  1. Re:I would like to say Happy Birthday on Happy Birthday Perl! · · Score: 1

    No, I mean @foo = ('a', 'b') and $foo = 2. All variables in perl are stored as typeglobs which are represtented internally to perl as hashes.
    So the variable foo has %foo, @foo, $foo, a filehandle named foo, and a subroutine &foo, and the typeglob *foo.

    Uhmmm... Python. Which has a better organized standard library than Perl and fewer bizarre language intricacies. ($foo, %foo, and
    @foo are 3 different variables with the same identifier)


    Actually, they point to the same variable, just to a different peice of it. That's why @foo=('a','b') and $foo = 2;

  3. Re:Registry lockdown? on Can Developers Work in a 'Locked-Down' Environment? · · Score: 1

    POSIX ACL's are fine grained and supported on most modern unix operating systems.

    I guess this shows us your ignorance :)

  4. Re:Give it a rest!! on A Strategic Comparison of Windows Vs. Unix · · Score: 1

    The idea of everything related to system and software configuration being stored in slow to parse text, in multiple formats is Unix. Having a single registry, stored without wasting space, is revolutionary. Hardy fuckin har. IBM's unix variant has had it's odm (akin to the registry) before MS anyway (and I should note, it sucks equally). Windows problems can usually be fixed by commonly available utilities, requiring little skill So what you're saying is that people with no skills should become windows admins ?

  5. Re:current kids TV on The Space Child's Mother Goose · · Score: 1

    Seseme Street is still on, though I find it quite a bit more lame than it was when I was a kid. And they brought back Zoom about 3 years ago. Electric Company is still dead, and that kinda sucks. I loved that show. You forogt 3-2-1 Contact, I wish my kids could see that show too.

  6. Re:keystroke blackbox on FBI Files Brief on Scarfo Keylogger · · Score: 1

    Actually, I don't think they had a choice, since the shell has no access to what you type after it has forked. Unless you type it on the command line, in which case it would show up in .bash-history
