Remove files after svn add but before committing

You’ve added a whole directory to get checked into subversion, and then realized you forgot to remove the binaries, or perhaps you had some hidden files, .nfs0001 or thumbs.db or something else you just don’t want to commit. There’s two ways to undo this situation.

Facebook status updates in your Gmail - Buzz

I just logged into my gmail to find “buzz”, a new feature integrated into my gmail. I’m not quite sure what to think of it. Other than google, I don’t think anyone wants status updates in their gmail, but perhaps I’m wrong? I’d rather see Wave integrated, once it stops hiccuping of course.

ld-linux.so.2 bad elf interpreter

Death by Dynamically linked libraries. The binary file was compiled with the dependency of one or more shared libraries. The libraries needed by the application you’re trying to execute are not included in the binary itself, they have to reside on your system.

Breached password report reveals common password themes

Until now, only password surveys have been analyzed, and I knew the results would be almost useless when compared to a real dataset of passwords because who in their right mind would donate one of their own passwords, or anything like it, to a survey about password statistics?

Rpmbuild check-rpaths can break spec files

Rpmbuild’s RPATH feature is used to search libraries outside of standard paths. They are given to the linker at buildtime. If the developers of the code you’re trying to turn into an RPM did not take any of these considerations into account when they write their programs then you may be forced to skip check-rpath.

Disabled iBurst Wireless Tower Blamed for Health Problems

The Craigavon Task Forc, established shortly after an iBurst tower was built just north of Johannesburg in Fourways Memorial Park on 12 August 2009, has battled with iBurst to get the tower relocated elsewhere due to concerns over radiation from the tower causing a long list of health problems. Little did residents know, the tower was shut off more than six weeks ago.

RFC complaint regular expression for parsing email addresses

The RFC compliant way to parse email addresses with regular expressions is too big to fit in an excerpt. (?:(?:\r\n)?[ \t])*(?:(?:(?:[^()

Modern Warfare 2 Semtex-Javelin kamikaze chain reaction glitch

Frag grenades won’t work because you can’t cook them forever, and once you pull one out you can’t switch to another weapon. But the semtex timer won’t start until you let go of it or die. So this is probably a technical glitch. This will be a suicide run, but when you die the semtex will drop and explode the javelin. If you don’t have the javelin pulled out, this won’t work because only your current weapon drops to the ground. If you have the danger-close perk enabled, the resulting explosion will be even larger. I wonder if using last stand with this would have any effect, such as kills from the afterlife, or assisted suicide points for the enemy.

Building qpidc AMQP C++ libraries on ppc

Wow, there are a crap load of dependencies to build qpid, the AMQP client/server libraries for C++! What do you mean my architecture isn’t supported? Bah, whatever… Add ppc to the list or rip it out for now. Just build it and stop complaining!

I always find it sad to reboot a Linux server

I always hate having to reboot a server. I can almost always avoid it. And that sounds like there’s some effort put into avoiding the reboot, and you might think that — if you’re used to a world of Windows servers. But it’s just not that hard to keep a server up.
