I read this list often, and although I'm not smart enough to contribute, I learn a lot every day. But I read a post from this morning that contained this: >a fair amount of jiggery-pokery Just wondering...is this a technical term? Where is it documented? I won't offer any insight into what vision it gave me. ;-) Thanks for all the work on the distribution and all the invaluable info posted here. -Ben

Aaaaaa, I'm pulling out my hair over here! I have an external USB drive which I had at work, connected just fine to my CentOS 5.3 box. I recall there was some jiggery-pokery involved, but do not recall just what. So now I'm on my wife's freshly installed CentOS 5.3 laptop trying to get it going, and I keep getting errors about FATAL: Module fuse not found. I saw this message from the May archives : http://lists.rpmforge.net/pipermail/users/2009-May/002345.h...

I just picked up Camping and I''m currently reviewing every little tidbit of information I can find out about it. I really liked the simplicity of RubyOnRails, but sometimes you want something fast and everything is relative. After looking at Camping, RubyOnRails seems like a lot of work if you just want to test out a prototype of a small web app. One thing I do miss are all the

...replacement for the POTS-style shared line, I have implemented a "barge in" feature; any internal extension is able to join the call of any other internal extension by dialing the extension number followed by *. Behind the scenes, I'm using ChannelRedirect and some additional jiggery pokery to pull everyone into a ConfBridge conference. In the vast majority of cases, I'll end up with 2 internal extensions bridged to an external call. But when the 2 internal extensions hang up, there's nothing to prevent the external party from accidentally staying connected to the bridge, ty...

Why does Ruby-1.9.2-p0 require an additional ../ for relative paths when compared to the same code for ruby1.8? if RUBY_VERSION < ''1.9'' require File.dirname(__FILE__) + library else require_relative File.dirname(__FILE__) + ''/..'' + library end -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Core"

Hi, I have a class to add users to all the host servers. We are in the process to have a coexisting user which belongs in NIS & as well as /etc/passwd. We have NIS clients (yp running) on all host servers. So when running puppet is fails to add or modify user, bcos the user already exists in NIS. Eg: A user pcruise is an existing NIS user. When using useradd or

...e then configured a single ZFS pool on top of this, using two raid-z arrays. We are getting some OK numbers this way, but it seems a waste of the resources on the 3510 if we are handing everything back to the OS to handle, although I recall reading somewhere that letting ZFS handle all this jiggery-pokery was the best way to do things. I guess our question is, being new to ZFS in general and looking to optimise the kind of numbers we are getting out in terms of performance, as well as configuring a setup that will survive a disk failure, is this a sensible way of configuring a 3510 for maximum thro...

I''d like to see if we can use DTrace to as the kernel implementation of the BSD systrace security policy system (http://www.systrace.org). I don''t really want to port systrace to Solaris because I think with DTrace we already have all the necessary in kernel hooks to do this. With systrace you express things like: "httpd can bind to port 80 but not any other port, it

...ould >come up with a better fix than me. > Surely this is the wrong way around. When you copy a file you _create a new file_. When you move a file you just move its inode and all its access/modified/create time gets moved with it. Of course over a different fs or even network you do some pokery to set the times to the times that they show on the original file. Testing Samba 2.2.0 shows it is however doing what _you_ think it should - which is IMHO wrong - at least it is not how a normal copy is performed or how win2000 behaves taliking to another win2000 machine. For instance, Oring...
