This leaves me with 3 choices. 1. Add lines to my code that tries to guess if CRAN is invoker. A cat and mouse game per your desire above...

Interesting column at CNET... http://news.cnet.com/8301-13505_3-10376762-16.html ~~ "Novell has been positioning itself as the Avis of Linux, a distant but gaining Red Hat competitor that "tries harder." Like Oracle, Novell argues that it can give customers Red Hat value at a lower price. "There's just one problem with this marketing spin: the "low-cost

Hi everyone, I have a question concerning DNS SRV lookups. The situation is like this: - one central Asterisk server - many domains with SRV records, let's say we have bar.com and doe.com Now the question is: if the SRV lookup is done for foo@bar.com the call is mapped to foo@myasterisk.mydomain.net. Is that correct? If so, I have a problem: if somebody calls foo@bar.com, Asterisk

...ry more practical than ever. Because the West could not yet be conquered militarily, the Assyrian strategy of capturing and removing the native population, which demoralized the people and prevented organized resistance, was untenable. The tactic then became the importation of foreign elements ?to devalue our niches, fragment our communities and place us under foreign administration. The result is the same.?

As of patch 32953 dtrace support is in bleadperl (5.11.0). The probes are based on Alan Burlinson''s original blog post on the subject: http://blogs.sun.com/alanbur/date/20050909 By guarding the probes with PERL_SUB_*_ENABLED the performance hit is unmeasurable. All the necessary bits already existed in the wild. I just assembled them and made the necessary changes to

Does anyone have an idea of the rates being charged by Rails developers (or salaries for FTEs)? I''m curious to see whether rates will become comparable to those paid to more experienced Java/.NET developer types, or if rates will be lowered by the free/open source mentality, and the possible perception that Rails makes Web development "easy." Sometimes rates are more

G'day. I'm having a great time trying to get a whole heap of XP workstations (from what I understand, they've been hotfixed+windows updated+whatever else a few days ago) to authenticate against Samba running on a FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE box.
