    Did you test it ?

    find / -name '*base*' -print0 will output all the bases in just one line. And xargs will not allow them to be owned.

    find / -name '*base*' | xargs -0 chown us
    works fine.

  4. Re:lesen Sie die Seite manpage on Flexiglow Illuminated Keyboard · · Score: 1

    Well, I don't know what flavor of unix you use, but we're talking about different programs.

    The find I am using is GNU find version 4.1.20 that comes with Debian Linux.

    It does not have a -X switch.

    And 'us' is an user.

    And the command you gave works the same way, except that it is less clear and compatible.

    So don't come again to say that my find is wrong, ok ?

    The problem is not being open to the world.

    For starters, sendmail and wu-ftpd should have been banned from Earth a long time ago. They have more holes than swiss cheese. Telnetd should already have been deprecated by ssh, and should not be installed at all.

    - All car bumpers are extremely explosive

    - Regular people will get knocked out by a simple punch while a hero will only get mildly scratched after running away from 10 terrorists with machine guns

    - Time is relative. You can jump into an airplane or helicopter in free and still be able to not only reach the controls, but also turn it on and recover it

    - The most l33t hackers crack other computers using nice and friendly GUIs. So getting into a file really looks like entering a building.

  15. Re:Looks like... bragging on Brain's Cache Memory Found · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's nothing...

    I can visualise the entire bits sequence of the resulting object whilst coding... I 'see' how the processor pointers will behave, even when programming in a high-level language like obfuscated Perl.

    I can draw perfect circles by mentally calculating pi with a precision of 150 digits.

    I can mentally render complex fractals, from the basic Mandelbrot set to a more complex Newton's Method in the Complex Plane.

    And, yes, I can do crypto backwards. Triple-DES is very easy to do mentally. Doing it backwards is just a tiny bit harder.

    Companies like

    Amazon,

    CollabNet(a company that would not exist if they didn't have access to engineers from India),

    Dell (wich didn't get a good level of support for their users), and many others.

    Don't forget that the word of the day is globalization. More and more companies are needing to make international calls.

    The largest economy of money VoIP can provide is in international calls. Some countries can have ridiculous fees, like $5/min.

    VoIP leaves the company free to have some parts - like customer assistance - in another part of the world. That can mean lower costs.

  22. This question on Distributed Filesystem for Disconnected Operation? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    is very good, and I was thinking of something like that for my mailservers. That way, I'd have 2 different machines in 2 locations, and [maildir] boxes in both. When message arrive in one, any one, it is copied to the other. When erased, same thing.

    Both servers running at the same MX. So users could choose the server 1 or server 2 according to the location. And witch among them, in case one network goes down.

    Although it sounds simple, I don't know any simple solution to that. Rsync won't work, as there wouldn't not be a master server. Both would have the same preference, so no server depends on the other. That's the goal.
