244
245			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
246			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
247
248			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
249			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
250			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
251			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
252			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
253
254			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
255			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
256			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
257			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
258			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
259			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
260			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
261			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
262			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
263
264			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
265			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
266			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
267			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
268			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
269			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
270			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
271			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
272			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
273			maintainer.

462			As with Francois, I used to use ccache for recompiling packages that

464			the time, I had overrated memory, and a BIOS without a memory clock
465			option. The system was generally fine, but once in awhile would scramble
466			a memory transfer enough to cause a crash. CCache was a LOT of help in

1178			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1179			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1180
1181			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1182			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1183			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1184			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I

1186			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)

1189
1190			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1191			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1192			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1193			from fascism period.
1194
1195			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1196			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1197			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1198			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1199			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1200			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1201			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1202			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1203			SIAE.
1204
1205			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1206			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1207			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1208			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1209			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1210			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1220			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1221			western country.
1222
1223			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1224			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1225			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last

1227			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1228			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved

1296
1297			Hi
1298
1299			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1300			someone here can advise me.
1301
1302			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1303			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1304			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1305			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1306			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1307
1308			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1309			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1310			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1311			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1312			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

1395			Portability : try installing unix on cutting edge hardware . bad luck it won`t work . install windows (the oldest) on any ... it will .
1396			Help : try get help for linux . after exploring tons of sites and forums the help you got is useless . for windows you just call them .
1397			Applications : we all know there are more and more on windows . linux will probably never get so many .
1398			GUI : we know how customisable is the windows gui . and how stable .
1399			Gaming : ...anyone got an ideea of a linux game that is really cool ?
1400			Cost : install linux as server ... it is free no ? but you have to pay a sysadmin . or learn a lot . buy a lot of books . using windows ... just click next . if you are not dumb you might make it secure too (reading help does HELP! ) .
1401			Virus : due to the fact that windows is so flexible it is logcal to have viruses . afterall the human body has more than a monkeys one .
1402			Stability : reboot windows 100 times by using the case button . perhaps a scandisk will appear . reboot linux ... ups kernel panic .

1599			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1600			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1601			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1602			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1603			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1604			es nicht.
1605
1606			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1607			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1608			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1609			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1610			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1611			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1612
1613			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1614			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1615			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1616			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1617			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1618			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1619			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1620			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1621			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1622			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1623			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1624			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1625			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1626			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1627
1628			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1629			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1630			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1631			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1632			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1633			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1634			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1635
1636			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1637			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1638			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1639			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1640			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1641			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1642			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1643			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1644			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1645			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1646			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1647			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1648			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1649			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1650			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1651			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1652			alternativ' Idioten!
1653
1654			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1655			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1656			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1657			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1658			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1659			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1660			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1661			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1662			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1663			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1664			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1665			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1666			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1667			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1668
1669			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1670			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1671			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

1673			Ich will R A C H E !
1674
1675			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1676			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1677			Dinge zu sagen:
1678
1679			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1680
1681			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1682			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1683			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1684			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1685			anfange.
1686
1687			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1688			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1689			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1690			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1691			dieser verdammten schule!
1692
1693			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
1694			die Welt zu bieten hat!
1695
1696			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
1697
1698			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
1699			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1700			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1701			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1702			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1703			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1704			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1705			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1706			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1707			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1708
1709			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1710			Einschulung.
1711
1712			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1713			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1714			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1715			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1716			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1717			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1718			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1719			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1720			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
1721			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!
1722
1723			WERDET ENDLICH WACH - GEHT AUF DIE STRASSE - DAS HAT IN DEUTSCHLAND
1724			SCHONMAL FUNKTIONIERT!
1725
1726			Nach meiner Tat werden wieder irgendwelche fetten Politiker dumme
1727			Sprüche klopfen wie "Wir halten nun alle zusammen" oder "Wir
1728			müssen gemeinsam versuchen dies durchzustehen". Doch das machen
1729			sie nur um Aufmerksmakeit zu bekommen, um sich selbst als die Lösung
1730			zu präsentieren. Auf der GSS war es genauso... niemals lässt
1731			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn
1732			Theater-aufführungen sind, dann steht sie als erste mit einem breiten
1733			Grinsen auf der Bühne und präsentiert sich der Masse!
1734
1735			Nazis, HipHoper, Türken, Staat, Staatsdiener, Gläubige... einfach alle
1736			sind zum kotzen und müssen vernichtet werden! (Den begriff "Türken"
1737			benutze ich für alle HipHopMuchels und Kleingangster; Sie kommen nach
1738			Deutschland weil die Bedingungen bei ihnen zu hause zu schlecht sind,
1739			weil Krieg ist... und dann kommen Sie nach Deutschland, dem Sozialamt der
1740			Welt, und lassne hier die Sau raus. Sie sollten alle vergast werden! Keine
1741			Juden, keine Neger, keine Holländer, aber Muchels! ICH BIN KEIN SCHEISS
1742			NAZI) Ich hasse euch und eure Art! Ihr müsst alle sterben!
1743
1744			Seit meinem 6. Lebensjahr wurde ich von euch allen verarscht! Nun müsst
1745			ihr dafür bezahlen!
1746
1747			Weil ich weiss das die Fascholizei meine Videos, Schulhefte, Tagebücher,
1748			einfach alles, nicht veröffentlichen will, habe ich das selbst in die
1749			Hand genommen.
1750
1751			Als letztes möchte ich den Menschen die mir was bedeuten, oder die jemals
1752			gut zu mir waren, danken, und mich für all dies Entschuldigen!

2009			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2010			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2011			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2012			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2013			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2014			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2015			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2016			companies want to own your computer.
2017
2018			Some examples:
2019
2020			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2021			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2022			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2023			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2024			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2025			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2026			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2027			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2028			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2029	root	1.432
2030	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2031			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2032			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2033			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2034			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2035
2036			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2037			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2038			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2039			from Microsoft? You can't.
2040
2041			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2042			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2043			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2044			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2045			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2046			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2047			adversely affect its business partners.
2048
2049			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2050			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2051			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2052			about your behavior.
2053
2054			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2055			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2056			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2057			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2058			presumed infractions.
2059
2060			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2061			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2062			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2063
2064			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2065			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2066			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2067			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2068			user's device against him.
2069			[...]
2070			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2071			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2072			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2073			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2074			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2075			back-room marketing deals.

2252			By Bertrand Russell
2253
2254			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2255			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2256			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2257			might be set forth as follows:
2258
2259			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2260
2261			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2262			evidence is sure to come to light.
2263
2264			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2265
2266			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2267			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2268			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2269
2270			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2271			contrary authorities to be found.
2272
2273			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2274			do the opinions will suppress you.
2275
2276			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2277			was once eccentric.
2278
2279			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2280			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2281			agreement than the latter.
2282
2283			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2284			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2285
2286			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2287			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
2288
2289			"A Liberal Decalogue" is from The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell,

3138			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3139			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3140			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3141			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3142			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3143			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them

3276			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3277
3278			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3279			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3280			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3281			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3282			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3283			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3284			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3285			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3286			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3287			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3288			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3289			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3290			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3291			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3292			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3293			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3294			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3295			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3296			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3297			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3298			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3299			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3300			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3301			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3302
3303			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3304			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3305			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3306			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3307			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3308
3309			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3310			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3311			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3312			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3313			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3314			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3315			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3316			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3317			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3318			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3319			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3320
3321			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3322			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3323			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3324			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3325			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3326			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3327			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3328			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3329			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3330			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3331			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3332			sovereign nation.

3400
3401			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3402
3403			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3404			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3405			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3406			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3407			explanation of this.
3408
3409			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3410
3411			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3412			which explains why the hammer falls.
3413
3414			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3415			how a population's genome can change over time.

3424			acceleration.
3425
3426			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3427			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3428			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3429			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3430			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3431			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3432			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3433			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be

3594			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3595
3596			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3597			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3598			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3599			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3600			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3601			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3602			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3603			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3604			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3605			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3606			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3607			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3608			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3609			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3610
3611			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3612			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3613			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3614			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3615			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3616			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3617			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4663			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4664			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4665			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4666			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4667			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4668			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4669			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4670			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4671			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4672			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4673			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4674			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4675			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4676			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source

4999	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5000			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5001			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5002			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5003			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5004			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5005			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5006
5007			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5008			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5009			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5010			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5011			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5012			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5013			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5014			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5015			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5016			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5017
5018			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5019			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5020			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5021			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5226			last until February 16th 2003.
5227
5228			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5229			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5230			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5231			end.
5232
5233			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5234
5235			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5236			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5237			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5238			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5239			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5240			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5241			take place on October 27th.
5242
5243			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5244			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5245			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5246			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5247			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5248			the clock)...

5426			A comment on Slashdot sums it up best: "Microsoft has therefore taken
5427			the position that their code is so bad that it must be kept secret to
5428			keep people from being killed by it. Windows -- the Pinto of the 21st

5430
5431			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5432			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5433			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5434			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5435			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5436			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5437			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5438			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5439			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5440			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5441			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5442			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

5507			Funny you should mention that, since Bitkeeper has embarrassed itself pretty
5508			badly with respect to patches, so far.
5509
5510			- Somebody decided to add another level on top of the linux root directory
5511			in their source directory. I can't import patches into that.
5512
5513			- I can apply patches to bitkeeper repository using the normal 'patch',
5514			but Bitkeeper gets its revenge later, as each bk edit command starts
5515			off by throwing away the patch.
5516
5517			Given the hype, I expected more. I want a tool to save work for me, not
5518			create new work. I don't think I'll be using Bitkeeper as a substitute for
5519			patch any time soon.

5738			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5739			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware

5741			[...]
5742			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5743			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5744			[...]
5745			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5746			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5747			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5748			turned on by default.
5749			[...]
5750			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5751			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5752			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5753			[...]
5754			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5755			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5756			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5757			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5758			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5759			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5760			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5761			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5762			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

7448
7449			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7450			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7451			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7452			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7453			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7454			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7455			do the right thing.
7456
7457			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7458			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7459			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7460			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7461			and they have to fix it.

7820			Sure. And keep that dusty 2.4.3 kernel around just in case you someday need
7821			to upgrade the firmware for your disk, and the (binary!) kernel module only
7822			works with that one. Don't forget the 2.4.15ac12 which is for your USB

8903			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8904			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8905			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8906			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8907			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8908			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8909			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8910			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8911			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8912			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8913			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8914			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8915			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8916			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8917			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8918			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8919			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8920			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8921			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8922			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8923			work.
8924			[...]
8925			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8926			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8927			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8928			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8929			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8930			search generically - then it has some potential.

9133			I sit behind an NT dual P2/400 256MB for too many hours each day. It is
9134			"slow". One of my (fun) tasks is CD mastering. When i'm loading a 500MB
9135			wav file into the editor, the machine goes useless for two minutes while
9136			loading the wave file. Basically its just reading the file and writing it
9137			to swap. The CPU is at 5%. No Alt-Tab between apps during that time. No
9138			chance of putting the mouse over a button (too many dropped ticks). The
9139			NT kernel is just sitting waiting for I/O completions.

9594			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
9595			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
9596			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do

9598			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that

10055			worried Mary... Well, as she drove along she noticed a florists shop. "Aha!
10056			Thought Mary, "Flour shops are full of thoughtless men who need to apologize to

10058			the hoods of their cars in the shade of a tree."
10059
10060			"Brrring" said the bell of the door to the flower shop as Mary poked her head
10061			through the door.
10062			"HELP!!! MY CAR IS SMOKING!" Screamed Mary.
10063			"There is a garage right next door." Said the shopkeeper.
10064			"That's right," Said Melvin, "And there is a parts store across the street. If
10065			you ask for Fred, he's pretty savvy about that kind of stuff."
10066			Now Joe was also in the flower store. This was his first time in trouble, so
10067			he did not hear the 30 or 40 people per day who came in screaming about their
10068			cars smoking (mostly men, of course -- the ones under the shade trees,

10070
10071			"Why don't you help the stinking lady!!" Screamed Joe. "It might be your

10074			Now Tim, also new to the flower shop felt the courage to chime in, "Or it could

10076			"My car smoked once and it was an oil leak, where the head gasket was spraying

10932			Date: 09 Nov 1995 02:57:30 GMT
10933			Subject: Re: system() question
10934
10935			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10936			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10937			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10938			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10939			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10940			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10941			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10942			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10943			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10944			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10945			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10946			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10947			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10948			humiliating for me!)
10949
10950			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10951			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10952			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10953			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10954			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10955			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10956			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10957			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10958			really knows the answer.
10959
10960			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10961			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10962			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10963			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10964
10965			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10966			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10967			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10968			for that.
10969
10970			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10971			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10972			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10973			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10974			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10975			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10976			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10977
10978			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10979
10980			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10981			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10982			something for free.''
10983
10984			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10985
10986			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10987			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10988
10989			(Good question.)
10990
10991			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10992			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10993			once I have run it.''
10994			(Good question.)
10995
10996			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10997
10998			(Good question.)
10999
11000			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11001			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11002			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11003			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11004			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11005
11006			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11007			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11008			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11009			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11010			comp.lang.perl?
11011			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11012			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11013			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11014			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11015			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11016			in comp.lang.perl?
11017
11018			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11019			you my rate card.
11020
11021			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11022			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11023			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11024			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11025			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11026			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11027			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11028			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11029			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11030			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11031
11032			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11033			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11034			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11035			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11036			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11037			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11038			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11039			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11040			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11041			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11042			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11043			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11044			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11045			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11046			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11047			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11048
11049			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11050			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11051			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11052			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11053			someone will. Maybe I will.
11054
11055			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11056			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11057			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11058			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11059			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11060			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11061			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11062			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11063
11064			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11065			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11066			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11067			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11068			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11069			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11070			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11071			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11072			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11073			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11074			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11075			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11076			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11077			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11078
11079			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11080			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11081			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11082			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11083
11084			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11085
11086			`I want to accomplish X.
11087
11088			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11089
11090			...
11091
11092			But instead it does Y.
11093
11094			Why is that?''
11095
11096			This one is also pretty good:
11097
11098			`I want to accomplish X.
11099			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11100
11101			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11102			because of Z.
11103
11104			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11105
11106			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11107			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11108
11109
11110			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11111			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11175			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11176			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine

11178	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11179			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11180			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11181			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11182	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11183	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer

11187
11188	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes

11191	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11192			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11193	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11194	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11195
11196	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz

11198	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom

11259			The Unix shell as a 4GL

11262			perform almost any function imaginable. Nothing comes close to providing the
11263			functions that come standard with Unix. Programs and philosophies carried
11264			over from other systems put walls between the user and Unix, and the power

11269	root	1.1	Perl is incredibly difficult to parse. For example, what's the difference
11270			between these:
11271
11272			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11273			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11274
11275			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11276			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11277			;#", and the print gets executed!
11278
11279			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11280			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11281			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11282			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11283
11284			Which led Larry to say at one point: "the only thing that can parse Perl is
11285			'perl'".

11624	root	1.1	In Germany, where typeface design has always been a significant part of
11625			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
11626			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11627			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11628			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11629			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11630			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11631			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11632			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11633			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11634			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11635			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11636			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11637			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11638			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11639			scale than would initially seem to be the case.

11666			It has no decent support for string processing, allowing you to spend
