If posts are not to be evaluated on their merits, perhaps a good resolution to this particular issue would be to have a policy whereby moderators lock threads before they post their closing comment....
No less fair than leaving any post in a thread that is locked; precluding any possibility of rebuttal to those posts. If a moderator is to expend the time and effort of removing posts in a thread...
I wish to object to the removal of this post (only visible to staff) in the Apple Pulls VLC from the App Store thread.
I fail to see anything objectionable in the following explanation and would...
Apple has no more right to make copies and distribute that VLC developer's software than that developer would have to make copies of and distribute OS X. In order to distribute copies of a...
My preliminary analysis concludes that your not having access to your neighbor's network plays a significant role in preventing you from using it.
You should investigate the Mozilla Greasemonkey extension (Javascript).
Your emphatic "NO" is hardly absolute. Calling it GNU/Linux may indeed "help out the cause" if "the cause" happens to be something other than a popularity contest.
You are responding to an...
My favorite package format is Slackware's .tgz. If I had to choose between .deb and .rpm, I would go with .deb because the package contents are readily accessible using standard Unix utilities, as...
This example is not really indicative of the namespace issue, but does raise the issue of Scheme's lack of distinction between functions and the symbols to which they are bound. At least I think...
Other than being able to use a variable named 'list', I got nothing. :)
I hear that Unity Linux is going to call their new window manager "Ubuntu". :P
Fair enough. I shall withdraw my snarkiness. smspillaz (if I am making the connection correctly) has done an admirable job of discussing things here. To Ubuntu's cost, such forum participation by...
It is a shame that Ubuntu doesn't have some sort of forums available where developers could participate in such discussions with the community of Ubuntu users. :snark:
I have only recently investigated using Autotools for creating libraries (as opposed to programs), so the following should be taken tentatively.
Since gtk+ and gtkmm are libtoolized (i.e.,...
Try providing a fully qualified path to 'festival'; it may not be in the PATH that is active when the script is triggered.
The contents of EBP are pushed onto the return stack (pointed to be ESP). The EBP is used to point to stack frames which is where local variables are stored. The EBP is being saved on the return...
Arrays are always passed by reference in C. This is because at compile time, the size of an array may not be known (whereas the size of structs, floats, ints, etc are fixed).
So when your 'func()'...
We despise most in others that which we fail to see in ourselves.
Check out the man page for 'uuencode'.
Sorry, I had just woken from a nap and hadn't read your post accurately. Your way is actually better because it removes some unnecessary escaping.
Since you are using soft quotes around the entire substitution expression, BASH is stripping the escapes before they are passed to 'sed'.
Instead, try using hard quoting:
sed 's/\"/\\\"/g'...
Have you examined the C code in the project's example reference decoder (the comments are effectively a tutorial)?
You are correct, however, other languages don't mandate that all numerical operations be done in floating point. Nonetheless, my point was made tongue-in-cheek -- Javascript is a decent language...
