I remember them way back when in opera 6. I used mozilla, but it crashed a lot and was slow, and someone suggested opera. I'm glad they did, cuz tabs are neat-o.
I still use opera most of the time, mostly because I don't like firefox's tabs unless I install a bunch of extensions. Even then, it still doesn't feel right.
Also, there is no such thing as 'software engineering'. Calling something engineering doesn't make it so. Professionaly, the word 'engineer' has a precise legal definition, and calling yourself one when you are not is illegal.
In Texas at least it is quite legal, as determined by the Texas Board of Professional Engineers. It may be legal in other states....I don't know, I just googled it real quickly. In addition, the US Dept. of Labor says there is such a thing as a Computer Software Engineer. In addition, some universities are starting to offer Software Engineering majors.
A friend of mine did that. He has a lot of linux distro install discs now, but he also did find a linux distro he likes (Ubuntu).
Me, I got away with FreeBSD. I suppose I liked it well enough from the start and that was the end of it.
Although...he has needed help from me. Even with my FreeBSD background I've been able to help with his Linux stuff. The biggest differences I've noticed between distros are the layout of/etc (particularly how init.d/rc.d does things like networking) and the packaging system.
I see they added a fallback "plain HTML" mode for nonsupported browsers. Still, those tags they rave about aren't seeing much usefulness if I can't base other actions like whitelisting off of them.
While we're talking about gmail...the fallback "plain HTML" thing annoys me. I use opera 8 beta which understands the javascript gmail has (earlier versions of opera didn't). Suddenly I don't get the neat-o features that would normally work (the only problem I've noticed is that opera doesn't size the sidebar correctly).
But then again, I suppose it's good that they finally allow non-javascript capable browsers to work now.
Although...most of the time this doesn't even matter. I use the POP3 access they provide.
He (and dozens others, of course) implemented a free version of it.
It's not even his implementation originally. OpenSSH is a fork of the original ssh.com code before it went closed source. I do imagine many parts of it have been rewritten though.
An interesting point. I think the BSD daemon should stay the mascot, and definately continue to have a place on the freebsd.org website. Another logo I could stand, but I don't want the daemon to go away like it pretty much appeared to do for NetBSD.
Optimization is one reason. If you turn optimization off, gcc's memory usage is a lot more reasonable. I had gcc consume so much memory optimizing once that I had to turn optimizing off or all (swap and real) memory would get used up and gcc would abort. This was an pretty old machine and pre-gcc 3.x.
No, they aren't. They're stripped by the tokeniser. There are a number of neat tricks in GotW which rely on this distinction.
You can't rely on that distinction. AFAIK, no standard says where the comments get lost. With gcc, they will get stripped out by the preprocessor. I ran cpp, gcc's preprocessor, to find this out for sure, although it's entirely possible that the actual compiler portion may understand to strip them out as well.
I think what you want is RAID-1 (mirroring), even if you have to do it in software.
Otherwise, unless you plan on only doing this while in single user mode or while that disk is unmounted, you play a risk stuff might happen while you're doing the copy over.
That, and on big drives it can take a wee bit longer than you probably want to wait. You really don't need to back up the free space that badly.
Well, you see, with a physical object like a car, minor variances in materials and manufacturing can lead to random defects showing up in any specific vehicle.
It is also possible for a certain defect to occur in every single car of that model.
You mention manufacturing flaws. In the case we have here it is a design flaw, which is just as applicable in cars as it is in software.
After all, the hurd has been around in a slightly working state for a while now. You just can't trust on it for reliability or performance or anything else...yet. But, it does run.
And on a more useful note, there are the BSDs (FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD, etc).
So, no, it's not like you would have had nothing to use or anything.:P
Good thing this article came up. I was just looking for this earlier today, and it's nearly impossible to google for and find if you don't know the name.
Ahh. I ran it in my shell and indeed, you are correct...any way to do it without destroying the string, however? Without just making a copy and operating on that?
Well...I've sorta done it. But the way I did it required constantly changing the regex. Something along the lines of using {} (for me to specify the length to skip) and $& (to get the length). Not that I suggest using this method, since it's supposed to be considerbly slower from using $&.
Of course, a true perl wizard could probably do it with a single one line non-destroying non-copying regex and it'd probably look something like $_=~%s++^&@#Cxxxx#5 sded/w433{33,4,5}sss/ x2.
I got the impression from the article that the alienware product was supposed to be demo'd at E3 too, but wasn't. Not showing a product at E3 does lend some vapor to the product.
However, it could just be 2 months late along the entire time line. This would make them miss their E3 appearance...and then later miss their release deadline.

Tabs came from opera too.

Are....you implying VB works?

Not only is the limit in general higher, but it's based on the "caller" IP instead of the developer account.
The trolls probably give out the most insults, and who knows whose side they are on. Probably their own.

Anyone looking for performance gets an Athlon64 server.
No, no, no. Anyone looking for performance gets an Opteron server.
The Athlon64 is more orientated towards the desktop portion, not server.

Great. We'll probably end up with some corporate-style logo that I'll totally hate.
I use opera you insensitive clod!

Other compilers may differ.
Just because it's a theory doesn't mean it can't be a "fact" too.
After all, not knowing about something doesn't mean it can't be a fact.
And remember, evolution is based on (factual) evidence.

There is subscription revenue too. 20/20 doesn't get that, but the New York Times does.

You wouldn't have been out of options.

Unfortunately, I'm not a true perl wizard.
It'll just end up matching the same statement over and over again. An infinite number of times.
If $_ contains any statements at all, you have an infinite loop on your hands.
You want something more like:
On second thought, the first link works, it just takes forever to load.
As in > 2 minutes.
You can't possibly expect me to wait that long!
Thanks for the completely useless link.
Let's try a link that works.

Or it could be vapor. I have no idea.
