12/27 I have two subversion respositories A and B. I want to import the
contents of A into B and get rid of A, but I don't want to lose
the version history. Is there anyway to do this? tia.
\_ what version control system?
\_ dumbass - "I have two subversion respositories A and B."
\_ not all vcs are created equal
\_ Have you not heard of subversion? You're sounding stupider
by the post.
\_ And it all went quiet in the city
and the wind blew down the road
someone cried out SUBVERT
and the people all went cold
\_ never heard of it
\_ Who's on first?
\_ I'm using subversion:
http://subversion.tigris.org
In cvs/rcs days this sort of thing was easy, I'd just copy
the ,v files, but subversion uses BerkeleyDB so I'm exactly
sure how to go about doing this.
\_ Around 1.1 or 1.2 SVN began to use FSFS as default. However,
it's not the file format that's complicated, it's the two
repositories. Do you want to retain the date of the histories
as well as the revisions themselves? You may want to look at
the vss2svn project, which is some perl scripts for doing this
for vss.
\_ No I just wanted to revisions, not the dates. The post
below was basically what I was looking for. Thanks.
\_ http://subversion.tigris.org/servlets/ReadMsg?list=users&msgNo=40600
\_ Thanks. I figured it out from the manual as well:

I just had to dump the two respositories and then load
them back into a new repository. This preserved all of
the version information I wanted.

12/27 I am seeking recommendations for a CDMA phone with good voice quality
and reception/transmission. I've been through a couple phones since
attempting to replace my old Kyocera 2135 and both sucked by
comparison. I don't care about camera and other bling. |

12/27 I recieved a music CD for a Christmas present, and though it did not
trojan my box, it would not play normally in the CD drive. I was able
to do DAE on it, but is there any way to find what sort of protection
is being used?
\_ Usually googling for the exact title in quotes + "copy protection"
will find you a lot of web boards with good info. Alcohol120% and
Daemontools should be good enough to deal with whatever
it turns out to be. -John
\_ Well like I said, I was able to do DAE on it in spite of the
protection. Google fails me because it's an uncommon CD with a
fairly common name.
\_ have you tried to play it on a different OS, such as Linux/BSD?
\_ No, I got DAE working and was satisfied. Does Linux have a
machanism for identifying CD corruption mechanisms? |

12/27 Brokeback Mountain: Rape of the Marlboro Man
http://worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=48076
\_ The author of this article wants it so bad in the ass
\_ Wow, what insight. By this single "I know you are but what am I"
argument, you've moved the level of discourse about the topic all
the way to 2nd -- no 3rd grade. Kudos sir!
\_ He's giving the author his deserved respect.
\_ Why does Ang Lee like to make gay movies so much?
\_ Powerful human dynamics?
\_ gotta love right-wing fearmongering. yeah, homosexuality is
really going to be the end of Western civilization. uh-huh.
\_ What I love is that all of his arguments revolve around how it
destroys (the gay guy's) marriage. He seems to miss the point
that the loveless marriage is a product of the unaccepting
society. So he's either being a dumbass or intentionally
deceiving his audience... almost like Hollywood.
\_ "loveless marriage is a product of the unaccepting
society." Can you explain that?
\_ If the guy is gay, but can't express that, he may enter
into a marriage because that's "what you do". But his
sexual needs are being denied in such a marriage, leading
to resentment and unhappiness.
\_ Can't he just stay single? Don't you think marrying
someone you don't love at all is kind of irresponsible?
\_ Perhaps he could. Perhaps his family expected it
of him. Perhaps he hadn't even considered the
possibility that he was homosexual, but wasn't happy
with what he had. As for "irresponsible", people
do a lot of irresponsible things when they don't
know who they really are or what they really want.
\_ Perhaps he just likes a little anal on the side.
There are a lot of straight marriages that end
up like this. I don't see what homos have to do
with it. And don't try to excuse irresponsible
behavior by "people do that"... oh yeah people
rape others when they aren't getting enough sex,
quit your moralizing.
\_ Wow. I'm amazed how quickly the psychos come
out on this issue. Mmm.. homo sex == rape!
You r0x0r, duud1!!
\_ lol ya rly like wtf? btw learn to read.
\_ If you are not sure, or not ready to make a
commitment for life, don't get married. Why
is it that people take marriage so lightly
these days?
\_ "These days"? You haven't given this subject
much research or thought, have you?
\_ If you think you have something to say,
try saying it.
\_ How 'bout we give gays the option to
make that commitment, and then we'll
see how lightly it is taken. Do you
think kids out of high school getting
married are considering it fully?
Do you think that the dynamic discussed
here contributes greatly to the freq
of divorce? I suggest you are laying
too much blame at Ang Lee's feet.
\_ Yes, if we are ready to send an
18 year old to war where he needs
to make life and death decisions,
then he should be able to consider
a marriage decision seriously.
At 18 you are a grown up, have the
rights and responsibilities of a
grown up.
\_ E_TOOSHORT. This conversation
is at an end.
\_ You've been trying to branch
out on irrelevant topics. I
was just sticking to the
original discussion.
\_ E_TOOSTUPID. Can't handle
the TOOSHORT exception.
\_ you are cute.
\_ Okay, I missed this sentence:
"Do you think that the dynamic
discussed here contributes greatly
to the freq of divorce?"
Yes, too much emphasis on sexual
desires, and personal fulfilment
as opposed to love, commitment,
loyalty and responsibility.
\_ I suggest that as the stigma
of homosexuality diminishes and
as the acceptance of homosexual
marriage/unions grow, this VERY
SMALL portion of the total of
failed marriages will all but
vanish. Marriages don't fail
because of homosexuality.
\_ Dude, it's irrelevant whether
the third person is a guy or
a girl. The guy got married
and had kids, and then went
on adulterous "fishing trips"
to Brokeback Mountain for 2
decades.
\_ I agree with you here, but
if it weren't about a
homosexual couple, 1) it
wouldn't be made into a
movie and 2) you wouldn't
bother thinking about it.
\_ There are countless
movies about marriage
and affairs and love
that could not be.
\_ And you get upset
about every one of
them...
---------------------------\
No, I just don't agree that the statement,
"loveless marriage is a product of the
unaccepting society" applies here.
\_ The person who posted that was extrapolating.
I haven't seen the movie, so I can't say one
way or the other if that's what the movie said,
but I've tried to suggest scenarios that
expound upon his statement. If you just
reject it, then fine. I'm done walking
you through.
\_ That's "what you do".
\_ Honoring your marital vows is "what
you do". Loving (an action, not state
of mind) your wife and children is
"what you do".
\_ Indeed. Funny, though, some people,
for whatever reason, don't or can't.
If that's your only complaint here,
then this is a long discussion about
nothing. I think you're just creeped
out by homosexuality.
\_ actually the long discussion is
because some people here are
rather presumptuous and mis-
interpreted my comment.
\_ Author was obviously disappointed by the lack of pudding eating
scenes and lashed out in an unfulfilled, unloved crime of passion. |

\_ you forgot yakuza
\_ The Russian mob already won.
\_ I thought it's Ukrainian.
\_ Why do you hate Ukranians?
\_ cause they collaborated with the Nazis to kill us Jews.
\_ Charles Lindberg and many famous Americans loved Hitler,
maybe we should have jailed them or something.
\_ if that is the case, you have a lot of people to hate

12/27 Creative Commons needs $50k in donations to maintain tax exempt status
in the US:
http://creativecommons.org/support

other than draft up various licenses for people to use? Where is
this money going to go? Why shouldn't I donate to the EFF instead? |

12/27 I'm trying to help out with my mother in law's computer problems. She
has two Windows XP computers (one desktop, one tablet pc) that she was
using for her job before she retired. The computers themselves are old
and her workplace doesn't want them back but they are installed with
all this corporate Novell stuff that I don't know anything about and
her account on the computer has very restricted permissions (she can't
even install any new programs on it). we can't get the admin password.
Is there a way to make these computers usable without reinstalling
the operating system?
\_ Obtain a copy of BART PE rescue disk. You can download this off of
a site or emule or torrent or what-have-you. I think the complete
ISO is about 720 megs big, so you'll have to stick it on a DVD
or overburn a CD-R. Boot it up, if you got the full version there's
a password recovery and regedit util on it. You can also get the
admin password recovered through a freeware NTPassword recovery
disk: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd which also works
(I've used it many times). The computers will most likely not
have floppies or support booting off of it, so you'll have to
burn the CD version. No GUI though like BART PE (which is
essentially running WindowsXP through a CD). I suppose from there
you can see if you can revert the machine back to its original
state before they stuck Novell Netware on it (original save
point under system restore).
\_ From my experience with Novell, "usable": yes. "usable without
tearing your hair out": no. Novell tends to, and has as long as I
can remember, always put a lot of junk into the OS. I'd blow the
OS away unless you wanna play "pick the junk out of the registry"
for the next few months. If you want to just go with the "turn off
Novell" option, try to recover the admin password. There are a few
utilities on the internet that claim to help you do this, but I have
been largely unsuccessful in actually getting them to work. - jvarga
\_ This is fine and all for the desktop, but you might have trouble
finding a copy of Windows XP Tablet Edition to install on the
tablet. I doubt you can get the restore CDs from the co.
\_ Recover the admin password. STFW.
