Hi,
update-eix won't work anymore: If I try to start it, it prints "Reading
Portage settings .." and starts gobbling up memory at an amazing rate.
At a memory usage of about 770MB (according to top) the process stops
with the message "Aborted" (nothing else).
What now?
Puzzled,
Wolfgang

Have you emerged sys-process/lsof? The binary is in /usr/sbin/, so it
might not be in your path.

I was looking at some of the flags associated with mod_php using the

All very interesting, the fact is that a hard drive is a physical
medium and the magnetic field is very malleable. It is very possible
to recover the data even if some random trash has been written over
it. The way hard drives use elaborate algorithyms to 'guess' the
contents with huge accuracy s
I think it's safe to say that none of us really knows what resources
are available to certain organizations to aid in data forensics.
I have personal experience with data recovery, at least peripherally.

See 'man xmodmap', the examples near the end, things like:
