42			when he’d been a kid, there had been a performance artist making
43			the rounds—Jila Sorormaya, her name was. As he recalled, she’d
44			intentionally corrupted data-storage devices and then put the data stream
45			through her music kit. She’d gotten into trouble when some of the
46			proprietary code of the storage device software got incorporated into her

137
138			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
139			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
140
141			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
142			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
143			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
144			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
145			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
146
147			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
148			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
149			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
150			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
151			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
152			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
153			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
154			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
155			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
156
157			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
158			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
159			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
160			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
161			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
162			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
163			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
164			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
165			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
166			maintainer.

626			B: Using x, y, and z, my result doesn't agree with yours at all. Are you
627			sure you did the procedures that you claimed?

1069			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1070			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1071			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1072			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1073
1074			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1075			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1076			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1077			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1078			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1079			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1080
1081			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1082
1083			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1084			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1085			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1086			from fascism period.
1087
1088			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1089			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1090			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1091			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1092			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1093			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1094			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1095			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1096			SIAE.
1097
1098			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1099			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1100			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1101			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1102			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1103			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1108
1109			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1110			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1111			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1112			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1113			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1114			western country.
1115
1116			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1117			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1118			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1119			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1120			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1121			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1122			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1123			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
1124			also the governments of "center-left".

1188			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1189
1190			Hi
1191
1192			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1193			someone here can advise me.
1194
1195			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1196			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1197			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1198			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1199			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1200
1201			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1202			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1203			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1204			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1205			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1206			corresponding thing in C?

1492			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1493			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1494			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1495			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1496			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1497			es nicht.
1498
1499			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1500			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1501			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1502			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1503			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1504			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1505
1506			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1507			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1508			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1509			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1510			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1511			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1512			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1513			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1514			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1515			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1516			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1517			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1518			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1519			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1520
1521			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1522			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1523			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1524			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1525			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1526			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1527			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1528
1529			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1530			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1531			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1532			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1533			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1534			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1535			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1536			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1537			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1538			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1539			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1540			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1541			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1542			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1543			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1544			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1545			alternativ' Idioten!
1546
1547			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1548			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1549			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1550			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1551			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1552			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1553			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1554			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1555			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1556			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1557			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1558			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1559			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1560			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1561
1562			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will

1567
1568			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1569			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1570			Dinge zu sagen:
1571
1572			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1573
1574			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1575			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1576			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1577			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1578			anfange.
1579
1580			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1581			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1582			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1583			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1584			dieser verdammten schule!

1594			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1595			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1596			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1597			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1598			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der

1600			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!

1603			Einschulung.
1604
1605			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1606			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1607			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1608			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1609			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1610			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1611			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1612			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine

1902			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1903			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1904			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1905			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1906			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1907			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1908			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1909			companies want to own your computer.
1910
1911			Some examples:
1912
1913			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1914			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1915			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1916			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1917			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1918			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1919			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1920			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1921			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1922	root	1.432
1923	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1924			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1925			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1926			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1927			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1928
1929			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1930			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1931			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1932			from Microsoft? You can't.
1933
1934			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1935			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1936			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1937			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1938			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1939			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1940			adversely affect its business partners.
1941
1942			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1943			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1944			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1945			about your behavior.
1946
1947			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1948			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1949			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1950			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1951			presumed infractions.
1952
1953			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1954			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1955			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1956
1957			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1958			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1959			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1960			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1961			user's device against him.
1962			[...]
1963			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1964			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1965			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1966			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1967			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1968			back-room marketing deals.

2148			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2149			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2150			might be set forth as follows:
2151
2152			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2153
2154			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2155			evidence is sure to come to light.
2156
2157			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2158
2159			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2160			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2161			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2162
2163			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2164			contrary authorities to be found.
2165
2166			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you

3015
3016			1. Windows
3017
3018			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother
3019			would let you ride a motorbike. You tell your friends you're pulling
3020			in $50,000 a year and $2,000 a month "playing the stock market" but
3021			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from
3022			MSFT havn't been good in years. Your non computing friends all turn
3023			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3024			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
3025			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
3026			dates in bars but women laugh at you.
3027
3028			2. Apple
3029
3030			You think you're so cool you hurt. You have mirrors on every wall
3031			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3032			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3033			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3034			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3035			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3036			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3037			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.
3038
3039			3. Linspire
3040
3041			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have
3042			too much money. Computers baffle you, but you enjoy looking at

3053			houses and talk about the eventual overthrow of evil corporations
3054			such as Microsoft and Starbucks. Like the Linspire user, you have
3055			very little real knowlege when it comes to computers but you would

3065			matchstick house will have an "optimised floorplan". They've tried
3066			to tell you that your house violates every known building code and

3068			read those complicated regulatory documents.

3074			matchsticks, you're planing to grow the trees to make the
3075			matchsticks. You've cleared some land but don't know what to do next
3076			because you havn't read the books you've got, so you've posted to
3077			alt.arborists.newbie asking for help. It's been three days so far

3169			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3170
3171			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3172			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3173			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3174			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3175			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3176			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3177			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3178			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3179			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3180			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3181			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3182			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3183			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3184			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3185			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3186			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3187			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3188			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3189			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3190			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3191			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3192			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3193			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3194			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3195
3196			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3197			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3198			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3199			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3200			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3201
3202			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3203			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3204			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3205			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3206			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3207			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3208			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3209			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3210			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3211			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3212			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3213
3214			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3215			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3216			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3217			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3218			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3219			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3220			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3221			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3222			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3223			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3224			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3225			sovereign nation.
3226
3227			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3228			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3229			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3230			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3231			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3232			CSPAN, don't post here.

3281			linked together. Each of the agencies has the key to its own lock, and not
3282			the key to any of the others. Of course, anyone who can open one of the
3283			locks can open the gate.
3284
3285			This is a nice example of a multiple-user access-control system. It's
3286			simple, and it works. You can also make it as complicated as you want,
3287			with different locks in parallel and in series.

3293
3294			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3295
3296			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3297			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3298			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3299			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3300			explanation of this.
3301
3302			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3303
3304			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3305			which explains why the hammer falls.
3306
3307			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3308			how a population's genome can change over time.
3309
3310	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3311			mathematical relationship between two values.
3312	root	1.265
3313			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3314			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3315
3316			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3317			acceleration.
3318
3319			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3320			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3321			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3322			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3323			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3324			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3325			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3326			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3327			false.

3486	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3487			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3488
3489			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3490			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3491			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3492			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3493			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3494			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3495			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3496			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3497			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3498			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3499			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3500			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3501			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3502			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3503
3504			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3505			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3506			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3507			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3508			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3509			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3510			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

3649			This is a movie I would not recommend even to my worst enemy. It is a
3650			horrible picture, containing too much random violence and rape committed
3651			by four no-goods in white pyjamas, than is good for anyone too watch.
3652
3653			The only fun moment is when the main character, being brainwashed into a
3654			non-violent state of mind, is being bashed by his former friends.
3655
3656			There may be some "hidden message" in this movie about society and blah,
3657			but the message (not too well brought) is completely drowned.
3658
3659			It is not even a waste of your time, it is worse than that. Avoid at all
3660			cost.

4556			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4557			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4558			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4559			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4560			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4561			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4562			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4563			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4564			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4565			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4566			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4567			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4568			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4569			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4570			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4571			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4572			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4892	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4893			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4894			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4895			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4896			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4897			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4898			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4899
4900			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4901			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4902			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4903			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4904			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4905			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4906			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4907			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4908			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4909			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4910
4911			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4912			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4913			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4914			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5118			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5119			last until February 16th 2003.
5120
5121			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5122			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5123			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5124			end.
5125
5126			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5127
5128			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5129			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5130			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5131			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5132			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5133			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5134			take place on October 27th.
5135
5136			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5137			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5138			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5139			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5140			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5141			the clock)...

5325			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs

5327			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5328			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5329			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5330			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5331			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5332			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5333			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5334			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently

5628			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
5629
5630			[...]
5631			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5632			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5633			of for Windows desktop systems."
5634			[...]
5635			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5636			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5637			[...]
5638			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5639			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5640			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5641			turned on by default.
5642			[...]
5643			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5644			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5645			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5646			[...]
5647			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5648			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5649			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5650			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5651			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5652			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5653			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5654			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5655			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

7341
7342			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7343			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7344			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7348			do the right thing.
7349
7350			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7351			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7352			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7353			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7354			and they have to fix it.

8255
8256			It really doesn't bother me if people want to use grep or map in a void
8257			context. It didn't bother me before there was a for modifier, and
8258			now that there is one, it still doesn't bother me. I'm just not very
8259			easy to bother.
8260
8261			The argument against using an operator for other than its primary
8262			purpose strikes me the same as the old argument that you shouldn't have
8263			sex for other than procreational purposes. Sometimes side effects
8264			are more enjoyable than the originally intended effect.
8265
8266			That being said, I'd never grep someone in a void context myself.

8279			Since it is very difficult to find wood on Antarctica, typically
8280			penguins are used to light the fire (due to their fat, they burn well).
8281			I also woudln't use any water, the penguins are fried fine in their own

8283
8284			Note that most people in Antarctica have been seal-slayers and

8286			with killing the penguins before setting them on fire. I'm glad this

8795
8796			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8797			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8798			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8799			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8800			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8801			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8802			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8803			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8804			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8805			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8806			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8807			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8808			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8809			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8810			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8811			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8812			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8813			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8814			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8815			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8816			work.
8817			[...]
8818			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8819			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8820			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8821			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8822			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8823			search generically - then it has some potential.
8824			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8825			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8826			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
8827			intellectual value whatsoever.

8957			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
8958			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent

8965			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale

10826			Subject: Re: system() question
10827
10828			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10829			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10830			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10831			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10832			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10833			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10834			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10835			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10836			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10837			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10838			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10839			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10840			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10841			humiliating for me!)
10842
10843			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10844			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10845			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10846			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10847			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10848			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10849			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10850			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10851			really knows the answer.
10852
10853			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10854			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10855			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10856			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10857
10858			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10859			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10860			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10861			for that.
10862
10863			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10864			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10865			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10866			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10867			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10868			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10869			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10870
10871			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10872
10873			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10874			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10875			something for free.''
10876
10877			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10878
10879			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10880			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10881
10882			(Good question.)
10883
10884			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10885			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10886			once I have run it.''
10887			(Good question.)
10888
10889			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10890
10891			(Good question.)
10892
10893			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10894			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10895			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10896			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10897			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10898
10899			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10900			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10901			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10902			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10903			comp.lang.perl?
10904			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10905			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10906			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10907			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10908			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10909			in comp.lang.perl?
10910
10911			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10912			you my rate card.
10913
10914			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10915			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10916			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10917			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10918			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10919			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10920			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10921			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10922			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10923			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10924
10925			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10926			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10927			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10928			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10929			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10930			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10931			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10932			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10933			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10934			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10935			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10936			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10937			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10938			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10939			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10940			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10941
10942			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10943			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10944			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10945			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10946			someone will. Maybe I will.
10947
10948			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10949			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10950			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10951			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10952			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10953			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10954			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10955			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10956
10957			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10958			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10959			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10960			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10961			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10962			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10963			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10964			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10965			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10966			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10967			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10968			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10969			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10970			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10971
10972			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10973			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10974			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10975			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10976
10977			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10978
10979			`I want to accomplish X.
10980
10981			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10982
10983			...
10984
10985			But instead it does Y.
10986
10987			Why is that?''
10988
10989			This one is also pretty good:
10990
10991			`I want to accomplish X.
10992			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10993
10994			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10995			because of Z.
10996
10997			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10998
10999			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11000			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11001
11002
11003			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11004			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11066	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11067			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11068			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11069			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11070	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11071	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11072			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11073			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11074			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11075	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11076	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11077			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11078	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11079			nicht. ;)
11080
11081	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11082			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11083			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11084	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11085			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11086	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11087	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11088
11089	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11090			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11091	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11092	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder
11093	root	1.1	wenn etwas nicht ist, das ist.

11098			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11099	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

11164

11166			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11167
11168			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11169			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3

11171
11172			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11173			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11174			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy

11520			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11521			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11522			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11523			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11524			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11525			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original

11527			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11528			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in

11530			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11531			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
