RPvs> The wiki (and Microsoft) is very vocal that you shouldn't use the RPvs> '.local' TLD Not to start a flame war - but Microsoft is the *source* of using .local in Active directory domains - from past practices. And, even now, they are somewhat equivocal in saying it shouldn't be used. [No source given, but it's something I've looked at in the last year and there are places they say "DON'T" and other where it's *far* less emphatic, almost permissive.] I'm not going to take a personal stance - other than to say tha...

...metimes posted. If the question is well-asked and of interest to someone on the list, it may elicit an informative up-to-date answer. See also the Usenet groups sci.stat.consult (applied statistics and consulting) and sci.stat.math (mathematical stat and probability)." The language here is so equivocal! OK, it is really for R, but statistical questions are asked and you might get an "informative and up-to-date answer" if you do it well. Sounds good to me! I might start using r-help for my statistical questions. Thanks for referring me to the posting guide Uwe (though I am not sure w...

Well, the mystery is solved. It WAS Avahi, in a way... Eventhough it was disabled as a daemon, it still haunted the system by the means of nsswitch.conf In the 'hosts' line, the Debian default entry 'mdns4_minimal [NOTFOUND=return]' does exactly what we don't want - for .local domains it asks Avahi and if it dosen't know, it never asks the other services, such as dns etc.

...metic overflow of addition, subtraction and multiplication wraps around using twos-complement representation. This flag enables some optimizations and disables others. This option is enabled by default for the Java front end, as required by the Java language specification. Sounds like -fwrapv has equivocal results, at least for gcc, my guess is that the same applies to llvm, If anyone can show that -fwrapv makes a significant drop in SPEC-INT performance on a plain old 32-bit machine then we need to look into it because it is kind of hard to believe and doesn’t sound consistent with gcc. I would d...

I can''t think of a good reason, other than it''s legacy code which hasn''t gotten around to being changed to RoR. http://rubyonrails.org/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://37signals.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://basecamphq.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42 http://backpackit.com/?=PHPE9568F36-D428-11d2-A769-00AA001ACF42

Chandler, where we disagree is in whether the current project is moving the issue forward. It is not. It is making the compiler more complex for no additional value. The current project is not based in evidence, I have asked for any SPEC benchmark that shows performance gain by the compiler taking advantage of “undefined behavior” and no one can show that. The current project

Hi Everyone, This is off-topic, so please feel free to disregard it, but I'm sending it to this list in the hope that it will reach a largish number of users. I am currently looking at updating some of our advocacy material (which advertises exciting new features like SMP support), and before I do I'd like to get a better feel for why the rest of you are using FreeBSD. If you had to
