85
86			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
87			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
88
89			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
90			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
91			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
92			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
93			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
94
95			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
96			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
97			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
98			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
99			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
100			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
101			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
102			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
103			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
104
105			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
106			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
107			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
108			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
109			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
110			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
111			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
112			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
113			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
114			maintainer.

1017			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1018			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1019			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1020			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1021
1022			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1023			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1024			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1025			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1026			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1027			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1028
1029			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1030
1031			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1032			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1033			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1034			from fascism period.
1035
1036			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1037			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1038			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1039			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1040			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1041			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1042			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1043			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1044			SIAE.
1045
1046			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1047			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1048			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1049			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1050			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1051			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing
1052			your petition (and you need at least 500, and with a REAL signs, not

1056
1057			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1058			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1059			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1060			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1061			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1062			western country.
1063
1064			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1065			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1066			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1067			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1068			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1069			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1070			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1071			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,

1136			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1137
1138			Hi
1139
1140			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1141			someone here can advise me.
1142
1143			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1144			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1145			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1146			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1147			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1148
1149			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1150			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1151			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1152			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1153			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1154			corresponding thing in C?

1440			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1441			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1442			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1443			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1444			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1445			es nicht.
1446
1447			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1448			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1449			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1450			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1451			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1452			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1453
1454			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1455			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1456			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1457			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1458			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1459			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1460			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1461			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1462			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1463			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1464			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1465			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1466			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1467			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1468
1469			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1470			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1471			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1472			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1473			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1474			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1475			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1476
1477			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1478			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1479			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1480			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1481			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1482			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1483			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1484			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1485			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1486			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1487			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1488			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1489			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1490			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1491			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1492			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1493			alternativ' Idioten!
1494
1495			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1496			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1497			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1498			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1499			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1500			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1501			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1502			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1503			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1504			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1505			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1506			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1507			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1508			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1509
1510			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1511			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1512			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

1515
1516			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1517			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1518			Dinge zu sagen:
1519
1520			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1521
1522			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1523			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1524			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1525			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1526			anfange.
1527
1528			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1529			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1530			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1531			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1532			dieser verdammten schule!

1535			die Welt zu bieten hat!

1540			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1541			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1542			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1543			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1544			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1545			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1546			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1547			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1548			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1549
1550			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1551			Einschulung.
1552
1553			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1554			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1555			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1556			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1557			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1558			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1559			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1560			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1561			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier

1747			By January 1st, 2007, everyone crossing the border between the U.S. and Canada is supposed to have
1748			a passport. This is because of terrorism, of course. But now we learn that ferries and private
1749			watercraft will be exempt. One of two things is true. Either passports are required for
1750			security, in which case we should interfere with ferries. Or they're for show, in which case we
1751			can just do what's convenient. Or maybe we just know that terrorists never take ferries. I get
1752			that security is a trade-off, but this is kind of silly.

1850			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1851			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1852			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1853			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1854			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1855			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1856			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1857			companies want to own your computer.
1858
1859			Some examples:
1860
1861			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1862			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1863			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1864			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1865			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1866			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1867			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1868			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1869			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1870	root	1.432
1871	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1872			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1873			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1874			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1875			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1876
1877			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1878			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1879			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1880			from Microsoft? You can't.
1881
1882			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1883			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1884			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1885			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1886			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1887			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1888			adversely affect its business partners.
1889
1890			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1891			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1892			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1893			about your behavior.
1894
1895			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1896			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1897			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1898			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1899			presumed infractions.
1900
1901			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1902			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1903			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1904
1905			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1906			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1907			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1908			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1909			user's device against him.
1910			[...]
1911			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1912			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1913			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1914			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1915			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1916			back-room marketing deals.

2093			By Bertrand Russell
2094
2095			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2096			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2097			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2098			might be set forth as follows:
2099
2100			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2101
2102			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2103			evidence is sure to come to light.
2104
2105			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2106
2107			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2108			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2109			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2110
2111			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2112			contrary authorities to be found.
2113
2114			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2115			do the opinions will suppress you.
2116
2117			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2118			was once eccentric.
2119
2120			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2121			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2122			agreement than the latter.
2123
2124			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2125			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2126
2127			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2128			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

2965
2966			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother
2967			would let you ride a motorbike. You tell your friends you're pulling
2968			in $50,000 a year and $2,000 a month "playing the stock market" but
2969			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from
2970			MSFT havn't been good in years. Your non computing friends all turn
2971			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
2972			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
2973			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
2974			dates in bars but women laugh at you.

2979			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
2980			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
2981			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
2982			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
2983			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
2984			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
2985			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.

2989			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have

3117			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3118
3119			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3120			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3121			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3122			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3123			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3124			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3125			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3126			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3127			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3128			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3129			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3130			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3131			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3132			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3133			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3134			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3135			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3136			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3137			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3138			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3139			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3140			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3141			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3142			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3143
3144			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3145			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3146			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3147			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3148			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3149
3150			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3151			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3152			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3153			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3154			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3155			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3156			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3157			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3158			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3159			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3160			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3161
3162			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3163			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3164			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3165			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3166			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3167			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3168			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3169			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3170			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3171			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3172			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3173			sovereign nation.
3174
3175			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3176			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3177			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3178			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3179			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3180			CSPAN, don't post here.

3243
3244			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3245			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3246			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process

3249
3250			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3251
3252			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3253			which explains why the hammer falls.
3254
3255			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3256			how a population's genome can change over time.

3265			acceleration.
3266
3267			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3268			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of

3270			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3271			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3272			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3273			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach

3282			Fans von reflexiven und komplexen Musikstilen wie Klassik, Blues, Jazz und

3284	root	1.388	sich für intelligent - und sind es auch. Außerdem können sie gut mit
3285			Worten umgehen, schätzen das schöne. haben eine starke Vorstellungskraft

3289	root	1.388	Anhänger von intensiven und rebellischen Musikrichtungen wie Heavy Metal,
3290			Rock und alternativer Musik sind offen für Experimente. Sie halten sich
3291			außerdem für intelligent, eloquent und sportlich. Obwohl die Musik, die

3293			sie abzufärben: Sie sind weder neurotischer noch unverträglicher als die

3300			umgänglicher Zeitgenosse: Er geht gern aus sich heraus, ist verträglich,
3301			fröhlich, zuverlässig, hilfsbereit und gewissenhaft. Seine Einstellungen
3302	root	1.264	sind eher konservativ, Beredesamkeit und Offenheit sind nicht seine

3434	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3435			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3436
3437			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3438			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3439			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3440			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3441			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3442			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3443			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3444			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3445			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3446			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3447			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3448			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3449			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3450			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3451
3452			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3453			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3454			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3455			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3456			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3457			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3458			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4379			if you want to send a report? The reports obviously accumulate in some
4380			database, and I can only assume that when one bin piles up with similar
4381			crash memos, the coders get to work. Exactly how many notifications does
4382			Microsoft get? Nobody knows for sure, but based on comments Bill Gates
4383			made at a recent meeting for analysts, the number must be astronomical.
4384			Gates said that 5 percent of Windows machines crash, on average, twice
4385			daily.

4504			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4505			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4506			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4507			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4508			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4509			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4510			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4511			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4512			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4513			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4514			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4515			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4516			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4517			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4518			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4519			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4520			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4840	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4841			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4842			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4843			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4844			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4845			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4846			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4847
4848			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4849			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4850			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4851			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4852			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4853			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4854			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4855			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4856			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4857			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4858
4859			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4860			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4861			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4862			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5068

5073
5074			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5075
5076			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5077			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5078			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,

5082			take place on October 27th.
5083
5084			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5085			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5086			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5087			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5088			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change

5273			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5274			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5275			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5276			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5277			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5278			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5279			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5280			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5281			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5282			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5283			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

5576			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
5577
5578			[...]
5579			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5580			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5581			of for Windows desktop systems."
5582			[...]
5583			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5584			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5585			[...]
5586			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5587			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5588			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5589			turned on by default.
5590			[...]
5591			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5592			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5593			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5594			[...]
5595			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5596			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5597			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5598			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5599			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5600			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5601			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5602			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5603			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

6316			an unanticipated side effect of only scheduling the first two threads

7015			Actually you can't ignore it or the processor will have a heart attack
7016			if the cached page mapping is used even speculatively. I've done some
7017			experimenting, if the page is mapped cached in one place, and UCWC in
7018			another, things will not work. Its extremely likely the processor will
7019			cease to function. Its not like having cached and uncached mappings of
7020			a page (which does work on the Intel processors, we use that feature in
7021			the agpgart and the DRM in fact.) When you mark a page UCWC, you better
7022			have removed all cached mappings or your asking for REAL trouble.

7290			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to

7297

7299			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7300			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by

8743
8744			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8745			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8746			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8747			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8748			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8749			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8750			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8751			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8752			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8753			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8754			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8755			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8756			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8757			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8758			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8759			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8760			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8761			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8762			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8763			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8764			work.
8765			[...]
8766			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8767			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8768			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8769			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8770			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8771			search generically - then it has some potential.
8772			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8773			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8774			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
8775			intellectual value whatsoever.

8905			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
8906			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent

8909			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic

8913			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale

10778			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My

10780			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10781			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10782			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10783			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10784			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10785			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native

10798			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10799			really knows the answer.
10800
10801			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10802			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10803			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10804			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10805
10806			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10807			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10808			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10809			for that.
10810
10811			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10812			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10813			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10814			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10815			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10816			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10817			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10818
10819			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10820
10821			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10822			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10823			something for free.''
10824
10825			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10826
10827			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10828			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10829
10830			(Good question.)
10831
10832			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10833			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10834			once I have run it.''
10835			(Good question.)
10836
10837			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10838
10839			(Good question.)
10840
10841			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10842			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10843			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10844			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10845			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10846
10847			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10848			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10849			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10850			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10851			comp.lang.perl?
10852			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10853			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10854			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10855			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10856			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10857			in comp.lang.perl?
10858
10859			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10860			you my rate card.
10861
10862			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10863			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10864			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10865			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10866			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10867			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10868			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10869			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10870			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10871			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10872
10873			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10874			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10875			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10876			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10877			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10878			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10879			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10880			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10881			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10882			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10883			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10884			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10885			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10886			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10887			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10888			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10889
10890			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10891			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10892			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10893			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10894			someone will. Maybe I will.
10895
10896			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10897			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10898			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10899			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10900			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10901			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10902			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10903			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10904
10905			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10906			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10907			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10908			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10909			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10910			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10911			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10912			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10913			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10914			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10915			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10916			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10917			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10918			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10919
10920			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10921			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10922			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10923			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10924
10925			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10926
10927			`I want to accomplish X.
10928
10929			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10930
10931			...
10932
10933			But instead it does Y.
10934
10935			Why is that?''
10936
10937			This one is also pretty good:
10938
10939			`I want to accomplish X.
10940			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10941
10942			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10943			because of Z.
10944
10945			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10946
10947			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
10948			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
10949
10950
10951			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
10952			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11014	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11015			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11016			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11017			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11018	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11019	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11020			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11021			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11022			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11023	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11024	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11025			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11026	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11027			nicht. ;)
11028
11029	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11030			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11031			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11032	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11033			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11034	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11035	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11036
11037	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11038			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11039	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom

11046			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11047	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

11111			between these:
11112
11113			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11114			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11115
11116			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11117			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11118			;#", and the print gets executed!
11119
11120			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11121			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11122			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11123			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

11466			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
11467			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11468			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11469			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11470			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11471			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11472			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11473			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11474			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11475			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11476			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11477			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11478			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11479			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
