rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mike_chimirev - I've been riding bikes my whole life, but this is my first trick bike. My girlfriend bought me this bike for Christmas, and who knows how much she over-paid for it. I've seen this bike on Ebay & other web sites for around $250, but I'm sure she...

rating: 3/5 by: Epinions Author mike_chimirev - My brother bought Samsung DVD M101 player from ubid.com for $90. It came in in an opened box, but it wasn't broken or scratched, I guess it was one of the returns where customer just didn't like it or decided to go with something else.

Great book for anyone who wants to learn Regular Expressions.

Mon, 13 Aug 2001 04:31:52 GMT

rating: 5/5 by: Epinions Author mike_chimirev - I always avoided regular expressions because I always had difficulty understanding them. I always managed to work out text processing with loops, splitting, comparing and moving until I had to debug someone else’s’ program with RegExp. That’s when I...
