Summarizing, Microsoft has been always stealing - clueless employees are there.

Actually, the Return key symbol is wrong. U+21A9 is leftwards arrow with hook. The Return symbol is U+23CE, or ⏎.

Hi...
I am working on a wadl file and not wsdl file. I want to transfer a list of response from a groovy script to a properties file using property transfer. HOw do i do that?
Also, while doing xpath match assertion, we can also do this without giving the namespace i.e.,
<response xmlns="a string here"> <user>xyz</user> <password>xyz</password> <token>0766cb22f35dc96e6e4933480405a3e9bda00cfa81f004e7db223e19ef3f8658</token></response>

if i dint have xmlns, in the response tag my xpath to fetch token would be //Response//token
But with the attribute present in the tag, how to accomplish this?

Using the adapted version by Paul below, works great. Thanks a lot!

Thanks for the great tip. Just one thing I think you should add:

Your script fails to put the JAD files into the correct directory if their current directory has any spaces in it. Instead of using `dirname $1` try using "$(dirname $1)"
So it becomes:
jad -lnc -o -d "$(dirname $1)" $1

This is really great. Thank you! I thought something was weird when it took 20 minutes for macports to install a port.

I had this working beautifully, but then upgraded to Lion. Any idea how to create the same fix?

You just illustrated why macports doesn't work and homebrew does: The current version of darcs is 2.5.2, macports is still at 2.4.1 and hasn't been touched in the last 5 weeks. version 2.5.2 which was released 8 months ago. However using brew you can install haskell-platform and then use cabal to install darcs. With macports I'm always having to fix the port file to get the latest released software. Writing a formula doesn't appear harder than writing a Port file: if anything, probably easier.

Where videos were previously played are found a small circle, with a diagonal line within the circle and always in the upper left corner. Inaccessible probably. But, WHY?

@98ee1c8cf8a4831c1c43995a7d78790a It works for me. You do not need to modify anything else inside the script but the @DATA_URL variable. For me it reads:
@DATA_URL = "http://apple.accuweather.com/a..."
I hope this helps. I have attached an screenshot of the top of the script, with the modification. As somebody else said, it would be better if this is set as an option for the script, since metric=0 recovers the original behaviour. Make sure you are introducing the right zipcode (check with the -k flag, just in case)!

I tried that and still no luck for me...It's a shame it's not working and I don't want to have to switch to yahoo weather just to get a Celsius temperature!
Would adding it in here help?
curl --silent -m 30 "#{@DATA_URL}=#{CGI.escape(location)} <possibly here=""> "
</possibly>

you da man! i love this theme. thanks

Re: New Geek Tool Weather Script

iluvatar — Thu, 13 Oct 2011 11:41:52 -0000

You need to add metric=1 BEFORE zipcode, because the script will add the string =YOURZIPCODEVALUE at the end in order to complete the string zipcode=YOURZIPCODEVALUE . Something like
http://apple.accuweather.com/a...

Ted,

Great script! I am having a problem with a particular zip code (24060)... well I submit <http: adcbin="" apple="" apple.accuweather.com="" apple_weather_data.asp?zipcode="24060"> it returns XML as do other zip codes I use. However, when I use the script with only "-z" (and "-s", or "-f") parameters it never returns :(

Any thoughts? Other zips appear to work fine thru script parameter passing. Thanks! </http:>

Just a correction: Fink actually also lets you compile from source, very much like MacPorts. With this option, you get more up to date versions of the programs, compared to the Fink binaries.

Just stopped working today. No idea what's changed. I rebooted, redownloaded the script, checked all the locations, etc.

Very interesting article! Some people might call Symbian outdated, but the fact remains that Symbian is the only big smartphone operating system with true multitasking. You claim that this causes low efficiency and high power consumption, but still Symbian is superior to all other mobile platforms in this aspect. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on the matter.

I'd rewrite the curl statement simply because it's now 301'ing. Note the "L", which follows the redirect.

ruby -e "$(curl -fsSL http://gist.github.com/raw/323..."
