Thanks, good answer. Even trickier would be a regex to deal with the arbitrary internal uppercase character. This problem comes up pretty often in generated binding code. I suspect that when we get away from specific strings for substitution, the problem ceases to be context-free. But I really do have a lot of situations where I want to do replacements like the one your regex solves. I didn't know how escaped anglebrackets worked, despite being a vim user since probably 1993.
A fair amount of the information presented in the application's UI depends on metadata that is not necessarily represented in the filesystem.
Since most of my "media library" is my own creation (I'm a songwriter/composer/musician), I have a naming convention that identifies my work from the directory and filename. iTunes basically strips this info, making it pretty useless for me. Basically, *everything I do* ends up in iTunes' "Unknown Artist, Unknown Album" category, even though the directory and original filename carry everything I want to know about the recording. It tends to be pretty frustrating.
I've been trying to figure out how to do this forever:
Say I have an identifier throughout my code where it's both siteCode and SiteCode depending on context.
Say I want to change all occurrences of siteCode to siteIdentifier and SiteCode to SiteIdentifier, in a single search/replace. I may be missing something obvious, and this might be a simple DFA (and therefore regex), but I've never found it, and quite often find myself doing substitutions twice.
I think you missed the point. It's one thing that the breeders have their children watching movies in the relative privacy of their own vehicles. What you should be afraid of, is that you will be subjected to all this in places you thought were safe.
They don't cost as much to make, as most people assume. If your archival data are really this valuable to need century-long assurances (or even if they aren't), production CDs and DVDs are a cost-effective solution. The people upthread who are saying "$99/Terabyte is cheap" should consider commercial DVD "pressing". Okay, so it will cost you a couple thousand bucks for a "small" run, but a few hundred or a thousand DVDs or so, stored all over the world, should be a pretty safe bet.
We pay $0.38 per unit for DVDs, the jewel box and the repro on the label and box cover cost a whole lot more. If I had data worth more than a few thousand dollars in liability, I would definitely consider "pressed" DVDs as a solution. I've seen companies make DVDs just for internal propaganda, so why not use the same tech for archiving?
I have boxes of TRS-80 diskettes, Model I 40 track disks, from as far back as 1978, that have been stored in the most careless manner in very nasty conditions (were even, literally, in a barn for a few years) and they can all still be read. It's unfortunate that none of the information on them is important, which superstition tells me may have something to do with their success rate. Yesterday I burned an Ubuntu 8.10 CD onto a store-brand CDR, and it failed in the second machine I used it in. To be fair, it has a radial scratch that got on it somewhere, and, I burn these things intending to throw them away:-)
A grand piano is a big piece of furniture. Modest housing usually has room, in my experience, for a TV and the line-of-sight for the TV, but rarely has enough room for a piano. Solution is obvious. It may be an "odd rationale" for someone who isn't a musician. My day job is in engineering, but my career is a professional musician, so it's a primary consideration.
If that opinion is from your attorney, with the implication that Microsoft doesn't guarantee themselves total indemnity in their license to you, I strongly urge you to get another opinion, unless the false sense of security is what you're after.
>All I want is something I can subscribe to that will "ring" when the election gets called.
December 20, I believe, is the date that the Electoral College convenes in the Senate.
All we have until then, amounts to "reasonable assurances" that we know how the EC will vote in the Election.
Winning the at-large election today will certainly be cause for celebration for the supporters of the candidate who wins, but this is still no guarantee that today's winner will be elected, only that electors who are pledged to that candidate will meet in the Senate on Election Day in December.
If they told you the transaction was under terms other than those provided by the publisher, then yes, you can allege that they committed fraud. Good luck with that.
All Rights Reserved in the copyright notice means the company owns it, and the license terms bean the gamers never purchased it - it was never for sale, only licensed.
I would like to be falsely (or rightly?) accused of downloading my own copyrighted works, ones for which I am the sole author, and that I reserve all rights.
I would like even more, for a media corporation to sue someone on the grounds that they represent my rights, even though I have reserved all rights and have not licensed that corporation.
For me, either of these situations would be easily converted into a comfortable retirement.
>Is it necessary to inform potential employers that you're bipolar?
There is no way to find out, even. HIPAA makes it a confidential matter. And if the employer's insurance company discloses medical information without your consent to anybody, you've got a federal case where people stand to lose their license to practice medicine.
Unless you disclose the issue, or waive your rights, there's no disclosure.

As I wander around San Francisco, I see people living in some pretty squalid housing. I think to myself, "that's a 2 million dollar property? How? And how does that guy manage it?"
I get the impression that there might be affordable housing in San Francisco, though not the really desirable kind of housing that goes for $1000 per square foot.
I could be wrong, but then, the market still bears ridiculous pricing. It means you either need equity in the market, or it means that enough people have enough income to saturate the housing market.
I love the Bay Area, but there are only a few parts that I think I want to live in. I'm amused by the real estate in San Fran because I know of a time when some of the 10 million dollar victorians were considered "ghetto" and were difficult to sell at any price.
There are people who move to the Bay Area as an end in itself. I would move there if I could consider it a benefit of having a job or a business that earned enough that the expense of living there was not my most significant concern. On the other hand, I think my resumé allows me to say things like that to recruiters:-)
Meanwhile, I'll settle for an Irish Coffee at the Buena Vista and a Tikka Masala at India Curry House, and then leave the City for my relatively low cost of living home. The Bay Area doesn't want me so badly that it's willing to make it look cheap, so why in the hell would I move there? If the best I could do was $75K, I'm pretty sure I'd make a priority of getting out of there.
At least in the US, kids are encouraged to anthropomorphize cars from the earliest stages of cognition.
Now, I had the ultimate "angry" car. A 1959 Chevy Impala. The back of the car looked like an animal face with chrome and steel whiskers and evil looking eyes:-) The front had four-foot long chrome harpoons that ran along the front fenders. The hubcaps when in motion, had an effect of spinning chrome abbatoir blades complete with red and black paint. This car was a real can opener and no matter what you drive, it was a *can* by comparison.
I parted with that car when I couldn't afford $1.80/gal gasoline in a 1950s car, but I have different standards now for what I think looks "mean and angry" in a car.
Here is some advice for those who are getting cut off and tailgated: Drive a car that looks like a complete piece of crap. Make sure it looks like there is no possible way you have insurance or brakes. Nobody who actually cares about their vehicle will get anywhere near you. "Rusty old truck" effect is fun.

>don't you ever get some rest ??
No.
More importantly, I don't have a TV. When I did have one, it wasn't in my bedroom.
As a musician (pianist), I learned two things a long time ago:
1. TV sucks time. I *need* that time to split between my two careers and various hobbies.
2. TV takes up space. I have never had a home with enough room for both a TV and a grand piano.

You don't have to. So why are you complaining?

I would like even more, for a media corporation to sue someone on the grounds that they represent my rights, even though I have reserved all rights and have not licensed that corporation.

"[Aren't] there some real questions of merit over whether this amendment was fully or correctly (according to the law) ratified properly?"
Sure there are questions. The answers are "no, the Amendment is valid and stands."
> It went to people with jobs, like you and me...
Well, at my job we do calculus on the whiteboard, but I've learned that's not very common.

>Would you rather replace your brakes or your clutch?
Rather change pads than discs, rather change clutch than discs.
Depends on the car though. On some cars, disc R&R is so complicated you should do struts and CV joints at the same time, labor dominating parts.
>Did you know about Ayers?
I knew about Ayers when he was pallin' around with Nancy Reagan, before the Reaganite Annenberg gave him $50 million. That was in the early 90s.
I laughed a lot when his name came up, because I already know he had as many Republican connections as Democrat.
