    <content type="html">I was hoping that someone may know about this.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I geek out on command lines.  *nix style in particular and find them to be quite useful.  However I fall out of practise and hate banging my head on something I already know just have grown rusty on.  At the time being I only have one computer which I can't set up to dual boot.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Running Windows XP.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm hoping there's something out there that will include all the GNU tools and *nix style commands (grep, ls...) that can be thrown over the shell in XP?  Also something that may at least display and allow navigation of the file structure similar to BSD style.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks!</content>

    <content type="html">ok, I've been looking at various things over the past few days and in the chemical structure of various medications, supplements, usw. all seem to have some things in common.  There seems to be a pattern of C&lt;sub&gt;n&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;n&lt;/sub&gt;NO&lt;sub&gt;n&lt;/sub&gt;.  Where &lt;em&gt;n&lt;/em&gt; are various combinations and at times there are other elements, usually only one or two, included.  Another observation is that the Nitrogen atom is usually singular.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So what is it about this particular configuration that makes it so common?  What is it about this configuration that makes it so important in biology?  Does this make medicine/minerals/vitamins, usw. easier to cross the blood/brain barrier?  One of the bands I listen to is named C&lt;sub&gt;17&lt;/sub&gt;H&lt;sub&gt;19&lt;/sub&gt;NO&lt;sub&gt;3&lt;/sub&gt;, which is the chemical formula for Morphine isolated, which again leads me to wonder is it a matter of blood/brain barrier?  What makes this chain so prevalent and important/how does it work in biochemistry?</content>

    <content type="html">ok, I need a distraction.  Enough backstory.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I'm a vegetarian of 2 years now, for dietary reasons.  The main weaknesses on the few meat-lapses I've had has been Bratwurst, something I loved before and still do, although my stomach cringes at the idea now despite my taste buds.  So having been a veg* for so long I was hoping for suggestions on how to fix &lt;strong&gt;Chicken Bratwurst&lt;/strong&gt;, which sounds a bit incorrect but much healthier than normal.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Suggestions on cooking time/method (would beer still be employed in the cooking of them? any seasoning suggestions?).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Also any suggestions for what would go well with such a centred meal (wine, other foods that would go well, usw.).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks!  I picked up a pack with a friend at a Wild Oats and want to cook for my friend as said friend has never had bratwurst of any kind.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Vielen dank!</content>

    <content type="html">ok, still banging my head against this one.  Here's some more information.

Output from PHP/MySQL on attempted insert:
Error in query: INSERT INTO regTable (area) VALUES ('West_Coast'). Unknown column 'area' in 'field list'

However, when I run that query on its own in the CLI or phpMyAdmin it works fine.  It can be any valid column in that table and it still creates the same error.

Here's the PHP/MySQL code, maybe the issue is with how I'm using the $_REQUEST array or concatenating the string for the query.  In addition and just to eliminate possibilities I tried copying the output query from the script and putting it in as a static query in the same script and it works fine that way as well.

Still at a loss.

$query = "INSERT INTO regTable (area)
VALUES
('".$_REQUEST['area']."')";
	
// $query =  "INSERT INTO regTable (area) VALUES ('West_Coast')";
$result = mysql_query($query) or die ("Error in query: $query. " . mysql_error());</content>

    <content type="html">I've already scoured google in relation to this issue and so far have found many solutions, none of which seems to work.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;PHP 4&lt;br /&gt;MySQL 4.1.20&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The script I'm working on at the moment returns a MySQL error : &lt;em&gt;Unknown column 'column_name' in 'field list'&lt;/em&gt; Where column_name can be any valid column for the table.  I've changed the order and the query insert style several times, restarted the MySQL server, and various other rain dances, all with the same results.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's a brief overview of the query that the script generates, it works fine when run directly in MySQL so I'm guessing there's something funny going on with the PHP/MySQL interface.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;INSERT INTO table (area, type, city, state, cost, status, capacity, allowed, description, link, startdate, regclose, enddate, over18, gender, level1, level2, level3) VALUES ('East', 'eryery', 'sdfaf', 'CA', '1', 'C', '1', 'N', 'ewt', 'yerr', '2007-05-04 01:00:00', '2010-01-01 01:00:00', '2011-01-01 01:00:00', '1', 'M', '1', '1', '1')Error in query: INSERT INTO table (area, type, city, state, cost, status, capacity, allowed, description, link, startdate, regclose, enddate, over18, gender, level1, level2, level3) VALUES ('East', 'eryery', 'sdfaf', 'CO', '1', 'C', '1', 'N', 'ewt', 'yerr', '2007-05-04 01:00:00', '2010-01-01 01:00:00', '2011-01-01 01:00:00', '1', 'M', '1', '1', '1').

I generally try and hammer these things out on my own but this one's just too busy givnig me a migraine after working on it for so long.  Still with no idea how to start on it.</content>

    <content type="html">Hah!  I just, after being very annoyed with it for two minutes, discovered a way to get rid of that STUPID lj feature they just added (or is it a bug?) called snapshots. (snapshits? that was the original typo and I think quite well fits.)  If you mouse over it and get the snapshot thing to pop up you can then go to the -menu- on it in the top right, there's an options section, forget the exact name of it.  There you can TURN IT OFF!  Apparently for -This Page- or -All Pages-.  Since I didn't want to take the chance of that coming back like a bad case of strep I clicked both to be completely vaccinated.  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So far so good!  If that feature bugs you too do the same and write to lj, that's what I plan on doing.  Tell them to STOP TRYING TO BE SHITTY LIKE M*SPACE!</content>

All that I can pick up from the lyrics that I remember are &lt;em&gt;We only came to dance&lt;/em&gt; but hitting google it doesn't seem to be the name of any of their songs or listed in any of their lyrics, at least none that google has spidered.  I was wondering what song title it's under and on which combichrist release?  Also is it an original song or a cover?</content>

    <title>a few questions about OS X and GNU/make/etc.</title>

    <content type="html">I'm working on a G-4 running OS X (10.3.9 if I remember correctly) and trying to set up a few things.  A Jabber/XMPP Server for one and a mail server for another.  However I've noticed that all the binaries for PowerPC OS X XMPP servers I can find error out at some point on install and for some reason it doesn't seem to have "make" or any of the other GNU/Linux/*nix command line functions I'm used to when dealing with the source installs.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So my main questions are:&lt;br /&gt;1) How does one go about installing "make" and all the libraries it needs to successfully run in OS X?  Is it any different for 10.3.9?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;2) Does anyone know of any tutorials on doing the above or any quirks I may run into?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;3) Does anyone know where I can find possibly the binaries for an install of a mail server or Jabber/XMPP server for OS X?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Thanks, and apologies for some cross posting, having a hard time finding resources on this on google or in "the missing manual" and still pretty new to the deeper parts of os x.</content>

    <content type="html">does anyone know of any freeware or gpl standalone applications to organise a personal library and book collection?  All the search phrases I can think of to hit google and anywhere else with return everything but anything related to that, and the few I can find seem to be unmaintained since 2004 and only partially on the servers (corrupt downloads, files missing, etc).  I could write something in php/mysql but I need something that's stand alone as not all the computers I'm going to run this on are going to have apache/php/mysql installed on them.  At the moment I'm running windows xp, so unfortunately needs to be able to run on that as well.&lt;br /&gt;Thanks!  I'm sure there's something out there!</content>

Who were the bands that did the songs in the two?  The "Here come the drums" song and the one that was being sung by you know who to you know who if you've seen it (no accidental spoilers).  Both were interesting and maybe I wouldn't have liked the first one if it hadn't had the visuals and I weren't such a Whovian but now I'm hooked.  Who?  What song titles?  Where can I find them?  iTunes?  eMusic?  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Danke!&lt;br /&gt;E.</content>

    <content type="html">from news.com.au (no I don't make reading ANY news from Australia a habit, the place scares me) comes the following :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21994224-2,00.html" target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,21994224-2,00.html&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lieutenant Walter Haut, the public relations officer at Roswell Airforce Base in 1947 and was the man who issued the original and subsequent press releases after the crash on the orders of the base commander, Colonel William Blanchard.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He died last year and left a sealed affidavit to only be opened after his death in which he confirms the theory that it was indeed an extra terrestrial craft which crashed at Roswell and that he had personally seen the bodies recovered from not only the well known crash but a second much larger crash that they were hoping the one in Roswell would help distract from.  (Wow, what a run on).&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I suggest reading the article even if you aren't interested in that type of thing usually, as he obviously wasn't seeking publicity or fame for himself as it was to be opened upon his death, as well up to his death he denied anything of the such which sounds like he was staying loyal to some oath he had taken or threats he had received.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Interesting times.

I've held my opinions for years and they aren't going anywhere unless I find personal reason for such.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fuck 'democracy via bomb' it's time for freedom and to be rid of the totalitarian systems disguising themselves as 'freedom loving and spreading' governments while millions suffer and die. To put it in the words of MC Front-A-Lot:&lt;br /&gt;"Democracy delivered by the bomb and the gun&lt;br /&gt;is terror elsewhere in the world I'm from"&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Hope this is not only preaching to the converted but finds its way to the eyes, ears and minds of people who may not be aware of the situation or think about it much.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's to TRUE FREEDOM!  Freiheit!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Palestinians: Freedom is what they want&lt;br /&gt;By CHARLEY REESE (Associated Press)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might recall how President George W. Bush was wont to wax eloquent on the virtues of democracy and how often he spoke of spreading democracy to the Middle East.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You might not recall that there was a free and fair election in the occupied territories last year. Palestinian voters overwhelmingly chose a Hamas government over a slate of candidates offered by Fatah, a secular Palestinian organization.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;They didn't make this choice out of religious beliefs or because they preferred "terrorists" to politicians. They made the choice because they were fed up with the corruption and brutality of the Fatah faction. They made the choice because Hamas had and still has a reputation for honesty and for a wide-ranging and compassionate health, education and welfare program.&lt;br /&gt;Alas, President Bush discovered that he didn't like democracy after all. In his mind, democracy is only good if the election produces the results he wants it to produce. He immediately cut off aid and contact to the Palestinians, boycotted them and began a campaign to get other countries to withhold aid. These actions only harmed innocent Palestinian people. Since Hamas officials, unlike Fatah, were not in the habit of squandering public money on personal luxuries, the only people deprived by Bush's actions were ordinary people.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Now the president is pretending that the Fatah gunmen, whom he has been arming, were just sitting peacefully in the shade recently, trying their hand at knitting or crocheting, when all of the sudden those bad Hamas guys came up and started shooting. Regardless of Bush's lies, the truth is that Hamas fought back in self-defense. Between Fatah's gunmen and Israeli assassins, the Hamas guys must have felt like targets in a shooting gallery.&lt;br /&gt;The Gaza Strip is a hellhole. It's a small patch of land, 41 kilometers long and about 6 to 12 kilometers wide. Its 360 square kilometers are crammed with 1.4 million Palestinians, about 1 million of them refugees from Israel's earlier wars. Unemployment is over 50 percent, and the poverty level is 60 percent. Nearly 18 percent of all children there suffer from malnutrition.&lt;br /&gt;Israel controls its water supply and its air and land routes, and subjects its people to frequent closures, not to mention military attacks. It's true that some members of Hamas have resorted to terrorist acts, but the ratio of Israelis killed by Palestinians is small in comparison with Palestinians killed by Israelis. In the year 2006, according to B'Tselem, a respected Israeli human-rights organization, 660 Palestinians, including 141 children, were killed by Israelis, while only 23 Israelis were killed.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Try to visualize, if you can, 141 children. That's about the population of four average classrooms. Now visualize a heap of dead children. Those shot in the head are probably not recognizable, but you can see the bullet holes in the young, tender bodies of the others. If you can visualize this, then maybe you will get an inkling of the suffering inflicted on Palestinians by the Israelis.&lt;br /&gt;The Palestinians don't deserve this. Their only sin was to be born in their own country, a country that was coveted by European Zionists and taken from them with the help of British colonialism. The fact that most American politicians prefer the indignity of acting like a crowd of timid foot-kissers for the Israeli lobby adds our own guilt to that of the Israelis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Americans should remember the cliche "what goes around, comes around." Nobody gets a free pass to sin against humanity. The rest of the world sees us as we are. Other countries see the hypocrisy, the lies, the deliberate negligence of the American press. They see the callous disregard for death and suffering. To use the vernacular, we ain't making any friends in heaven or on Earth.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The tragedy is that nobody has to destroy Israel to provide justice to the Palestinians, but if they don't get justice, then Israel will eventually destroy itself, just as one of its best intellects has predicted. Palestinians want what William Wallace and our own ancestors wanted -- freedom.</content>

    <content type="html">ok, so was looking through an &lt;strong&gt;Old High German&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="#1" target="_blank"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt; (OHG) glossary, Wright's&lt;sup&gt;&lt;a href="#2" target="_blank"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/sup&gt;, circa 1920's.  If anyone knows a more recent work on OHG please let me know!  &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And came across this:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;strong&gt;ana-gin, anakin (gen. -ginnes), sn. beginning.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;ok, so now we know why/the meaning/where lucas or someone working for him got the name Anakin, but I'm not quite sure how to feel about it.  Guess it should be thought of as a good thing that people will look to OHG as a resource.  Random thought while I happen to be online.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="1" target="_blank"&gt;1&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Old_High_German" target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Wikipedia Old High German&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a name="2" target="_blank"&gt;2&lt;/a&gt; - &lt;a href="http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/Marmaria/ohg/ohg_glossary.html" target="_blank" target="_blank" rel="nofollow"&gt;Glossary from "An Old High German Primer" by Dr. Joseph Wright&lt;/a&gt;</content>
