I'm adding temporary join moderation in order to prevent this happening again. At this rate SPAM bots will become the most intelligent life on the planet. :-/

Shalom Would anyone be interested in working out a deal with me to allow me to login to a big endian computer and build/run some tests? My offer will consist of giving you an investment in Ebenezer Enterprises. I don't need to have 24/7 access to it. Regards, Brian Wood Ebenezer Enterprises http://www.webEbenezer.net

O'Reilly imitates StackOverflow, apparently

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marsee Henon <marsee(a)oreilly.com> Date: Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 9:07 AM Subject: Announcing O'Reilly Answers - A useful site that's, well, a different kind of animal To: kcpm-moderate(a)davidnicol.com If you would like to view this information in your browser, click here<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1ztc7jpbda7th8krnim2gp5rr2ptu31j8sankctg8> . [image: O'Reilly]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z1ned04k39sdtc1tp7itdesev3encfe54i8qvofg> Forward this announcement<http://post.oreilly.com/f2f/9z1zrg1lrekgq325nkbbi841n4fjestef3fjfu75280> Hi, Can you share this announcement with anyone you think will be interested? Thanks! Announcing O'Reilly Answers A useful site that's, well, a different kind of animal We're launching the beta of O'Reilly Answers<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zbaq862nfpmbm4pird0rrkmopqkovl1h63b7h4u8>, and I'm inviting you to be part of it. In brief, O'Reilly Answers is a community site for sharing knowledge, asking questions, and providing answers that brings together our customers, authors, editors, conference speakers, and Foo (Friends of O'Reilly). *Why Answers, and why now?* O'Reilly is at the center of an amazing exchange of knowledge sharing and idea generation. We've created the usual means of facilitating communication between customers, O'Reilly folks, and the outside experts we call "alpha geeks" who contribute to O'Reilly books, conferences, and websites. We can connect through reader reviews, errata submissions, book forums, blog comments, Get Satisfaction, our customer service department, and more. But too much of this conversation is siloed, and not enough is public (e.g., discussions on our internal mailing list for editors, or personal responses to customer questions). O'Reilly Answers will be the place where much of that communication happens from this point forward. *Why participate?* The lofty reason: Like O'Reilly, you want to "change the world by spreading the knowledge of innovators." That's our mission, and we've been fortunate enough to build a community of passionate, committed people who love to learn and share their knowledge as they work towards a better world for us all. The "nice, but what's in it for me" reasons: reputation, recognition, and rewards. *Get Recognized:* "Find interesting people" is a core activity at O'Reilly, and an important component of our success. We see Answers as an important way to discover and connect with our next authors, online instructors, videographers, and speakers. *Build Your Reputation:* You've learned a lot, why not get credit for all that knowledge? As your submissions to Answers are voted up, your personal reputation on the site increases. At launch, your reputation will be based solely on your participation in O'Reilly Answers. Soon, we're expanding across oreilly.com, so the book errata and book reviews you've submitted, books you've registered, and conferences you've attended, will add reputation points. You'll also earn badges<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zpbm873lamu78v2pp0lun0dfka730ce095ntug28>to mark accomplishments and milestones. *Earn Rewards:* Glory is great, but discounts and deals are nice, too. We want to reward your contributions to the O'Reilly community. Shortly we'll have a point-based system in place that you can redeem for books, training, courses, and conferences. Details soon, but in the meantime, any actions you take now will count towards your total points. *This is just v.1:* The best part of any project on the web is watching it take on a life of its own. With that in mind, we're looking forward to *your* suggestions about where O'Reilly Answers should go, what features should be added, and what benefits and rewards we can offer all of you. I'd like to acknowledge the projects that have proceeded Answers and inspired us, such as SitePoint Forums (we distribute their books), StackOverflow, Yahoo! Answers, Knol, and many others. They're great resources, and we think the O'Reilly community can create a useful site that's, well, a different kind of animal. One last thing: O'Reilly Answers<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1z6jusoc4v5s3lfq842rk8q2klfltqk7tec94lcqo>is in beta and you may encounter bugs. We're still working on many improvements to the site, such as feeds for each tag, but would love to hear your suggestions for features and improvements. Please send any suggestions/questions/bug reports to answers(a)oreilly.com. Until next time-- Marsee Henon [image: Spreading the knowledge of innovators]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zls67sgnfh1ifpomd62pu7o5ju110gmontoba980>[image: oreilly.com]<http://post.oreilly.com/rd/9z1zipi5nprisd1a5j3oidgk53orvfugp3k652us44o> You are receiving this email because you are a User Group contact with O'Reilly Media.

Decompilers
by Jack 03 Nov '09

03 Nov '09

Any one here ever use any decompilers in Linux? I have a Mac OSx driver, I've been considering reverse engineering. Since the company, which shall remain nameless is the biggest jerk in regards to supporting Linux and they make certain hardware that is top notch and there's a huge clamoring for support in the community, and some guy in China just contacted for help in making a Linux driver for it. So, I'm dusting off the old peripheral and pulling out my tracers and sniffers and getting ready to restart an old driver project of mine. This is a high end device and I'd like to make sure every part of it works. I thought decompiling the Mac driver might be a good place to get some ideas, if we hit a bottleneck. I'd hate to have to develop my own decompiler. Yuck, that's a 1000 hours of work or more. I want the option to peek under the hood if we can't make this work 100%. I'd rather do as much as I can without peeking at anyone's code, but I can't even get complete specs on the chips inside the device. It's almost a total blackbox. So, any one have recommendations? Brian J.

LAMP?
by Jonathan Hutchins 30 Oct '09

30 Oct '09

I've seen a number of variants of the Linux, Apache, MySQL, {Perl|PHP} CMS. I can understand replacing MySQL with Postgress. Doing the web interface in Java though? That seems a bit out of the ordinary.

Posgress DBA needed
by Jonathan Hutchins 29 Oct '09

29 Oct '09

Needed somebody with experience administering/optimizing Posgress DB systems. This particular one is being run on RedHat in a very Unix-savvy but new to Linux shop. Need to be able to review the setup, advise them of possible problems and recommend configuration changes where needed. It would be nice if your credentials looked good to the PHB, but that's secondary.
