I'm wondering how I can write this better. I was trying to use inject instead of each, but kept running into errors. Mostly I'd like to tighten up the block. Any thoughts? def to_proc levels_of_nesting = @fields.zip(@orderings) procedure = nil levels_of_nesting.each do |field, ordering| procedure = proc_for(field, ...
I am playing around with a way to kick cheaters in Modern Warfare 2 (when you are the host). So far I have been able to use winpcap to sniff packages to identify the player names and their IPs. The next thing I need is a way to block all traffic (or just the target IPs UDP traffic to my machine). Hence the player will timeout/lagout. D...
Hello, first post (question) here… Take a look at this page in FireFox. Feel free to navigate to any of the top six product categories to see more of the same type of code.

I'm trying to use Ruby 1.9.1 for an embedded scripting language, so that "end-user" code gets written in a Ruby block. One issue with this is that I'd like the users to be able to use the 'return' keyword in the blocks, so they don't need to worry about implicit return values. With this in mind, this is the kind of thing I'd like to be...
I'm trying out Drupal i18n and I have a menu that I'd like to have different items in different languages in. Although I create this menu and assign it to be displayed in the left inside a block, it only appears on a specific language (Spanish). When I select language -> English the menu disappears. Am I doing something wrong? ...
I've got a Drupal 6.x install, and there is one block generated by the Station module which displays the name of the show currently playing. Is there a way to make just that block exempt from caching? Alternatively, can I insert a 'refresh' for only that block at 00:59:00 ? I'm not a php guy, but have found the place in the module wher...

I'm trying to prevent my application to call the same method twice in the event of a double-click, or if the user presses different buttons quickly, almost at the same time. I have clickable Views, acting as buttons, that call the same method but passing different parameters. This is the call: startTheSearch(context, getState(), what, ...
Is it possible with only CSS to make a block element occupy the whole page("busy box") when the element is on a non-root level where width and height set to 100% stretch it only as big as the parent element? I could have done it using absolute size but that would require javascript to adjust to the current size of the page. This m...

When the user has started the quiz, I want to prevent him/her from minimizing the window/closing it/switching to the desktop or other windows. The quizz...
In my constructor, I want to create a random color. Therefore, I need three random 7-bit floats in the range of 0…1 that make up the red, green and blue component of the color. Instead of writing the rather long random() % 128 / 128.0 three times, I put that in a block: CGFloat (^randFloat)() = ^(){ return random() % 128 / 128.0; }; co...

As in the following case, I would like to display each element of @array, from Box instance (using .each method): class Box def initialize @array = [:foo, :bar] end def each(&block) # well, hm.. end end a = Box.new a.each { |element| puts eleme...
I have a Perl script that launches 2 threads,one for each processor. I need it to wait for a thread to end, if one thread ends a new one is spawned. It seems that the join method blocks the rest of the program, therefore the second thread can't end until everything the first thread does is done which sort of defeats its purpose. I tried...

I need a way to make an entire DL element clickable with only one anchor tag, that validates as XHTML. As in: <a> <dl> <dt>Data term</dt> <dd>Data definition</dd> </dl> </a> This currently doesn't validate as XHTML as the anchor tag cannot contain the DL. The only way I can get it to validate is if I make two a...

What's the beste way to show a list with 20 images in rows of 5? Or, in other words, how do I clean up this ugly snippet? <div class="row"> <% @images.each_with_index do |image, index| %> <% if index != 0 && index % 5 == 0 %> </div><div class="row"> <% end %> <%= image_tag image.url %> <% end %> </div> ...
