If you're running on Windows, Vista/W7 has `clip` as an equivalent to pbcopy. One project I was working on, the sysadmin didn't give us any access to the server, so we had to instruct him to use git each time an update went through (daily).

+1. I find that their psychedelics (Lynton Samuel Dawson, Voyage 34, Staircase Infinities, No Reason To Live No Reason To Die, Moonloop) mix quite well with Pink Floyd's (A Saucerful of Secrets, Atom Heart Mother, Set the controls...). Most

What are you aiming to reverse-engineer? Applications written in C/C++? Java/.NET? Aged firmware (8/16 bit asm)? ARM code? I have some experience with the C/C++ part, so I'll try to answer that. Though this is more of a "what to learn in wh

Late Syd Barrett of Pink Floyd was into LSD when his career went off the tracks. Such a shame, he was amazingly good. Another British band, Porcupine Tree, explored LSD in their early works, from "Lynton Samuel Dawson" to the amazing "Voyag

In certain cases, this level of optimization makes perfect sense. In other cases, arguably more common when writing C++, it makes more sense to invest that time in understanding the object model, i.e. what actually happens when you pass a s

Something I came up with when deploying updates to hosts that don't support git, for example, a windows server we have RDC into: alias gdate=date\ +%Y.%m.%d-%H.%M.%S gitzip () { zip -ruv "$(gdate).zip" $(git diff $@ --name-only); }

Your choice. I'll just take YUI Reset, combine it with YUI Base, both of which have already been tested thoroughly, and get a reusable foundation for future use.

The whole point of a Reset is to have a clean slate to start from. Do you really know, and want to know, every case where IE6/Safari3/ObscureBrowser300 adds a default padding/margin, and how that is different from Opera/Firefox/etc? Same

Yeah, that was the context in which the OP was trying to do it. And they're using auth tokens, which, if they're at all competent, cannot be reused to automate it. I'll see what can be done to improve it when I get back home.
