Or, you could try the Kurtwerks(tm) all stars bobby dazzler. It saved me, the 
universe, made coffee and washed the dishes

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH="some damn path"

It was *after* this bit of Kurwerks(tm) advice that I discovered I didn't 
need to fiddle with -I -i --nostdinc etc.

My only complaint is that Kurt could have told me about it before I asked.

The reference was in context to the Apple, and the demise of Mrola, which is 
directly related. The S100 (or separately, the Apple bus) were 'copied' into 
the IBM pc. It is only ironic that the good idea wasn't enough. Volumes are 
what counted.

> Intel beat the Motorollas only through brute force,

The brute force equated to volumes and price. _because_ Apples were and are 
excessively expensive, they weren't high volumes (relative to cheaply made, 
unlicensed pc klones). The sheer volume of Intel cpu's was the brute force. 
It was nothing that Intel did or didn't do to make that happen.

This is not the case at the point of disconnect. The 68040 was a gruntier, 
crunchier chip than the (early versions) of the 486. Intel did not 'win' 
based on more megahertz, Motorola did not 'lose' despite having a more 
elegant (read uniformly linear) cpu. Motorola had no place (other than Apple) 
to push it's cart in desktops (Amiga was a closed box). Where Mrola continues 
to win is any embedded engine based on it's CPU32 core. They compete head to 
head with Intel in volumes because it is single application-specific. (eg  
Palm pilots). Afaik, MC68HC11's,  05's , 680332 are dominant and Intel is an 
also ran.

which brings me back full circle. History will never know if a very big 
player backing the 8086 caused it to win. What caused the 680x0 to lose is 
Apple's unambiguous greed, simple as that.

>The 8080 and Z-80 were horrible, a total lack of useful addressing modes, 
>specialized registers

in context to your paragraph, I don't think you were slagging the Z80. It was 
the most advanced cpu & peripheral family of it's day and your arguments for 
the 6502, while valid, are a risk/cisc argument, hotly debated in 1975 citing 
both as 'exhibit one'. The Z80 pinched many mainframe concepts (mostly from 
Xerox Sigma 6 & Univac 1100's), including vectored interrupts. A lack which 
continues to plague us with the irq limit on x86. Most commentators of the 
time remarked on the ultimate demise of Charlie Chaplin because they backed 
the wrong horse (snigger snigger): an 8086 which was designed by the flotsam 
of Intel that remained after Exxon bought out the original design team.

Anyway, nice to sse you know what you're talking about

This is where a gui widget helps. A delete widget (button or icon) is context 
sensitive, it might operate on some highighted info, or many other criteria. 
The only thing context sensitive about the cli method is the current path 
(dot)(slash)

A gui widget learns from it's mistakes. Ie it is automated better by each 
iteration of the code underlying it. It might do self checks, it might 
'understand' what can / can't be deleted, it might be full bloat and actually 
do hidden backups. Point being, it can be automated with intelligence. The 
same intelligence you have to 'learn', it can too. The difference is the gui 
widget is an accumulator of knowledge. It doesnt forget, or make typos, or 
unlearn. You can create this fundamental, identically, using cli script. Ie 
overwriting the basic rm command with an alias to a written script of your 
own which would exhibit the same strengths as a gui-widget (because basically 
all scripts are widgets). Where the gui method differs is that all possible 
options (can be) presented in your face so to speak, with radio buttons or 
check boxes. There's nothing different about using 'no operator intelligence 
required' gui button and an equally 'no intelligence required' script. Both 
are implemented with the same goal in mind. But give me a gui anyday to 
remove the typos, and remind me, of all possible options that I can't 
remember, or much much worse, how to present them, on the command line.

Secondly, a gui widget is a token. A picture of  a crimson pink elephant 
means something. awk, grep, Grep, grEp, GRep, and grePpp mean nothing and are 
impossible to remember (the classic cp -r ... and chown -R .)

Using a mouse (gui), or, using the up-arrow (cli), has the same degree of 
laziness, except mice can't type miStakeZ. The idea of 'you can type the 
command quicker and easier', frankly, fills me with horror. Been there dun 
that, and recovered. SOME installations ban all use of the cli for this 
reason. (VisaCard servers eg). *nix makes much of the security aspect "linux 
won't let you.". This is fuddelbunk when it comes to individual users. 
Linux very weak in protecting a user from himself. The idea that a scientist 
deleting his 2,000 page thesis by accident is 'too stupid to use a computer' 
doesn't wash well. Up arrows create havoc each day every day.

One final thing to say about gui widgets is there is a disconnect between the 
command option and the literal. With cli, once you determine that --elephants 
means ignore timeouts, that's it. In most cases, 'elephants' is position 
sensitive as well. You can't change the name, nor it's position relative to 
other commands (without serious wurries). Filenames are particularly 
notorious, eg copy this = that, or is it copy that->this ?

With a gui, the visual front end can be radio-button-"elephants" and next 
version radio-button:"giraffes" if that has more contextual sense, and 
options have no position sensitivy. A text box saying "input file name" is 
pretty clear. This means that revision of a gui widget doesn't automatically 
break the underlying code, nor, does it inhibit revision. The dangers 
inherent in changing how a cli verb operates has indeed prevented many of 
them from being revised and is the reason why we cannot have a uniform set of 
-a, -b -c switches. They can't even agree on --help, /h -h, --H, -i, --I, -v 
or -vV.  The F1 key is agreed on.

disappointed with Rekall, and am using knoda at moment. It is very alpha, and 
under-developed. But, as a user front end, Knoda  seems to be the only thing 
'out there' and is the best of a poor bunch. I have supplied some patch code 
to the developer (of Knoda), he's tame, friendly, and overworked. I can't put 
very much effort into helping him because SQL is a mystery to me.

Re: Disk Activity

2002-02-08 Thread Michael Hipp

I unmounted the ReiserFS and vfat partitions. Disk activity continues.

Setting 'top' to 0.1 second updates seems to show kdeinit, X, init, 
keventd, and maybe hotpluguid as the most active. But it's really hard to 
tell. Interesting that hotpluguid seems to jump from way down on list to 
very top at somewhat regular intervals.

Unplugging the 2nd hard drive would take some work as that's where  
and /home are.

Thanks.

USB Printers and COL 3.1.1 (Workstation)

2002-02-08 Thread Federico Voges

-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE-
Hash: SHA1

Hi,

Just one bit of advice for those trying to use an USB printer with COL
3.1.1

add "printer" to /etc/modules/default
or modprobe printer

Otherwise, it won't be recognized. At least, that happened to me
setting up an Epson SC 777.

ICQ is currently setup to use the local socks server and that's working fine 
so I'd imagine a switchover can't be much of a change.

I take it all back!  By default Acronis hides the Program Files and 
Windows folders until **that** operating system loads.  There is a 
setting that disables this behaviour.  Wow - it's an excellent product - 
far superior to Partition Magic at a fraction of the cost.

Thanks for the suggestion.  

One thing I noticed when browsing the site was this:
"The software supports only those UDP applications that perform simple query 
and reply functions."

I know that some of the stuff I'm doing involves UDP, but as I don't have the 
source for the program I'm not totally sure if it fits into the "simple query 
and reply" category.  I guess there's only one way to find out though.

Re: procmail just stopped

2002-02-08 Thread Joel Hammer

OK. I just remembered. I was fooling around with permissions on my
home directory last night.  Although it is not blazened everywhere,
the permissions of the directory where .forward resides have to be
restrictive. I had made my home directory world writeable (not smart)
while trying to fix a samba problem. So, I changed my permissions back
to normal on my home directory and all is working again.

Naturally, I neglected to look in /var/log/mail in which there were
multiple error messages spelling this out.

procmail just stopped

2002-02-08 Thread Joel Hammer

For reasons that escape me (thus this email), last evening procmail just
stopped working. Nothing happened as far as I know. sendmail and all
works but I am getting all mail in my default mailbox.  proclog shows
no activity since last night.

Here is my .forward file:

"|exec /usr/bin/procmail"

procmail exists and runs from the command line.

.procmailrc exists and has not been changed lately.

Any insight appreciated.
