an unusual use for R
I thought some of you might be amused by this.
In my non-work time, I'm an avid weaver and teacher of weaving. I'm
working on a project involving creating many detailed weaving
patterns, so I wrote R code to automate it.
Details here:

No thanks for breaking third-party applications
Hi *,
I was just debugging why TFTP booting did not work any more
on a system that had pxelinux.0 was updated.
?Since version 5.00, support for 16-bit COMBOOT modules has been
dropped, and c32 modules switched from the COM32 object format to ELF.?
Ugh. Well, updating the *.c32 files was enough to make the
Linux discless thingy work again. BUT!

[LLVMdev] Circular dependencies
Reid added some nice inter-library dependency data to utils/llvm-
config/LibDeps.txt.
There are three sets of circular dependencies between LLVM libraries.
If you use any library from one of these sets, you may need to pull
in the rest:
LLVMCodeGen.o LLVMSelectionDAG.o libLLVMAnalysis.a libLLVMTarget.a
libLLVMTransformUtils.a libLLVMipa.a
LLVMSparcV9.o LLVMSparcV9InstrSched.o

Time just moved backwards
This wins the 2007 award for strangest (or most amusing) log message:
dovecot: Time just moved backwards by 13 seconds. This might cause a lot of
problems, so I'll just kill myself now.
It does, unfortunately, leave dovecot dead, which was pretty mysterious to
me. Maybe it could re-exec instead?

Speex on windows, audio cutting out ("bug" discussion and fixes)
Hi everyone!
Our company is writing some voice chat software using Speex, and I am
in charge of writing the Windows-only portion of the code. I've just
finished tracking down a very nasty little bug in our program, and, I
saw similar symptoms of the bug in one or two posts in the list
archives, so I thought I would make a new post in case anyone runs
across this again.

[LLVMdev] Circular dependencies
Hi Eric,
Its definitely amusing :)
About the only thing I can suggest are:
1. Combine LLVMSparc*.o into one LLVMSparc.a. That work is already
happening with the new Sparc backend that is being developed. Should be
out in 1.7 (Chris?)
2. Combine the JIT/Interpreter/ExecutionEngine into one .a

I am amused because this kind of request comes up time and
time again with respect the package management system
