# Hitting Memcached while running tests is a _really_ bad idea. This class is basically a glorified hash, keeping track of what's given to it, 
# seems to work acceptably in test env.
# The way the Cache module works, it assumes a constant named CACHE to keep the actual holder for cached data - this class provides what seems to be needed for the

The case for a maybe:
We all know true and false, right? Larry Wall once said that truth should be
considered evident; therefore anything in Perl is either true or false, along with
anything else it may be. Truth is just an aspect.

And we use it easily, with the if/else construct:

if something
  do_something

I had trouble getting the Android toolchain working under Fedora 14 with my Nexus One. The Android documentation only gives the correct udev rules for Ubuntu, so I had to dig around to find something that worked.

The solution

My solution is to add the following into /etc/udev/rules.d/51-nexus-one.rules. You should not need anything besides this to get it working.

SUBSYSTEM=="usb", ATTRS{idProduct}=="4e12", ATTRS{idVendor}=="18d1", MODE="0666" SYMLINK+="android_adb"

After which you run udevadm control --reload-rules, and plug in your phone. At this point, lsusb should display your Nexus in the listing.

So let's see how bzip2 performs. It will run on a single core:

log ➤ time bzip2 test.log   
bzip2 test.log  95.70s user 0.38s system 99% cpu 1:36.84 total

99% cpu. 1.36 minutes. Not too shabby

Now, for some multi core action, let's see how pbzip2 performs:

log ➤ time pbzip2 test.log
