47			when he’d been a kid, there had been a performance artist making
48			the rounds—Jila Sorormaya, her name was. As he recalled, she’d
49			intentionally corrupted data-storage devices and then put the data stream
50			through her music kit. She’d gotten into trouble when some of the
51			proprietary code of the storage device software got incorporated into her
52			music and posted. Miller hadn’t been a sophisticate. He’d figured

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

1074			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1075			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1076			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1077			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1078
1079			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1080			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1081			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1082			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1083			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1084			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1085
1086			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1087
1088			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1089			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1090			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1091			from fascism period.
1092
1093			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1094			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1095			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1096			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1097			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1098			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1099			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1100			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1101			SIAE.
1102
1103			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1104			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1105			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1106			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1107			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1108			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1113
1114			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1115			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1116			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1117			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1118			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1119			western country.
1120
1121			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1122			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1123			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1124			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1125			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1126			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1127			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1128			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
1129			also the governments of "center-left".

1193			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1194
1195			Hi
1196
1197			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1198			someone here can advise me.
1199
1200			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1201			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1202			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1203			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1204			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1205
1206			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1207			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1208			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1209			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1210			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1211			corresponding thing in C?

1497			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1498			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1499			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1500			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1501			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1502			es nicht.
1503
1504			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1505			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1506			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1507			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1508			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1509			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1510
1511			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1512			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1513			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1514			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1515			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1516			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1517			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1518			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1519			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1520			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1521			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1522			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1523			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1524			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1525
1526			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1527			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1528			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1529			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1530			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1531			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1532			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1533
1534			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1535			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1536			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1537			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1538			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1539			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1540			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1541			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1542			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1543			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1544			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1545			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1546			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1547			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1548			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1549			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1550			alternativ' Idioten!
1551
1552			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1553			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1554			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1555			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1556			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1557			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1558			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1559			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1560			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1561			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1562			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1563			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1564			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1565			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1566
1567			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1568			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1569			Ausgestossenen beitragen!
1570
1571			Ich will R A C H E !
1572
1573			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1574			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1575			Dinge zu sagen:
1576
1577			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1578
1579			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1580			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1581			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1582			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1583			anfange.
1584
1585			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1586			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1587			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1588			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1589			dieser verdammten schule!

1592			die Welt zu bieten hat!

1597			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1598			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1599			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1600			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1601			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1602			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1603			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1604			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1605			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1606
1607			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1608			Einschulung.
1609
1610			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1611			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1612			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1613			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1614			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1615			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1616			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1617			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1618			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier

1907			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1908			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1909			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1910			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1911			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1912			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1913			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1914			companies want to own your computer.
1915
1916			Some examples:
1917
1918			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1919			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1920			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1921			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1922			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1923			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1924			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1925			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1926			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1927	root	1.432
1928	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1929			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1930			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1931			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1932			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1933
1934			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1935			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1936			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1937			from Microsoft? You can't.
1938
1939			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1940			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1941			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1942			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1943			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1944			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1945			adversely affect its business partners.
1946
1947			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1948			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1949			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1950			about your behavior.
1951
1952			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1953			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1954			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1955			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1956			presumed infractions.
1957
1958			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1959			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1960			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1961
1962			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1963			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1964			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1965			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1966			user's device against him.
1967			[...]
1968			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1969			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1970			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1971			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1972			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1973			back-room marketing deals.

3020
3021			1. Windows
3022
3023			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother
3024			would let you ride a motorbike. You tell your friends you're pulling
3025			in $50,000 a year and $2,000 a month "playing the stock market" but
3026			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from
3027			MSFT havn't been good in years. Your non computing friends all turn
3028			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3029			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
3030			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
3031			dates in bars but women laugh at you.
3032
3033			2. Apple

3035			You think you're so cool you hurt. You have mirrors on every wall
3036			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3037			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3038			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3039			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3040			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3041			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3042			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.
3043
3044			3. Linspire
3045
3046			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have
3047			too much money. Computers baffle you, but you enjoy looking at

3057			knew it was for you. You meet with your friends in fair-trade coffee
3058			houses and talk about the eventual overthrow of evil corporations
3059			such as Microsoft and Starbucks. Like the Linspire user, you have
3060			very little real knowlege when it comes to computers but you would
3061			never use your computer to look at pictures of women degrading
3062			themselves.

3069			from matchsticks. You've explained to all your friends that your
3070			matchstick house will have an "optimised floorplan". They've tried
3071			to tell you that your house violates every known building code and
3072			law in your area, but you've ignored them so far because you can't
3073			read those complicated regulatory documents.

3080			matchsticks. You've cleared some land but don't know what to do next
3081			because you havn't read the books you've got, so you've posted to
3082			alt.arborists.newbie asking for help. It's been three days so far

3174			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3175
3176			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3177			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3178			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3179			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3180			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3181			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3182			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3183			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3184			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3185			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3186			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3187			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3188			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3189			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3190			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3191			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3192			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3193			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3194			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3195			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3196			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3197			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3198			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3199			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3200
3201			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3202			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3203			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3204			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3205			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3206
3207			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3208			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3209			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3210			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3211			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3212			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3213			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3214			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3215			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3216			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3217			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3218
3219			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3220			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3221			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3222			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3223			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3224			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3225			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3226			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3227			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3228			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3229			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3230			sovereign nation.
3231
3232			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3233			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3234			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3235			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3236			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3237			CSPAN, don't post here.

3284			gate. Because several different agencies need access to the sign for
3285			various purposes, the chain locking the gate is formed by several locks
3286			linked together. Each of the agencies has the key to its own lock, and not
3287			the key to any of the others. Of course, anyone who can open one of the
3288			locks can open the gate.
3289
3290			This is a nice example of a multiple-user access-control system. It's
3291			simple, and it works. You can also make it as complicated as you want,
3292			with different locks in parallel and in series.

3298
3299			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3300
3301			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3302			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3303			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3304			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3305			explanation of this.
3306
3307			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3308
3309			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3310			which explains why the hammer falls.
3311
3312			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3313			how a population's genome can change over time.
3314
3315	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3316			mathematical relationship between two values.
3317	root	1.265
3318			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3319			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3320
3321			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3322			acceleration.
3323
3324			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3325			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3326			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3327			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3328			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3329			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3330			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3331			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3332			false.

3491	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3492			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3493
3494			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3495			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3496			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3497			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3498			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3499			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3500			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3501			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3502			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3503			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3504			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3505			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3506			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3507			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3508
3509			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3510			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3511			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3512			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3513			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3514			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3515			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4561			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4562			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4563			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4564			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4565			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4566			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4567			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4568			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4569			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4570			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4571			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4572			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4573			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4574			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4575			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4576			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4577			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4897	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4898			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4899			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4900			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4901			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4902			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4903			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4904
4905			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4906			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4907			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4908			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4909			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4910			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4911			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4912			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4913			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4914			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4915
4916			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4917			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4918			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4919			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5122	root	1.82	Yesterday, the local Brazilian authorities signed a decree stating that the
5123			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5124			last until February 16th 2003.
5125
5126			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5127			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5128			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5129			end.
5130
5131			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5132
5133			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5134			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5135			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5136			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5137			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5138			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5139			take place on October 27th.
5140
5141			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5142			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5143			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5144			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5145			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5146			the clock)...

5330			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs

5333			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5334			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5335			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5336			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5337			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5338			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5339			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently

5633			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
5634
5635			[...]
5636			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5637			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5638			of for Windows desktop systems."
5639			[...]
5640			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5641			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5642			[...]
5643			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5644			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5645			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5646			turned on by default.
5647			[...]
5648			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5649			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5650			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5651			[...]
5652			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5653			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5654			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5655			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5656			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5657			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5658			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5659			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5660			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

7346
7347			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7348			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7349			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7353			do the right thing.
7354
7355			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7356			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7357			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7358			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7359			and they have to fix it.

8260
8261			It really doesn't bother me if people want to use grep or map in a void
8262			context. It didn't bother me before there was a for modifier, and
8263			now that there is one, it still doesn't bother me. I'm just not very
8264			easy to bother.
8265
8266			The argument against using an operator for other than its primary
8267			purpose strikes me the same as the old argument that you shouldn't have
8268			sex for other than procreational purposes. Sometimes side effects
8269			are more enjoyable than the originally intended effect.
8270
8271			That being said, I'd never grep someone in a void context myself.

8284			Since it is very difficult to find wood on Antarctica, typically
8285			penguins are used to light the fire (due to their fat, they burn well).
8286			I also woudln't use any water, the penguins are fried fine in their own

8288

8291			with killing the penguins before setting them on fire. I'm glad this

8800
8801			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8802			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8803			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8804			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8805			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8806			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8807			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8808			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8809			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8810			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8811			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8812			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8813			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8814			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8815			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8816			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8817			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8818			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8819			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8820			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8821			work.
8822			[...]
8823			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8824			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8825			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8826			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8827			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8828			search generically - then it has some potential.
8829			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8830			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8831			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
8832			intellectual value whatsoever.

8955			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating

8962			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
8963			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent

8970			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale

10831			Subject: Re: system() question
10832
10833			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10834			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10835			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10836			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10837			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10838			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10839			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10840			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10841			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10842			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10843			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10844			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10845			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10846			humiliating for me!)
10847
10848			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10849			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10850			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10851			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10852			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10853			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10854			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10855			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10856			really knows the answer.
10857
10858			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10859			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10860			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10861			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10862
10863			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10864			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10865			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10866			for that.
10867
10868			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10869			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10870			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10871			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10872			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10873			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10874			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10875
10876			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10877
10878			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10879			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10880			something for free.''
10881
10882			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10883
10884			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10885			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10886
10887			(Good question.)
10888
10889			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10890			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10891			once I have run it.''
10892			(Good question.)
10893
10894			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10895
10896			(Good question.)
10897
10898			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10899			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10900			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10901			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10902			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10903
10904			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10905			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10906			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10907			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10908			comp.lang.perl?
10909			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10910			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10911			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10912			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10913			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10914			in comp.lang.perl?
10915
10916			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10917			you my rate card.
10918
10919			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10920			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10921			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10922			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10923			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10924			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10925			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10926			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10927			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10928			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10929
10930			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10931			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10932			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10933			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10934			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10935			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10936			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10937			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10938			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10939			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10940			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10941			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10942			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10943			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10944			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10945			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10946
10947			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10948			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10949			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10950			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10951			someone will. Maybe I will.
10952
10953			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10954			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10955			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10956			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10957			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10958			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10959			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10960			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10961
10962			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10963			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10964			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10965			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10966			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10967			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10968			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10969			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10970			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10971			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10972			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10973			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10974			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10975			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10976
10977			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10978			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10979			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10980			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10981
10982			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10983
10984			`I want to accomplish X.
10985
10986			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10987
10988			...
10989
10990			But instead it does Y.
10991
10992			Why is that?''
10993
10994			This one is also pretty good:
10995
10996			`I want to accomplish X.
10997			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10998
10999			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11000			because of Z.
11001
11002			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11003
11004			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11005			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11006
11007
11008			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11009			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11071	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11072			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11073			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11074			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11075	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11076	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11077			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11078			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11079			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11080	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11081	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11082			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11083	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11084			nicht. ;)
11085
11086	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11087			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11088			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11089	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11090			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11091	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11092	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11093
11094	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11095			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11096	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11097	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder
11098	root	1.1	wenn etwas nicht ist, das ist.

11103			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11104	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

11168			between these:
11169
11170			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11171			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11172
11173			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11174			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3

11176
11177			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11178			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11179			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11180			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

11525			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11526			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11527			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11528			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11529			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11530			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original

11532			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11533			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11534			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11535			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11536			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
