Oneliners. Knowledge Center. Master Foo and the Script Kiddie. A stranger from the land of Woot came to Master Foo as he was eating the morning meal with his students. “I hear y00 are very l33t,” he said. “Pl33z teach m3 all y00 know.” Master Foo's students looked at each other, confused by the stranger's barbarous language. Master Foo just smiled and replied: “You wish to learn the Way of Unix?” “I want to b3 a wizard hax0r,” the stranger replied, “and 0wn ever3one's b0xen.” “I do not teach that Way,” replied Master Foo. The stranger grew agitated. “There is a path,” said Master Foo, “that might bring you to wisdom.” The stranger bowed and left. Days passed, then months. Years later, the stranger from the land of Woot returned. “Damn you!” “Good,” said Master Foo. “Are you crazy?”
Master Foo smiled. On hearing this, the stranger was enlightened. Copy files and directories recursively with tar | UNIX | Tech-Recipes. Copying a directory tree and its contents to another filesystem using tar will preserve ownership, permissions, and timestamps. A neat trick allows using tar to perform a recursive copy without creating an intermediate tar file. To copy all of the files and subdirectories in the current working directory to the directory /target, use: tar cf - * | ( cd /target; tar xfp -) The first part of the command before the pipe instruct tar to create an archive of everything in the current directory and write it to standard output (the – in place of a filename frequently indicates stdout). The -p option in the tar extraction command directs tar to preserve permission and ownership information, if possible given the user executing the command.

Boring jobs switch our minds to autopilot, say scientists - and it means we can seriously mess up some simple tasks. Monotonous duties switch our brain to "rest mode", whether we like it or not, the researchers report in Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences. They found mistakes can be predicted up to 30 seconds before we make them, by patterns in our brain activity. The team hopes to design an early-warning brain monitor for pilots and others in "critical situations".
The scientists say the device would be particularly suitable for monotonous jobs where focus is hard to maintain - such as passport and immigration control. Mistakes 'foreshadowed' "We might be able to build a device (that could be placed) on the heads of people that makes these easy decisions," said Dr Eichele, of the University of Bergen, Norway. "We can measure the signal and give feedback to the user that your brain is in the state where your decisions are not going to be the right one. " Workplace safety. Bumblebee - Boobs.

I, Cringely . The Pulpit . Keeping the Peace. The video player died in our minivan a few weeks ago, sending my kids into a death spiral of Wiggles withdrawal. In retrospect, it would probably have been better never to have the video player, but it seduced us with the promise of hypnotically transfixed children who would never again ask, "Are we there yet? " I had to have it back, only better. So I built a video server for the minivan. What I wanted for the van was the equivalent of what we had already working at home, where MythTV running on a $300 Linux box stores every episode of Arthur, Dora the Explorer, Dragon Tales, Rolie Polie Olie, Cyberchase (my son Channing's favorite), Jimmy Neutron (my favorite), and many other programs -- more than 500 shows in all. It's squeaky-clean content in every sense, including the best of all -- no peanut butter fingerprints.
I just had to find a way to move this capability to the car for almost no money. Though not advertised as such, the PSP is EXTREMELY water-resistant. System recovery with Knoppix.

You have to like an author who has the testicles (or ovaries) to walk away from Harvard Business School Press because it wouldn’t let him use the word “asshole” in his title. (HBS Press also turned me down once, but I digress...) Robert Sutton is the author who did this; he’s a professor at Stanford in the engineering school. While I am not a big fan of profanity, “asshole” is the only word that delivers the proper connotative meaning in some situations, so forgive me for using it in this posting. I have an early copy of Sutton’s book, The No Asshole Rule: Building a Civilized Workplace and Surviving One That Isn’t , and it’s the definitive guide to understanding, counteracting, and not becoming an asshole.
I am qualified to make this judgment because (a) I’ve been an asshole a few times and (b) been a victim of assholes more than a few times. The first step is to recognize who is an asshole. A second method is to use Suttons’s dirty-dozen list of everyday asshole actions: Face your past. Download. Vim is available for many different systems and there are several versions.

It is a markup language. It lacks all necessary functionality (like if-else branching, variables, loops) to program in it, and in fact, even comparing it to a programming language completely misses the point of HTML’s beautiful simplicity.
Truth: Many managers in IT work environments understand HTML is a kind of programming language. And CSS is, too. Telling them that “HTML programming” is a contradiction in itself will only add to the confusion and should be avoided. Fiction: In a programming language, you can express your thoughts; you can permanently lay down a rule system which can then be recreated on other machines, over and over. Truth: Many IT managers know that programming is the thing that you do in some kind of text editor, with long lines of something called “code” which nobody understands really except the programmer (who was born with the talent of understanding it).
Truth: Real programmers use Java. Xen's no killer app. U.S. Office of Personnel Management - Operating Status. Solaris Tips and Tricks. Solaris Tips. One simple way to make Solaris a little bit more secure is to create /root directory with permissions 700 like in Red Hat. In this case anything you put into this directory is visible only to root and even wrong permissions are not visible to outsiders.
