[OT] WTD: P2/400 CPU

2001-01-14 Thread Shevek
Does anyone have a P2/400MHz CPU available (near Farringdon) at start of play this morning? A server's just freaked one and is going to need one pretty damn soon. This is if CEX don't have any in stock. Ta. S. -- Shevek I am the Borg. sub AUTOLOAD { ($s=$AUTOLOAD)=~s/.*::/

ery week, the junk pile-up on a production server won't do much more than double or treble the hard disk usage of the OS, which will be small compared to the user data, and is still in a small order of magnitude. I bet you have libc5 and libc6 installed... It's still smaller than win2k

Teaching Java and Perl

2001-01-07 Thread Shevek
aving taught both, I can say that I would far rather teach undergraduates Java for many reasons. In fact, they'd probably be better learning something even more restrictive and more trivial. That doesn't make it good. -- Shevek I am the Borg. sub AUTOLOAD { ($s=$AUTOLOAD)=~s/.*:://; eval
