2009-08-09 Thread Eli Billauer
On Monday, August 10th at 18:30, Haifux will gather to hear Shachar 
Shemesh' talk


  GCC Profile Guided Optimization

Abstract

Compiler optimization is a crucial part of modern computerized systems. 
This lecture will cover what optimization is, why it is necessary, as 
well as go into more details regarding what some of what the compiler 
does during optimization. The lecture will also cover profile guided 
optimization - where the compiler's optimization decisions are assisted 
by information collected when the program is actually running.


Slides and examples are available at http://www.haifux.org/lectures/218

=

We meet in Taub building, room 6. For instructions see:
http://www.haifux.org/where.html

Attendance is free, and you are all invited!

Future lectures:

17/8/09   Sockets in the Linux Kernel (2): Rami Rosen
(Lectures to be announced...)
26/10/09   Social and Cultural perspective on the Israeli FOSS 
community: Liora Shlomi

Hi Guy,
Sorry for false alarm, site is up and running, it was my problem, as
usual I didn't learn anything from that, I mean from this mistake.

I have tested a firewall of the customer on my net last week and set up
82.80.248.1/24 as secondary on my router, the IP of haifux is
82.80.248.17, from the same range, what is the coincidence...

Thanks, Serge.

Choose cp-1255, as it has a larger range of Hebrew support, if it's possible.

Now, I have talked with the Kopete developers a few years ago and they 
explained to me why ICQ gives us so much troubles. It seems that when a 
message is sent in ICQ one of it's headers describes the encoding the in which 
this message is encoded. Ok, so far so good.

However, most of the messages/clients (not sure about it) are sent in encoding 
number 3, which means "use your locale". So, Alice has LC_CTYPE=he_IL.cp-1255 
and sends a hebrew message to Bob (which used LC_CTYPE=C) and if the message 
is in encoding "3", this means the encoding is LC_CTYPE. Pretty much fucked 
up, IMHO. Nice to have a menu which overrides it.

Well... more or less, as in windows you don't really have LC_CTYPE... and I am 
not sure if the borked encoding number is "3"... but you get the idea.

Please use unicode when developing new applications/protocols. Transfer the 
text sing UTF-8. Or die, slowly and use putty on Windows95 to read your email 
from your Linux box by deciphering the packets read by tcpdump.

Flash based games not working

2009-08-09 Thread Micha Silver
Some of the younger members of the family play flash games (sheshbesh) 
on Walla's site. On Ubuntu 8.10 and 8.04 this worked well 
(flashplugin-nonfree). The 8.10 machine was upgraded to 9.04 and still 
the site worked OK. But recently, after some other upgrades, the game no 
longer loads- just the "sha-on hol". (Meanwhile on 8.04 it still works). 
We asked Walla's support and they haven't changed anything.


Any ideas how to work around this?

Thanks,

Micha

Re: Flash based games not working

2009-08-09 Thread Arie Skliarouk
Hi,

Couple of days ago a new version of flashplugin (10.0.32.18ubuntu0.9.04.1)
was uploaded into ubuntu updates.

You might want to downgrade back to the previous version:
apt-get install flashplugin-installer=10.0.22.87ubuntu2

Keep in mind that the older version has security problems:

 I don't know if it started yet (not living in Israel) but just today I
 saw an ad (maybe in Tapuz) for a usb dvb-t dongle in an Israeli site, so
 there must be a market for this...
