[Soekris] power adapters for net5501 19" cases
I am looking at buying two net5501s and one of the dual-board 1U cases from The case I'm looking at is the krb_191_52A. What power bricks work inside that chasis? I see the ones in their list that work (GS25B12_uk and GS25B12_eu )... are they the same or size-compatible with this one: https://www.soekris.com/shop/product_info.php?products_id=133 ? I'm not sure which adapters fit in the cases, though clearly they're using ones with IEC 60320 / C7 inlets. ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

Your pulling up the web page as if it was a user, and "scraping" the data you need off it. I do this constantly with programs that go out, pull up a web page as if it was a user, pluck data depending on formatting or search strings, and then does other processing locally with it. I've found it very effective on dating and job websites. ;) Tuc ___ Soekris-tech mailing list Soekris-tech@lists.soekris.com http://lists.soekris.com/mailman/listinfo/soekris-tech

In this case probably to "remove" e-mail addresses from mailing list archive web sites to add to a spammers database.

I don't get it. As English is not my mother tounge, I even ran "scraper" through a dictionary. Among the exactly 50 translations of which it can mean in German (http://www.dict.cc/?s=scraper) there is not a single one which would even remotely make sense.
