Emacs column marker

Very often some code style has limited length of code line and its quite good, when IDE knows about such limits.

I've added to Emacs column-marker

(add-to-list 'load-path (expand-file-name "~/emacs/column-marker"))
(require 'column-marker)
(add-hook 'ada-mode-hook (lambda () (interactive) (column-marker-3 79))) 

Now, if in Ada code some line exceeds 79-symbols limit, Emacs will highlight it with red.

Error: Value too large for defined data type

During compilation of program sources in Ubuntu Linux in folder, which was mounted via CIFS from windows I've got the following error from gcc:

Error: Value too large for defined data type

At the first thought it is an error in gcc, but actually the problem was in mounting directory via CIFS .

To fix this error the following options should be added to fstab or mount command line:

nounix,noserverino 

I've got this info from here. 

Escaping in bash. Who knows ?

I have such script for bash:

#!/bin/bash
set -x
a () 

{ 

   echo $1 

}

b () 

{ 

   a "--some-flag='param1 param2,param3'" 

}
b
In the a () function "echo" is called like below:
echo '--some-flag='\''param1' 'param2,param3'\'''

How can I pass parameter to a () function without escaping ?

To make it possible to call echo as follow:
echo --some-flag='param1 param2,param3'

I mean to pass parameters as is?

Installation of Grub2 in Gentoo

I'm bothered to use LILO and want something new.
I've decided to install GRUB2.

1. Unmask package:

echo ">=sys-boot/grub-1.99-r2" >> /etc/portage/package.unmask

2. Build

emerge grub

3. Setup

 grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg

4. Checking if configuration looks good.

grub2-install --grub-setup=/bin/true /dev/sda

5. Installing

grub2-install /dev/sda

6. Rebooting

reboot.

Apple has lost a visionary genius

Apple has lost a visionary and creative genius, and the world has lost an amazing human being. Those of us who have been fortunate enough to know and work with Steve have lost a dear friend and an inspiring mentor. Steve leaves behind a company that only he could have built, and his spirit will forever be the foundation of Apple.
