takizo, not takezo

I have been having problems running port cvsup on one of my FreeBSD machines recently. Until there is a certainty of a line, it displays the error;

***
***
runtime error:

*** ASSERT failed
*** file “/usr/ports/net/cvsup-without-gui/work/cvsup-snap-16.1h/suplib/src/FileStatus.m3″, line 616
***

I managed to solve the problem after 1 week. What I did was rename /usr/sup folder to another name, run cvsup port-files to generate new cvsup tree file in /usr/sup

Hope this will solve your problems too.

In France, the government wants the music being sold by Apple to be playable on other devices, not only ipods. This sounds good but I feel it is unfair to Apple.

In Malaysia, especially the ISP industry, Telekom Mxlxysia monopolises the local market. I believe the .gov will not encourge foreign ISPs into our country to pose as TM competitors. Furthermore, if an ISP is going to provide broadband services, they would still need to rent ports from TM.

When will our government ever approve other ISP companies to use TM ports as well? It would be just like what the French government is going to do to Apple

Ever since the announcement of Windows XP can be booted on MacBook Pro, there are geeks around the world who did some benchmark on Windows XP Performance on MacBook Pro.

If you want a laptop to boot a super fast Windows XP, then you may consider buying an Apple MacBook Pro or may be IMac or may be a Mac Mini. You might want to check out the benchmark test here.

I want a MacBook Pro in August!

The release of Microsoft Windows Vista is delayed again. I started hearing about Windows Vista 5 years ago. Why is it taking so long to release? According to Microsft, they want to come out with a “top quality” operating system, that’s why the there is a delay. I really want to see how the “top quality” is like:P

I want to explain what the difference is between include and require in PHP because next time I won’t need to explain it in MSN again, can just show my blog.

Include and require does the same thing, which is it includes certain files. But why not just use include, why sometimes use require as well?

Include; When you are trying to include a file, if the file is missing, the entire page will still load and a warning message will display.

Require; When the include a file, if it is missing, the entire page will halt/stop loading, the page will freeze/blank/nothing/white colour with fatal error message.

When to use include or require? It depends on you. If you think the page needs to include very important files, use require, so when the file is missing, the page will halt, stop process.
