Suse Linux - 1 line command on startup?
I want to have multiple ip addresses. All I want to do is execute 1 line automatically as root at or near the end of startup.
/sbin/ifconfig eth0:1 192.168.1.245
Where can / should I put this? (not an rc file, please. It should not take 200 lines of script to do this).
2 AnswersComputer Networking1 decade agoSteve Irwin dies and Creationists complain about him?
I don't get it. The man was an icon, and an inspiration, whose love of animals, even dangerous ones, gave so many of us a better understanding of the world and our place in it.
So here comes a Creationist to spit on Steve Irwin's grave...
"Sadly, Steve Irwin wasn’t a creationist...." moan, whine, spit.
What is wrong with this guy?
13 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoA proud example of Christian values?
I found this interesting story. Starts off as:
Canada's only major Arctic petroglyph site -- a 1,500-year-old gallery of mysterious faces carved into a soapstone ridge on a tiny island off of Quebec's northern coast -- has been ransacked by vandals in what the region's top archeologist suspects was a religiously motivated attack by devout Christians from a nearby Inuit community.

This seems to be a traditional repsonse, in line with both Christain and Taliban repsonses to percieved competition. Comments?
9 AnswersReligion & Spirituality1 decade agoEnd times in Islam?
Some Christians believe in a so-called "end times" / Revelations / Apocolypse thing and that -as usual- they are due any day now.
My question is - does Islam have a similar concept?

3 AnswersOther - Society & Culture1 decade agoRemove linux dual boot from drive - Windows croaked?
Windows croaked on my dual boot machine. Linux boots and runs just fine.
The windows XP disk can't see the drive. I'm guessing that the bootloader confuses Windows.
Bootloader is Grub.
How to remove it / make drive accessible?
4 AnswersOther - Computers2 decades agoPHP Can't convert hex over 7fffffff ?
In php, you can seamlessly convert strings representing both decimal and hex numbers to integers using 0 + string.
An (int) cast does not do this, and other methods gave me problems. Anyway:
print '<p>';
$hx = "0x2345e";
$n = 0 + $hx;
print "$n <br>";
$hx = "0xcb623";
$n = 0 + $hx;
print "$n <br>";
$hx = "0xcb511df6";
$n = 0 + $hx;
print "$n </p>";
Expected output:
144478
833059
-883876362
(or a large positive number).
Actual output:
144478
833059
0
Doing intval($hx,16); returns 2147483647 which is 0x7fffffff.
How to deal with hex strings representing numbers >0x7fffffff ?
1 AnswerProgramming & Design2 decades agoCSI Cat Poo Method?
We have 2 cats.
One sometimes craps outside the litter box.
No clue as to which one, and no way to isolate them from each other (very small house).
So the plan is:
Put some undigestable "something" in one cat's food that fluoresces.
On finding a log, shine a black light on it. If the log lights up, we have the guilty cat.
Question: What non toxic and non-digestible tastless stuff could be used? It has to be something a cat would eat.
7 AnswersCats2 decades agoShould Jesus be Neutered?
Jesus is said to be a man as well as God, a son of Mary, a human being.
And yet, there are those that would neuter him. That seem to think of him in the same sense as an anatomicly incorrect doll, or as a eunich. While not religious, I do find it problematic that some Christians would deny Jesus part of his nature as a human being.
Why?

19 AnswersReligion & Spirituality2 decades agoYour are answering a question - and it's gone?
I'll see an interesting question and hit the answer button. I've spent some time coming up with a good answer (maybe 1 minute). Then I hit the button and get "Asker has removed the question" (or whatever it says). This has happened a few times.
How irritating is that?

3 AnswersOther - Society & Culture2 decades agoKing James (of KJV bible fame) was gay or bisexual?
so why is that so many KJV fans are so enamored with anti-gay rhetoric and Leviticus 20:13?
King James, by his act of having the bible translated, seems to prove that gays can be as Christian and as God-focussed as anyone else. I don't get it.

Is Yahoo Answers the crack cocaine of internet addictions?
We've all heard the "X" is the crack cocaine of "ZZZ", whatever they may be. Slots and gambling, for example. It is a useful wordsmithing tactic for prohibitionist types.
My view is Y!A is too much fun to stop, and it should never be stopped. Yours?
