NO!!!!!!! Seriously, don't pick Perl as a first language. If you have absolutely no idea what you are doing, Perl is going to mess up your thinking about writing code. You can shoot yourself in so many ways. It is far too easy to write code that is not doing what you think it is doing.
That has been slammed with a crapflood for months (new post every few minutes). It is obviously defeating the capthca. Nothing gets modded down there so whatever list of proxies that person is using is not getting banned. Whoever it is, is most likely collecting good open proxies and will probably launch a massive crapflood on mainpage stories with the "I'M AN OPEN PROXY BAN ME" message. Just wait.
Lighten up there, sizzlechest. GP is not targeted at you, but rather bitter old Doc Ruby who never fails to bash the Bush administration in any given discussion, whether it is relevant or not.
Basically, don't look for exotic causes to your problem. i.e. if your code doesn't do what you think it should be doing, thinking that there must be a problem with gcc (or whatever compiler you use.)
Christ, who gives their email address to the bank? None of my banks or credit cards have my email. How can your bank email you if they don't have your email address?
Would it be possible to jam it? You can bring a laptop on a plane and use it. With enough smarts, couldn't you come up with something that could jam the signal?
Only if you add a bunch of features. I have a land line for a security alarm system. Local incoming free, local outgoing $0.02/minute. No voice mail, call waiting, caller id, long distance, etc. $12/month.
These new 4th generation RFIDS (or 4GRFIDs as known in the industry) broadcast at a strength 64.2W (1.9 amps/hz) Though it not might seem like much, the signal is detectable by a dime sized reader at over 3000 yards and does not require line of sight. This reader can be easily assembled by about $13 dollars worth of parts (diodes,wires,etc) from RadioShack. There are instructions on the internet that are so simple, a child capable of drawing crude stick figures of his mommy and daddy with crayons could assemble one, link it to an offshore bank account and be draining bank accounts in less than thirty minutes.
A summary of the answers: That's silly. Don't. Why? Leave it to the pros. Quit your job. Seriously. Overkill for your situation. Are you kidding me? It's hard because it's hard.
...ask yourself, "Do I really need this?" If you don't, don't pack it. Dump what is worthless and give the rest to the salvation army. The tax write-off will probably equal the cash you could get for selling everything less all the hassle.
My wife and I did this when we bought a house even though we were more than tripling our space. We got rid of a lot of stuff. We still periodically go through most or all of our possesions looking for useless or redundant crap to get rid of. It's refreshing.
Don't misread me though, I'm not a minimalist. I still have loads of stuff, just not loads and loads and loads of junk I'll never use. Except for computers. And 1 gigabyte hard drives.
Heh, fat chance with that guy. I usually append a bind type serial number (2005091501) to the end of a copy. If you just use.bak you can accidently write a bad copy over a good one. Even worse is finding things like:

If you must though:At all times.
(I'm not ant-Perl either, I use it every day.)
Slashdot's captcha is horribly weak. Look in trolltalk:

And special characters wouldn't be?
LOL I'm so funny. Hehe, I should have use a $ sign for the ^%$^$$^$[NO CARRIER}

What did the comp. sci. major say to the liberal art major?
$100 for a null?

Stop hunting for zebras. There aren't any.

mysqlhotcopy is a perl script that basically just locks all tables and makes copies of them using cp. I assume the new hotcopy will be built in.
I have this in my .bashrc:
alias d1='sudo du --max-depth=1'
That way, as my non root admin user, I can quikly see the disk space usage no matter where I am.

That's freaky. Those pictures...they are going to haunt me dreams tonight.
This is Slashdot. Here, if all As are Bs and all Bs are Cs, then logically, all As are purple monkey dishwashers.

This will be very convenient at the 0.0001% of retailers who have a reader for the RFID.
No Ask Slashdot gets lots of "how do i do my job posts" for example from yesterday:6 16221&threshold=-1&tid=215&tid=4
How do I implent EDIS?

That's silly.
Don't.
Why?
Leave it to the pros.
Quit your job. Seriously.
Overkill for your situation.
Are you kidding me?
It's hard because it's hard.
That's nicer than firing them.
But will it be Canada deep?

Emacs is the only IDE you need.
It's also the only thing you'll need to play tetris.
[user@localhost]$emacs -f tetris
None. (except a desk lamp just bright enough to read by)
1. Get rid of IT department
2. Let company infrastructure rot
3. Rehire IT department
Sounds like a management decision to me.
Would have been nice had he done one of these first:
/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf /etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf.bak
.bak you can accidently write a bad copy over a good one. Even worse is finding things like:
mv
Heh, fat chance with that guy. I usually append a bind type serial number (2005091501) to the end of a copy. If you just use
httpd.orig.bak3 or
httpd.conf.this.one.works2.bak
in the conf directory.
