  1. that's the first edition on Mastering Regular Expressions · · Score: 4, Informative

    Which isn't a big deal, I guess.

    Mastering Regular Expressions is now in its second edition. Mr. Friedl has posted a nice writeup about what's different in the second edition.

    I run FreeBSD servers for personal stuff, but I've had excellent results with Apple's XServe in business environments.

    Given that OS X can run pretty much anything Linux/*BSD can, why would you say it's worse for the sever room than Linux?

    Better in so many areas? Care to elaborate, or am I just supposed to tell my boss "well, it's better...but only in vague, hard to articulate ways"?

    The "new mac os" isn't a GUI for Unix. It may have BSD underpinnings, but that has fuckall to do with Unix, unless you happen to be posting from 1985.

    It's not just a kernel and a gui in a box, either. It's a system. Like FreeBSD, sort of. A collection of software more than just an OS.

    IE5/Mac Supports all of these, and it supports them well.

    All I was saying is that the parent poster should distinguish IE/Mac and IE/Win, since they are different products and they have wildly different levels of standards support.

    Pardon the typos, I'm extremely drunk.

    See, I'm offtopic for saying that maybe a product released by microsoft wasn't enirely evil. As we all know, this is wrong.

    IE5/Mac was, at the time of it's release, the most standards compliant browser in history.

    IE6/Win isn't doing so bad either, really. I've found that most of the XHTML/CSS2 sites I author work fine in IE6/Win.

    EV:Nova was tons of fun. It's cool that all the plugins will work with the Windows version.

    Looks like you guys are also getting pop-pop. It's a really simple game, but it's a hell of a lot of fun to play with friends.

    Ambrosia Software has been doing this on the Mac for ages. Their games are always fun, reasonably priced shareware.

    I've bought more than a handful of their titles, and have had more fun with them than most commercial releases provide.

    From what I've read and experienced, the performance hit only involves writes. Reads are unaffected.

    Writes are about 10% less efficient, which a pretty good tradeoff for that peace of mind.

    Firstly, I have never voted republican.

    Secondly, the fact that I voted for the right party and lost is little consolation when I'm getting little "Private and Confidential" third notices in the mail.

    Of course I'm voting to better my situation. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like I speak with the masses. It's apparent that this country is largely comprised of SUV-driving home-owning smiley happy fuckers that are all to content to live off my misery.

    Either that, or people in my class aren't voting.

    Either way: fuck!

    In the last year my department has been whittled down from eight employees to me and another guy. It sucks ass, but I've got to pay the bills.
