(t)csh is more likely available and the default on all Unix machines, which is the root of FreeBSD. iirc, bash must be installed everywhere else and is not as readily available except on Linux.

The database isn't the problem but packages trail ports, cause they need to be tested first, so their dependencies may differ and cause issues. So mixing the two can cause an issue until you're experienced enough to know what to w

I find it odd to be put into a bash shell. You don't need to guess where config files are. Unlike Linux, they're in the same place and documented in 'man hier'. For my workstation, I don't have a need for jails (or

tcsh is the default for root on freebsd and should always be used when working as root.

Of course, you must wait for implementation. As I said in another post, you must still test in the browsers to make sure they work but to only use a property available in one browser, or to write code and test in only one browser (the subje

Yes, really. You're saying the same thing I am, Geoffrey. Sort of. I expect browsers to render the same way as the spec says it should. I then verify in each browser. When they don't, I adjust, but I never write code, only test in

What you mean "we"? Much of this is just excitement added to a boring life, or curiosity, and should not be confused with "admiration". After watching or reading about such mobsters, I find I am disgusted, and hope I nev

I will reiterate, you absolutely don't understand the history and geopolitics, despite having lived here, and, no, the point I was trying to make was not about the school districts but about statistics defined by the city but given as

And with good reason. I don't know where things are with his software and methods today but, last I heard, djb's software and methods are world class ideas that everyone should be using.

It's not true of many other cities. There are only about three to five others in the USA with the unique separation of city and county government that St. Louis has. In case you don't understand, the city is not part of any county

I don't think you can but that wasn't my point.

In this case, they're not. Specifically, FBI crime data only only covers the city, so often used in news stories, only covers the city which, if it weren't for the state separating the city and county in the 1850s, would have also

This is true of any spam filter. You either have it set as too aggressive or you don't. You either put up with spam that gets through or you check your spam box more often. Google's is better than most.

Like most people, your links confuse people by combining St. Louis city with St. Louis county. However, St. Louis county is not part of St. Louis city. The statistics, such as this and the too often ballyhooed crime stats, are falsely skewe

In almost every case, confusion arises when the "how" is taught with no explanation of the "why". Why does that formula work? Why did you use that formula? Whole worlds were opened up to me when I learned that the fundam

A lot of posts here are mixing "look the same" with "function the same". Familiarity is fine when it comes to function but to look the same is boring.

Your idea is already in place. The regulations state you cannot cause interference but people still modify their devices to do so anyway.

by gopowerranger 11y ago
There is nothing in that FCC paper that says you won't be able to change the operating system and that is specifically mentioned in section 24.

by gopowerranger 11y ago
I'm not ignoring it at all. It's my point that, if those CBers couldn't modify their equipment, many of those issues would not have come up. Being an illegal operator is a different story unrelated to this topic.

You are pretending such things I mention don't happen but they happened all the time before the FCC came into being and happened often during the CB craze. In fact, I still occasionally hear of such things. Imagine there were no regula

It does NOT restrict you from modifying the software. Read section 24. "The Commission proposed that certain changes in layout, included components, operating software, or variations in overall electrical or mechanical constructions th

Years ago, when CB radio was all the craze, manufacturers would publish manuals with amplifiers tell you NOT to move a certain wire to a certain place because it would change the frequency or boost the power beyond the legal limits of CB op

If you want to jail offenders then there has to be a law or regulation for that. This is that regulation. How does this harm society? Imagine your wifi router becoming useless cause your neighbor decides to modify his and boost his output w

People aren't paying attention to what this is for. It's to prevent people from modifying RF devices, transmitters, from operating at power levels and frequencies, or other technical things, from interfering with other devices and
