    Weird Python ImportError

    Hi, Maybe something is wrong with your Python module search path. You can print the search paths with a Python command line: $ python >>> import sys >>> print sys.path Check if the path to glob.py is listed there. If it is there, it is most likely a permission problem, if not you have two...

    Solved [Solved] ten different random integers

    Hi, a simple variant would be: int permutation[10] = {0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9}; for ( int k = 0; k < 10; k++ ) { int r = rand() % 10; int tmp = permutation[k]; permutation[k] = permutation[r]; permutation[r] = tmp; }

    Have you heard of Quantum Computing?

    Hi, I did not see the documentary, however, I know a little bit about quantum computing. The good news is, that a quantum computer is not capable of breaking all encryption systems. However, the bad news is that it can break all currently used asymmetric encryption systems. Asymmetric...

    Hate Campaign Against BSDs

    Do you really think this person is a Linux user just because he claims to be one? Troll posts are just made for trolling, if you believe a single part of them you are trolled ;).

    Howto unpack a .bin file

    Sorry, this is beyond my magic. Maybe readelf, objdump, ar or something else from the binutils might help?

    Howto unpack a .bin file

    With some luck file will tell you the exact file type: $ file somefile from which you can deduce which extraction tool to use.

    svn madness

    In addition to my previous post a translation table might help ;): | FreeBSD Version | CSup tag | svn | ========================================================================== | 9-Stable | RELENG_9 | stable/9 | |...

    svn madness

    There is no 9.0-STABLE. There is a 9.0-RELEASE and a 9-STABLE and as phoenix stated, it is currently equal to 9.1-PRERELEASE. Soon there will be a 9.1-RELEASE and 9-STABLE will move on.

    svn madness

    The date of the build is Jun 12, so it was actually not correctly updated. Correctly updated you should end up with the same result as with the svn source.

    Is there a mercurial or git repository to download FreeBSD sources?

    No, I ment the /devel/git-subversion port. Though, as far as I understand svn2git, it is similar to a git svn fetch of the full history.

    Is there a mercurial or git repository to download FreeBSD sources?

    If you want the source to be in a git repository, you could use git-svn: $ cd /usr/src/ $ git svn init svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/stable/9 $ git svn fetch -rXXXXXX where the option -rXXXXXX tells git-svn to fetch the complete history beginning from revision XXXXXX, the current revision of...

    Software versioning hype

    One notable persiflage of strange version numbering is probably the Tex version number: each new version simply gets an additional digit of Pi, the current version is 3.1415926 :).

    portaudit

    portaudit simply parses the auditfile.tbz and extracts the entries important for your system by looking at currently installed package versions. So the version of portaudit does not matter for this task, though it matters for its own vulnerabilities ;).

    Good partition for both FreeBSD and Linux

    There is the ZFS on linux project which implements native ZFS support for Linux. On a Ubuntu system it is very simple to install via the PPA. I use this on a Ubuntu + FreeBSD system and it works flawlessly for me. But, needless to say, backup your data.

    Difference between FreeBSD and PC-BSD

    This matter is discussed here: http://forums.pcbsd.org/showthread.php?t=16637 and the short answer is: This will be solved in the near future with PC-BSD 9.1.

    ZFS dedup switch on with data present. How for force a 'scan' ?

    gcc version on FreeBSD 9.0?

    It is no problem to install different versions of gcc side by side. You can install newer versions up to the current development branch of gcc, version 4.7, via ports or packages. However, forcefully compile ports with newer gcc versions might fail. Some ports support compiling with newer...

    C++, 64 bit and mulithreads

    The main (only?) difference is that pointers are 64 bit. A double is a 64 bit floating point number (1 sign, 11 exponent, 52 mantissa bits) and has nothing to do with the 32/64 bit software problem (i.e. you can use doubles on 32 bit architecture). It is also no problem to perform 64 bit integer...

    Thanks for the code, it worked pretty well for me, however it does not support installing newer versions of FreeBSD, so I have written a patch: --- bsd_old 2011-12-22 09:02:25.246052213 +0100 +++ bsd_new 2011-12-22 09:20:09.311026256 +0100 @@ -1,5 +1,9 @@ if( hardwareSupported &&...

    Problem with fonctions c file.

    Oh, sorry. I should not have judged you by my own standards, because I am very bad at orthography. Only with the aid of spell checking it's possible for me to write readable comments ;).
