Have you compiled MySQL with GCC under
Solaris for x86?
When I did (on many different boxes)
the configure script
thought that my g++ was a cross-compiler
(while it wasn't),
but gcc was OK.
After many hours of searching the web
and usenet, with no results at all,
I thought about something like this:
for the time of building MySQL
I renamed g++ and made
a symlink to gcc named g++ and MySQL was fine.
I don't remember how I thought about it but
my workaround saved the day.:)
Anyway, I wonder, do you know
what's going on?
I'm not using Solaris now,
but I'm still curious. Thanks.
Microsoft sets new standard in MS English XP
"ecosystem - n : a system formed by the interaction of one organism with its physical
environment"
Actually the term ecosystem
was not used incorrectly:
ecosystemn.
An ecological community together with its environment, functioning as a
unit.;
parasiten. 1. Biology. An organism that grows, feeds, and is sheltered on or in a different
organism while contributing nothing to the survival of its host.
2. One who habitually takes advantage of the generosity of others without
making any useful return.
(from The American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language, 4th Ed.)

if your universities are doing work that can be
commercialized, you will have IT jobs in your country. And if
they are not, then fine, just say that farming is your thing, or
whatever it is. All the taxes will be paid by those guys or something -- I don't know.
Taxes? What taxes?
Those which would be otherwise
paid by Microsoft?
ZDnet is reporting he is proposing a bill for 'net
privacy' requiring opt-in agreements when companies want to
sell 'sensitive' information (medical history, sexual preference,
etc.) and opt-out agreements when selling non-sensitive
(buying habits).
"But Sir, we haven't sold any
sensitive informations about
your sexual preference!
We have just sold everyone the non-sensitive
informations about your
buying habits of our
coprophilia gay porn.
And now you claim that the non-sensitive
informations could possibly harm your
career as a TV pastor?
How ridiculous!
And as I have already told you,
your buying habits of our
penis enlargement techniques is not a
medical history
since these are only natural
and herbal techniques,
you can't sue us, Sir."
Day 1:/News/microsoft.php points to a great article about microsoft.
Days 2-6: People read it and link to it.
Day 7:/News/microsoft.php redirects everyone They'll soon stop linking
I would not be happy if some other site linked right to the old material, because they
might not put it in context, and lead people into thinking it is current.
Then maybe you should use
mod_rewrite with a simple rule:
and put there a simple old-warn script
displaying "This stuff is old.
What do you want?
[New] [Old] [Index] [Home] [Whatever]".
Or why not include this warning on the old pages
in the first place?
Or why not to just put "Last modified XXXX-XX-XX,
if there's a newer version, it's here."
on every page which can be outdated
in the future?
Linking is just telling people about your URI.
If you don't want them to know about it,
don't make it public,
you don't have to serve anything
if you don't want to.
If you want those people to see something
before they get what they are looking for,
I don't know what's stopping you.
The beauty of computers, including web servers,
is that they do what you tell them to do.
Erection, release woody...
I sometimes wonder if Debian shouldn't be
called Devian instead.
But seriously,
Debian is my OS of choice,
I run it on all of my boxes and
I can always depand on Debian.
Hell, my Potatoes was up for years without a
single crash!
Soon Woody will power my
mission critical boxes.
(note to self:
do not say "my potatoes was up for years" again)
The best treatment for sleepiness is SLEEPING!!! If you are engaging in an activity
that is depriving you of sleep, STOP!!! There is a reason you get sleepy. Your body and
mind needs to rest and recharge and sleepiness is the signal to do so.
This is a Microsoft attitude.
Like one Microsoft support guy once said:
"Memory is like gasoline - you use it up, then your computer has to fill up the tank again by restarting."
This is mostly the same reasoning which
you use in your pro-sleep argument,
but I think that when you need sleep after so
short uptime like 18 hours or so, then
it means you have some serious problems with
your mind getting unstable very quickly.
Remember, rebooting is not an answer.
Real hackers fix their systems and don't
have to reset them any more.
Please, stop listening
to that Microsoft anti-GPL FUD
propaganda, for God's sake!
That's entirely missing the point. It's as if asked "I wish perl had a unified database
handling module", somebody had answered: "well, you've got the oracle module, the
sybase module and the mysql module. They don't have the same API, but they all allow
you to connect to the database you're using.".
You haven't checked out Wx.
It's a Perl module for using
wxWindows:
What is wxWindows?
wxWindows gives you a single, easy-to-use API for writing GUI applications on
multiple platforms. Link with the appropriate library for your platform
(Windows/Unix/Mac, others coming shortly) and compiler (almost any popular C++
compiler), and your application will adopt the look and feel appropriate to that
platform. On top of great GUI functionality, wxWindows gives you: online help,
network programming, streams, clipboard and drag and drop, multithreading, image
loading and saving in a variety of popular formats, database support, HTML viewing
and printing, and much much more.
Now, if someone wanted to write a real abstraction layer, maybe one that would let you
use either Perl/Tk, Perl/GTK+, or something else... that coule be interesting:-)
It's actually (almost) compiled each run, instead of being raw interpreted. In the camel
book it describes it in detail, but briefly it parses it to bytecode, optimizes it, then
executes it (any evals will re-do the process mid program, ect).
Read my old comment to
Subterfuge with Subterfugue story:
Re:Perl in the Linux kernel?
There's some info about other parts of the
operating system written in Perl:
Perl/bin tools, Perl shell and even Perl kernel.
I couldn't find a working link to Perl filesystem
(PerlFS by Claudio Calvelli?),
so if anyone knows it, please post it.
Yeah but, unless you hire an 'expensive expert' you can't write off the investment in
apache. Thats the problem with free software.
This is how I talk to my clients:
- You see?
You will save 500 bucks because we're
using free-as-in-beer software!
Of course it is very, very difficult
and normal people wouldn't even
understand all the magical things which
need to be done in order to set it up,
but fortunately I'm a super hacker guru
so this is your lucky day.
My rates are only 300 bucks per hour,
and this is not much for super hackers,
so you'll pay much less than you'd
pay for a more expensive super hacker
for, say, 400 bucks per hour,
so you already saved 200 bucks while we speak
and you're gonna save another
50 grands in my rates netto...
- Wait a minute!
But I can have a sixpack of MCSE's
for $9.95 per hour!
- Too late!
You signed the contract! SUCKER!!!
As you might expect, kids like sound
and animation more than adults. They're also much more
likely to click on ads... but mostly because they don't realize
that's what they are.
I was worried that I have so low
adclick-per-visitor ratio on my websites lately,
but now I see that I just have to slightly
modify my main welcome pages to:
"If you are below 18
years old, click ENTER, otherwise click EXIT."
Because I have lots of
high quality animations there!
Kids will love it!
In order for this to work, each time you give a site an "F", you should be contractually
bound so that if it turns out that the site is legit, then you are the one that gets in
trouble: you would have to pay a fine.
Then, in order to give people a motive for using this plug-in, the company should pay
bounty money to the vigilante via a Paypal type system.

OK, now must sleep...

No, no, no. They'll start linking!
Then maybe you should use mod_rewrite with a simple rule:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://your.host/ [NC] /cgi-bin/old-warn?page=$1 [R]
