how to find a package to install in cygwin

Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

I guess it’s similar to rpm -qf to find out what package a specific binary is included in. You can find out which package a specific binary is in by using their website here: http://cygwin.com/cgi-bin2/package-grep.cgi?grep=startx

In my case, I did a search for startx. I did the same search for telnet.

UFC 104 picks …

Tuesday, October 20th, 2009

OK. Maybe I suck. I’m currently -275 after UFC 102 where I was disappointed by Randy Couture.

I’m not one to chase my bets, so I’ll go consistent.

I’ll take Lyoto Machida -500 over Mauricio “Shogun” Rua. This is a dangerous bet because for one, it’s difficult to fork out $500 to win $100, especially against a fighter that actually has a chance. I’ll take this bet though since Lyoto’s never been hurt, ever, and I can see this fight going like Lyoto’s fight against Thiago Silva.

I’ll also go with Yushin Okami -260 over Chael Sonnen. I don’t think Sonnen’s really that good and Okami’s really strong. I can see Okami just being on top of him the entire fight.
