

    You say you have used linux and wrote some apps yet you claim that X-Window can crash the whole system?

    Well, it can. I have recently installed SuSE 8.1 at home. I am actually quite happy with it, though GNOME crashes sometimes when I try to run a movie. It just freezes so badly, I cannot even alt+cnt+f4 and killall mplayer.

    At work, I am using SuSE 6.4 and E for the last 2 years, I never had restart the system because of an application crash.

    Is linux starting to look too much like windows?

  8. Two words: Emergecy Exit on Visiting the World, as a Geek? · · Score: 2, Informative
    How did it happen? I'm not really sure. One minute we were swimming in stock options, slurping up Starbucks, and hauling our increasingly yuppified butts into work each day--the next we were reeling from the market collapse, shaking our heads, and feeling strangely relieved. As phone calls from newly laid-off friends flooded through the wires and co-workers started dropping like flies around our ears, we made one of the most deliciously irresponsible decisions of our adult lives: we decided to travel the world.

    Stupid? Maybe. Ill-timed? Probably. Cut us a little slack-- we had wanderlust on the brain. The dot-com disaster gave us the kick we needed to shed the albatross of responsibility hanging from our necks and hit the road.

    As far as I'm concerned, if you're going to be irresponsible, you might as well go all out. Why have a young-life crisis quietly when you can have one loudly? Why not broadcast it to the world and convince others to follow in your footsteps? Because the truth is, once we started looking into it, we realized that taking a traveling sabbatical wasn't as hard as we thought it'd be. And you didn't have to be as rich as we thought you did.

    The hardest thing about leaving for the unknown was deciding to leave. That, and figuring out what we needed to do, check, bring. We started thinking about creating a place where would-be bohemians could go for "The Big I's"-- information and inspiration. And that's how emergencyexit.net was born.

    Love this site!

    Because star can mean 0 to infinity. You are confusing "*" with "+". Plus would have meant 1 to infinity.

    @matches = $str =~ m:any/ah*/; # returns "ahhh", "ahh", "ah", "a"

    @matches = $str =~ m:any/ah+/; # returns "ahhh", "ahh", "ah"
