  Re: Windows and new hard drive
 
(...) Cool. There's a large bunch of my brain cells devoted to storing obscure DOS config information; I'm glad it came in useful! (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Perl5 regexen: exponential backtracking behavior when mixing \n and \s
 
(...) Awesome. Was that Perl 5.6? So it's smart enough to compile \n\s into a DFA instead of an NDFA? Wow. --Todd (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Windows and new hard drive
 
(...) Yeah, putting "LASTDRIVE=Z" in CONFIG.SYS did work! Thanks! Fredrik (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Windows and new hard drive
 
(...) Hm, that's something I can try... Thanks. Fredrik (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
 
  Re: Windows and new hard drive
 
(...) Thanks for the suggestion, but I don't think that's related. I can still disconnect the new drive, and the SCSI CD ROM becomes available as E: like before upon the next bootup. So I think the drivers are all there. Fredrik (24 years ago, 17-Dec-00, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)

  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 (...)

(...) 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)

(...) 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)
