191			option. The system was generally fine, but once in awhile would scramble
192			a memory transfer enough to cause a crash. CCache was a LOT of help in
193			that instance, as it’s what allowed me to even install Gentoo at all —

1021			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1022
1023			Hi
1024
1025			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1026			someone here can advise me.
1027
1028			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1029			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1030			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1031			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1032			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1033
1034			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1035			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1036			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1037			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1038			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1039			corresponding thing in C?
1040
1041			Thanks!

1346			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1347			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1348			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1349			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1350			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1351			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1352			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1353
1354			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1355			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1356			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1357			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1358			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1359			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1360			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1361
1362			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1363			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1364			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1365			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1366			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1367			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1368			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1369			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1370			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1371			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1372			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1373			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1374			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1375			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1376			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1377			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1378			alternativ' Idioten!
1379
1380			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1381			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1382			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1383			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1384			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1385			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1386			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1387			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1388			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1389			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1390			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1391			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1392			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1393			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1394
1395			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1396			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1397			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

1400
1401			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1402			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1403			Dinge zu sagen:
1404
1405			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1406
1407			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1408			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1409			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1410			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1411			anfange.
1412
1413			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1414			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1415			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1416			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1417			dieser verdammten schule!

1428			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1429			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1430			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche

1435			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1436			Einschulung.
1437
1438			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1439			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1440			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1441			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1442			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1443			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1444			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1445			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1446			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
1447			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!

1742			companies want to own your computer.
1743
1744			Some examples:
1745
1746			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1747			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1748			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1749			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1750			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1751			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1752			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1753			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1754			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1755	root	1.432
1756	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1757			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1758			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1759			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1760			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1761
1762			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1763			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1764			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1765			from Microsoft? You can't.
1766
1767			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1768			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1769			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1770			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1771			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1772			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1773			adversely affect its business partners.
1774
1775			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1776			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1777			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1778			about your behavior.
1779
1780			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1781			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1782			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1783			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1784			presumed infractions.
1785
1786			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1787			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1788			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1789
1790			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1791			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1792			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1793			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1794			user's device against him.
1795			[...]
1796			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1797			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1798			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1799			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1800			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1801			back-room marketing deals.

1978			By Bertrand Russell
1979
1980			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
1981			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
1982			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
1983			might be set forth as follows:
1984
1985			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
1986
1987			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
1988			evidence is sure to come to light.
1989
1990			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
1991
1992			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
1993			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
1994			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
1995
1996			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
1997			contrary authorities to be found.
1998
1999			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2000			do the opinions will suppress you.
2001
2002			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2003			was once eccentric.
2004
2005			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2006			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2007			agreement than the latter.
2008
2009			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2010			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2011
2012			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2013			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

3002			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3003
3004			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3005			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3006			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3007			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3008			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3009			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3010			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3011			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3012			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3013			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3014			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3015			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3016			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3017			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3018			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3019			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3020			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3021			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3022			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3023			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3024			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3025			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3026			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3027			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3028
3029			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3030			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3031			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3032			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3033			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3034
3035			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3036			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3037			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3038			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3039			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3040			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3041			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3042			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3043			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3044			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3045			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3046
3047			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3048			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3049			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3050			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3051			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3052			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3053			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3054			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3055			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3056			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3057			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3058			sovereign nation.
3059
3060			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3061			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3062			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3063			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3064			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3065			CSPAN, don't post here.

3126
3127			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3128
3129			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3130			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3131			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3132			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3133			explanation of this.
3134
3135			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3136
3137			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3138			which explains why the hammer falls.
3139
3140			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3141			how a population's genome can change over time.
3142
3143	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3144			mathematical relationship between two values.

3146			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3147			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3148
3149			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3150			acceleration.
3151
3152			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3153			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3154			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3155			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3156			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3157			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3158			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3159			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3160			false.

3319	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3320			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3321
3322			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3323			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3324			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3325			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3326			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3327			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3328			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3329			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3330			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3331			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3332			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3333			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3334			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3335			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3336
3337			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3338			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3339			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3340			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3341			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3342			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3343			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

3997			In America there are two meanings for resume. One being to continue the

4000			a short u. I think there is a "`" in the proper spelling of the word but

4011

4389			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4390			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4391			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4392			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4393			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4394			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4395			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4396			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4397			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4398			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4399			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4400			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4401			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4402			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4403			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4404			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4405			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You
4406			should know, though, that I myself am an historian, not a programmer.

4725	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4726			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4727			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4728			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4729			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4730			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4731			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4732
4733			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4734			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4735			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4736			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4737			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4738			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4739			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4740			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4741			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4742			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4743
4744			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4745			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4746			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4747			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

4963			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,

4968
4969			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
4970			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
4971			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
4972			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
4973			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change

5149			claiming that opening their systems is a security risk. Pity.

5152			A comment on Slashdot sums it up best: "Microsoft has therefore taken
5153			the position that their code is so bad that it must be kept secret to
5154			keep people from being killed by it. Windows -- the Pinto of the 21st
5155			century."
5156
5157			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5158			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5159			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5160			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5161			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5162			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5163			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5164			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5165			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5166			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5167			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5168			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your
5169			clearance pulled for blabbing like that. Jim Allchin's testimony:

5467			[...]
5468			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5469			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5470			[...]
5471			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5472			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5473			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5474			turned on by default.
5475			[...]
5476			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5477			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5478			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5479			[...]
5480			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5481			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5482			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've

5484			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5485			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5486			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5487			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this

6309			only one in our shop who knew C, and no one else there had ever dealt with Unix

6311			consisted of my boss handing me the manuals and saying, "Figure it out." For

6313			seemed insane, and I was stumbling blindly through the documentation (I'd never

6315			to make sense, and I fell in love with it. That's why I think it's so important
6316			for people to learn the Unix mindset before trying to deal with Unix systems.
6317			It's also why I have so little patience with people who don't have the patience
6318			to work through the learning curve.

6630			IrOBEX (Irda Object Exchange): A standard made by Microsoft, and it really
6631			shows.
6632
6633			First of all, it is utterly inefficient in transfers: RTT totally dictates
6634			transfer speed, not a good thing with Irda (which has a high RTT). This
6635			totally circumvents the sliding windows irda protocol.
6636
6637			Also, the IrOBEX specification talks a lot about "Unicode" text without
6638			defining it (except through totally wrong descriptions like "Unicode
6639			is two bytes/character", showing their total lack of knowledge since
6640			this is just plain wrong. I wonder what they mean with "Unicode", some
6641			MS-proprietary format? Not unlikely, given what they did to iso-8859-1).

7174
7175			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7176			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7177			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7180			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7181			do the right thing.
7182
7183			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7184			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7185			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7186			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7187			and they have to fix it.

8783			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
8784			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by
8785			its commercial-mimetic sustainer), designed so as to provide the
8786			appearance and functionality required to comply with one of the few
8787			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the
8788			time. Unsurprising given the non-integration imperitives used by the

8790			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
8791			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
8792			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge

8794			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
8795			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long

8797			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
8798			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale
8799			logic units (a fact that only a few meta-experts still need to be

9593			He found on a manufacturer page, no money - for a download, "NT driver"
9594			for his particular piece of a hardware. So he followed instructions
9595			to the letter - "Installation Wizzard" and all that crap - and the thing
9596			happily installed clobbering, as it is customary in these circles,

10659			Subject: Re: system() question
10660
10661			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10662			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10663			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10664			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10665			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10666			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10667			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10668			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10669			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10670			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10671			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10672			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10673			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10674			humiliating for me!)
10675
10676			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10677			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10678			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10679			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10680			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10681			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10682			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10683			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10684			really knows the answer.
10685
10686			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10687			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10688			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10689			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10690
10691			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10692			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10693			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10694			for that.
10695
10696			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10697			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10698			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10699			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10700			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10701			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10702			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10703
10704			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10705
10706			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10707			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10708			something for free.''
10709
10710			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10711
10712			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10713			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10714
10715			(Good question.)
10716
10717			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10718			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10719			once I have run it.''
10720			(Good question.)
10721
10722			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10723
10724			(Good question.)
10725
10726			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10727			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10728			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10729			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10730			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10731
10732			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10733			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10734			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10735			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10736			comp.lang.perl?
10737			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10738			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10739			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10740			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10741			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10742			in comp.lang.perl?
10743
10744			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10745			you my rate card.
10746
10747			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10748			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10749			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10750			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10751			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10752			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10753			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10754			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10755			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10756			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10757
10758			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10759			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10760			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10761			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10762			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10763			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10764			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10765			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10766			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10767			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10768			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10769			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10770			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10771			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10772			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10773			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10774
10775			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10776			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10777			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10778			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10779			someone will. Maybe I will.
10780
10781			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10782			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10783			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10784			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10785			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10786			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10787			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10788			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10789
10790			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10791			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10792			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10793			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10794			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10795			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10796			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10797			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10798			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10799			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10800			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10801			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10802			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10803			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10804
10805			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10806			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10807			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10808			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10809
10810			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10811
10812			`I want to accomplish X.
10813
10814			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10815
10816			...
10817
10818			But instead it does Y.
10819
10820			Why is that?''
10821
10822			This one is also pretty good:
10823
10824			`I want to accomplish X.
10825			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10826
10827			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10828			because of Z.
10829
10830			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10831
10832			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
10833			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.

10899	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
10900			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
10901			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
10902			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
10903	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
10904	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
10905			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
10906			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
10907			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
10908	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
10909	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
10910			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
10911	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
10912			nicht. ;)
10913
10914	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
10915			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
10916			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
10917	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
10918			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
10919	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
10920	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
10921
10922	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
10923			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
10924	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
10925	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder

10931			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
10932	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

10997
10998			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
10999			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11000
11001			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11002			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11003			;#", and the print gets executed!
11004
11005			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11006			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11007			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11008			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

11352			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11353			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11354			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11355			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11356			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11357			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11358			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original

11360			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11361			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11362			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11363			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11364			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
