Subject: joystick trouble
Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 05:23:58 +0200
Hi*,
could you tell me how to get a CH Flight Pro compatible joystick to run
under SuSE Linux 6.4?
This is what I did so far:
installed the joystick rpm with yast.
"insmod joystick" as root
checked to be sure with lsmod. Yes, it's there, but unused.
did a "mknod joystick c 0 0" in /dev as root. Should this better be a
block device? What name do apps expect? What's the right maior and minor
number?
checked with ls -la and set /dev/joystick writeable for group and
others, too. Security flaw?
What now? Games I try to run still complain about not finding a
joystick, and neither does kcmjoy.
TIA!

These are Internet Service Providers that provide service at no charge
to the users.
There are three main variations on this:
a) Freenets such as <http://www.freenet.carleton.ca/>; they fund
themselves via "whineware," generally via annual drives for
donations.
b) Free service that you may get from having bought an expensive
computer. (It's rather more common to get the opposite; a cheap
computer via paying for an _expensive_ ISP...)
c) Free service that comes from someone imposing the requirement that
you use their mail client and/or web browser that either:
1. Makes you look at their advertising, or
2. Provides them psychometric information by indicating what web
sites you browse, and such...

What you want to do is to set it up as what is called a "daemon."
There are quite a number of other "services" or "daemons" started when
your system starts up; the precise details vary somewhat based on
which version of a program called "init" that your system uses.
You can usually look in /etc/init.d or /etc/rc.d to see various
services that get started by "init."
The details vary from distribution to distribution; you'll likely want
to take one of the existing scripts and replicate it to support
running your Java program.

Subject: Can't create filenames that contain German characters?
Date: Fri, 26 May 2000 12:33:10 -0300
Hi;
This one's really bugging me.. can't find an answer anywhere. I'm
running Red Hat 6.5, kernel 2.2.5.
If I try to creat a filename that contain a foreign character (such as
hell�) it is created as "hell?". Any foreign character gets converted
to something else.
My old Slackware 1.2 system doesn't have this problem.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Sounds like what you are doing is replicating (by hand) the function

Date: Sat, 27 May 2000 04:12:42 GMT
So, are the types of your functions that you are using in the
real sprintf() call known by the compiler to be signed int's?
If they are some other type, try changing the % escape to the
correct one. If they are int's, try changing their type and
the % escape.
If that doesn't do anything (as I would expect), try
"for(i=0; i<4096; i++) buffr[i]=0;" before the sprint statement
to de-junk the buffer.
If all else fails, you could open a fifo, print to the pipe,
then read the value you printed into the buffer. Yuck. But
if sprintf is really broken, what can you do?
Can you describe the application a little? Is it threaded?
Can you show the problem with < 50 lines of code total? If
so, can you post it here?

Salvador is correct. You do NOT rule thru your representatives.
You select a representative that you feel will best support your
interests but they act on their own. They do not have to do
what the majority of their constituents want (if you are a rich
constituent who could/would give to their campaign coffers, then
they will be more to heed your specific wishes, however). They
are SUPPOSED to do what THEY think is best for their constituents,
which can often blend together.
A Senator is not simply a mouthpiece for the majority of voters
in their districts/states. The US government is NOT designed to
be majority rules. The US government is devised to protect against
the "tyranny of the majority". The whole system is devised to
protect the minority from mob/majority rule.
The public, as several have stated, are by and large stupid and
shortsighted. The government is not supposed to run on opinion
polls, since opinions change with the winds. Majority rules and
majority opinion would merely lead to chaos and MASSIVE violations
of liberty (at any given moment you could likely get a majority
of idiots to agree that the US should be run as a Christian
country, or that a particular set of religious-based laws should
be passed and obeyed by all, irrespective of personal belief/
non-belief, for instance).
We have a Republic. A FEDERAL Republic.

A .tar file is a tarball-- a collection of several files grouped as one.

Corruption in the USA isn't too bad, compared to (from worse to worst)
some South-European, Latin-American and African countries. I think it's
about 10th in the list of least corrupt countries (if you can rely on this sort
