177
178			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
179			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
180
181			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
182			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
183			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
184			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
185			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
186
187			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
188			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
189			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
190			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
191			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
192			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
193			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
194			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
195			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
196
197			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
198			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
199			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
200			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
201			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
202			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
203			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
204			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
205			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
206			maintainer.

666			B: Using x, y, and z, my result doesn't agree with yours at all. Are you

1109			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1110			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1111			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1112			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1113
1114			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1115			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1116			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1117			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1118			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1119			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1120
1121			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1122
1123			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1124			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1125			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1126			from fascism period.
1127
1128			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1129			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1130			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1131			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1132			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1133			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1134			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1135			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1136			SIAE.
1137
1138			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1139			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1140			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1141			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1142			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1143			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1149			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1150			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1151			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1152			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1153			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1154			western country.
1155
1156			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1157			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1158			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1159			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1160			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1161			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1162			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1163			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,

1228			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1229
1230			Hi
1231
1232			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1233			someone here can advise me.
1234
1235			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1236			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1237			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1238			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1239			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1240
1241			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1242			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1243			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1244			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1245			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1246			corresponding thing in C?

1532			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1533			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1534			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1535			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1536			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1537			es nicht.
1538
1539			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1540			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1541			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1542			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1543			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1544			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1545
1546			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1547			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1548			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1549			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1550			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1551			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1552			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1553			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1554			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1555			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1556			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1557			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1558			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1559			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1560
1561			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1562			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1563			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1564			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1565			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1566			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1567			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1568
1569			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1570			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1571			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1572			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1573			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1574			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1575			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1576			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1577			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1578			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1579			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1580			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1581			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1582			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1583			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1584			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1585			alternativ' Idioten!
1586
1587			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1588			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1589			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1590			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1591			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1592			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1593			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1594			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1595			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1596			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1597			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1598			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1599			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1600			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1601
1602			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1603			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1604			Ausgestossenen beitragen!
1605
1606			Ich will R A C H E !
1607
1608			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1609			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1610			Dinge zu sagen:
1611
1612			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1613
1614			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1615			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1616			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1617			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1618			anfange.
1619
1620			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1621			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1622			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1623			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1624			dieser verdammten schule!
1625
1626			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
1627			die Welt zu bieten hat!
1628
1629			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
1630
1631			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
1632			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1633			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1634			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1635			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1636			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1637			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1638			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1639			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1640			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1641
1642			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1643			Einschulung.
1644
1645			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1646			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1647			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1648			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1649			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1650			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1651			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1652			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1653			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
1654			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!
1655
1656			WERDET ENDLICH WACH - GEHT AUF DIE STRASSE - DAS HAT IN DEUTSCHLAND
1657			SCHONMAL FUNKTIONIERT!
1658
1659			Nach meiner Tat werden wieder irgendwelche fetten Politiker dumme
1660			Sprüche klopfen wie "Wir halten nun alle zusammen" oder "Wir
1661			müssen gemeinsam versuchen dies durchzustehen". Doch das machen
1662			sie nur um Aufmerksmakeit zu bekommen, um sich selbst als die Lösung
1663			zu präsentieren. Auf der GSS war es genauso... niemals lässt
1664			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn
1665			Theater-aufführungen sind, dann steht sie als erste mit einem breiten
1666			Grinsen auf der Bühne und präsentiert sich der Masse!
1667
1668			Nazis, HipHoper, Türken, Staat, Staatsdiener, Gläubige... einfach alle
1669			sind zum kotzen und müssen vernichtet werden! (Den begriff "Türken"
1670			benutze ich für alle HipHopMuchels und Kleingangster; Sie kommen nach
1671			Deutschland weil die Bedingungen bei ihnen zu hause zu schlecht sind,
1672			weil Krieg ist... und dann kommen Sie nach Deutschland, dem Sozialamt der
1673			Welt, und lassne hier die Sau raus. Sie sollten alle vergast werden! Keine
1674			Juden, keine Neger, keine Holländer, aber Muchels! ICH BIN KEIN SCHEISS
1675			NAZI) Ich hasse euch und eure Art! Ihr müsst alle sterben!
1676
1677			Seit meinem 6. Lebensjahr wurde ich von euch allen verarscht! Nun müsst
1678			ihr dafür bezahlen!
1679
1680			Weil ich weiss das die Fascholizei meine Videos, Schulhefte, Tagebücher,
1681			einfach alles, nicht veröffentlichen will, habe ich das selbst in die
1682			Hand genommen.
1683
1684			Als letztes möchte ich den Menschen die mir was bedeuten, oder die jemals
1685			gut zu mir waren, danken, und mich für all dies Entschuldigen!

1785			The first "extinctionist" ascension on r.g.r.n. (at least from what I can
1786			tell) seems to have been by Matthew Bourland in 2000, who although he
1787			didn't actually kill everything, certainly genocided all (at the time) 256
1788			monster types that were genocidable. Then, after that he extincted all
1789			other randomly generated monsters. On the other hand, having 120 kills
1790			in every category is perhaps more noteworthy (or foolhardy?) than simply
1791			genociding every monster.

1942			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1943			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1944			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1945			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1946			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1947			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1948			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1949			companies want to own your computer.
1950
1951			Some examples:
1952
1953			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1954			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1955			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1956			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1957			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1958			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1959			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1960			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1961			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1962	root	1.432
1963	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1964			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1965			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1966			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1967			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1968
1969			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1970			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1971			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1972			from Microsoft? You can't.
1973
1974			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1975			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1976			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1977			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1978			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1979			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1980			adversely affect its business partners.
1981
1982			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1983			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1984			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1985			about your behavior.
1986
1987			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1988			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1989			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1990			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1991			presumed infractions.
1992
1993			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1994			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1995			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1996
1997			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1998			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1999			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2000			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2001			user's device against him.
2002			[...]
2003			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2004			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2005			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2006			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2007			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2008			back-room marketing deals.

2185			By Bertrand Russell
2186
2187			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2188			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2189			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2190			might be set forth as follows:
2191
2192			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2193
2194			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2195			evidence is sure to come to light.
2196
2197			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2198
2199			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2200			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2201			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2202
2203			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2204			contrary authorities to be found.
2205
2206			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2207			do the opinions will suppress you.
2208
2209			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2210			was once eccentric.
2211
2212			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2213			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2214			agreement than the latter.
2215
2216			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2217			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2218
2219			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2220			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
2221
2222			"A Liberal Decalogue" is from The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell,
2223			Vol. 3: 1944-1969, pp. 71-2.

3072			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3073			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3074			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3075			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3076			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3077			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.

3209			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3210
3211			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3212			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3213			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3214			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3215			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3216			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3217			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3218			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3219			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3220			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3221			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3222			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3223			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3224			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3225			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3226			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3227			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3228			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3229			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3230			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3231			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3232			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3233			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3234			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3235
3236			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3237			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3238			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3239			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3240			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3241
3242			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3243			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3244			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3245			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3246			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3247			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3248			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3249			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3250			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3251			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3252			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3253
3254			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3255			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3256			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3257			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3258			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3259			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3260			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3261			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3262			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3263			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3264			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3265			sovereign nation.
3266
3267			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3268			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3269			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3270			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3271			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3272			CSPAN, don't post here.

3333
3334			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3335
3336			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3337			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3338			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3339			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3340			explanation of this.
3341
3342			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3343
3344			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3345			which explains why the hammer falls.
3346
3347			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3348			how a population's genome can change over time.
3349
3350	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3351			mathematical relationship between two values.

3353			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the

3355
3356			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3357			acceleration.
3358
3359			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3360			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3361			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3362			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3363			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3364			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3365			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3366			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3367			false.

3527			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3528
3529			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3530			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3531			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3532			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3533			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3534			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3535			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3536			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3537			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3538			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3539			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3540			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3541			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3542			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3543
3544			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3545			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3546			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3547			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3548			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3549			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3550			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4596			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4597			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4598			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4599			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4600			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4601			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4602			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4603			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4604			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4605			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4606			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4607			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4608			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4609			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4610			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4611			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4612			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4932	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4933			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4934			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4935			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4936			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4937			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4938			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4939
4940			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4941			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4942			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4943			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4944			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4945			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4946			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4947			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4948			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4949			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4950
4951			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4952			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4953			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4954			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5157	root	1.82	Yesterday, the local Brazilian authorities signed a decree stating that the
5158			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5159			last until February 16th 2003.
5160
5161			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5162			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5163			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5164			end.
5165
5166			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5167
5168			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5169			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5170			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5171			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5172			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5173			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5174			take place on October 27th.
5175
5176			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5177			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5178			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5179			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5180			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5181			the clock)...

5365			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs

5368			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5369			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5370			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5371			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5372			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5373			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5374			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently

5668			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
5669
5670			[...]
5671			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5672			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5673			of for Windows desktop systems."
5674			[...]
5675			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5676			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5677			[...]
5678			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5679			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5680			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5681			turned on by default.
5682			[...]
5683			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5684			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5685			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5686			[...]
5687			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5688			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5689			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5690			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5691			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5692			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5693			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5694			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5695			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

5905			System, but withheld publication out of fear of being prosecuted under the
5906			DMCA. Intel's reaction was reminiscent of the pre-full-disclosure days:
5907			they dismissed the break as "theoretical" and maintained that the system
5908			was still secure. Imagine you're thinking about buying Intel's
5909			system. What do you do? You have no real information, so you have to
5910			trust either Ferguson or Intel.
5911
5912			Here's another: A few weeks ago, a release of the Linux kernel came
5913			without the customary detailed information about the OS's security. The
5914			developers cited fear of the DMCA as a reason why those details were
5915			withheld. Imagine you're evaluating operating systems: Do you feel more or
5916			less confident about the security the Linux kernel version 2.2, now that
5917			you have no details?

7381
7382			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7383			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7384			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7389
7390			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7391			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7392			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7393			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication

8835
8836			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8837			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8838			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8839			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8840			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8841			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8842			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8843			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8844			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8845			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8846			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8847			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8848			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8849			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8850			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8851			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8852			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8853			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8854			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8855			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8856			work.
8857			[...]
8858			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8859			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8860			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8861			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8862			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8863			search generically - then it has some potential.
8864			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8865			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8866			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
8867			intellectual value whatsoever.

9519			This one is hardly persuasive. Many languages do innumerable things

9526			interesting way.
9527			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
9528			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
9529			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do
9530			interesting things.
9531			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that

9987			Mary Green's car was smoking. She got worried. "Whatever should I do?"
9988			worried Mary... Well, as she drove along she noticed a florists shop. "Aha!
9989			Thought Mary, "Flour shops are full of thoughtless men who need to apologize to
9990			their wives. These men are the sometimes the same ones I see swearing under
9991			the hoods of their cars in the shade of a tree."
9992
9993			"Brrring" said the bell of the door to the flower shop as Mary poked her head
9994			through the door.
9995			"HELP!!! MY CAR IS SMOKING!" Screamed Mary.
9996			"There is a garage right next door." Said the shopkeeper.
9997			"That's right," Said Melvin, "And there is a parts store across the street. If
9998			you ask for Fred, he's pretty savvy about that kind of stuff."
9999			Now Joe was also in the flower store. This was his first time in trouble, so
10000			he did not hear the 30 or 40 people per day who came in screaming about their
10001			cars smoking (mostly men, of course -- the ones under the shade trees,
10002			usually.)
10003
10004			"Why don't you help the stinking lady!!" Screamed Joe. "It might be your
10005			muffler bearings..." he continued. Or maybe it's your deisel glow plugs or
10006			your tire pressure..."
10007			Now Tim, also new to the flower shop felt the courage to chime in, "Or it could
10008			even be your cooling system. Sometimes a hose gets a crack."
10009			"My car smoked once and it was an oil leak, where the head gasket was spraying
10010			oil in the manifold." Hollered Larry
10011			"Hey lady, why don't you get your car the patch if it's smoking" chortled Glen.
10012			Well, the hollering went on into the evening, and the lady finally went to the
10013			gas station and found that the heater core had a tiny split and was repaired in
10014			three days for a cost of $175.23.

10865			Date: 09 Nov 1995 02:57:30 GMT
10866			Subject: Re: system() question
10867
10868			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10869			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10870			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10871			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10872			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10873			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10874			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10875			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10876			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10877			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10878			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10879			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10880			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10881			humiliating for me!)
10882
10883			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10884			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10885			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10886			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10887			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10888			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10889			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10890			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10891			really knows the answer.
10892
10893			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10894			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10895			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10896			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10897
10898			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10899			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10900			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10901			for that.
10902
10903			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10904			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10905			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10906			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10907			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10908			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10909			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10910
10911			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10912
10913			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10914			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10915			something for free.''
10916
10917			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10918
10919			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10920			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10921
10922			(Good question.)
10923
10924			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10925			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10926			once I have run it.''
10927			(Good question.)
10928
10929			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10930
10931			(Good question.)
10932
10933			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10934			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10935			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10936			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10937			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10938
10939			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10940			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10941			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10942			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10943			comp.lang.perl?
10944			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10945			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10946			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10947			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10948			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10949			in comp.lang.perl?
10950
10951			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10952			you my rate card.
10953
10954			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10955			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10956			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10957			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10958			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10959			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10960			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10961			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10962			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10963			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10964
10965			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10966			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10967			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10968			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10969			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10970			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10971			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10972			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10973			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10974			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10975			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10976			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10977			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10978			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10979			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10980			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10981
10982			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10983			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10984			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10985			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10986			someone will. Maybe I will.
10987
10988			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10989			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10990			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10991			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10992			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10993			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10994			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10995			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10996
10997			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10998			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10999			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11000			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11001			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11002			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11003			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11004			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11005			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11006			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11007			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11008			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11009			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11010			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11011
11012			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11013			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11014			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11015			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11016
11017			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11018
11019			`I want to accomplish X.
11020
11021			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11022
11023			...
11024
11025			But instead it does Y.
11026
11027			Why is that?''
11028
11029			This one is also pretty good:
11030
11031			`I want to accomplish X.
11032			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11033
11034			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11035			because of Z.
11036
11037			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11038
11039			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11040			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11041
11042
11043			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11044			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11106	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11107			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11108			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11109			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11110	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11111	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11112			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11113			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11114			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11115	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11116	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11117			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11118	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11119			nicht. ;)
11120
11121	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11122			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11123			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11124	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11125			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11126	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11127	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11128
11129	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11130			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11131	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11132	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder

11138			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11139	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

11208			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11209			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11210			;#", and the print gets executed!
11211
11212			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11213			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11214			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11215			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11216
11217			Which led Larry to say at one point: "the only thing that can parse Perl is
11218			'perl'".

11560			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11561			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11562			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11563			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11564			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with

11598			programmers, so keeps all but the most intrepid programmers away from it.
11599			It has no decent support for string processing, allowing you to spend
11600			hours at useless debugging. It has a very restrictive and static system
11601			to make sure you don't try anything interesting. It makes sure that you
11602			use objects, by golly, because James Gosling said so. It's easy for C++
11603			programmers to use, and hard for shell or BASIC programmers to use. It
11604			also only runs on a few systems, locking its customers into a a closed
11605			system and restricting their options.
