12/7 I'd like to run a program and save the output to a log file
while still seeing the program output on stdout. I tried using
the tee command as in "foo.exe | tee mylog.txt" but tee only
seems to print to stdout every once in a while instead of when
foo.exe generates a line of output. How do I save output to a file
while having every new line of output sent to stdout? Thanks. -emin
\_ The problem is not in tee, but in foo. By default, the stdio
library produces output a line at a time if it's outputting
directly to a terminal, but buffers its output in large chunks
otherwise (see "man setvbuf"). When you pipe foo's output to
another program, it's no longer outputting to a terminal, so it
turns on its buffering. The easiest cure is to create a fake
terminal for it to run on: ssh -t localhost foo.exe | tee mylog.txt
I know, it sucks. The default buffering really ought to be
smarter, or at least configurable. --mconst
\_ foo and tee BOTH buffer, don't they?
\_ Tee actually never buffers its output. Even if it used the
default stdio buffering, though, it wouldn't be a problem
here since it's outputting directly to a terminal. --mconst
\_ what about foo | cat | tee mylog.txt?
\_ That won't help anything. foo is still writing to a
pipe.
\_ The mconst has spoken. Woe to those who will not
listen.
\_ You have to redirect stderr to stdout. In bourne-like shells,
foo.exe 2>&1 | tee log
In csh derivatives, I think it's something like
foo.exe |& tee log
\_ Another possibility you might explore is using 'screen' to run your
process, with screen logging to a log file. SCREEN RULES!!

12/7 Does anyone watch the Chinese-dubbed Korean TV drama on Ch32 10pm
weeknights? Is there an English name for that drama? Thanks.
\_ I've never seen it, but if you describe it, I might be able to
figure out which one it is. Just as a guess, it could be
"Autumn Tale" which was very popular in Japan recently. -jrleek
\_ Thanks, but "Autumn Tale" is the one running on Ch26 about two
years ago, also dubbed in Chinese. It's not the one on Ch32 now.
I watched "Autumn Tale" and liked it. The one on Ch32 now is a
comedy. A guy M1 and and woman W1 lives together in a hut on a
roof of a building. M1 is a jerk. W1 likes M1. M1 likes his
good-looking college friend W2. W2 likes her family friend and
a corporate manager M2. M2 likes his sub-ordinate W1.
\_ While we're at it, what about the one that's the reverse of
Autumn Tale? Ie. a guy and a woman are in love, and eventually
it turns out that they are half-siblings. Anyone knows the name
of that drama? It was also Chinese-dubbed on Ch26 a couple years
ago.
\_ Man, I didn't realize that Korean dramas were so popular.
\_ In Hong Kong, Korean dramas have overtaken Japanese dramas in
the past few years. Consider this: in the Bay Area, there are
three drama time slots in the Chinese TV hours in the evening,
8-9 and 9-10 on Ch26 and 10-11 on Ch32. Two out of the three
slots run Chinese-dubbed Korean dramas, and only one slot
runs Chinese-made drama.
\_ Korean drama is a lot better than the shit that's
produced by Taiwan and HK. Mainland China's produces
extremely good historical dramas, but modern day dramas
can get a bit sensitive, and therefore not that many are
that good. Korean dramas have very good story lines (and
they do it pretty well that they are not lame). Most made
for teen Taiwan dramas especially those with silly and
low class jokes lacks substance. The bar has been raised
by historical (especially JinYong) drama from China, and
Korean dramas. I hardly see any Taiwan drama playing on
the two Chinese stations now, because they just don't
produce anything worth watching.
\_ You call JinYong "historical drama?" I'd call it wugong
action. Not drama.
action. Not drama. And definitely not historical.
\_ I meant historical, AND JinYong dramas...
\_ You may have meant it, but you didn't say it right.
Your language implied JinYong is a kind of historical
drama. -- random English nazi
\_ Hey! I learned all my Chinese history through
JinYong!
\_ Several years ago there was a historical dramas from Taiwan
about Empress Ci Xi, and another one about the old Bao Gong.
Both were very good.
about Empress Ci Xi, and another one about the old judge Bao
Gong. Both were very good.

12/7 Economist article on the slide of the dollar
http://economist.com/opinion/displayStory.cfm?story_id=3446249
\_ What I got out of it:
(1) Dollar falls too far
(2) Foreign banks which keep a lot of dollars (as a currency which
retains value) will convert to Euro / yen
(3) Dollar falls even farther
(4) The U.S. government and consumers just can't buy as much with a
dollar == Inflation
The unmentioned kicker:
The U.S. will beat the shit out of any foreign government which
wants to sell its dollars.
\_ Much as I'd like to see it happen, I don't think the US is going
to start nailing most of Asia and Europe. The countries we are
capable of "beating the shit out of" are most likely not the
ones holding a lot of dollars, or are they? -John
\_ Are Dubya and friends working on ways to make it economically/
politically painful for foreign governments to sell their US$?
\_ what for? dubya and friends want the US dollar to fall,
just not in an uncontrolled panicky way. foreign governments
all want the US dollar not to fall too much, but they also
don't want to be the one left holding the bag.
\_ Isn't low Dollar good for our exports?
\_ insofar as imported stuff getting more expensive in the U.S.
is good and domestic stuff getting more expensive at a
smaller rate -obviously not an economist
\_ Yes, but our exports are way out of whack vis a vis imports.
\_ true, so what happens to the 90 pct of consumer goods
we buy that are made in china when the renminbi increases
50-100 pct over the value of the dollar?
\_ at most 20 pct. prc government won't let it float
freely but just increase the range where the yuan
is allowed to trade.
\_ That will not be true if the dollar falls a lot,
though. The other plus of a weak dollar is that it
makes it less expensive to pay back the debt we are
borrowing. The US will raise the dollar once Iraq
stabilizes. Right now, we want it weak since we are
borrowing a lot for the war.
\_ It creates pain for holders of our treasuries,
but does it make it less expensive for us?
The debt is still in dollars and dollars are
what we have. No? It only becomes less
expensive for us if there's inflation?
\_ If we borrow Euros then we have to borrow fewer
of them. A falling dollar is much the same as
inflation.
\_ don't understand what you are saying.
all our debt are denominated in dollars.
\_ Yes, US don't export much anyway. The main effect
would be inflation since we buy lots and lots of
stuff from overseas.
stuff from overseas. I mean, what does US export?
Mainly like food stuff. But yes, letting dollar
slide is the least painful way for US to get out
of its fiscal and economic mess.
\_ Uhm, the U.S. is the single largest exporting country
in terms of dollar value. We are basically the
bread basket to the world. We are also the largest
importing country in the world. We just simply
import more than we export in terms of dollars.
\_ the difference isn't that much either, only
about 500 billion a year. US economy is
like 10 trillion.
\_ Try spending 5% more than you make every
year and see how long you can get away
with it. Then again, the average American
consumer is probably doing just that right
now. Oh a cold rain is gonna fall!
\_ Well, we could just not repay the debt.
It's not like this is the first time an
industrialized country just reniged on
it's debt. Since we're the proverbial
300lb gorilla in the room, you think
anyone is really going to mess with us
if we just say "sorry, we're just not going
to honor all those treasury bonds"?
Sure, there would be economic repercussions,
but it isn't like we'll be invaded and I
doubt that other countries will just stop
investing in us. After all, we are the
largest market in the world.
\_ Do we do that against US based holders
of those bonds? If not, how do you tell
who is who? In any case, as dire as
the current situation is, I don't
think we're at the stage where such
a drastic and disastrous measure
needs to be taken.
\_ Nobody invaded Argentina when they
defaulted on their debt either, they
just suffered mightily economically.
As we will if we defualt on our debt.
\_ How about software exports? Is it big $ in the big
picture of things?
\_ what you missed in the last paragraph:
"American bond yields (long-term interest rates) would soar,
quite likely causing a deep recession."
Another article quoted that 50 pct of new mortgages are
variable interest rates. In fact, Greenspan himself urged
consumers to borrow @ variable interest rates. When bond
interest rates start to soar, mortgage interest will soar,
and the number of defaults and bankruptcies will be epic.
Don't be a home-owner when that happens. Oh, not to
mention interest rates for all other debts: equity lines,
credit cards, etc. The US consumer is deeply deeply in
debt, and when interest rates start to rise, the picture
won't be pretty.
Oh, the other thing you missed. the US will not do anything
to the Asian countries which will do the majority of the
dollar reserve sell-off. China which has $515 bn in reserve
has already announced a planned sell-off that will likely
accelerate as the dollar fars further.
\_ Oh look, Mr. Housing Bubble Is Going To Pop is back
with a better argument. Are you still bitter that
you didn't buy a house in the Bay Area back when
you could still afford it?
\_ Hmmmm, if nobody can afford to buy a house in the bay
area in the future, wouldn't that mean that house prices
will FALL in the future?!?!?!
\_ This has nothing to do with the housing bubble. This
is about overall massive recession of the US economy,
which will take housing prices with it. If you have
a house, and you're making 5 pct 30 yr fixed mortgage
payments on it, more power to you. Just hold on to
your job, and weather the storm.
\_ US is stuck in Iraq. All our allies hate our guts.
Nobody will give a damn about us "beating the shit out of"
anyone.
\_ Troll. Has the US announced war on China?
\_ I like US dollar falling. It makes my parents very rich
when they move to the US. |

12/7 I am thinking of buying my own 20" LCD screen and use it at work
(I currently have a 19" CRT). I spend 8+ hours a day looking
at the computer screen at work and very little at home. The
LCD at work would do me more good than one at home. But are
there any reasons that I shouldn't? I mean political reasons?
Will it give people bad impression? That I am too rich? Paid
too high? (not). I am in a medium sized company with my own
cubicles. Has anyone done anything similar?
\_ I did this before. I bought two 17" ones instead though since
2x 1280x1024 is more pixels than 1x 1600x1200 and costs less,
too. Now the company switched over to LCD, so I threatened them
that if I don't have company provided LCD monitors on my desk
tomorrow, I won't be working tomorrow since I'm taking mine home.
Just asking wasn't working, but above method worked like charm.
Make sure to fill out "personal property" forms. Now I have 3
LCD monitors at home :p
\_ Don't forget to liberally engrave it with "Personal Property of
$OP". Seriously. People will get used to seeing it on your
desk and when you leave the company you want to make damned
sure they don't appropriate it.
\_ I can see the Dilbert cartoons already, where people are ranked
by the size of their LCD screens. "Dogbert got the 25" Apple
Media Display! I'm so mad!"
\_ "My LCD is larger and lasts longer than yours."
\_ Engineers drive BMWs to work. Why do you worry about a false
impression of showing off just because of a 20" LCD?
\_ I drive a beat-up '89 Ranger and I might just beat op up for
bringing in the monitor just for being a gear geek.
\_ gear geek for having a nice screen in a computer job? come on.
maybe op will use his superior eyesight to kick your ass
in 25 years.
\_ Instead of enlarging your LCD screen you should enlarge your penis,
if you have one. I have a whole bunch of email that claims that it
works.
\_ I heard of one company that went bankrupt because some guy decided
to get an LCD screen. When that happened all the other engineers
needed to one-up him and started demanding better and larger
screens. This had a cascading effect which led to things like
ergonomically stylized wireless keyboards, really expensive
wireless optical mice, corinthian leather chairs, venice marbletop
desks, and Le Blanc pens as standard issue. Don't do it, for the sake
of the company!
\_ The OP says he's thinking about buying his own, not asking the
company to buy it.
\_ It's called humor. Might want to look into it. Maybe you're
like Data, need to buy yourself a humor chip and install it.
I heard Best Buy will do the install for a nominal fee.
\_ Yes, but this rather assumes that your comment was funny
to non-retards.
\_ Touche, Mon Crapitan!
\_ no no no. FIRST make sure you have the DRM crack on
hand so you can make jokes about copyrighted material,
THEN get the chip install.
\_ I can totally see that happening. At my last university lab
job, I got one of the first 20" dell LCDs and suddenly
everyone was stopping in the doorway saying, "wow neat". In
a few months, the entire floor had LCDs galore, in both our
research group and the IT group down the hall.
\_ There is nothing wrong with bringing your own stuff like this,
and anyone who has a problem with it should get a life. I brought
in my own UPS because I was sick of the power outages, so now
my Sun has an uptime of > 400 days. The biggest worry I would
have is having it stolen. Things like laptops and nice LCD screens
are prime targets if you have a problem with stolen stuff at work.
\_ Lots of people bring in their own laptops, but I personally
think doing this would be seen as eccentric.
\_ Did you ask work if they would buy you one?
\_ Just bring it, but I think you shouldn't have more important
personal crap at work (unless you're self-employed and it's in
your own office) than you can quickly shove into a cardboard box
and carry out the door. Shit happens. -John
\_ keep an expandable backpack in the office! that's how I used
to borrow a DLP projector for movie night instead of doing
paperwork. ;-)
\_ By now I just don't take any more stuff to work than I can
drop into my laptop bag in 2 minutes. It's never happened
to me, but I've seen people walked out pretty quickly and
ruthlessly for the stupidest of reasons. -John
\_ wouldn't fluff the boss under his desk?
\_ No, violated the company handbook section prohibiting
execution style murders of people asking stupid
questions.
\_ I had a concealed carry permit and everything. Just
because I took my Desert Eagle .50 magnum out and started
stroking it lovingly was no reason for them to call
security and have me thrown out like that!
\_ That wasn't your DE you were stroking.
\_ Well DUUUH, it was a CONCEALED permit. They couldn't
see it. -John
\_ I've done it. Just make sure you'll be able to get it out easily
if you need to. Check with your manager if you need to fill out
any personal equipment forms, etc. Keep your receipt. --jameslin |

12/7 Optimization time: gprof shows 310k calls to a certain constructor
(a very simple, very important object that is often stack-allocated
into large arrays- eg "MyObject msgs[1000];"). Rather than calling
the constructor 1000 times, is there a way to have a special array ctor
that's called (once) and zeroes out the array en masse? TIA.
\_ Geezus, why are you constructing 310k objects? Make a static array
of objects at the beginning of runtime.
\_ I am, when possible. It's a realtime system (= no dynamic memory
allocation) so e.g. several queue objects have to buffer
about 15k messages statically. The rest are open to optimization,
but a specialized array constructor (if it exists) would be nice.
(nb: by "nice" I mean "not at all critical")
Oh, and if it helps for those in a similar situation: MyObject
contains a couple small arrays; it's much faster to zero these out
manually with a for loop than with memset(). -op
\_ Man, I hate people like you. Why didn't you give the complete
environment information in the first place? What type of
RTS system are you using and in what form factor? How much
total RAM do you have and what form is it in? And why the hell
are you using an OO language for small RTS apps?
\_ Sorry, I was just curious if C++ had a specialized ctor for
objects created in an array; I didn't realize I was creating
a tone of urgency. Anyway, system is not resource-
constrained at all (P3 in a VXI chassis, 512M ram, etc) &
I'm coming to the conclusion that I can't just define
MyObject::MyObject[] ().
\_ Yes you can, you can overload new[].
\_ Ok, this might be helpful; can you elaborate? What
would the constructor declaration look like?
\_ If you want the array zeroed out without any object construction
occuring, there are a few things you can do:
(1) Create a default constructor which doesn't do anything
(2) Overload new[] as suggested above to accomplish this
(3) Allocate the space for the array using malloc or calloc instead
of new and then use placement new to do the construction.
Specifically, placement new lets you construct an object into
a memory location you have allocated yourself. The benefit of
this is that your program would only need to spend time
constructing an object when you want to put it in the array
instead of when you allocate the whole array. -emin |

12/7 I want to make a donation to the school. In the past, I have always
donated to the Engineering School. Anyone have any other suggestions?
http://colt.berkeley.edu/urelgift/index.html
\_ I would suggest donating to Professor Dusenberg, unfairly hounded
out of his NIH grants by the scientific establishment for daring
to challange the orthodoxy on AIDS, but I cannot seem to find
him on the campus website anymore. Did he finally get run all
the way off campus? What happened to him?
\_ Try spelling his name right, troll. -tom
\_ Oh, okay! Douchebag! There you go!
\_ Could someone give some context to this?
\_ prof. duesberg is a MCB prof at ucb who says AIDS is not
caused by HIV, AIDS is caused by recreational and
other drugs prescribed by doctors
to treat HIV. he's got a website, there are plenty of
"duesberg is a menace" websites. - danh
\_ Dan, use motdedit! you stomped on my post.
\_ Duesberg. He is still teaching, good. Dusenberg on google
gives many hits. Donate to Prof Duesberg's lab, he is
still trying to do science on very limited money, since
he is frozen out of the grant process by a vengeful
scientific community.
\_ I thought the whole Aids-Virus Myth thing has been
debunked. You actually believe his theories?
\_ No, but I am not really qualified to judge his work
in any case, since I am not a biologist. I do think
he has been treated poorly by the scientific
community.
\_ Well, I am, and he's just full of shit. Duesberg
deserved what he got. It's like someone insisting
that the earth is flat.
\_ Duesberg wants smoking gun evidence, with the
videotape of WMD stockpiles in multiple Iraqi
complexes and a nuclear test. He has against him
a massive amount of circumstantial evidence -
much more than that from Iraq WMDs, and from
those without as much of an agenda as BushCo.
The scientific establishment != the CIA, BushCo.
\_ yet he touts his drug-induced AIDS theory
with much much less than smoking gun evid.
\_ So even though he had done great work in the
past and continues to do great work, he
should be denied funding because he
disagrees with the scientific orthodoxy
on one small matter? I think you have
a really messed up idea of how the
scientific process should work.
\_ why do you think he did great work? -tom
\_ Maybe I'm inclined to give him the benefit
of the doubt on this because he is a
tenured Berkeley professor in the sciences?
Since you have no CV in anything, maybe
you should not be so judgmental. This is
why so many people think you are an asshole.
\_ How is my comment judgemental? pp
made an unfounded assertion; I didn't
assert anything. Asshole. -tom
\_ He is also a member of the National
Academy of Science (found this on his
web page) and his work on retroviruses
and oncogenes is very well known (I work
in immunology).
\_ It doesn't really matter anyway. Duesberg agrees that
something in the blood of an AIDS patient will give
a healthy person AIDS. The scientific community says
it's HIV - Duesberg says it's AZT. Whatever - you'll
still get AIDS anyway.
\_ I don't follow the AIDS 'controversies' very much,
but it wouldn't surprise me if some folks
classified various nasty diseases and malnutrition
syndroms in Africa (which are less 'glamorous' than
AIDS) to get AIDS funding. -- ilyas
\_ I guess you are saying it's possible but aren't
saying whether it's true or not.
\_ I don't know, but being familiar with charity
fraud, I d say it's pretty likely. -- ilyas
\_ So if you have HIV, but you aren't taking any drugs
like AZT, feel free and have as much unprotected
sex as you want.
\_ No. You must wear a condom to protect yourself
from that bad AZT in your partner's sexual fluids.

\_ Other than the geekiness factor, what's the point of running

\_ FreeBSD is a nice OS, and Suns are nice boxes. -John
\_ I guess the point here is that the OP can save himself

on Solaris. Why is he bothering with FreeBSD?
\_ No /usr/ports on Solaris, no pf on solaris.
Ultrasparc boxes are nice and can be easily
jumpstarted w/o all the hassle of pxe.
\_ the reason is the IT here knows nothing about Solaris.
The design team has moved onto Linux. The IT won't
admit they don't know how to admin a Solaris box. And
it is probably cheaper to buy a new PC running Linux than
paying for Sun support. So a few Blade 1000 are sitting

12/7 Followup to the hardware problem yesterday: I down-clocked the
FSB to 100MHz and the problem went away. The memory went from 266->200
the CPU went from 1466->1100, but the AGP and PCI stayed at 33MHz.
Since memtest showed the memory itself is probably OK, and GIMPS showed
no CPU problem, that says to me the AMD 761 Northbridge is the problem.
Thanks to everyone who helped with this tricky problem.
\_ No such thing as a 33MHz AGP (not commercially at least).
\_ Did you have it overclocked in the first place???
\_ No, it was all to spec.
\_ heh, same with my younger brother's computer. He was mighty
pissed he spent ~ 2x on Corsair super-elite CL2

FYI, my Athlon 64 3200+ Newcastle with an Asus mobo and two
sticks of CL3 Kingston 512MB work fine, but it has the same
problem with random games in the dynamic frequency-clocking
mode (I had to fix it to stay at 2.2 GHz).
\_ Where did he buy it from? Or did he assemble it
himself?
\_ Newegg, both DIMMs are the same - it's probably a flaky

12/7 Whatever happened to all the artists that are suppose to sing anti-war
songs like the 70s?
\_ Anti war songs question Our President's authority, and who would
want to do that?
\_ Last March, Joan Baez played at the march in the city. We have a
generation gap where music has fallen to something you listen to
in the background. If you troll for non-marketplace music, you
will find PLENTY of anti-war songs.
\_ Wait till we have been fighting in Iraq for five years. They
are coming.

\_ The hypotenuses of the two big shapes aren't the same. They aren't
true triangles.
\_ exactly. the top hypotenuse does not go through the point (5,2)
whereas the bottom one does. Use the lower left corner as (0,0)
\_ Don't pictures like these usually include a
"Not drawn to scale" fine print? The correct answer is
one of the triangle has a slope of m=2/5 and the other
has a slope of m=3/8.
\_ It is drawn to scale. If you look closely, you'll notice
the long edges of both shapes do not form a straight
line.
\_ There comes a time in everyone's life, when... uh, go ask your
mother...
