4/6     My company is evaluating version control systems. Our two candidates
        are Perforce and Subversion. Anyone worked with both and have good
        arguments one way or the other? (These are the only two options we
        have.) We're most interested in client performance, ease of use, and
        reasonable branching.

7/19    For NetTrek fans - MacTrek, a Native NetTrek implementation for
        OS X (its a UB as well):

11/7    A lot of XML documents contain things like:
        xmlns:xi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XInclude"
        Isn't it bad practice to have an IT infrastructure depend on a
        resource hosted on a machine that may have down-time?
        \_ That's not a "real" URL, it's what's called a URN.  Basically it's
           just a unique string to say "this is the unique namespace which 'xi'

3/30    Does anyone know a good, free, C++ code formatter?  We'd like to
        enforce some semi-arbitrary coding guidelines.  (Like, a keyword
        should not be on the same line as a closing brace.)

           \_ Cool, this looks like it might help.  Thanks. (Does
              anyone else have suggestions?) -op

6/13    ok, memorizing all these passwords is driving me insane. I
        know this has been asked before but I cant find it: whats the
        best way to keep a password-protected file of very sensitive
        information? in this case, all my other passwords. thanks

5/19    I need a simple plug-in 128-bit (or so) C encryption library.
        Semmetric key is easiest, but public key is ok if that's the only
        thing I can get.  Any ideas?

2/25    Looking for a commandline Unix/Mac util to convert Real Media (RM)
        video to .mov (first choice), .mpeg (second), or .avi (third).
        I would like to watch a series of MIT Physics lectures on my DVD
        player rather than on my computer. Lectures here:

12/7    Sure, call me crazy, but is there a way to run Perl on a PDA?
        I stfw, and all I found was a 2001 article on http://Perl.com saying
        that it's impossible, but in tech terms, this is like finding a
        1930s article saying it's impossible to send a man to the moon.
        \_ uh... which PDA?  I don't see why not, and probably the only
           issue is limited memory.

10/6    Is there a UNIX command line that uses an SMTP server to send out
        email? Something like:

                  sam@yahoo.com -password abcdefg
