| sliddjur | i have a school assignment which tells me to: generate a password hash with perl's crypt.... I don't even know where to start. never used perl. :) |
| Botje | perldoc -f crypt |
| Botje | perlbot: tutorial |
| perlbot | Botje: http://perl-tutorial.org | http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/ | http://perlmonks.org/index.pl?node=Tutorials | http://learn.perl.org/ |
| rindolf | sliddjur: is this a high school assignment? |
| rindolf | sliddjur: or is it a university one? |
| rindolf | sliddjur: surely you can learn Perl. |
| Su-Shee | rindolf: who cares? homework is homework. |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: so ? We help with homework. |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: just trying to learn the enemy. |
| rindolf | Be Prepared. |
| sliddjur | :D |
| sliddjur | its university, but its not a perl/programming class. its just a Linux administration class |
| Su-Shee | rindolf: then think first. two minutes of google tell everybody how to use crypt. |
| Su-Shee | sliddjur: sorry are you really not able to google how to generate a password IN UNIVERSITY? |
| * rindolf | is listening to Alphaville - Forever Young (“Hoping for the best, but expecting the worst” - great song). |
| tm604 | i searched for crypt but all I found were Halloween instructions :( |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: google for Perl stuff. |
| rindolf | ? |
| rindolf | Also http://duckduckgo.com/ is better and more consistent than Google. |
| Su-Shee | rindolf: yeah because Perl's crypt is TOTALLY different from all the other crypts.. ;) |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: crypts are like snowflakes - no one alike. |
| rindolf | ;-) |
| * rindolf | has a huge and comprehensive collection of crypts on his hard disk. |
| rindolf | I'll soon need to upgrade my hard disk for it. |
| rindolf | OK, back to topic. |
| Su-Shee | also seriously someone at _university_ can't research and learn on his own? |
| rindolf | sliddjur: I suggest you learn some basic Perl properly from a good tutorial |
| rindolf | sliddjur: http://perl-begin.org/tutorials/#perl_in_2hours - see this - it's good but see the caveats and unfortunately it is All Rights Reserved (ARR). |
| rindolf | The author wants to “maintain control” of their work. |
| Su-Shee | yes. many do. get over it. |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: I cannot. |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: well, I can for some time. |
| Su-Shee | rindolf: then don't get over it in the privacy of your room. ;) |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: OK. |
| * rindolf | is heating up some water for some instant soup. |
| rindolf | Maybe I'll heat up some Bourekas and/or red rice after that. |
| * rindolf | is not much of a cook. |
| rindolf | But when I'm hungry, I hack something. |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: BTW, I think trying to understand Hegel is pointless. |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: that or Aristotle's Meta-Physics. |
| rindolf | A lot of high language that yields no gain. |
| rindolf | And is of close to zero utility. |
| rindolf | Like The Emperor's New Clothes that only smart people can see. |
| Su-Shee | rindolf: yeah that's what everybody thinks who has no clue of philosophy.. |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: <Su-Shee> rindolf: yeah that's what everybody thinks who has no clue of philosophy.. ==> I rest my case. |
| rindolf | Su-Shee: BTW, I was able to disprove some of the things I was told that Kant or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S%C3%B8ren_Kierkegaard or Descartes said using logic and my own intuition. |
| Su-Shee | rindolf: blah. |
