Does this picture look familiar? That's right, I marked it mislabeled, sent it back, they received it, I went in and re-added it, bumped it to the top of my queue (the same day they received it, before anything shipped)… and I got exactly (I expect, but maybe they're just duplicating the wrong grey disk [...]
And again! This one I can sort of understand, given that it's the same name and all, but the movie in the envelope there is the Matt Damon movie (which I like, but wasn't looking to see again right now). The envelope describes a 1988 made-for-tv adaption of the same novel. I guess someone just [...]
Today, I received Quentin Tarantino's Grindhouse: Death Proof from Netflix. Unlike Robert Rodriguez's Grindhouse: Planet Terror (which I received yesterday), this DVD floats the above-quoted phrase on the screen after the usual copyright warning.
I do not think that that holds any legal oomph: Dimension (/ Weinstein) wouldn't have let Netflix buy and distribute the DVD [...]
A couple of days ago I asked, in a rather aggressive fashion, whether any of you had done backups for Lucene, especially Solr.
None of you had, but at least a couple of you were concerned, for your own reasons, that I was concerned about the safe way to do that.
For the time being, I'm putting [...]
Apparently two people way at the bottom actually got it. Good for them.
It pains me to write this.
Has anybody ever done backups for Apache Lucene? (In particular, Solr, though I've no reason to believe that means anthing special for backup/recovery.) What did you do to do that, in broad strokes?
Note that I'm interested in responses in accordance with 's rules here. I do not want to [...]
The NetBSD flamewars are tired, and don't get me started on my local LUG, but this shit has got the lulz that just don't quit.
I especially like the image on the second post:
Now, I get the immediate joke. Duh. But there's a second joke there, if you've read your Hemingway. First, that's with the cape, [...]
Cf.
I dropped three movies in the mailbox at the same time.
The one, which I reported mislabeled as described in the referenced post, with the Swordfish sleeve and the Apocalypto content, as well as two others. Netflix has reported the other two “received” and generated “For Fri:” emails based on them. The one that was never [...]
PostgreSQL's pg_dump[all] commands always output to STDOUT. Their man pages laud this as a great idea: you can do whatever you want with the output data, including piping it to something that reformats it. Good for them. That's exactly half the utility I wanted. You can't supply any sort of flag to redirect their [...]
Just in case the half of you that don't already know better than you'd like to admit were wondering.
Yes, I know you can't read anything. I don't actually have quite enough monitor that I can read what's in the windows when I do that, but I can choose the host I want based on the [...]
