ls patch to sort directories first

Hi, a few weeks ago, I had a coworker which wanted to ls and have the directories listed first... He ended up with a bash function : lx() { \ls -FGhl $@ | grep ^d | cat; \ls -FGhl $@ | grep -v '^d\|^t' | cat; } I though better of it and cooked up a patch for ls :

Hello, I was toying with a programmable PCI card and wrote some code which DMAs a small block of data to the host, and then interrupts the host. The host checks the end of the block, and sees if it gets the value it expects. On an SMP P4 (hyperthreaded, with ServerWorks chipset) FreeBSD 4.8

If you've got a small enough amount of traffic, you could use tcpdump to snarf the headers and then use your favourite scripting languge to look for repeated sequence numbers (retransmits) and repeated acks (lost packets); but I suspect this would be too slow for most purposes. Yeah, we

These types of statistics aren't kept. Generally, they are used only by network researchers, who hack their stacks to get them. They usually do not make it into commercial product distributions for performance reasons, and because every byte added to a tcpcb structure is one byte less that

I don't know if this a widespread opinion, but I believe that saving core files in backup tapes is a waste of time and space, often a big waste. Consider that Emacs itself can fill hundred of megs of disk space with just one core dump, that if you don't bother to debug, it will likely sit there
