I agree with the wait-lock theory of clicking keys, it applies to just about anything involving intention, execution and outcome. "Good it worked!" or "DOH!WTF?" .. these impressions I think are at the heart of a human, experimentation=survival thing. That said, I also agree that the ideal interfac

I was going to speculate the ROI value was erroneously null and an energy management system shut it down thoughtlessly, but it might just be a 0 anyway.. but yeah, works for me too at the moment. ;) -- ⎼⎺⎺├@┼␊├├≤-␍⎼␊▒␍:/␤⎺└␊/⎼␤⎺#

So many configs- is true, since the configuration of the host itself is critical to the virtual platform, and your distroVersion/openbox vs. distro2Version/openbox. Especially the successful archlinux/gentoo/lfs qemu-kvm guys will be like well first I (already) had a kernel compiled for my ha

Depending on what binary is reading what data stream, I think the bottleneck here is in the networked I/O file-system and not the hardware drivers. Just guessing out of curiosity. On Sun, Jan 22, 2012 at 3:09 PM, Akshat Kumar wrote: > I have a gigabit Realtek 8169 > ethernet port. > > Plan 9 show

Well, my hostowner user cant seem to fudge the /tmp either (not by any sane means such as unmount or rm) if that might reveal anything (including anything about my own installation, which is admittedly mostly neglected). Im on qemu-kvm and bell's plan9.iso rather than anything 9front, however (pra

Access utf values and echo from indexes on rc? Before I write any code over the issue, does anyone have a grep, sed, or split application which matches by utf character values like \U2424 instead of whatever built-in token like \n ? Or another basic question I cannot get the manuals to answer yet
