2			to do better than the political correctness movement that stops at the
3			surface. So, let’s call it master-slave, and instead make a call for US,
4			where a sizable black population is very poor, to have free healthcare,
5			to have cops that are less biased against non-white people, to stop death
6			penalty. This makes really a difference.

219
220			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
221			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
222
223			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
224			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
225			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
226			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
227			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
228
229			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
230			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
231			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
232			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
233			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
234			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
235			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
236			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
237			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
238
239			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
240			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
241			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
242			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
243			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
244			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
245			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
246			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
247			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
248			maintainer.

1151			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1152			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1153			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1154			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1155
1156			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1157			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1158			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1159			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1160			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1161			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)

1164
1165			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1166			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1167			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1168			from fascism period.
1169
1170			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1171			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1172			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1173			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1174			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1175			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1176			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1177			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1178			SIAE.
1179
1180			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1181			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1182			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1183			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1184			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1185			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1194			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1195			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1196			western country.
1197
1198			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1199			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1200			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1201			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1202			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1203			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved

1271
1272			Hi
1273
1274			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1275			someone here can advise me.
1276
1277			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1278			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1279			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1280			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1281			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1282
1283			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1284			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1285			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1286			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1287			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

1574			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1575			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1576			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1577			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1578			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1579			es nicht.
1580
1581			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1582			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1583			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1584			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1585			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1586			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1587
1588			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1589			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1590			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1591			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1592			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1593			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1594			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1595			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1596			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1597			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1598			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1599			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1600			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1601			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1602
1603			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1604			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1605			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1606			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1607			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1608			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1609			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1610
1611			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1612			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1613			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1614			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1615			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1616			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1617			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1618			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1619			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1620			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1621			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1622			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1623			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1624			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1625			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1626			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1627			alternativ' Idioten!
1628
1629			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1630			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1631			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1632			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1633			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1634			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1635			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1636			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1637			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1638			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1639			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1640			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1641			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1642			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1643
1644			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1645			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1646			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

1648			Ich will R A C H E !
1649
1650			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1651			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1652			Dinge zu sagen:
1653
1654			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1655
1656			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1657			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1658			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1659			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1660			anfange.
1661
1662			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1663			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1664			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1665			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1666			dieser verdammten schule!
1667
1668			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
1669			die Welt zu bieten hat!
1670
1671			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
1672
1673			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
1674			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1675			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1676			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1677			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1678			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1679			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1680			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1681			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1682			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1683
1684			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1685			Einschulung.
1686
1687			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1688			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1689			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1690			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1691			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1692			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1693			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1694			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1695			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
1696			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!
1697
1698			WERDET ENDLICH WACH - GEHT AUF DIE STRASSE - DAS HAT IN DEUTSCHLAND
1699			SCHONMAL FUNKTIONIERT!

1701			Nach meiner Tat werden wieder irgendwelche fetten Politiker dumme
1702			Sprüche klopfen wie "Wir halten nun alle zusammen" oder "Wir
1703			müssen gemeinsam versuchen dies durchzustehen". Doch das machen
1704			sie nur um Aufmerksmakeit zu bekommen, um sich selbst als die Lösung
1705			zu präsentieren. Auf der GSS war es genauso... niemals lässt
1706			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn
1707			Theater-aufführungen sind, dann steht sie als erste mit einem breiten
1708			Grinsen auf der Bühne und präsentiert sich der Masse!
1709
1710			Nazis, HipHoper, Türken, Staat, Staatsdiener, Gläubige... einfach alle
1711			sind zum kotzen und müssen vernichtet werden! (Den begriff "Türken"
1712			benutze ich für alle HipHopMuchels und Kleingangster; Sie kommen nach
1713			Deutschland weil die Bedingungen bei ihnen zu hause zu schlecht sind,
1714			weil Krieg ist... und dann kommen Sie nach Deutschland, dem Sozialamt der
1715			Welt, und lassne hier die Sau raus. Sie sollten alle vergast werden! Keine
1716			Juden, keine Neger, keine Holländer, aber Muchels! ICH BIN KEIN SCHEISS
1717			NAZI) Ich hasse euch und eure Art! Ihr müsst alle sterben!
1718
1719			Seit meinem 6. Lebensjahr wurde ich von euch allen verarscht! Nun müsst
1720			ihr dafür bezahlen!
1721
1722			Weil ich weiss das die Fascholizei meine Videos, Schulhefte, Tagebücher,
1723			einfach alles, nicht veröffentlichen will, habe ich das selbst in die
1724			Hand genommen.
1725
1726			Als letztes möchte ich den Menschen die mir was bedeuten, oder die jemals
1727			gut zu mir waren, danken, und mich für all dies Entschuldigen!

1984			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1985			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1986			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1987			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1988			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1989			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1990			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1991			companies want to own your computer.
1992
1993			Some examples:
1994
1995			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1996			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1997			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1998			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1999			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2000			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2001			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2002			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2003			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2004	root	1.432
2005	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2006			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2007			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2008			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2009			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2010
2011			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2012			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2013			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2014			from Microsoft? You can't.
2015
2016			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2017			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2018			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2019			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2020			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2021			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2022			adversely affect its business partners.
2023
2024			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2025			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2026			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2027			about your behavior.
2028
2029			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2030			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2031			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2032			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2033			presumed infractions.
2034
2035			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2036			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2037			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2038
2039			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2040			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2041			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2042			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2043			user's device against him.
2044			[...]
2045			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2046			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2047			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2048			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2049			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2050			back-room marketing deals.

2227			By Bertrand Russell
2228
2229			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2230			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2231			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2232			might be set forth as follows:
2233
2234			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2235
2236			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2237			evidence is sure to come to light.
2238
2239			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2240
2241			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2242			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2243			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2244
2245			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2246			contrary authorities to be found.
2247
2248			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2249			do the opinions will suppress you.
2250
2251			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2252			was once eccentric.
2253
2254			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2255			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2256			agreement than the latter.
2257
2258			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2259			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2260
2261			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2262			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
2263
2264			"A Liberal Decalogue" is from The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell,

3113			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3114			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3115			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3116			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3117			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3118			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them

3251			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3252
3253			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3254			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3255			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3256			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3257			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3258			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3259			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3260			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3261			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3262			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3263			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3264			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3265			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3266			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3267			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3268			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3269			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3270			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3271			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3272			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3273			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3274			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3275			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3276			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3277
3278			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3279			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3280			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3281			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3282			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3283
3284			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3285			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3286			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3287			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3288			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3289			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3290			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3291			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3292			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3293			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3294			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3295
3296			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3297			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3298			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3299			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3300			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3301			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3302			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3303			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3304			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3305			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3306			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3307			sovereign nation.

3375
3376			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3377
3378			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3379			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3380			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3381			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3382			explanation of this.
3383
3384			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3385
3386			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3387			which explains why the hammer falls.
3388
3389			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3390			how a population's genome can change over time.
3391

3398			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3399			acceleration.
3400
3401			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3402			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3403			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3404			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3405			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3406			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3407			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3408			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be

3569			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3570
3571			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3572			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3573			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3574			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3575			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3576			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3577			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3578			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3579			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3580			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3581			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3582			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3583			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3584			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3585
3586			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3587			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3588			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3589			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3590			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3591			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3592			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4638			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4639			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4640			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4641			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4642			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4643			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4644			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4645			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4646			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4647			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4648			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4649			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4650			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4651			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4652			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting

4654			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4974	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4975			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4976			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4977			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4978			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4979			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4980			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4981
4982			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4983			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4984			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4985			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4986			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4987			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4988			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4989			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4990			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4991			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4992
4993			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4994			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4995			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4996			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5200			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5201			last until February 16th 2003.
5202
5203			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5204			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5205			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5206			end.
5207
5208			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5209
5210			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5211			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5212			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5213			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5214			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5215			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5216			take place on October 27th.
5217
5218			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5219			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5220			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5221			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5222			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5223			the clock)...

5407			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs

5410			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5411			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5412			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5413			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5414			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5415			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5416			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5417			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

5711
5712			[...]
5713			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5714			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5715			of for Windows desktop systems."
5716			[...]
5717			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5718			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5719			[...]
5720			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5721			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5722			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5723			turned on by default.
5724			[...]
5725			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5726			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5727			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5728			[...]
5729			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5730			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5731			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5732			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5733			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5734			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5735			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5736			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5737			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

5933			prior systems. Buffer overflow has been one of the attacks frequently used
5934			on the Internet. We have gone through all code and, in an automated way,
5935			found places where there could be buffer overflow, and those have been
5936			removed in Windows XP.
5937
5938			We have also turned off by default a whole set of things so that users are
5939			configured in a minimalist kind of way, making them less vulnerable. We

5946			Ferguson found a security flaw in Intel's HDCP Digital Video Encryption

5954			Here's another: A few weeks ago, a release of the Linux kernel came

7423
7424			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7425			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7426			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7427			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7428			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7429			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7430			do the right thing.
7431
7432			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7433			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7434			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7435			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7436			and they have to fix it.

8878			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is

8880			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8881			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8882			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8883			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8884			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8885			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8886			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8887			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8888			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8889			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8890			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8891			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8892			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8893			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8894			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8895			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8896			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8897			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8898			work.

8900			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some

9108			I sit behind an NT dual P2/400 256MB for too many hours each day. It is
9109			"slow". One of my (fun) tasks is CD mastering. When i'm loading a 500MB
9110			wav file into the editor, the machine goes useless for two minutes while
9111			loading the wave file. Basically its just reading the file and writing it
9112			to swap. The CPU is at 5%. No Alt-Tab between apps during that time. No
9113			chance of putting the mouse over a button (too many dropped ticks). The
9114			NT kernel is just sitting waiting for I/O completions.
9115
9116			Linux would be embarrassed to be that bad.

9561			This one is hardly persuasive. Many languages do innumerable things

9566			* The Fortran lexer (as it were), having no need of white space to

9568			interesting way.
9569			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
9570			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
9571			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do
9572			interesting things.
9573			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that
9574			language, allowing parameterized meta-classes to do interesting
9575			things.

10407			whether assemblers, tools, or C++, are designed by people who are unaware
10408			of, or give little thought to, the outright readability of code written in
10409			the language, in the sense that the basic semantics should be fairly obvious

10411
10412			(In HPPA assembler's case, one glaring stupidity was the nullified branches,
10413			which have completely different semantics depending on whether the label
10414			being branched to happens to assemble to a negative or positive offset! A
10415			smarter design would have required the programmer to specify whether such a
10416			branch was a "forward" or "backward" branch explicitly, then the assembler
10417			and/or linker would complain if reality didn't match the programmer's

10907			Date: 09 Nov 1995 02:57:30 GMT
10908			Subject: Re: system() question
10909
10910			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10911			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10912			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10913			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10914			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10915			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10916			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10917			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10918			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10919			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10920			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10921			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10922			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10923			humiliating for me!)
10924
10925			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10926			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10927			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10928			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10929			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10930			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10931			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10932			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10933			really knows the answer.
10934
10935			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10936			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10937			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10938			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10939
10940			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10941			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10942			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10943			for that.
10944
10945			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10946			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10947			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10948			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10949			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10950			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10951			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10952
10953			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10954
10955			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10956			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10957			something for free.''
10958
10959			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10960
10961			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10962			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10963
10964			(Good question.)
10965
10966			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10967			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10968			once I have run it.''
10969			(Good question.)
10970
10971			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10972
10973			(Good question.)
10974
10975			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10976			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10977			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10978			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10979			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10980
10981			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10982			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10983			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10984			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10985			comp.lang.perl?
10986			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10987			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10988			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10989			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10990			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10991			in comp.lang.perl?
10992
10993			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10994			you my rate card.
10995
10996			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10997			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10998			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10999			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11000			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11001			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11002			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11003			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11004			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11005			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11006
11007			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11008			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11009			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11010			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11011			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11012			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11013			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11014			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11015			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11016			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11017			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11018			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11019			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11020			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11021			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11022			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11023
11024			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11025			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11026			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11027			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11028			someone will. Maybe I will.
11029
11030			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11031			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11032			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11033			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11034			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11035			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11036			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11037			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11038
11039			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11040			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11041			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11042			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11043			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11044			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11045			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11046			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11047			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11048			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11049			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11050			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11051			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11052			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11053
11054			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11055			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11056			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11057			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11058
11059			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11060
11061			`I want to accomplish X.
11062
11063			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11064
11065			...
11066
11067			But instead it does Y.
11068
11069			Why is that?''
11070
11071			This one is also pretty good:
11072
11073			`I want to accomplish X.
11074			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11075
11076			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11077			because of Z.
11078
11079			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11080
11081			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11082			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11083
11084
11085			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11086			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11149			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11150			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11151			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11152	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11153	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11154			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11155			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11156			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11157	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11158	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer

11160	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11161			nicht. ;)
11162
11163	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11164			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11165			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11166	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11167			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11168	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11169	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11170
11171	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11172			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11173	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom

11234			The Unix shell as a 4GL

11237			perform almost any function imaginable. Nothing comes close to providing the
11238			functions that come standard with Unix. Programs and philosophies carried
11239			over from other systems put walls between the user and Unix, and the power

11244	root	1.1	Perl is incredibly difficult to parse. For example, what's the difference
11245			between these:
11246
11247			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11248			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11249
11250			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11251			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11252			;#", and the print gets executed!
11253
11254			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11255			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11256			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11257			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11258
11259			Which led Larry to say at one point: "the only thing that can parse Perl is
11260			'perl'".

11599	root	1.1	In Germany, where typeface design has always been a significant part of
11600			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
11601			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11602			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11603			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11604			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11605			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11606			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11607			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11608			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11609			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11610			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11611			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11612			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11613			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11614			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
