<0> Fearing if it isn't too much of derision
<0> His answer: "Thanks Yakov, that was the explanation I wanted."
<0> LOL
<0> mauke: i mean, this works in vim same way as in perl, right ?
<1> perl doesn't have \< but otherwise yes
<0> bu perl has some equivalent
<0> is it \b \B ?
<0> yes, in perl, it's \b and \B
<1> so to a perl programmer, vim's \< is just like \b except it has to be followed by a word char :-)
<2> How do you get into safe mode under XP?
<2> I tried rebooting and pressing F8
<3> another way is to alt+ctrl+del it about five times in a row
<3> while it's in the mddle of booting
<3> for some reason, it used to take me to the prompt
<4> automountd on AIX is such a piece of ****
<4> I do'nt know how they sell this crap
<5> so aix testers fet to pay for the priviledge as winndows testers do
<4> aix testers?
<4> laff!
<4> heh
<4> nobody tests IBM software
<4> that's why it ****s
<6> probably why they're investing so much money in linux :P
<0> mauke: what ? \< has to be followed by the word char, too
<7> From accidentally reading AIX man pages instead of Linux ones one day, their kernel seems to be... lacking in functionalities
<6> i think it had features they made it very good at a few relatively narrow but important tasks
<6> basically, throwing lots of computing power are various things
<7> Possibly, but I'm unsure that's still true today
<6> but in terms of flexability, i always hear people having problems adapting new things to aix
<6> aix is always one of those platforms that has the least support or weirdest issues for any particular software package
<4> I thought the HP/UX automounter was bad... but this one on AIX takes the cake
<6> in terms of lacking features, thats true of the parts ive been exposed to.. primative compiler and linker support. not weak symbols, for eg.
<4> Horrible
<4> I finally got it working but had to hack it to make it work
<6> im absolutely ecstatic about never having had to use an automounter. :)
<4> I'm using a NIS client to get automount maps
<4> it's a painm
<4> pain
<7> Eh well, there's a good reason they are moving to Linux
<4> yeah
<6> i wonder if linux supports their weird hardware as well though
<4> yeah
<4> it's just ppc
<6> s390? :P
<7> Writing drivers would be easier than fixing than fixing their OS
<4> I had FC5 installed on this box just a few weeks ago
<7> minus "than fixing"
<6> people are always lamenting over OS warp.. but i personally am not so sure.
<6> OS2
<4> AaronWL: nah.. Power Series
<4> IBM pSeries 615 - 7029-6C3 - 4Way
<4> POS
<4> 4 2ghz Risc Processors 16Gb ram
<4> we have some 16 way boxes too... they take lime 1 hour to POST.
<4> *like
<6> hehe i hope that is a gross exaduration :P
<6> my personal opinion is that anything that takes longer than one second in a digital system is taking way too long
<4> AaronWL: I agree
<4> sweet
<4> all 10 of our huge *** files are showing up in the NIS automaps
<7> All of the world's calculations taking 2 seconds on a calculator would be too long indeed
<4> Anyone ever work with NetApp Files? Damn things are sweet
<4> *Filers
<4> we have 30 Filers here with about 100TB each I think
<4> probably more
<4> then we have all our SAN **** too from EMC
<6> calc stats

<9> @aedinius 244971619 2442 14 Jun 18:37 "I never said I needed the rifle."
<6> hehe
<6> aedi is a cyberterrorist.
<10> KidArt: When did I say that?
<6> 14 Jun 18:37 i am guessing
<10> Hm
<10> OH
<10> I was talking about the M1 Garand
<6> only a true patriot cyberterrorist would use the M1
<10> =]
<11> er. isn't the garand a bolt-action rifle?
<10> No.
<10> Not the M1 Garand
<10> http://www.memorableplaces.com/m1garand/
<10> Err, not a good link
<10> I should look at them before I paste
<10> http://www.rt66.com/~korteng/SmallArms/m1rifle.html
<11> oh, i thought the M1 garand saw service in world war 2.
<11> ah, it did.
<10> It used the funky clip.
<10> ... pow pow ping!
<6> nice little ping which gives away your position and lets your enemy know your position
<6> er
<6> lets him know you're out of ammo
<6> loaded with stripper clips, significantly more painful than magazines
<6> great gun if you want to die for your country. at least its semiauto.
<6> interesting at the time the US was roughly at the same technical level as everyone else as far as warmongering went
<6> many of our enemies and allies had superior rifles etc
<6> im not exactly sure who america's enemies are now, but whoever they are, there isn't a whole lot of comparisom
<12> "(note: careful, m1's are always hungry and eat thumbs)."
<6> hehe
<10> AaronWL: That ping was just a rumor
<10> Well, that it gave away position/lack of ammo
<6> rumor?
<6> the ping is quite loud
<6> only relevant at close quarters though
<6> a military study at the time showed that m1 and similar rifles accounted for only a very small percentage of all rounds fired. the vast majority were fired by the guy with the squad's big gun.
<6> that study is what led to the policy of giving everyone a full auto rifle by vietnam
<13> so that they could shoot more bullets that don't hit nothing but the dust ?
<13> fgets ?
<14> ahhh yes
<5> they probably hit more trees than enemys
<13> probably ? :p
<13> i'm quite certain :)
<13> but still people go to cinemas to see movies about dudes who shoot with uzis from 50 meters and almost never miss ...
<5> I wonder many were killed by trees
<13> considering the odds, i think a few may have been hit by falling trees
<13> i'd me more interested how many were killed while sleeping on a bambus bush :p
<13> those f-ers grow rapidly
<11> freopen() and gets().
<15> how to i flip around a dword?
<16> a tramoline?
<15> e.g. 0x12345678 -> 0x78563412
<16> try using some logic.
<15> is there a better way then doing it byte by byte?
<6> there are various high-efficiency ways that probably have very minimal gains for the amount of obfuscations
<6> easiest is just a 32-iteration loop
<16> since he wants nibble-wise reversal a smaller loop is likely more useful.
<6> mask, or, shift, repeat
<15> hmm ok
<6> oh, didnt see it was only nibbles
<6> anyway, same sort of thing
<6> well, in that case, id just do two swaps.
<15> btw motorola is big endian and x86 is little ?
<6> correct
<15> erm
<15> with motorola i meant powerpc
<6> still correct
<15> oki i c
<6> most significant digit first is the most common layout. intel is the most popular lsb, as far as i know.
<15> i heard that little endian is more effictive
<15> from hw point of view
<6> i doubt it makes that much of a difference.
<16> more addictive. once you get some little endian in you, you are changed for lyfe.
<6> little endian makes a lot of sense for instruction sets like intel that use subregs, and are commonly programmed by hand.
<6> msb probably makes more sense if you just have a bunch of equally-sized words with no subregs
<15> i c
<17> you can flip a word differently, in many way
<17> s
<17> by bits, by nibbles, by bytes, by shorts
