Networking question

[polygonum]

In my current setup, particularly TV so that BR/DVD could do so.

Just the three VAXes. But four PDP-11s and the replica PDP-8s (but they are not on the network).

I can see that happening here soon.

[Huge]

Yeah, well I'm one, too.

Given neither of them are likely to be Gigabit, that's an example where the "cable economisers" mentioned earlier can be useful.

Some ATAs and VoIP phones do just that.

[Andy Champ]

Yes, but the 100meg switch was free. Someone else had gone gigabit.

That's better than I manage somedays, which is to stand in the kitchen wondering why I'm in the kitchen.

[Graham.]

Not necessarily. One upstairs, one down and only one cable betwixt.

Add on a few media streamers, games consoles, printers, NAS boxen etc its surprising how quick you can get through ports. Looking at the management page of my 24 port switch, its only reporting 11 live connections at the moment... but I know there are not many free sockets on it either. So sometimes its just about the convenience of have the stuff connected and ready to go when you want rather than that many concurrent users.

[Graham.]

[Bob Eager]

Exactly. And that excludes the wi-fi connections (phones, Kindles, etc.)

And Linux on my Zipit!

[Graham.]

Whoops sorry. I was going to ask if the thin-net was still intact?

[Bob Eager]

No thin-net here...or was that not what you meant?

Only one windows here, and that's in a VM...

It doesn't sound like something I need now, although I find the discussion interesting.

OK.

[Adam Funk]

I got turned off by the difficulty of recycling/adapting my own code (even with comments, yes) a year or two later.

I do miss the easy regex use in control structures, though.

if ($string =~ /^(\d+)\s+(\w+)\s*$/) { do_stuff_with($1, $2); }

I think that contributed to my turn-off above, even though I tried to avoid using that $_ business myself.

[Tim Streater]

As I said: line noise.

No, it's a perfectly clear regular expression.

If you can't cope with that, regexes are possibly not for you - in any language...

\d=digit character \w=word character \s=space character (space, tab etc)

• and * have their usual meanings...

() collect the matches into $1,$2 etc

This:

$~=$^=1;s//1 1 /;_:$~^=$^ ^=$~^=$^;$_.=($~=$~+$^." ");($~

Yes, it does run and it does do something tangible :¬)

[Bob Eager]

OK, and I agree. Try this (I used to use it). Scroll down to the examples:
