So I have a string that has a binary data structure in it, and I want to use Perl's unpack() on it

The binary structure is a 32bit int, followed by N 8 byte chunks. And I don't have quadwords in this build of Perl, so I cant treat them as 64bit ints.

For the past twenty years, I've always assumed that, given knowledge of a file's inode number, there was some efficient way to open(2) that file by inode instead of name, and I've just never felt the need to use it ( Read more... )

Even just a constantly updating GIF or PNG, like a cheap webcam server, would do.

Dear Lazyweb,

I have all my old .netscape and .mozilla directories for all my past installations of Netscape, Mozilla, and Firebox, going back to 1996. I've got cert.db, cert5.db, and cert7.db files.

I want to extract out all of the certs and keys that I had added to those databases, and then import them into my current ~/.mozilla database ( Read more... )

I think I may have had a couple more gigs just drop into my inbox.

I'm going to have to start tracking tasks, task completion, hours, clients, and potential clients.

There has to be an app that does this. Lawyers and graphic designers do it all the time. The trick will be, finding one that is open source and that doesn't suck.

So maybe it adds another dollar to the radio, big deal. They keep adding more and more expensive fragile shit to cellphones anyway...
