2/18    When you need to parse something simple do you usually use (f)lex/yacc
        or just write a recursive-descent parser? I've done both in the past,
        but I can't seem to justify using one approach over the other.
        \_ the point of yacc is so that you can write a grammar for it so that
           when things change you don't have to spend a lot of time
           rewriting your hand-written C/Java recursive-descent parser. For

5/6     I've been out of school for too long.  If I want to write a simple
        compiler, what tools do I need besides yacc and what do they do?
        Thanks a bunch!
        \_ well there's also lex (flex) for the lexical analyzer (tokenizing).
        \_ java or c? if c, lex/flex=good tokenizer. yacc/bison are great
           for grammar. both are LALR so they're pretty powerful.

3/31    Will a mini-ATX board fit in an ATX case?
        \_ I want to say yes, but I'm not sure.  If your google-foo is strong
           the specs for both standards are available online.  You can just
           open them side-by-side and compare.
                \_ Yes, my computer is set up this way. Not all the mounting
                   screws always line up perfectly though, so when installing

9/19    I have filtered my mailbox with
        formail -s spamassassin < mailbox > mailbox.filtered
        Next how do I process the mailbox.filtered file with my procmail
        ruleset to get it to sort the messages based on the SpamAssassin
        score?
        \_ Something with formail and procmail itself, I'd imagine.

8/5     I'm contemplating on getting a set of Cleveland or Ping Irons. What
        are the pros and cons of using graphite vs. steel? And should I get
        flex/regular/stiff? Thanks motd god.
        \_ get steel shafts, and the flex depends on your swing speed which
           is typically measured with your driver and 5-iron.  you can get
           this done at any shop.  and i've used ping irons and cleveland
