This is useful if you need to look at the last arguments before deciding what to do, possibly for interoperability with some older code where the order of command line arguments is already set in stone.

Hmm… I changed it to cut from the top and bottom:

Australian news sites are reporting that Integral Energy, the company that supplies energy throughout New South Wales and Queensland, has suffered through a W32.Virut.CF virus outbreak. The company had to disinfect all 1000 of their desktops. The Sydney Morning Herald reported that the company’s anti-virus software hadn’t been updated since at least February. Luckily for the Aussies, the power grid’s servers run on Sun Solaris.

In the past i’ve used Eclipse, and that behemoth was a nightmare. The beast is a memory hog and just too bloated for my taste. Using plugins for php and python just make matters worse. I’ve always fallen back to vi (Vim) because of the severe headaches eclipse has caused me. hmm, I should sue… anyway, here’s the top reasons why Geany meets my criteria for the best code editor in the world…

Fifty million ways to get the hostname, choose one. But I couldn’t find a way to get the shortname without a system call to ‘hostname -s’. This is the best I could come up with, which would work with any of the above methods.

So comcast, you want $99, that’s what you’re telling me, otherwise it’s $60 + $7 fee + $2.25 “tax” for the Internet by itself? Basically what they’re doing is extortion. My internet connection is my little corner store, and they’ll knock it over if I don’t pay up. Everything they advertise is just marketing gimmicks to make it look like you can get a service for a low price, but there’s really no such thing because it’s not an individual option.

Flare fittings are a pain in the butt in many respects. They are expensive to purchase as a regular consumer and require attention to detail in craftsmanship when creating flares from straight pipe. I use some of these fittings in automotive applications such as fuel lines between pump and filter and fuel rail to filter. They are most often found in brake line replacements to eliminate some of the squishiness between the time when the pedal is depressed and the hydraulic system reaches sufficient compression to begin activating.

In the following code, we are creating a new variable called my_character and storing ‘a’ there.” This will be one byte in size. Whenever you create a string of text in the C language with quotes, you are actually storing that string somewhere in memory. That means that a string of text, just like all variables, has some address in memory where it lives. Now a pointer can only contain a memory address, so “Hello World!” must be a memory address.

The New York Times ran a story today reporting that “As soon as swine flu vaccinations start next month, some people getting them will drop dead of heart attacks or strokes, some children will have seizures and some pregnant women will miscarry.” Well isn’t that special. No need for alarm, nothing to see here move along.
