40
41			I got two letters back as answer to my one. #1: Malloc(0) shouldn't work
42			because zero-sized arrays don't work. #2: Zero-sized arrays shouldn't work

879			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
880			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
881			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
882			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
883
884			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
885			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
886			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
887			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
888			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
889			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
890

892
893			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
894			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
895			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
896			from fascism period.
897
898			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
899			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
900			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
901			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
902			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
903			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
904			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
905			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
906			SIAE.
907
908			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
909			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
910			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
911			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
912			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
913			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

915			electronic ones
916

918
919			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
920			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
921			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
922			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
923			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
924			western country.
925
926			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
927			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
928			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
929			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
930			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
931			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved

998			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
999
1000			Hi
1001
1002			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1003			someone here can advise me.
1004
1005			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1006			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1007			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1008			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1009			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1010
1011			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1012			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1013			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1014			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1015			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1016			corresponding thing in C?
1017
1018			Thanks!

1348			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1349			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1350			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1351			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1352			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1353			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die

1357			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1358			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1359			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1360			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1361			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1362			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1363			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1364			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1365			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1366			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1367			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1368			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1369			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1370			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!

1381
1382			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1383
1384			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1385			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1386			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1387			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1388			anfange.
1389
1390			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1391			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1392			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1393			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf

1418			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1419			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1420			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1421			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1422			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1423			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier

1721			Some examples:
1722
1723			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had

1736			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1737			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1738
1739			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail

1741			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1742			from Microsoft? You can't.
1743
1744			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1745			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1746			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1747			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1748			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1749			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1750			adversely affect its business partners.
1751
1752			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1753			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1754			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1755			about your behavior.
1756
1757			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1758			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1759			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1760			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1761			presumed infractions.
1762
1763			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1764			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1765			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1766
1767			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1768			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1769			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1770			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1771			user's device against him.
1772			[...]
1773			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1774			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1775			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1776			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1777			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1778			back-room marketing deals.

1955			By Bertrand Russell
1956
1957			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
1958			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
1959			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
1960			might be set forth as follows:
1961
1962			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
1963
1964			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
1965			evidence is sure to come to light.
1966
1967			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
1968
1969			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
1970			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
1971			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
1972
1973			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
1974			contrary authorities to be found.
1975
1976			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
1977			do the opinions will suppress you.
1978
1979			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
1980			was once eccentric.
1981
1982			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
1983			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
1984			agreement than the latter.
1985
1986			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
1987			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
1988
1989			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
1990			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

2979			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
2980
2981			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
2982			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
2983			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
2984			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
2985			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
2986			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
2987			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
2988			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
2989			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
2990			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
2991			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
2992			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
2993			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
2994			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
2995			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
2996			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
2997			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
2998			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
2999			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3000			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3001			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3002			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3003			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3004			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3005
3006			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3007			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3008			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3009			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3010			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3011
3012			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3013			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3014			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3015			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3016			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3017			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3018			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3019			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3020			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3021			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3022			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3023
3024			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3025			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3026			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3027			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3028			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3029			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3030			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3031			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3032			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3033			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3034			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3035			sovereign nation.
3036
3037			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3038			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3039			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3040			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3041			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3042			CSPAN, don't post here.

3103
3104			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3105
3106			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3107			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3108			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3109			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3110			explanation of this.
3111
3112			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3113
3114			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3115			which explains why the hammer falls.
3116
3117			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3118			how a population's genome can change over time.
3119
3120	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3121			mathematical relationship between two values.
3122	root	1.265
3123			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3124			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3125
3126			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3127			acceleration.
3128
3129			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3130			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3131			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3132			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3133			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3134			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3135			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3136			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3137			false.

3296	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3297			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3298
3299			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3300			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3301			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3302			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3303			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3304			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3305			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3306			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3307			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3308			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3309			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3310			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3311			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3312			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3313
3314			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3315			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3316			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3317			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3318			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3319			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3320			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

3985	root	1.146	AFTER 30 years of "daylight saving" - moving the clocks forward in the
3986			spring and then back again in the autumn - there is still an Abolish
3987			Daylight Saving Committee in New South Wales, Australia.
3988
3989			Added to the usual claims of such campaigns - for example, that the
3990			extra hour of daylight in the evening in summer fades the curtains - is
3991			a new one from ADSC spokeswoman Judith Hall, of Gunnedah, who told the
3992			Sydney Morning Herald: "No man has the right to choose the time of the
3993			rising and setting of the sun, only God."
3994
3995			Reader John McCallum, who told us about this, is surprised Hall doesn't
3996			explain why God doesn't simply exercise this choice. When people insist
3997			on moving their clocks forward, He should just move the sunrise forward
3998			and thwart them that way.

4366			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4367			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4368			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4369			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4370			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4371			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4372			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4373			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4374			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4375			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4376			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4377			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4378			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4379			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4380			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4381			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4382			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You
4383			should know, though, that I myself am an historian, not a programmer.

4702	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4703			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4704			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4705			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4706			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4707			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4708			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4709
4710			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4711			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4712			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4713			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4714			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4715			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4716			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4717			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4718			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4719			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4720
4721			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4722			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4723			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4724			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

4933			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the

4935
4936			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
4937
4938			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
4939			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
4940			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
4941			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is

4943			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
4944			take place on October 27th.
4945
4946			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
4947			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
4948			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
4949			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
4950			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
4951			the clock)...

5126			claiming that opening their systems is a security risk. Pity.

5129			A comment on Slashdot sums it up best: "Microsoft has therefore taken
5130			the position that their code is so bad that it must be kept secret to
5131			keep people from being killed by it. Windows -- the Pinto of the 21st
5132			century."
5133
5134			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5135			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5136			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5137			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5138			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5139			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5140			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5141			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5142			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5143			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5144			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5145			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your
5146			clearance pulled for blabbing like that. Jim Allchin's testimony:

5444			[...]
5445			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5446			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5447			[...]
5448			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5449			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5450			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5451			turned on by default.
5452			[...]
5453			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5454			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5455			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5456			[...]
5457			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5458			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5459			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5460			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5461			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5462			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5463			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5464			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this

6284			My first exposure to Unix came in 1987 when I was assigned to write a datacomm
6285			package in C on a Unix (AIX) workstation the company had just bought. I was the
6286			only one in our shop who knew C, and no one else there had ever dealt with Unix
6287			either. (I had heard of Unix, but didn't know anything about it.) My training
6288			consisted of my boss handing me the manuals and saying, "Figure it out." For
6289			the first two weeks I absolutely HATED that system; nothing made sense, vi
6290			seemed insane, and I was stumbling blindly through the documentation (I'd never
6291			seen a permuted index before). Then suddenly something clicked, it all started
6292			to make sense, and I fell in love with it. That's why I think it's so important
6293			for people to learn the Unix mindset before trying to deal with Unix systems.
6294			It's also why I have so little patience with people who don't have the patience
6295			to work through the learning curve.

7151
7152			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7153			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7154			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7158			do the right thing.
7159
7160			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7161			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7162			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7163			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7164			and they have to fix it.

8760			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
8761			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by
8762			its commercial-mimetic sustainer), designed so as to provide the
8763			appearance and functionality required to comply with one of the few
8764			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the

8767			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
8768			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
8769			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge
8770			pool, benefiting the sustainer in the short run due to the focus
8771			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
8772			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long
8773			run, as neither the 'windows' or 'posicks' schemas were relevant to
8774			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
8775			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale
8776			logic units (a fact that only a few meta-experts still need to be
8777			aware of), and 'windows' survives, for religious-mimetic reasons, as

9568			of ours totally destroyed his NT installation on Alpha.
9569
9570			He found on a manufacturer page, no money - for a download, "NT driver"
9571			for his particular piece of a hardware. So he followed instructions
9572			to the letter - "Installation Wizzard" and all that crap - and the thing
9573			happily installed clobbering, as it is customary in these circles,
9574			essential system libraries with its own versions. The catch was that
9575			this driver was for NT/Intel and these bozos did not even bother to
9576			check for an architecture or at least mention something in some blurb.
9577			Ooops! No chance even to try to boot anymore.
9578
9579			The saving grace was that the installation was rather new, so loses
9580			were not big, and he had an opportunity to practice an essential skill
9581			of re-installing Windows NT. Ah, and yes, this was the only NT driver
9582			available for that hardware from any source.

10636			Subject: Re: system() question
10637
10638			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10639			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10640			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10641			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10642			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10643			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10644			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10645			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10646			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10647			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10648			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10649			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10650			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10651			humiliating for me!)
10652
10653			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10654			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10655			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10656			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10657			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10658			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10659			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10660			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10661			really knows the answer.
10662
10663			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10664			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10665			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10666			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10667
10668			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10669			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10670			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10671			for that.
10672
10673			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10674			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10675			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10676			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10677			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10678			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10679			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10680
10681			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10682
10683			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10684			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10685			something for free.''
10686
10687			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10688
10689			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10690			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10691
10692			(Good question.)
10693
10694			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10695			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10696			once I have run it.''
10697			(Good question.)
10698
10699			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10700
10701			(Good question.)
10702
10703			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10704			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10705			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10706			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10707			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10708
10709			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10710			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10711			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10712			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10713			comp.lang.perl?
10714			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10715			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10716			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10717			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10718			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10719			in comp.lang.perl?
10720
10721			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10722			you my rate card.
10723
10724			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10725			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10726			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10727			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10728			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10729			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10730			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10731			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10732			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10733			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10734
10735			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10736			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10737			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10738			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10739			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10740			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10741			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10742			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10743			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10744			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10745			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10746			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10747			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10748			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10749			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10750			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10751
10752			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10753			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10754			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10755			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10756			someone will. Maybe I will.
10757
10758			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10759			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10760			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10761			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10762			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10763			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10764			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10765			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10766
10767			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10768			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10769			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10770			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10771			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10772			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10773			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10774			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10775			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10776			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10777			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10778			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10779			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10780			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10781
10782			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10783			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10784			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10785			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10786
10787			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10788
10789			`I want to accomplish X.
10790
10791			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10792
10793			...
10794

10876	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
10877			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
10878			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
10879			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
10880	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
10881	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
10882			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
10883			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
10884			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
10885	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
10886	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
10887			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
10888	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
10889			nicht. ;)
10890
10891	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
10892			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
10893			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
10894	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
10895			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
10896	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
10897	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
10898
10899	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
10900			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
10901	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
10902	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder

10908			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
10909	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an
10910	root	1.388	sich wird nicht in Frage gestellt dadurch, daß man sich etwas - egal was -

10973			between these:
10974
10975			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
10976			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
10977
10978			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
10979			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
10980			;#", and the print gets executed!
10981
10982			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
10983			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
10984			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
10985			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

11328			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
11329			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11330			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11331			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11332			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11333			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11334			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11335			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11336			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11337			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11338			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11339			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11340			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11341			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11342			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
