<0> that would be postgres then
<0> not postgre
<1> Postgres, yes
<2> Ahh .. that's right :)
<0> which is why postgresql is pronounced as it is
<0> post gres cue ell
<1> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PostgreSQL#History
<0> OK, heading out from $bar to $hotel
<3> Oh, I actually needed tr/1-26/a-z/...
<3> Except a working one...
<2> xbansheex: so what should "12" become?
<3> 12 should become l if I counted my abc's properly...
<2> why not 'ab'?
<3> Because I'm only doing one letter at a time.
<2> then tr/// isn't what you meant
<2> eval: ord('a')-96
<3> Maybe not. What did I mean?
<4> Woosta: 1
<0> is 123 abc, or (12)(3) or (1)(23)
<0> you have a very confused spec
<0> oh - he's gone
<5> Perl officially doesn't have any acronym meanings. DOes it?
<5> I mean, officially
<0> spyroboy - what's the context of the question
<0> "official" can mean many things
<5> Well
<5> My friend is debating the fact that 'PERL' is an acronym.
<6> it is
<0> But it's not
<0> it's both
<0> and neither
<5> yeah
<5> I know
<6> Practical Extraction and Report Language
<0> it's a backronym
<0> it was originally "Pearl"
<0> and then Larry found something that was Pearl
<0> so he dropped the "a"
<0> and then he invented a meaning for the letters
<0> so the name came first, and is therefore not an acronym
<0> but the letters can mean something if you want
<7> anybody know how to install perldocs locally on macosx?
<5> That's what I knew of it
<5> Yes
<0> macosx has perldocs already
<7> merlyn: for some reason, i dont' have them.
<0> as long as you have Xcode
<0> and the BSD SDK
<6> even without Xcode
<0> which all good people should have
<7> perldoc -f works, but perldoc perlop says "no doc avail"
<0> that sounds like you want the BSD SDK
<8> chovy_: try man perlop
<0> that was an option when you were installing originally
<0> you can add it later, I think
<0> boot from your install media
<7> man perlop worked.
<7> merlyn: k
<5> Mmm..
<8> chovy_: odd
<5> Perl is such a good language.
<0> no - it's evil
<0> it made me a felon
<5> lol
<5> merlyn, you're a pr0 at perl!
<7> f00li5h: i was surprised it had perl, but missing those docs...if "man perlop" works, they must be sitting around somewhere, perhaps i just need to add it's path to @INC
<8> merlyn: i thougth that was intel...
<0> pr0 - where is pr1 ?
<0> s/it's/its/ chovy_
<0> odd - usually people make the OTHER mistake. :)
<8> chovy_: hrm, i'm not sure about perldoc
<7> apostropher s isn't possessive in "it's"
<8> but i know there's a MANPATH
<7> ?
<0> "its" = "belongs to it"
<0> "it's" = "it is"
<8> well, you can tell man (1) to look in different places to
<7> merlyn: that subject came up @ lunch yesterday.
<8> merlyn: it's is possessive...
<7> f00li5h: man works.
<7> just not perldoc
<0> no it isn't
<8> chovy_: yes, but perldoc may have the same type of thing...
<0> it's what I said it is
<8> merlyn: you sure?
<0> Yes
<8> is this american english again?
<0> if you can type "it's" you can type "it is"
<0> those are identical
<7> i guess i would trust a merlyn over a fooli5h :)
<0> otherwise, it's 'its'
<0> it's 'its' if it's its item
<7> so it is a contraction to type it's
<9> f00li5h: expand the contraction. what does it's mean?
<2> f00li5h: all english
<2> it's always correct in any sort of English you pick
<7> but Joe's doesn't mean "joe is"
<8> this is f00li5h's cup ...
<8> posessive ...
<0> it's not consistent :)
<2> chovy_: yes it can
<10> chovy_: thats because english ****s as a language
<0> Joe's eating a dog!
<0> Sam's got a run!
<10> merlyn: actually thats, Joe 's eating a hotdog IIRC
<2> a run?
<0> Jamie's got a gun!
<7> true
<0> no space
<2> simcop2387: no, there's no space
<2> ^^ like there's no space there << or there
<0> Cheny's shot someone!
<7> ha
<10> ha
<7> The whole world's come undone
<7> Cheny's got a gun.
<0> what'm I gonna do?
<0> cheny's comin' after you!
<7> what is "gonna" - a contraction?
<6> merlyn: which mbp did you buy?
<0> a slur. :)
<2> gonna is slang :)
<10> thats a great idea
<10> gonna ==~ going to
<0> s/thats/that's/
<2> that's
<10> http://www.amiright.com/parody/90s/aerosmith33.shtml
<6> merlyn, slur?
<0> 17 inch, 200GB disk, 3GB ram, 2.33 Ghz Core 2 Duo
<10> my ' key doesn't work
<2> lol
<0> I saw nothing there!
<0> amazing!
<6> o.O
<10> neither does " or ` or ~
<7> no amd64?
<6> merlyn, no stuck/dead pixels in your lap? :P
<10> i want, four 21 inch monitors plus mounting stuff to mount them in a square, 4gb ram, and a 5ghz octocore opteron in an 8way config
<10> er 64gb ram
<0> none that I can see
<0> not for something this expensive
<0> stuck/dead pixels are from Other companies. :)
<6> not really
<6> apple has too, and they have a politic for that
<0> I've never had an apple laptop that's had a single stuck/dead pixel
<0> ever
<0> and I've had about 20 Apple laptops
<8> that cant be a good sign
