I don't really like horror as a genre, though I do like lots of horror films. I like quirkiness, and/or depth. Like Romero's Living Dead series, which isn't really about Zombies (Interesting Fact: The first one was just a mindless zombie film, the coincidental casting of a black actor hired at that particular time just happened to add a poignant political slant, which was then continued throughout the rest of the series).

I like Inbred for the quirkiness, and I'm also one of those three people who didn't think Pride, And Prejudice, And Zombies was the worst of both worlds.

I haven't seen a horror film that actually scared me since the Exorcist, but I don't watch them to be scared, I watch them to be intrigued.

I think the issue is you want to collect all emails without having to copy paste them one at a time, right?

So copy paste the entire page, get all the crap that you don't want too, it's fine.

In *nix (or anywhere Perl is installed):

Code: Select All

while ($l = <>){foreach $m(split /\s+/, $l){if($m =~ /^[-\w.]+@([a-z0-9][a-z-0-9]+\.)+[a-z]{2,4}$/i ){print $m . "\n";}}}

In Windows (untested):

Code: Select All

@echo off
set INPUT_FILE=results.txt
set OUTPUT_FILE=emails.txt
set "REGEXP=[\.A-Z\-_][\.A-Z\-_]*@[\.A-Z\-_][\.A-Z\-_]*"
>nul copy nul %OUTPUT_FILE%
for /f "tokens=*" %%a in (%INPUT_FILE%) do for %%b in (%%a) do (
for /f %%z in ('echo %%b ^| findstr /R /I "%REGEXP%"') do (
echo %%z >> %OUTPUT_FILE%
)
)

You still need to copy-paste, but now you can copy paste the entire page, and don't have to filter it manually.

(Incidentally, I actually answered this question within a few hours of it being asked, but I don't like the Perl, it feels kludgey, so I asked if anyone had any better ideas first, and until now, they don't. I mean, it works, it just isn't elegant).

Let me tell thee all,
The fate that did befall,
Ee by ee by gum,
When outsiders came,
And tried to stake a claim,
Ee by ee by gum,
Next thing that you know,
They say they want to go,
Ee by ee by gum,
So we pulled down father's kecks,
And we chopped off both his legs,
Ee by ee by gum,
Then we took his ratty wife,
And buried her alive,
Ee by ee by gum,
Then we took his dirty kids,
And fed 'em all to the pigs,
Ee by ee by gum,
The moon shines bright,
On Mortlake tonight,
Ee by ee by gum,
Outsiders sleeping sound,
Six feet underground
Ee by ee by gum

Yes, but I'm also experiencing DNS issues with surveys. Therefore, I think some ISPs are still reeling from the large DNS attack that broke half the internet the other day.

My kid will spend hours in front of a console, and is permanently attached to her phone. Guess what her mother does all day.

She also climbs trees, and rides bikes, and hikes, and camps, and stuff. Guess what I do in my spare time.

Give me a child until he is 7 and I will show you the man.

I agree with nursemorph. She's absolutely right. Even if you trust somebody completely, one day, they'll die, and you won't get paid.

I'm having issues with PayPal at the moment who have decided they don't like my credit union account anymore, but I can't get a bank account, because I lived abroad too much, and got short on ID and credit history...so now I'm cashing out with bitcoin so I can afford to buy a driving licence (I can actually drive, I just don't have a UK driving licence), so I can get a bank account, so I can go back to requesting as soon as I hit payout. I would still cashout straight away with that, but I'm hearing they're asking for account verification after X payouts, and I can't verify - I need the money to pay for the thing that will let me verify - so I'm building up for a lump sum. A modest lump sum, but a lump sum.

Or tl;dr, whenever you cash out, at least you're not in the mess I'm in.

I put my back out this morning. Want to swap?

You work at Marks and Sparks? That might make you the poshest person I know.

To change directory:
cd /path/to/directory

To copy a file:
cp /path/to/file /path/to/destination

To move a file:
mv /path/to/source /path/to/destination

List the contents of a directory:
ls

List the contents of a directory including hidden files
ls -a

Use different colours for different filetypes to make it easier to find stuff
ls -color

These can be combined, eg ls -a -color

To check disk space:
df -h

To execute a file

./filename

But it might not have the executable bit set, so you may need to first:

chmod +x file

You won't be able to execute a Windows program without WINE. To get wine:

sudo apt-get install wine

Once installed, to open a windows file

wine /path/to/exe

I had a transgender operation when I was young. It went well as far as I was concerned, but my patient wasn't happy, she only came in for an appendectomy.

Oh, that explains the username then, I thought it was a Loonie Toons thing.

I've never heard anybody in Australia complaining about too much rain before.

That's not politics, that's a freak show.

I was kinda the opposite of that.

I assumed I was perfectly normal, and it was my all night sessions on the internet, and funny working hours, and stuff that screwed it up. It wasn't until I walked Lands End to John O'Groats (A 200+ hour walk, taking about a month) and didn't have any of that stuff that I started to think something might be wrong.

I'd still never have seen a doctor if I hadn't been obliged to though.

I didn't intend to get a diagnosis either - I was volunteered by my then girlfriend to take part in some sleep trials, because the scientist in charge was her cousin doing his undergraduate thesis, and he couldn't fill his quota, and I didn't really get a choice in the matter.

But it was really useful once I'd got it. The only serious issue with sleep problems is getting to work. Everything else you can fit in whenever you're awake, give or take shop opening times. Having that diagnosis gives you some leverage with your boss. If you're lucky, you can get flexitime. If you're not lucky, you can at least get a bit of leeway.

People used to whinge at me all the time for being awake all night, and sleeping during the day. It's because I'm on the computer, or watching telly, or reading, or whatever it was - completely ignoring that fact that even after a 40 mile hike, and laying in the pitch black in the middle of a moor, I still don't sleep at night.

Then I got a proper diagnosis of DSPS, and now every time somebody complains about my sleeping habits, I can make them feel really bad because I've got a name for it, and that makes it a "condition", and people always feel crappy when they criticise somebody for a "condition" they have.

So my tip is go see a doctor and get a label for it. You don't need a fix, just a label.

On the plus side, that's still further than I've got - I haven't managed to qualify for one to not get paid for yet.

Make me a mod, and I'll be on the cover of Fascist Dictator Monthly in no time.

Don't do that then. Problem solved, glad to be of service.
