2			As with Francois, I used to use ccache for recompiling packages that
3			hadn’t finished the first time — but for a different reason. At
4			the time, I had overrated memory, and a BIOS without a memory clock
5			option. The system was generally fine, but once in awhile would scramble
6			a memory transfer enough to cause a crash. CCache was a LOT of help in
7			that instance, as it’s what allowed me to even install Gentoo at all —
8			there’s no way I could have gotten thru gcc, (monolitic) X, glibc, or
9			the then unsplit KDE compiles, without it.

11			Kay, you are so full of sh*t that it's not funny. You're refusing to
12			acknowledge your bugs, you refuse to fix them even when a patch is
13			sent to you, and then you make excuses for the fact that we have to
14			work around your bugs, and say that we should have done so from the
15			very beginning.

18			systemd creates user session information in
19			/run/user/$user . I brought up with lennart the fact that this would
20			only permit one session per user. He rejected out of hand the fact
21			that more than one session would ever be needed, because Gnome only
22			allowed one session per user.

267
268			Scientist B: A, I tried duplicating your experiment, but parameters x, y,

270			x, y, and z that you used at the time. What are they?
271
272			A: x, y, and z are such and such.
273			B: Using x, y, and z, my result doesn't agree with yours at all. Are you
274			sure you did the procedures that you claimed?
275			A: ...
276			B: You fraud!
277
278			Scientific scrutiny does not work like this:
279
280			A publishes results.
281
282			B: I have Generic Skepticism toward your article. Under code viii of the
283			Publication Criteria, I demand that you give me all of your data!
284			A: ... ok...? It seems that everything you would need is already in the
285			article. Did you have something specific in mind?
286			B: A has refused to attach all data he has ever used for the
287			experiment. He is withholding information and thus hiding something.

716			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
717			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
718			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
719			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
720
721			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
722			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
723			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
724			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
725			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
726			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)

730			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
731			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
732			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
733			from fascism period.
734
735			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
736			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
737			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
738			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
739			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
740			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
741			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
742			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
743			SIAE.
744
745			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
746			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
747			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
748			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
749			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
750			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

756			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
757			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
758			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
759			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
760			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
761			western country.
762
763			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
764			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
765			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
766			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
767			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
768			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
769			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
770			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
771			also the governments of "center-left".

836
837			Hi
838
839			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
840			someone here can advise me.
841
842			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
843			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
844			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
845			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
846			happens with the customer looking on!!).
847
848			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
849			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
850			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
851			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
852			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

1139			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1140			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1141			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1142			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1143			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1144			es nicht.
1145
1146			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1147			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1148			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1149			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1150			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1151			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1152
1153			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1154			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1155			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1156			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1157			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1158			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1159			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1160			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1161			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1162			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1163			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1164			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1165			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1166			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1167
1168			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1169			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1170			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1171			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1172			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1173			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1174			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1175
1176			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1177			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1178			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1179			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1180			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1181			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1182			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1183			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1184			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1185			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1186			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1187			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1188			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1189			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1190			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1191			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1192			alternativ' Idioten!
1193
1194			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1195			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1196			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1197			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1198			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1199			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1200			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1201			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1202			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1203			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1204			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1205			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1206			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1207			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1208
1209			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1210			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1211			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

1213			Ich will R A C H E !
1214
1215			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1216			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1217			Dinge zu sagen:
1218
1219			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1220
1221			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1222			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1223			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1224			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1225			anfange.
1226
1227			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1228			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1229			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1230			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1231			dieser verdammten schule!
1232
1233			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
1234			die Welt zu bieten hat!
1235
1236			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
1237
1238			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
1239			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1240			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1241			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1242			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1243			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1244			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1245			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1246			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1247			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1248
1249			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1250			Einschulung.
1251
1252			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1253			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1254			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1255			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1256			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1257			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1258			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1259			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1260			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
1261			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!
1262
1263			WERDET ENDLICH WACH - GEHT AUF DIE STRASSE - DAS HAT IN DEUTSCHLAND
1264			SCHONMAL FUNKTIONIERT!
1265
1266			Nach meiner Tat werden wieder irgendwelche fetten Politiker dumme
1267			Sprüche klopfen wie "Wir halten nun alle zusammen" oder "Wir
1268			müssen gemeinsam versuchen dies durchzustehen". Doch das machen
1269			sie nur um Aufmerksmakeit zu bekommen, um sich selbst als die Lösung
1270			zu präsentieren. Auf der GSS war es genauso... niemals lässt
1271			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn
1272			Theater-aufführungen sind, dann steht sie als erste mit einem breiten
1273			Grinsen auf der Bühne und präsentiert sich der Masse!
1274
1275			Nazis, HipHoper, Türken, Staat, Staatsdiener, Gläubige... einfach alle
1276			sind zum kotzen und müssen vernichtet werden! (Den begriff "Türken"
1277			benutze ich für alle HipHopMuchels und Kleingangster; Sie kommen nach
1278			Deutschland weil die Bedingungen bei ihnen zu hause zu schlecht sind,
1279			weil Krieg ist... und dann kommen Sie nach Deutschland, dem Sozialamt der
1280			Welt, und lassne hier die Sau raus. Sie sollten alle vergast werden! Keine
1281			Juden, keine Neger, keine Holländer, aber Muchels! ICH BIN KEIN SCHEISS
1282			NAZI) Ich hasse euch und eure Art! Ihr müsst alle sterben!
1283
1284			Seit meinem 6. Lebensjahr wurde ich von euch allen verarscht! Nun müsst
1285			ihr dafür bezahlen!
1286
1287			Weil ich weiss das die Fascholizei meine Videos, Schulhefte, Tagebücher,
1288			einfach alles, nicht veröffentlichen will, habe ich das selbst in die
1289			Hand genommen.
1290
1291			Als letztes möchte ich den Menschen die mir was bedeuten, oder die jemals
1292			gut zu mir waren, danken, und mich für all dies Entschuldigen!

1549			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1550			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1551			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1552			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1553			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1554			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1555			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1556			companies want to own your computer.
1557
1558			Some examples:
1559
1560			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1561			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1562			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1563			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1564			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1565			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1566			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1567			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1568			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1569	root	1.432
1570	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1571			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1572			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1573			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1574			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1575
1576			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1577			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1578			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1579			from Microsoft? You can't.
1580
1581			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1582			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1583			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1584			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1585			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1586			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1587			adversely affect its business partners.
1588
1589			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1590			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1591			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1592			about your behavior.
1593
1594			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1595			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1596			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1597			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1598			presumed infractions.
1599
1600			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1601			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1602			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1603
1604			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1605			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1606			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1607			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1608			user's device against him.
1609			[...]
1610			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1611			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1612			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1613			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1614			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1615			back-room marketing deals.

1792			By Bertrand Russell
1793
1794			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
1795			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
1796			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
1797			might be set forth as follows:
1798
1799			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
1800
1801			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
1802			evidence is sure to come to light.
1803
1804			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
1805
1806			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
1807			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
1808			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
1809
1810			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
1811			contrary authorities to be found.
1812
1813			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
1814			do the opinions will suppress you.
1815
1816			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
1817			was once eccentric.
1818
1819			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
1820			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
1821			agreement than the latter.
1822
1823			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
1824			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
1825
1826			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
1827			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
1828
1829			"A Liberal Decalogue" is from The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell,
1830			Vol. 3: 1944-1969, pp. 71-2.

2680			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
2681			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
2682			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
2683			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them

2816			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
2817
2818			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
2819			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
2820			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
2821			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
2822			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
2823			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
2824			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
2825			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
2826			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
2827			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
2828			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
2829			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
2830			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
2831			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
2832			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
2833			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
2834			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
2835			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
2836			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
2837			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
2838			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
2839			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
2840			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
2841			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
2842
2843			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
2844			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
2845			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
2846			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small

2850			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
2851			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
2852			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
2853			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never

2855			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
2856			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
2857			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain

2863			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
2864			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
2865			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
2866			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
2867			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
2868			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
2869			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see

2940
2941			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
2942
2943			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
2944			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
2945			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
2946			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
2947			explanation of this.
2948
2949			Theory: An explanation of an observation
2950
2951			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
2952			which explains why the hammer falls.
2953
2954			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
2955			how a population's genome can change over time.

2964			acceleration.
2965
2966			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
2967			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
2968			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
2969			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
2970			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
2971			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
2972			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
2973			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be

3134			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3135
3136			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3137			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3138			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3139			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3140			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3141			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3142			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3143			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3144			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3145			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3146			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3147			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3148			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3149			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3150
3151			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3152			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3153			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3154			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3155			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3156			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3157			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4203			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4204			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4205			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4206			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4207			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4208			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4209			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4210			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4211			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4212			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4213			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4214			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4215			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4216			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4217			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4218			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4219			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4539	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4540			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4541			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4542			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4543			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4544			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4545			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4546
4547			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4548			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4549			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4550			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4551			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4552			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4553			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4554			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4555			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4556			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4557
4558			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4559			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4560			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4561			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

4765			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
4766			last until February 16th 2003.
4767
4768			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
4769			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
4770			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
4771			end.
4772
4773			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
4774
4775			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
4776			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
4777			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
4778			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
4779			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
4780			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
4781			take place on October 27th.
4782
4783			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
4784			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
4785			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
4786			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
4787			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
4788			the clock)...

4975			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
4976			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
4977			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
4978			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
4979			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
4980			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
4981			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently

5275			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
5276
5277			[...]
5278			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5279			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5280			of for Windows desktop systems."
5281			[...]
5282			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5283			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5284			[...]
5285			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5286			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5287			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5288			turned on by default.
5289			[...]
5290			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5291			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5292			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5293			[...]
5294			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5295			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5296			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5297			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5298			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5299			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5300			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5301			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5302			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

6973			Any IBM PC compatible machine that runs under at least one Microsoft OS

6988
6989			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
6990			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
6991			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
6992			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
6993			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
6994			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
6995			do the right thing.
6996
6997			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
6998			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
6999			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7000			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7001			and they have to fix it.

8443			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is

8445			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8446			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8447			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8448			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8449			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8450			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8451			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8452			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8453			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8454			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8455			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8456			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8457			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8458			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8459			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8460			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8461			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8462			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8463			work.
8464			[...]
8465			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8466			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8467			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8468			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my

8470			search generically - then it has some potential.

8673			I sit behind an NT dual P2/400 256MB for too many hours each day. It is
8674			"slow". One of my (fun) tasks is CD mastering. When i'm loading a 500MB
8675			wav file into the editor, the machine goes useless for two minutes while
8676			loading the wave file. Basically its just reading the file and writing it
8677			to swap. The CPU is at 5%. No Alt-Tab between apps during that time. No
8678			chance of putting the mouse over a button (too many dropped ticks). The
8679			NT kernel is just sitting waiting for I/O completions.
8680
8681			Linux would be embarrassed to be that bad.
8682
8683			I expected M$ to never fix this because its not "broken". However, i
8684			expect billg to start reading the above mentioned literal benchmarks and
8685			get really really pissed.
8686

9119			Jean-Louis provides four arguments in favor of the overloading of the

9122			+------------------------------------------+
9123			\| Other languages, notably C++, permit it. \|
9124			+------------------------------------------+
9125
9126			This one is hardly persuasive. Many languages do innumerable things
9127			that Perl does not do. Just for example, take:
9128
9129			* Csh reparses and re-evals interpolated strings, allowing something
9130			like C<$cmd $var> to do interesting things.
9131			* The Fortran lexer (as it were), having no need of white space to
9132			infer tokens, allows C<DO I=1.10> and C<DO I=1,10> to coexist in an
9133			interesting way.
9134			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
9135			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
9136			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do
9137			interesting things.
9138			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that
9139			language, allowing parameterized meta-classes to do interesting
9140			things.

10472			Date: 09 Nov 1995 02:57:30 GMT
10473			Subject: Re: system() question
10474
10475			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10476			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10477			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10478			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10479			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10480			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10481			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10482			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10483			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10484			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10485			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10486			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10487			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10488			humiliating for me!)
10489
10490			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10491			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10492			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10493			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10494			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10495			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10496			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10497			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10498			really knows the answer.
10499
10500			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10501			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10502			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10503			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10504
10505			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10506			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10507			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10508			for that.
10509
10510			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10511			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10512			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10513			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10514			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10515			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10516			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10517
10518			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10519
10520			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10521			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10522			something for free.''
10523
10524			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10525
10526			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10527			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10528
10529			(Good question.)
10530
10531			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10532			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10533			once I have run it.''
10534			(Good question.)
10535
10536			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10537
10538			(Good question.)
10539
10540			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10541			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10542			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10543			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10544			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10545
10546			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10547			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10548			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10549			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10550			comp.lang.perl?
10551			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10552			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10553			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10554			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10555			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10556			in comp.lang.perl?
10557
10558			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10559			you my rate card.
10560
10561			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10562			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10563			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10564			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10565			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10566			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10567			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10568			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10569			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10570			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10571
10572			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10573			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10574			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10575			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10576			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10577			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10578			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10579			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10580			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10581			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10582			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10583			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10584			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10585			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10586			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10587			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10588
10589			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10590			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10591			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10592			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10593			someone will. Maybe I will.
10594
10595			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10596			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10597			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10598			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10599			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10600			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10601			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10602			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10603
10604			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10605			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10606			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10607			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10608			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10609			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10610			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10611			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10612			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10613			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10614			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10615			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10616			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10617			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10618
10619			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10620			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10621			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10622			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10623
10624			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10625
10626			`I want to accomplish X.
10627
10628			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10629
10630			...
10631
10632			But instead it does Y.
10633
10634			Why is that?''
10635
10636			This one is also pretty good:
10637
10638			`I want to accomplish X.
10639			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10640
10641			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10642			because of Z.
10643
10644			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10645
10646			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
10647			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
10648
10649
10650			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
10651			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

10713	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
10714			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
10715			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
10716			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
10717	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
10718	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
10719			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
10720			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
10721			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
10722	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
10723	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer

10725	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
10726			nicht. ;)
10727
10728	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
10729			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
10730			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
10731	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
10732			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
10733	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
10734	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
10735
10736	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
10737			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
10738	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom

10799			The Unix shell as a 4GL
10800
10801			Unix provides hundreds of programs that can be piped together to easily
10802			perform almost any function imaginable. Nothing comes close to providing the
10803			functions that come standard with Unix. Programs and philosophies carried
10804			over from other systems put walls between the user and Unix, and the power
10805			of Unix is thrown away. The shell, extended with a few relational operators,
10806			is the fourth generation database scripting language most appropriate to the
10807			Unix environment.

10809	root	1.1	Perl is incredibly difficult to parse. For example, what's the difference
10810			between these:
10811
10812			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
10813			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
10814
10815			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
10816			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
10817			;#", and the print gets executed!
10818
10819			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
10820			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
10821			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
10822			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
10823
10824			Which led Larry to say at one point: "the only thing that can parse Perl is
10825			'perl'".

11168			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11169			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11170			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11171			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11172			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11173			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11174			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11175			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11176			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11177			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11178			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11179			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
