By understanding the approaches to regular expression processing, we can learn to help ourselves.
Which is why i would reccomend Assembly Language Step By Step, by Jeff Duntman for any programmer. It's easy to learn, and is merely a preparation for Assembly, but would be great for all programmers, if only to know the difference between CS and DS, near calls and far calls, and the like.
The only thing i don't understnad about regular expressions, is why they have to be so cryptic. Wouldn't it be easier to debug if the patterns were a little more clear?
And here I thought people were starting to worry more about their on-line privacy because the Repubican controlled government can't tell a terrorist from a hole in the wall...
Republicans do a better job. Or rather, they do the job instead of just talking about it, and bombing aspirin factories. Unfortunately, the Democrats, used to nothing being done, are suprised to see the government working. So suprised in fact, that they make ad-hominem attacks against the president and others, and scream that every step forward is really three steps backwards. If Bush wasn't elected, we'd still be "negotiating" with the Taliban. Just look at Carter's history of telling Iran not to be afraid. Democrats mean well, but they believe "no pain, even if it means no gain."
Even then I bet if I said "clear history" I would find crumbs to follow.
First try it, then come back
IE leaves crumbs (typed URLs, history, cokies, recent), Netscape left crumbs (history.dat), Mozilla doesn't. If it did, i'd sure be suprised. At least after turning off history and remebering URLs.
Actually, i find that Mozilla makes this *extremely* easy. Choose which form data to save. Choose which cookies to accept, and even then, to accept it just for the session, or forever.
That the author didn't look at using another browser, is reason enough to discredit his opinion.
I also had to re-enter a login name and password when I returned to sites requiring registration, like The Wall Street Journal Online. On Amazon.com, I couldn't immediately see book recommendations based on past purchases _ something I enjoy
So use Mozilla/Firefox to prefill the forms.
A prosecutor with a search warrant, or even the other side in a civil case, can get access to your computer and try to retrace your steps.
Not if you erase history.

Arnie didn't use the word "passionate," and he said something that was, indeed, offensive to me and others:
The article did indeed use the word "passionate", while it provided context for the remarks:
In the March conversation between the governor and his chief of staff, Schwarzenegger said blacks and Latinos were "hot" blooded, meaning they were passionate.
Being a 'baby-maker' is (usually) a function of being a female.
No. Females can have babies, whereas males cannot. However, referring to the person by a function of their biology, and inferring thatyis their purpose, is to degrade their humanity.
Being good at basketball is surely not a function of being black is it?
A) I was using the example by the parent. (Sorry for not quoting, i realized it afterwards.) B) Being good at basketball is a function of being athletically gifted. The basis for the supposed comment would be because on average, blacks are more athletically gifted.
There are millions of black people who are useless at basketball
For the purpose of the example statement, i think average was inferred.
and, for instance, a hell of a lot of good basketball players in eastern europe. Is this because eastern europeans are keenly athletic?
That is a bogus attempt at showing correlation is not a reason. The athleticism of a specific group of people which can be tied to a genetic cause is enough to give the correlation some standing as a reason. Geographical location, though it could be a cause, is less likely to be so, and so, is not comparable.

I wonder if they'll build censoring rules right into the OS.
It'd be the only safe way to have accurate news, that protects the people.
OK, you have a point there. :)
But adblock should be excusable, because it has ads from everywhere.
Thanx for the link.
Quick, call Mulder!

How could you be against this? After all, it's for the children.
Sorry, i do not respond to profanity.
Heh, thanx for the fill-in. :)

That's why for extra encryption, you should rot-13 a second time. :)
Um, you use IE, don't you?
:)
1) Get a real browser.
2) Re-read my comment.
3) Re-read your comment.
4) Slap yourself upside the head.
5) Enjoy life with your new browser.
1) If the site is blocked, giving them the source won't help them much.
;-)
:)
But it will let them see what the article is talking about.
2) If they can't find a way to get around a block, they're not very good at what they do.
That much is true.
It's gibberish that happens to have meaning to a computer....you'd quote the relevant sections
A) The whole paghe is relevant
B) Any browser can show it
C) HTML code is not gibberish.
did you take the time to understand the page fully
No, silly. That's why i posted it here.:P
Heh.
:)
I actually had to look to make sure that it didn't mean anything.
So use Mozilla/Firefox to prefill the forms.

I bet the author votes Democrat.
Riddles are good at proving problem solving skills, but don't necessarily show prgramming or IT eptitude.
:)
Or the ability to spell "aptitude".
/me ducks and runs for cover.
And the point of posting that was... ?
A) For the people for whom the site was blocked.
B) Common area for critique.
C) In case the page goes down.
The question is, did you advance onto more complex analysis techniques
Yes. The "mistake" is a tag in the script. Add it after the published URL, and it goes to the next form.
Heh, cute. :)

Perhaps the original commentor disagrees with you.
But you are welcome to your opinion.
The article did indeed use the word "passionate", while it provided context for the remarks:

Did you even read my reply?
Please go away.
