5			choice, ECDSA, is reasonable if you don't care about simplicity, speed,

16			In the past decade there have been many attacks against TLS. With the
17			exception of CRIME, not one of them relied on any results that were not
18			known at the time the TLS 1.0 standard was being written. [...] Every time
19			this standards group has had a choice to make regarding cryptography,
20			they have made the wrong one. [...] Were TLS to be submitted by an
21			undergraduate as a solution to this problem it would earn an F.

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

94			work around your bugs, and say that we should have done so from the
95			very beginning.

810			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
811			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
812			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
813			from fascism period.
814
815			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
816			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
817			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
818			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
819			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
820			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
821			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
822			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
823			SIAE.
824
825			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
826			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
827			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
828			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
829			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
830			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

836			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
837			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
838			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
839			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
840			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in

843			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our

845			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
846			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
847			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
848			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
849			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology

916
917			Hi
918
919			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
920			someone here can advise me.
921
922			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
923			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
924			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
925			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
926			happens with the customer looking on!!).
927
928			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
929			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
930			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
931			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
932			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
933			corresponding thing in C?

954			(A lot of this OPM stuff seems to come straight from the twilight
955			zone. It's normal to have error codes indicating that there was a disk
956			error or that a network packet got garbled, but I'm sure Windows Vista
957			must be the first OS in history to have error codes for things like

1012
1013			Easy .
1014			Security : most hackable operating systems are unix based .
1015			Portability : try installing unix on cutting edge hardware . bad luck it won`t work . install windows (the oldest) on any ... it will .
1016			Help : try get help for linux . after exploring tons of sites and forums the help you got is useless . for windows you just call them .
1017			Applications : we all know there are more and more on windows . linux will probably never get so many .
1018			GUI : we know how customisable is the windows gui . and how stable .
1019			Gaming : ...anyone got an ideea of a linux game that is really cool ?
1020			Cost : install linux as server ... it is free no ? but you have to pay a sysadmin . or learn a lot . buy a lot of books . using windows ... just click next . if you are not dumb you might make it secure too (reading help does HELP! ) .
1021			Virus : due to the fact that windows is so flexible it is logcal to have viruses . afterall the human body has more than a monkeys one .
1022			Stability : reboot windows 100 times by using the case button . perhaps a scandisk will appear . reboot linux ... ups kernel panic .

1219			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1220			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1221			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1222			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1223			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1224			es nicht.
1225
1226			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1227			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1228			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1229			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1230			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1231			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1232
1233			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1234			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1235			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1236			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1237			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1238			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1239			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1240			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1241			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1242			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1243			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1244			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1245			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1246			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1247
1248			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1249			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1250			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1251			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1252			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1253			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1254			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1255
1256			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1257			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1258			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1259			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1260			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1261			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1262			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1263			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1264			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1265			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1266			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1267			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1268			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1269			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1270			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1271			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1272			alternativ' Idioten!
1273
1274			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1275			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1276			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1277			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1278			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1279			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1280			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1281			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1282			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1283			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1284			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1285			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1286			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1287			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1288
1289			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1290			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1291			Ausgestossenen beitragen!
1292
1293			Ich will R A C H E !
1294
1295			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1296			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1297			Dinge zu sagen:
1298
1299			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1300
1301			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1302			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1303			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1304			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1305			anfange.
1306
1307			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1308			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1309			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1310			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1311			dieser verdammten schule!

1319			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1320			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1321			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1322			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1323			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1324			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1325			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1326			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1327			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1328
1329			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1330			Einschulung.
1331
1332			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1333			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1334			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1335			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1336			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen

1629			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1630			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1631			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1632			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1633			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1634			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1635			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1636			companies want to own your computer.
1637
1638			Some examples:
1639
1640			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1641			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1642			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1643			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1644			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1645			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1646			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1647			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1648			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1649	root	1.432
1650	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1651			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1652			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1653			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1654			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1655
1656			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1657			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1658			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1659			from Microsoft? You can't.
1660
1661			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1662			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1663			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1664			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1665			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1666			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1667			adversely affect its business partners.
1668
1669			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1670			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1671			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1672			about your behavior.
1673
1674			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1675			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1676			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1677			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1678			presumed infractions.
1679
1680			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1681			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1682			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1683
1684			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1685			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1686			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1687			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1688			user's device against him.
1689			[...]
1690			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1691			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1692			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1693			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1694			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1695			back-room marketing deals.

1872			By Bertrand Russell
1873
1874			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
1875			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
1876			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
1877			might be set forth as follows:
1878
1879			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
1880
1881			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
1882			evidence is sure to come to light.
1883
1884			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
1885
1886			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
1887			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
1888			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
1889
1890			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
1891			contrary authorities to be found.
1892
1893			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
1894			do the opinions will suppress you.
1895
1896			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
1897			was once eccentric.
1898
1899			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
1900			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
1901			agreement than the latter.
1902
1903			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
1904			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
1905
1906			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
1907			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

2896			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
2897
2898			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
2899			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
2900			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
2901			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
2902			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
2903			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
2904			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
2905			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
2906			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
2907			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
2908			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
2909			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
2910			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
2911			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
2912			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
2913			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
2914			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
2915			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
2916			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
2917			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
2918			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
2919			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
2920			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
2921			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
2922
2923			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
2924			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
2925			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
2926			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
2927			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
2928
2929			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
2930			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
2931			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
2932			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
2933			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
2934			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
2935			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
2936			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
2937			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
2938			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
2939			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
2940
2941			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
2942			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
2943			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
2944			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
2945			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
2946			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
2947			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
2948			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
2949			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
2950			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
2951			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
2952			sovereign nation.
2953
2954			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
2955			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
2956			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
2957			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
2958			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
2959			CSPAN, don't post here.

3020
3021			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3022
3023			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3024			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3025			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3026			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3027			explanation of this.
3028
3029			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3030
3031			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3032			which explains why the hammer falls.
3033
3034			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3035			how a population's genome can change over time.
3036
3037	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a

3040			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3041			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3042
3043			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3044			acceleration.
3045
3046			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3047			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3048			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3049			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3050			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3051			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3052			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3053			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3054			false.

3214			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3215
3216			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3217			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3218			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3219			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3220			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3221			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3222			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3223			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3224			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3225			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3226			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3227			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3228			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3229			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3230
3231			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3232			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3233			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3234			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend

4285			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4286			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4287			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4288			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."

4619	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4620			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4621			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4622			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4623			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4624			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4625			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4626
4627			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4628			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4629			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4630			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4631			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4632			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4633			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4634			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4635			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4636			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4637
4638			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4639			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4640			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4641			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

4847
4848			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be

4850			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the

4852
4853			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
4854
4855			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
4856			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
4857			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
4858			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is

4860			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
4861			take place on October 27th.
4862
4863			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
4864			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
4865			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
4866			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
4867			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
4868			the clock)...

5052			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5053			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5054			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5055			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5056			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5057			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5058			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5059			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5060			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5061			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently

5133			- I can apply patches to bitkeeper repository using the normal 'patch',

5361			[...]
5362			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5363			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5364			[...]
5365			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5366			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5367			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5368			turned on by default.
5369			[...]
5370			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5371			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5372			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5373			[...]
5374			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5375			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5376			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5377			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5378			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5379			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5380			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5381			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5382			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

5895			This story is too weird for words. Microsoft adds PGP signatures at the

5897			verify the signatures, they fail. Already there has been at least one
5898			forged security bulletin, urging people to install a "patch" with a Trojan

7068
7069			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7070			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7071			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7072			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7073			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7074			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7075			do the right thing.
7076
7077			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7078			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7079			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7080			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7081			and they have to fix it.

7398			on the principles of programming languages in the third year. The

8527			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's

8529			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8530			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8531			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8532			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8533			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8534			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8535			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8536			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8537			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8538			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8539			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8540			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8541			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8542			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8543			work.

8545			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some

8675	root	1.1	"And over here, ladies and gentlemen, may I draw your attention to
8676			the 'posicks box', a mechanism within one of the late 20th century
8677			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
8678			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by
8679			its commercial-mimetic sustainer), designed so as to provide the
8680			appearance and functionality required to comply with one of the few
8681			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the
8682			time. Unsurprising given the non-integration imperitives used by the
8683			agent's sustainter, this mechanism was demonstrated to be an ingenious
8684			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
8685			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
8686			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge
8687			pool, benefiting the sustainer in the short run due to the focus
8688			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
8689			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long
8690			run, as neither the 'windows' or 'posicks' schemas were relevant to
8691			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
8692			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale
8693			logic units (a fact that only a few meta-experts still need to be
8694			aware of), and 'windows' survives, for religious-mimetic reasons, as
8695			the human-communication agent in a few stereotypical toasters and soap

9981			section number in the Unix manual. He can then use man man to find
9982			that on Solaris one uses -s to specify the section so he'll try
9983
9984			man -s3 crypt
9985
9986			Unfortunately, that doesn't work either. He'll get the message "No
9987			entry for crypt in section(s) 3 of the manual."
9988
9989			If he doesn't give up, he can go back to the manual page for man and
9990			find that the -a switch prints all matching manual pages. Or perhaps
9991			he can figure out to use the command
9992
9993			man -s3 Intro.3
9994
9995			to get a list of everything in section 3. He'll then find out that
9996			crypt is in section 3C so he should use
9997
9998			man -s3c crypt
9999
10000			Gee. I don't understand why beginners have so much trouble with this
10001			stuff. I've only been programming Unix for 15 years and I don't have
10002			any trouble.

10553			Subject: Re: system() question
10554
10555			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10556			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10557			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10558			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10559			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10560			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10561			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10562			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10563			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10564			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10565			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10566			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10567			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10568			humiliating for me!)
10569
10570			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10571			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10572			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10573			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10574			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10575			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10576			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10577			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10578			really knows the answer.
10579
10580			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10581			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10582			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10583			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10584
10585			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10586			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10587			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10588			for that.
10589
10590			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10591			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10592			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10593			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10594			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10595			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10596			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10597
10598			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10599
10600			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10601			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10602			something for free.''
10603
10604			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10605
10606			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10607			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10608
10609			(Good question.)
10610
10611			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10612			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10613			once I have run it.''
10614			(Good question.)
10615
10616			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10617
10618			(Good question.)
10619
10620			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10621			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10622			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10623			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10624			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10625
10626			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10627			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10628			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10629			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10630			comp.lang.perl?
10631			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10632			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10633			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10634			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10635			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10636			in comp.lang.perl?
10637
10638			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10639			you my rate card.
10640
10641			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10642			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10643			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10644			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10645			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10646			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10647			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10648			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10649			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10650			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10651
10652			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10653			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10654			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10655			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10656			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10657			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10658			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10659			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10660			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10661			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10662			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10663			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10664			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10665			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10666			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10667			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10668
10669			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10670			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10671			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10672			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10673			someone will. Maybe I will.
10674
10675			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10676			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10677			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10678			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10679			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10680			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10681			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10682			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10683
10684			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10685			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10686			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10687			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10688			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10689			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10690			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10691			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10692			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10693			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10694			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10695			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10696			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10697			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10698
10699			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10700			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10701			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10702			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10703
10704			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10705
10706			`I want to accomplish X.
10707
10708			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10709
10710			...
10711
10712			But instead it does Y.
10713
10714			Why is that?''
10715
10716			This one is also pretty good:
10717
10718			`I want to accomplish X.
10719			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10720
10721			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10722			because of Z.
10723
10724			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10725
10726			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
10727			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
10728
10729
10730			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
10731			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

10890			between these:
10891
10892			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
10893			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
10894
10895			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
10896			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
10897			;#", and the print gets executed!
10898
10899			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
10900			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
10901			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
10902			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
10903

11244	root	1.1	In Germany, where typeface design has always been a significant part of
11245			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
11246			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11247			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11248			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11249			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11250			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11251			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11252			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11253			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11254			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11255			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11256			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11257			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11258			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11259			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
