replacing words with words of similar meaning and inserting/removing
commas into the text? I received a 40-line plain text mail where
all the lines are justified on left and right. Every word and comma
is followed by only one space, and every period is followed by two
spaces. The guy is my kid's karate instructor which I don't think is

\_ You aren't planning on running your code on any other processors?

know your architecture and want to find out dynamically, there are
tools that can peek/poke to give you definitive answers, plus you get

It is difficult to configure and its debugging facility totally
blows. I can't believe how braindead sendmail config is, not to
mention its sucky security. Fuck sendmail, use postfix instead.
I got postfix running in a jiffy and I didn't even have to go
through 800 pages of sendmail manpage. Fuck sendmail and

using this for a while but now I find out I can't "use POSIX" for
example in the Perl code, and trying to follow instructions on
the internet for how to load extensions like this doesn't seem to
work. So, maybe someone can help describe what should be done...

the start of each call and at the end of each call. I log by
having a global lock file, lock, write, flush, unlock. This
seems like a bottleneck, is there a better way to log from a
multi-threaded server? Perhaps something like syslogd where I
could send messages to another process that would log for me?
