201
202			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
203			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
204
205			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
206			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
207			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
208			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
209			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
210
211			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
212			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
213			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
214			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
215			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
216			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
217			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
218			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
219			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
220
221			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
222			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
223			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
224			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
225			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
226			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
227			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
228			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
229			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
230			maintainer.

290			I also proposed making malloc(0) perfectly fine, since zero is a perfectly

1133			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1134			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1135			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1136			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1137
1138			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1139			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1140			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1141			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1142			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1143			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1144
1145			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1146
1147			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1148			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1149			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1150			from fascism period.
1151
1152			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1153			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1154			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1155			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1156			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1157			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1158			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1159			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1160			SIAE.
1161
1162			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1163			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1164			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1165			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1166			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1167			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1173			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we

1176			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1177			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1178			western country.
1179
1180			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1181			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1182			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1183			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1184			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1185			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved

1253
1254			Hi
1255
1256			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1257			someone here can advise me.
1258
1259			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1260			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1261			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1262			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1263			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1264
1265			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1266			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1267			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1268			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1269			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

1556			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1557			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1558			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1559			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1560			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1561			es nicht.
1562
1563			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1564			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1565			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1566			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1567			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1568			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1569
1570			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1571			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1572			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1573			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1574			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1575			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1576			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1577			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1578			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1579			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1580			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1581			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1582			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1583			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1584
1585			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1586			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1587			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1588			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1589			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1590			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1591			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1592
1593			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1594			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1595			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1596			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1597			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1598			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1599			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1600			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1601			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1602			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1603			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1604			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1605			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1606			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1607			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1608			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1609			alternativ' Idioten!
1610
1611			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1612			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1613			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1614			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1615			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1616			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1617			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1618			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1619			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1620			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1621			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1622			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1623			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1624			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1625
1626			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1627			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1628			Ausgestossenen beitragen!
1629
1630			Ich will R A C H E !
1631
1632			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1633			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1634			Dinge zu sagen:
1635
1636			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1637
1638			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1639			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1640			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1641			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1642			anfange.
1643
1644			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1645			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1646			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1647			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1648			dieser verdammten schule!
1649
1650			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
1651			die Welt zu bieten hat!
1652
1653			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
1654
1655			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
1656			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1657			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1658			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1659			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1660			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1661			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1662			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1663			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1664			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1665
1666			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1667			Einschulung.
1668
1669			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1670			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1671			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1672			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1673			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1674			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1675			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1676			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1677			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
1678			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!
1679
1680			WERDET ENDLICH WACH - GEHT AUF DIE STRASSE - DAS HAT IN DEUTSCHLAND
1681			SCHONMAL FUNKTIONIERT!
1682
1683			Nach meiner Tat werden wieder irgendwelche fetten Politiker dumme
1684			Sprüche klopfen wie "Wir halten nun alle zusammen" oder "Wir
1685			müssen gemeinsam versuchen dies durchzustehen". Doch das machen
1686			sie nur um Aufmerksmakeit zu bekommen, um sich selbst als die Lösung
1687			zu präsentieren. Auf der GSS war es genauso... niemals lässt
1688			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn
1689			Theater-aufführungen sind, dann steht sie als erste mit einem breiten
1690			Grinsen auf der Bühne und präsentiert sich der Masse!
1691
1692			Nazis, HipHoper, Türken, Staat, Staatsdiener, Gläubige... einfach alle
1693			sind zum kotzen und müssen vernichtet werden! (Den begriff "Türken"
1694			benutze ich für alle HipHopMuchels und Kleingangster; Sie kommen nach
1695			Deutschland weil die Bedingungen bei ihnen zu hause zu schlecht sind,
1696			weil Krieg ist... und dann kommen Sie nach Deutschland, dem Sozialamt der
1697			Welt, und lassne hier die Sau raus. Sie sollten alle vergast werden! Keine
1698			Juden, keine Neger, keine Holländer, aber Muchels! ICH BIN KEIN SCHEISS
1699			NAZI) Ich hasse euch und eure Art! Ihr müsst alle sterben!
1700
1701			Seit meinem 6. Lebensjahr wurde ich von euch allen verarscht! Nun müsst
1702			ihr dafür bezahlen!
1703
1704			Weil ich weiss das die Fascholizei meine Videos, Schulhefte, Tagebücher,
1705			einfach alles, nicht veröffentlichen will, habe ich das selbst in die
1706			Hand genommen.
1707
1708			Als letztes möchte ich den Menschen die mir was bedeuten, oder die jemals
1709			gut zu mir waren, danken, und mich für all dies Entschuldigen!

1966			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1967			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1968			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1969			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1970			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1971			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1972			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1973			companies want to own your computer.
1974
1975			Some examples:
1976
1977			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1978			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1979			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1980			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1981			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1982			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1983			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1984			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1985			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1986	root	1.432
1987	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1988			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1989			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1990			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1991			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1992
1993			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1994			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1995			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1996			from Microsoft? You can't.
1997
1998			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1999			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2000			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2001			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2002			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2003			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2004			adversely affect its business partners.
2005
2006			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2007			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2008			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2009			about your behavior.
2010
2011			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2012			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2013			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2014			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2015			presumed infractions.
2016
2017			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2018			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2019			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2020
2021			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2022			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2023			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2024			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2025			user's device against him.
2026			[...]
2027			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2028			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2029			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2030			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2031			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2032			back-room marketing deals.

2209			By Bertrand Russell
2210
2211			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2212			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2213			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2214			might be set forth as follows:
2215
2216			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2217
2218			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2219			evidence is sure to come to light.
2220
2221			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2222
2223			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2224			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2225			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2226
2227			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2228			contrary authorities to be found.
2229
2230			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2231			do the opinions will suppress you.
2232
2233			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2234			was once eccentric.
2235
2236			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2237			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2238			agreement than the latter.
2239
2240			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2241			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2242
2243			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2244			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
2245
2246			"A Liberal Decalogue" is from The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell,
2247			Vol. 3: 1944-1969, pp. 71-2.

3087			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3088			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
3089			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
3090			dates in bars but women laugh at you.

3095			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3096			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3097			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3098			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3099			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3100			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3101			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.
3102

3104
3105			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have
3106			too much money. Computers baffle you, but you enjoy looking at

3117			houses and talk about the eventual overthrow of evil corporations
3118			such as Microsoft and Starbucks. Like the Linspire user, you have

3139			matchsticks. You've cleared some land but don't know what to do next
3140			because you havn't read the books you've got, so you've posted to

3233			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3234
3235			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3236			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3237			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3238			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3239			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3240			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3241			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3242			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3243			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3244			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3245			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3246			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3247			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3248			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3249			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3250			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3251			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3252			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3253			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3254			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3255			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3256			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3257			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3258			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3259
3260			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3261			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3262			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3263			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3264			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3265
3266			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3267			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3268			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3269			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3270			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3271			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3272			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3273			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3274			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3275			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3276			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3277
3278			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3279			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3280			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3281			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3282			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever

3357
3358			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3359
3360			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3361			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3362			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3363			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3364			explanation of this.
3365
3366			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3367
3368			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3369			which explains why the hammer falls.
3370
3371			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3372			how a population's genome can change over time.
3373
3374	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3375			mathematical relationship between two values.

3377			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the

3379
3380			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3381			acceleration.
3382
3383			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3384			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3385			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3386			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3387			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3388			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3389			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3390			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3391			false.

3551			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3552
3553			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3554			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3555			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3556			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3557			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3558			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3559			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3560			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3561			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3562			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3563			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3564			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3565			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3566			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3567
3568			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3569			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3570			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3571			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3572			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3573			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3574			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4620			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4621			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4622			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4623			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4624			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4625			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4626			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4627			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4628			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4629			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4630			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4631			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4632			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4633			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4634			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4635			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4636			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4956	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4957			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4958			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4959			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4960			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4961			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4962			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4963
4964			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4965			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4966			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4967			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4968			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4969			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4970			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4971			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4972			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4973			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4974
4975			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4976			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4977			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4978			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5183			last until February 16th 2003.
5184
5185			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5186			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5187			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5188			end.
5189
5190			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5191
5192			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5193			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5194			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5195			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5196			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5197			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5198			take place on October 27th.
5199
5200			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5201			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5202			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5203			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5204			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5205			the clock)...

5389			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs

5392			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5393			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5394			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5395			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5396			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5397			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5398			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently

5693
5694			[...]
5695			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5696			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5697			of for Windows desktop systems."
5698			[...]
5699			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5700			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5701			[...]
5702			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5703			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5704			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5705			turned on by default.
5706			[...]
5707			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5708			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5709			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5710			[...]
5711			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5712			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5713			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5714			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5715			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5716			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5717			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5718			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5719			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

5914			Windows XP is dramatically more secure than Windows 2000 or any of the
5915			prior systems. Buffer overflow has been one of the attacks frequently used
5916			on the Internet. We have gone through all code and, in an automated way,
5917			found places where there could be buffer overflow, and those have been
5918			removed in Windows XP.
5919
5920			We have also turned off by default a whole set of things so that users are
5921			configured in a minimalist kind of way, making them less vulnerable. We

5926			The result is that users can't make intelligent decisions on
5927			security. Here's one example: A few months ago, security researcher Niels
5928			Ferguson found a security flaw in Intel's HDCP Digital Video Encryption
5929			System, but withheld publication out of fear of being prosecuted under the
5930			DMCA. Intel's reaction was reminiscent of the pre-full-disclosure days:
5931			they dismissed the break as "theoretical" and maintained that the system
5932			was still secure. Imagine you're thinking about buying Intel's
5933			system. What do you do? You have no real information, so you have to
5934			trust either Ferguson or Intel.

5936			Here's another: A few weeks ago, a release of the Linux kernel came
5937			without the customary detailed information about the OS's security. The

8859
8860			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8861			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8862			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8863			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8864			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8865			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8866			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8867			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8868			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8869			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8870			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8871			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8872			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8873			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8874			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8875			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8876			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8877			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8878			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8879			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8880			work.
8881			[...]
8882			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8883			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8884			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8885			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8886			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8887			search generically - then it has some potential.
8888			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8889			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8890			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no

9543			This one is hardly persuasive. Many languages do innumerable things
9544			that Perl does not do. Just for example, take:
9545
9546			* Csh reparses and re-evals interpolated strings, allowing something
9547			like C<$cmd $var> to do interesting things.
9548			* The Fortran lexer (as it were), having no need of white space to
9549			infer tokens, allows C<DO I=1.10> and C<DO I=1,10> to coexist in an
9550			interesting way.
9551			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
9552			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
9553			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do
9554			interesting things.
9555			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that
9556			language, allowing parameterized meta-classes to do interesting
9557			things.

10011			Mary Green's car was smoking. She got worried. "Whatever should I do?"
10012			worried Mary... Well, as she drove along she noticed a florists shop. "Aha!
10013			Thought Mary, "Flour shops are full of thoughtless men who need to apologize to
10014			their wives. These men are the sometimes the same ones I see swearing under
10015			the hoods of their cars in the shade of a tree."
10016
10017			"Brrring" said the bell of the door to the flower shop as Mary poked her head
10018			through the door.
10019			"HELP!!! MY CAR IS SMOKING!" Screamed Mary.
10020			"There is a garage right next door." Said the shopkeeper.
10021			"That's right," Said Melvin, "And there is a parts store across the street. If
10022			you ask for Fred, he's pretty savvy about that kind of stuff."
10023			Now Joe was also in the flower store. This was his first time in trouble, so
10024			he did not hear the 30 or 40 people per day who came in screaming about their
10025			cars smoking (mostly men, of course -- the ones under the shade trees,
10026			usually.)
10027
10028			"Why don't you help the stinking lady!!" Screamed Joe. "It might be your
10029			muffler bearings..." he continued. Or maybe it's your deisel glow plugs or
10030			your tire pressure..."
10031			Now Tim, also new to the flower shop felt the courage to chime in, "Or it could
10032			even be your cooling system. Sometimes a hose gets a crack."
10033			"My car smoked once and it was an oil leak, where the head gasket was spraying
10034			oil in the manifold." Hollered Larry
10035			"Hey lady, why don't you get your car the patch if it's smoking" chortled Glen.
10036			Well, the hollering went on into the evening, and the lady finally went to the

10889			Date: 09 Nov 1995 02:57:30 GMT
10890			Subject: Re: system() question
10891
10892			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10893			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10894			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10895			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10896			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10897			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10898			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10899			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10900			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10901			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10902			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10903			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10904			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10905			humiliating for me!)
10906
10907			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10908			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10909			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10910			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10911			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10912			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10913			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10914			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10915			really knows the answer.
10916
10917			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10918			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10919			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10920			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10921
10922			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10923			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10924			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10925			for that.
10926
10927			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10928			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10929			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10930			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10931			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10932			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10933			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10934
10935			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10936
10937			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10938			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10939			something for free.''
10940
10941			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10942
10943			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10944			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10945
10946			(Good question.)
10947
10948			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10949			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10950			once I have run it.''
10951			(Good question.)
10952
10953			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10954
10955			(Good question.)
10956
10957			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10958			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10959			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10960			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10961			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10962
10963			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10964			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10965			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10966			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10967			comp.lang.perl?
10968			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10969			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10970			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10971			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10972			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10973			in comp.lang.perl?
10974
10975			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10976			you my rate card.
10977
10978			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10979			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10980			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10981			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10982			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10983			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10984			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10985			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10986			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10987			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10988
10989			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10990			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10991			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10992			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10993			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10994			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10995			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10996			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10997			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10998			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10999			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11000			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11001			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11002			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11003			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11004			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11005
11006			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11007			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11008			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11009			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11010			someone will. Maybe I will.
11011
11012			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11013			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11014			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11015			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11016			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11017			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11018			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11019			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11020
11021			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11022			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11023			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11024			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11025			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11026			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11027			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11028			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11029			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11030			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11031			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11032			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11033			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11034			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11035
11036			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11037			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11038			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11039			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11040
11041			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11042
11043			`I want to accomplish X.
11044
11045			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11046
11047			...
11048
11049			But instead it does Y.
11050
11051			Why is that?''
11052
11053			This one is also pretty good:
11054
11055			`I want to accomplish X.
11056			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11057
11058			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11059			because of Z.
11060
11061			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11062
11063			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11064			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11065
11066
11067			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11068			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11130	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11131			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11132			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11133			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11134	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11135	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11136			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11137			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11138			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11139	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11140	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11141			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11142	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11143			nicht. ;)
11144
11145	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11146			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11147			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11148	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11149			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11150	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11151	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11152
11153	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11154			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11155	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom

11162			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher

11216			The Unix shell as a 4GL
11217
11218			Unix provides hundreds of programs that can be piped together to easily
11219			perform almost any function imaginable. Nothing comes close to providing the
11220			functions that come standard with Unix. Programs and philosophies carried
11221			over from other systems put walls between the user and Unix, and the power
11222			of Unix is thrown away. The shell, extended with a few relational operators,
11223			is the fourth generation database scripting language most appropriate to the
11224			Unix environment.

11226	root	1.1	Perl is incredibly difficult to parse. For example, what's the difference
11227			between these:
11228
11229			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11230			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11231
11232			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11233			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11234			;#", and the print gets executed!
11235
11236			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11237			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11238			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11239			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11240
11241			Which led Larry to say at one point: "the only thing that can parse Perl is
11242			'perl'".

11589			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11590			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11591			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11592			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11593			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11594			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11595			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11596			scale than would initially seem to be the case.

11623			It has no decent support for string processing, allowing you to spend
