  Perl5 regexen: exponential backtracking behavior when mixing \n and \s
 
Anyone out there running Perl 5.6 or higher? Try running this little test proggy that compares the approximate CPU execution times of two regexen: ---...---begin---...--- #!/bin/perl use strict; $^W = 1; sub cputime { my ($user, $sys, $cuser, $csys) (...)

  Re: News search function temporarily disabled
 
(...) I've had nothing but problems with www.hort.net/gallery/, which is all dynamically generated. Every month at about the same time we disappear entirely out of Google's search engine, which they claim is due to updates. Although it usually only (...)

  Re: News search function temporarily disabled
 
(...) That's an intriguing thought. It looks like it requires Google to be able to crawl a site completely, though. I wonder if they play well with dynamically generated content... (...) Yes, it is. --Todd (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: News search function temporarily disabled
 
(...) Hi Todd, Did you ever consider a google search box? Like this one: www.sis.pitt.edu/~dist I don't know for sure, but I think that the search is done on google's server. Toki (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.admin.general, lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Windows and new hard drive
 
(...) It shouldn't be. What about the LASTDRIVE environment variable? Does it still have to be set to 'Z' manually? (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Windows and new hard drive
 
(...) Is it necessary to have MSCDEX operating to recognise a CD-ROM under Windows? I thought that was all embedded in the OS but one never knows. I haven't used SCSI peripherals since the days of Windoze 3.1. Just a thought, LFB (24 years ago, 16-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Windows and new hard drive
 
Installing a new drive with Linux is easy. You just physically plug the drive in and boot up. Then you can issue three commands and you're all set. Under Windows 95 it is much harder. I originally tried to partition and format the drive with Linux. (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Printer oddities
 
At my workplace we have two printers for use by my small department. I don't know the specifics or even the brands off the top of my head, but they're those nice big clunky commercial printers such as "paperless" offices usually need. One is about a (...)

  Re: Mixing ATA-33 and ATA-100 drives on single device
 
(...) In that case, it is a serious speed penalty... (...) I only have two fans: One on the CPU and one in the power supply unit. The new drive runs very hot compared with the old one, so I think I'm going to shuffle them a bit. Placing the new one (...) (24 years ago, 15-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
