"Prohibition will work great injury to the cause of Temperance. It is a species
of intemperance within itself, for it attempts to control a man's appetite by
legislation and makes a crime out of things that are not crimes. A prohibition
law strikes at the very principles upon which our government was founded."
-- Abraham Lincoln 1809 - 1865
"Two of the most famous products of Berkeley are LSD and Unix. I don't think that
this is a coincidence."

    • GDB: The GNU Project Debugger

      GDB, the GNU Project debugger, allows you to see what is going on `inside' another program while it executes -- or what another program was doing at the moment it crashed.

      GDB can do four main kinds of things (plus other things in support of these) to help you catch bugs in the act:

      • Start your program, specifying anything that might affect its behavior.
      • Make your program stop on specified conditions.
      • Examine what has happened, when your program has stopped.
      • Change things in your program, so you can experiment with correcting the effects of one bug and go on to learn about another.
      The program being debugged can be written in C, C++, Pascal (and many other languages). Those programs might be executing on the same machine as GDB (native) or on another machine (remote). GDB can run on most popular UNIX and Microsoft Windows variants.

      Insight is a graphical user interface to GDB, the GNU Debugger written in Tcl/Tk by people working at Red Hat, Inc. and Cygnus Solutions. We've been developing this debugger GUI since 1994. It has turned into a mature interface that is able to give you access to much of GDB's power.

"Our armies do not come into your cities and lands as conquerors or enemies, but as liberators. Your wealth has been stripped of you by unjust men... The people of Baghdad shall flourish under institutions which are in consonance with their sacred laws."
-- General F.S. Maude, commander of British forces in Iraq, 1917
