| integral | It's like they were set out by a small team of people who'd never targetted a VM before. |
| Daveman | You noticed :p |
| Ramattack | if you have a cdb file for knowing whose valid email you have for validatin against it and knowing whose to accept and whose not... when you add a new email one or remove it... how the files are queried? or that moment the proccess could hang |
| Botje | GumbyBRAIN: trampoline |
| GumbyBRAIN | a cow. A trampoline. Together, they fight crime. |
| Botje | yay1 |
| Daveman | YES! |
| integral | eww, eww, eww, (executable stack)-- |
| Daveman | D: |
| Prof_Vince | ahah you got it again |
| Daveman | :D yeah :/ man, I did that two days ago, but it was more impressive :( speaking of which |
| Ramattack | imagine you are going to modify something on a text file |
| nanonyme | "Useless use of reference constructor in void cotext oops |
| integral | nanonyme: You used a reference constructor in void context. |

| Daveman | slaps Chris62vw around a bit with a large Gumbybrain |
| GumbyBRAIN | ah, i just noticed that buu is large with the public part of the gumbybrain. |
| nanonyme | i know |
| Ramattack | and with an app create a cdb file |
| Daveman | :p |
| nanonyme | integral: i also know i typoed |
| integral | Ramattack: basically, don't modify files that are open unless processes are cooperating and using flock. |
| Daveman | locking ftl |
| Ramattack | if you modify a text file and later recreate the cdb file.... what could happen with the proccess? |
| integral | here's a simpler scheme: create new file. unlink old. rename/link new file. kill all current processes to ask them to reopen their DBs It depends *how* you recreate. You can't truncate and write in the new contexts, you need to swap. |
| nanonyme | integral: care to point me to documentation on where you are supposed to use \&foo? i seem to have misunderstood something |
| Randal | and that's pretty rude to anyone else who also wants to make an update. :) |
| integral | yay, ain't unix fun. |
| mauke | why unlink? |
| Randal | I don't know what cdb is, but that doesn't sound like a sane way to do it |
| Daveman | yay unlink! |
| f00li5h | open, unlink, open means that you can read/write the same file edit-in-place style |
| Daveman | Foolish :D |
| Randal | in a scary way |
| Daveman | at least he's fulfilling his namesake ;D |
