11/3    What is a good way to delete all the lines in a file after
        a regular expression match.  For example, if I want to do a
        "last" and get output only for this year or month, so I want to
        delete all the lines after "Dec".
        \_ sed /Dec/q file
           That'll delete everything after (but not including) the first
           line matching "Dec".  If you want to delete that line too, you
           can use sed '/Dec/,$d' instead.  --mconst
           \- while a fine answer, awk '/Dec/{exit};{print}' may run
              faster than sed '/Dec/,$d' on large input if the match
           \- while a fine answer, awk '/Dec/{exit};{print}' will run a
              lot faster than sed '/Dec/,$d' on large input if the match
              is early. awk may be easier to tweak to make the matching
              more precise as well. The POWER of AWK. ok tnx.
              more precise as well. ok tnx.
              more precise as well. The POWER of awk. ok tnx.
              \_ Indeed.  You could also use sed -n '/Dec/q;p', if you're
                 not ready for the POWER of AWK.  --mconst
        \_ The easiest way, of course, is to assign this to an intern or the
           new guy.

        "If I have learned one enduring lesson from months of reflection on the
        words of Osama bin Laden, it is that the best defense against World
        War III is neither censoring nor silencing him but reading what he has
        actually written and countering his arguments with better ones. He has
        left a sufficient record that can, and should, be attacked for its
        deficiencies, its lapses, its contradictions, and, above all, its

11/3    In Windows XP, how can I trace all the files called by an executable?
        I'm trying to run Quicken off of my USB thumbdrive by doing this:
        1. Installed a copy (I bought at Fry's) on XPProAtHome machine.
        2. Copied executables to USB thumbdrive.
        3. Used SysInternal's procexp.exe to see what files qw.exe used when
           it was running on XPProAtHome.
        4. Copied some additional dll's and other files that procexp.exe
           highlighted to USB thumbdrive.
        5. Copied additional dll's and other files to appropriate directories
           on XPProAtWork machine.
        6. Ran qw.exe off the thumbdrive using XPProAtWork.
        7. Quicken hangs at splash screen.
        Apparently, just copying the executables and additional dll's and files
        is not sufficient.  Procexpe.exe also highlighted some registry keys in
        use on the XPProAtHome machine, but I haven't tried copying those to
        the registry in XPProAtWork yet.  Before I do that, is this even
        feasible?  I googled on 'tracing files called by executables' but the
        results mostly relate to networking issues.  Any help is appreciated.
        \_ try filemon?
        \_ Why not mount the drive then install onto it?  Doesn't Quicken ask
           where you want to install it?
           \_ But it will still modify the registry of the target machine,
              right?  So will it run if I try to take it to another machine?

                    I want to put the binaries on there so that I can run it

              \_ If you were to live on an isolated desert island where
                 your choices had no effect on other ppl, then this line

                 a place w/ thousands of ppl your choice not to vaccinate
                 your children can have a profound effect on the health
                 of other children. What right do you have to ask other
                 ppl to sacrifice their childrens health?
                 As I said below, once you agree to live in society there
                 is no such thing as an abs. right. Think of it as the

           by the legislature/executive. If the gov feels that the best or
           only way to deal w/ a major health problem is mass vaccination
           and they have proof that the means chosen (mass vaccination) are
           the best or only way to deal w/ the problem, then you have three
           choices - go along w/ the vaccination, get the law repealed OR
           leave society.
            \_ indeed. though I fail to see what relevence this has on this
               discussion.  I would also point out (also somewhat ir-
               relevantly) that there are few places left on the planet not
               claimed as the dominion of some "society" or other, which makes
               that last option increasingly difficult. -phuqm
               \_ If this is a major health problem only option 1 makes sense.
                  Options 2 and 3 suggest that regardless of a finding that
                  this is a major health problem, the kooks have some rights
                  that trump. I'm saying no. Any right the kooks have are
                  subordinate to society's interest in the general welfare.
                  There are plenty of places in this world where society
                  doesn't really reach (different than claimed as territory
                  by some nation).
                  You can't let a bunch of kooks run around and not vaccinate
                  their kids b/c anything less than total vaccination will be
                  ineffective. If the legislature finds that this is a major
                  health problem, I'm willing to defer to that judgment b/c
                  the whole reason they were elected was to make this sort of
                  decisions (via advice from qualified agencies, &c.)
                  \_ Well, I guess it's ok so long as it's someone right
                     thinking like you deciding what is in the best interest
                     of society.
            \_ You are skipping forward to the assumption that this is a
               'major health problem'.  Also, no one ever acknowledged that
               drug companies have sold us plenty of crap over the years that
               causes side effects such as sterility, liver failure, heart
               failure, kidney failure, and death.  Don't worry, it was all
               tested!  Yay!  You're still fucked and can't undo the damage.
               I guess we'll just raise taxes to pay for all the law suits.
               \_ It's major if you're a woman.
               \_ I'm not skipping forward. I'm merely saying that if the
                  gov. finds that this is a major health problem, they have
                  the pwr to act on it w/o having to worry about the rights
                  of the kooks.

11/3    In the good old days, we count 'casuaties,' not 'death' in a conflict.
        I am just wondering do we even keep track of 'casuaties' in Golf War 2?
        Where can we get them?
        \_ http://www.defenselink.mil/news/casualty.pdf
           19,219
        \_ http://www.defenselink.mil/news/casualty.pdf  -- ~15k casualties
        \_ Disappointed that the American death toll is too low?
           \_ Just want to make sure I am comparing apple to apple when I
              am making comprison... I am just wondering what is the
              'casualty rate' of our little Iraqi Advanture here.  My guess
              is that the 'casualty rate' is bit more than 1/20, which is
              pretty high.
              \_ About 14000 casualties. I don't know how you calculate
                 the rate.
                 \_ 14k out of 250k forces in Iraq?
                    \_ But how many have cycled through?
              \_ What were the casualties rates in other wars like WWII or
                 Vietnam War?
        \_ The problem with casualties is that they run the gamut from
           a bump on the head received during combat to blinding and
           maiming.  The number of amputees, as compared to the number
           of deaths, is far higher for this war than for any other.
           \_ Bump on the head?  I thought casualty only counts wounds serious
              enough to take a person out of action.
           \_ I am pretty sure "casualty" is a guy (or gal) that you have
              to evacuate. A RTD (return to duty) kind of scratch or bump
              does not count. -ausman (former Army medic)
              does not count. -ausman (former Army colonel)
              \_ this is what concerns me.  I have been told repeately that
                 many of these 'wounded' would of died even 10 years ago.
                 this translates that these guys are not dead, which is good
                 politically.  But what kind of disabilities would they
                 suffer as result? That is the big cost of our little
                 Iraq war that most people don't think about.

11/3    The Constitution has been amended!  Your new politburo members are:
