I had to do something similar a little while back. My solution was to create a script and call `lynx -dump <url>`, and then grep the output. Perhaps a similar approach would work for you?

I am wondering the same thing as bbandeira, anyone have some good info on setting up a bridging firewall w/ nat?


NAT is usually done with routing, not bridging. Think of a bridge as a hardware hub/switch that you can buy in a store. You would use a bridge firewall if you had a range of internet ...

POLAX, do you really think that is the point? If the person sent out each of those e-mails personally to only 10 people, do you think those 10 people really care if it was done personally, or by a bot? The point is that it was PM's which were not asked for, and had no reason of being sent.

you have a mistake in the second reversing bit, you use "length" where you should use "length2", but that whole bit with using sprintf seems like overkill, just use this:

I didnt have time to read it all but just guessing you might be going past the size of the array and getting random bits from memory, i can remember doing that a few times.

C Programming Reversing Strings

Hey everyone. I'm attempting to reverse two strings in a program but am having difficulty. It does successfully reverse the string, but there are random symbols before the reversed string when printing the output. I'm assuming this is caused by the '\0' character being reversed, but my attempts at ...

Are you trying to mount them as root?

If you want a user to be able to mount/unmount the partitions you need to specify 'user' as an option in fstab.

For example:

I was a KDE fan for ages with Red Hat, and then kept it when I switched to Gentoo. I then added a second video card and KDE was too ugly with it for my tastes, so I decided to go with Fluxbox. After I went with it on my desktop, I couldn't help but switch my laptop over to it also, I love it so much.

That way, people only need to contact the developers once.

Of course, by modules I also mean the various packages in portage (ex. nvidia modules) that still require /usr/src/linux to be linked to the ...
