Yeah, I never claimed the code as mine, hence the quotes. Not sure who happy hacker is, but this came from linuxplanet and was written by a Carla Schroder. As I mentioned, I did not think alias was the way to go, which is why I posted a script. Granted it was a show off script, but still, it did what was asked. Nothing more was specified. When I posted it, I thought the entire writeup would give an understanding, and then the core elements could be pulled out. That was the original problem statement, it contained nothing about syntax or arguments. Now that being said, I agree with your methods, but we are both looking back on it with our current knowledge. With a problem description that loose, the only thing for certain was a shell script and to copy a file. The rest is extrapolation, period. I am familiar with tldp, but would have been like handing someone a dictionary, especially when pressed for time. She had minutes to do this and was just looking for something that worked. In the end the student felt it was about an alias, so she went with that. Which is honestly probalby just as safe as a bunch of us 5 years down the road giving outside help. So, your logic is assumptive and based on things outside the problem statement. Additionally the material is way too much to chew write now. Even the sample scripts were a bit much based on the class pace. Now, I would not have typed any of the above had it not been for the statement I think we/I assessed it pretty well and did so before she had to turn it in. Further, I insist that the code I posted meets the guideline and then some including folder integrity. In any case maybe your post can provide insight with future work. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Exactly what he said. 1. ad-aware - simple, easy to use, although I recommend tweaking some custom opts like scan inside of archives. 2. Spybot S&D - more advanced, catches more hostile sneaky stuff. Still never had a false positive. 3. HijackThis - shows all running processes and some reg keys. You must know something about the os to use it. Never check all and delete. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Well, congrats on liking Java, it might have been my prof/textbook, but I hated it. Of course I was 'weened' on C and Turbo Pascal, then on to C++ Java always seemed like a web language to me...more security features (annoyances) than I wanted. Sometimes OOP is great, other times, good ole quick C is. I cannot imagine taking a *nix admin class in a cram format. My *nix was Op. Systems II, and the final was 200 question multi-multi choice, like a-e, then aa-ee. Hope you did okay on the project. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

owww, ok. That sucks. Us 'geeks' in school used to try and outcode each other in class. Writing elegant or better yet obfusticated code always got discussion if not extra points. But an alias should be easy enough, it sounds like you got it. Maybe in the future you will get the 'fun' elegant type stuff. I even aced a final one time, then the prof called me up and said "Show me, how this works" I explained what it did, basically a loophole way to manipulate a linked list without screwing with pointers. He wanted to be sure I knew what I was doing. Then said, "Well, I have never seen anyone do it that way, but it meets the technical requirements, here's your A." But he was a great prof anyway, worked for years in the oil industry and then for TI. I was one that taught cause he liked it. We had great arguments. And that was at community college. Anyway, I hope you get that experience. I am sorry about the Java thing though....ick. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Ok, I guess maybe I misinterpreted, I thought you had to write a script. That is very different from aliasing. If you are supposed to alias, then my big bad script post is way in the wrong direction. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Do you have to alias? Or just call the script? -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

That might just be the definitive answer. Wow. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Agreed, with Dave, you are very lucky, i only had a few profs like that. Your first job might not include unix, because some sysadmin is writing scripts to do it

Yeah, my answer depends the vehicle. I tend to be safer on my harley. Although due to gearing my perfect cruising speed is about 68 or 80. In my car, I tend to rarely be under 80 on open road. I think for me it is the traffic thing. When you drive in DFW traffic, you spend so much time doing 30 because there is nowhere to acclerate, that when you get the road, you wanna take it. I used to have an integra, and that was bad for me, I got some nasty tickets. Knock wood, have not had any in a while. My Focus seems to go about as fast as the 'teg, because I dont feel as close to the ground. Guess I should slow down. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

If I remember anything about school, the example is probably 'wrong' for those of us in the working world. However, pointing that out never makes the teacher very happy. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Nice point on the shoes. I love it when a girl where cute hiking boots with like a long sundress, I think it looks cool; it seems to talk about the duality of her personality to my subconscience....or something freudian, I dont know. It have girls tell me regularly, you just can't wear them together. If you look good being you, I don't care what rules you broke. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Nice! I love freckles, think that they are so cute. There is a girl that works for VS, called Melissa something I think with awesome freckles. She might be stawberry blonde, I guess. http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application?namespace=moreInfo&prnbr=ME-172692&cgnbr=OSSWMTOPTNK&moreInfoInd=largeView&dispMode=STANDARD http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application?namespace=moreInfo&prnbr=ME-169171&cgnbr=OSSWMBOTSCP&moreInfoInd=largeView&dispMode=STANDARD http://www2.victoriassecret.com/commerce/application?namespace=moreInfo&prnbr=ME-172411&cgnbr=OSSWMCOVZZZ&moreInfoInd=largeView&dispMode=STANDARD Borrow like a lemur, all you have is sharp teeth and claws.

Winsor, nicely put. That was the line that seemed to get me in trouble in the hot skydiving chicks thread was the establishing personality vs. looks in skydivers, which some think are the same in skydivers. Interestingly, a decent percentage of those pictures come from Page 3, a UK site. Not sure on your country of origin, but I think big is more an individual preference than a national one. Personally, anywhere between B and DD is good with me. BUT, as this thread was started to point out there are many factors in attraction, and breast size is pretty close to the bottom of the list. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Well, perhaps we can combine this idea with the thoughts above about pet threads, and we get voile: I heart beaver Surely somewhere someone has a pet beaver? I don't know I heard that somewhere. All I can say is "We do not gnaw on our kitties, we pet them, and love them, and stroke them" -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Well said, very well said. I have a buddy that is super picky. He is constantly coming up with stuff like she has 'fat arms' and bizarro pickiness. Yet he is totally average. The way I see it, it is a two way street. If I get super picky, then she should too, I know I would be SOL. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Oh my gosh!!! I knew it was not just a dream. /me pinches self. Please feel free to talk out loud. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Nice logic, although, I think the part about talking to hot women is false, at least for a lot of us. You girls are pretty intimidating, particularly the ones we find attractive. If there is not attraction, then is it just chatting. But if I see a girl that I think has some quality I am intrigued by, then I get shy. Breaking the ice can be the hardest part. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Wow, I inspired a counter thread. Take solace, it is not so.... In fact I posted some somewhat opposite views here: http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1281399#1281399 Sometimes eye candy is just nice. Do I need it? No. Will I ever get it? Probably not. Do I think other women are beautiful and attractive? Hell, yeah (see other thread) I think it would be interesting to note, that a lot of times, as crwmike mentioned, women hold each other to standards we never thought of. Much like guys might compare other guys on macho stuff women never thought of. In reality, man may gawk, and yes you could argue against the objectification there it, but we are just being little boys. In reality, most of us seek different things. Just like the model at the end of the bar. Everyone wants to buy here a drink, they are falling over themselves getting to the bartender. The bar tender says, "Sit down, safe your money boys. Someone, somwhere, is tired of her shit." There is always more to it than looks. In fact, the recent acquaintance of mine that inspired the other thread can pull the "get ready in 5 minutes and go tear it up with the guys" thing. I have dated the opposite, and would much rather have the low makeup fun thing. The pin ups are just a glimpse at someone, who will never know more about than appearance, and in an occasional way that is appealing. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

You have to wonder why we are so attracted to boobies! I mean we would even choose being chased over a cliff by topless girls as a way to die. It baffles explanation. I don't have one good reason really, it is just an ingrained desire. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Glad I could help guys. Plenty more at home, but I will take it easy on Sangiro's bandwidth. Or drop a couple links to my server later in the day. I am not sure I have ever been called Beavis or Butthead as a compliment, but I dig. And the beautiful thing is: dropzone.com will typically get past your proxy/firewall/F5 big iron/ITnazi, so enjoy :) -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Well, part of the issue is DZ, as I mentioned before. In the 5 years I have been jumping, I would say at least 80% of the people I have met are men. Then you count out the married ones and apply my subjective hot definition....well there you go. It is definitely different at Aggieland, Spaceland, and even Skydive Dallas to a degree. But typically at 182 dzs, girls are scarce, and in the subset of freeflying even more so. Yeah, it is intriguing. Personally I think physical attraction/sex is very mental, as paradoxical as that sounds. Some girls just have an overall figure/look/smile that gets your mind running in overdrive. On the other hand, some girl might have all the 'supermodel' body parts, and just doesn't have the smile/look that makes you go hmmmm. Besides, in my opinion, we could return to a world of 40's nose art physique and I would be in heaven. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

yes, I remember the old old boobies thread that went away for that reason. I shall rest, yarmy. Girls say we go to the temple of woman, and they mean a spa. Guys say we go to the temple of women, and they mean a tittie bar. Intriguing.... -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

I swear I read that and it said vulva....hmmm -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

You can ask dave about my ex, I shit you not. Of course, somewhere, someone is tired of her shit. Hmm...perhaps we should cease? I was hoping to install some sharing. I have seen all these damn it. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.

Thanks...worst case, it get's deleted. Oh well... If you prefer, as a mod, I will honor your request and stop. -- All the flaming and trolls of wreck dot with a pretty GUI.
