similar to: Phone Numbers in Rails/MySQL

I''ve seen phone numbers handled many different ways. Is there a recommended Rails way to store, format and display phone numbers? I''d appreciate comments from the community on this. 1.

Currently i've enabled password complexity checks server side: root at vdcsv1:~# samba-tool domain passwordsettings show Password informations for domain 'DC=ad,DC=fvg,DC=lnf,DC=it' Password

Don''t know why, but cant seem to get this to work for me. I have a phone number field for an addressbook.

Hello, I have a vector of dates and I would like to grep the year component from this vector (= all digits after the last punctuation character) dates <- c("28.7.08","28.7.2008","28/7/08", "28/7/2008", "28/07/2008", "28-07-2008", "28-07-08") the resulting vector should look like "08" "2008"

Is it possible to tell rsync *not* to use file names, date stamps, etc and only use the checksum for deciding if a file is the same? the remote machine "normalizes" a set of file names to remove all punctuation marks and forces all file names to lower case. The files themselves are unchanged. --checksum looks promising but it does not say anything about file names: -c, --checksum

Sorry all for these two easy questions: First, I have a matrix with trhee columns: A= Name Eight Puntuation Pepe 1,85 10 Paco 1,7 7 Pablo 1,82 6 I want to scatter the two columns (I could use pairs or other functions...) but the only doubt is that I cannot find the way to add in the associated intersection (the point scattered) the label "Pepe" "Paco" and so

there is a blog about it http://www.realityforge.org/articles/2005/11/12/aaa_in_rails There are so many Authentication/Authorization/Auditing generators now, just like the situation in java''s world, Too many components doing the samething just make me confusion.

Hi everybody, Maybe I'm going to ask a bit weird question: I have an item collection, most of them are writting with latin letters, but some of them have chinese letters. There is a list page and numbers, punctuation and chinese letters go first. I would like to change this order policy in order to show first items that start with latin letters, and then numbers, punctuation and chinese
