Re: [Ilugc] Tamil Phonetic Typing in Fedora
Hi ! I installed ibus and boosters for tamil. I could choose the tamil phonetic language now. But, I am still not able to get the phonetic typing working.

[Ilugc] [TIP] perl tutorial VI file I/O
We saw the power of regex and also that regexes form the core
strength of perl. How easily it melds with the perl idiom and the
perl way of doing things makes regex very commonly and
powerfully used in perl.
In fact most of the time perl is used because of the flexibility of regexes.
It slows down things a bit but perl was never built for performance.
It will never
be faster than C since all languages are written in C and it is an
interpreted language.
At least it would be faster than Java. ;)
Anyway I was also talking OO and God knows how I could forget python.
Python is a language built with OO in mind ground up. And it is very
pleasant to do OO in
python and it is a clear OO language.
In my opinion perl OO is more natural and smooth as opposed to Python
because you
can do OO in perl without even realizing the complexity or OO concepts.
That I will argue is a power of perl than its weakness. It is not
perfect and it is ugly but
you can get your job done without any hassle. Hence the argument in
LUG few days ago
that perl OO does not have private variables. In fact javascript is a
prototype language.
It means that there is no much difference between class and object.
Perl also has that
idiom though it is not strictly so. One needs to instantiate a class
as an object to use it
in most cases.
Also python has many functional programming concepts. The for()
iterator we saw in perl
is a crude example. In perl you have very few. Python and LISP are full of it.
Anyway let us get to work now.
File I/O involves reading and writing files.
All languages have OS bindings to do this. Javascript does not have;
it runs inside a browser and
a browser cannot have security flaws.
Anyway file I/O in perl can be done in many ways.
In the simplest case:
open FH, "/etc/passwd";
while() {
print;
}
close FH;
will do a file input.
A simple file output would be:
open FH, ">/tmp/test";
print FH "Writing a test file\n";
close FH;
Test these two programs.
It is easy.
The <> (diamond) operator takes a file descriptor/handle as input.
It is called a typeglob in perl I think(I don't like academic stuff).
It is something,
not a scalar, not an array, not a reference.
Anyway reads from the file handle typeglob. <> reads from standards input
file descriptor.
The diamond operator is as much a hit amongst the perl geeks as the
regex // operator.
It significantly simplifies file input.
As to file output, print is the most useful command to write to a file
descriptor.
print "What is this?";
prints to stdout.
print FH "what is this";
prints to the file handle.
There are other commands like sysopen(), sysread() etc. but I never use them.
$ perldoc -f sysopen
The perl's standard documentation installed in the perl distribution
is not always
very readable. Some pages are very badly written.
Ironically the perl modules found in CPAN have very nice man pages and
plenty of code samples.
In fact you can simply use the mouse to copy paste code and you can
begin perl hacking.

[Ilugc] Fwd: Updates on Download.Com caught adding malware to Nmap installer
Forwarded Message __ From: Fyodor Date: Wed, Dec 7, 2011 at 9:41 AM Subject: Updates on Download.Com caught adding malware to Nmap installer To: nmap-hack...@insecure.org Hi Folks. A lot has happened since yesterday's email about Download.com's antics (http://seclists.org/nmap-hackers/2011/5) and I wanted to send a quick update. First of all, several people complained about my angry tone and my telling Download.com to "F*ck" themselves. I appologize to anyone offended. But if you ever spend more than 14 years creating free software as a gift to the community, only to have it used as bait by a giant corporation to infect your users with malware, then you may understand my rage. The good news is that many users are sick and tired of having their machines hijacked by malware. Especially by CNET Download.Com, which still says on their own adware policy page: "In your letters, user reviews, and polls, you told us bundled adware was unacceptable--no matter how harmless it might be. We want you to know what you're getting when you download from CNET Download.com, and no other download site can promise that." --http://www.cnet.com/2723-13403_1-461-16.html Um, what people WANT when they download Nmap is Nmap itself. Not to have their searches redirected to Bing and their home page changed to Microsoft's MSN. Speaking of which, Microsoft emailed me today. They said that they didn't know they were sponsoring CNET to trojan open source software, and that they have stopped doing it. But the trojan installer uses your Internet connection to obtain more "special offers" from CNET, and they immediately switched to installing a "Babylon toolbar" and search engine redirect instead. Then CNET removed that and are now promoting their own "techtracker" tool. Apparently the heat is so high that even malware vendors are refusing to have any more part in CNET's antics! But if CNET isn't stopped, the malware vendors will come crawling back eventually and CNET will be there to receive them. There have been dozens of news articles in the last day and hundreds of outraged comments on blogs, Twitter, Facebook, etc. In the midst of all this terrible PR, Download.com went in last night and quietly switched their Nmap downloads back to our real installer. At least for now. But that isn't enough--they are still infecting the installers for thousands of other packages! For example, they have currently infected the installer for a children's coloring book app: http://download.cnet.com/Kea-Coloring-Book/3000-2102_4-10360620.html Have they no shame at all??! I've created a page with the situation background, links to the news articles, and the latest updates: http://insecure.org/news/download-com-fiasco.html Feel free to share it. Together, I hope we can get Download.Com to apologize and cease this reprehensible behavior! Cheers, Fyodor ___ -- A.
