4
5			2) "You didn’t REALLY read her books and essays. Go read them again… you still disagree?" (defer back to 1)

7			3) Angry name calling (always a favorite)

9			4)!! "Read Rand’s disciples, they surely knew better what Rand REALLY meant." (Last line of defense when 1,2,3 fail)

312
313			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
314			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
315
316			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
317			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
318			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
319			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
320			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
321
322			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
323			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
324			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
325			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
326			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
327			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
328			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
329			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
330			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
331
332			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
333			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
334			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
335			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
336			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
337			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
338			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
339			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
340			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
341			maintainer.

1248

1250			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1251			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1252			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I

1257
1258			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1259			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1260			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1261			from fascism period.
1262
1263			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1264			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1265			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1266			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1267			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1268			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1269			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1270			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1271			SIAE.
1272
1273			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1274			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1275			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1276			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1277			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1278			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1288			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1289			western country.
1290
1291			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1292			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1293			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last

1364
1365			Hi
1366
1367			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1368			someone here can advise me.
1369
1370			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1371			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1372			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1373			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1374			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1375
1376			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1377			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1378			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1379			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1380			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

1466			GUI : we know how customisable is the windows gui . and how stable .
1467			Gaming : ...anyone got an ideea of a linux game that is really cool ?
1468			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! ) .
1469			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 .
1470			Stability : reboot windows 100 times by using the case button . perhaps a scandisk will appear . reboot linux ... ups kernel panic .

1670			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1671			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1672			es nicht.
1673
1674			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1675			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1676			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1677			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1678			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1679			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1680
1681			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1682			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1683			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1684			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1685			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1686			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1687			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1688			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1689			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1690			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1691			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1692			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1693			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1694			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1695
1696			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1697			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1698			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1699			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1700			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1701			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1702			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1703
1704			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1705			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1706			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1707			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1708			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1709			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1710			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1711			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1712			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1713			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1714			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1715			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1716			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1717			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1718			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1719			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1720			alternativ' Idioten!
1721
1722			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1723			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1724			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1725			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1726			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1727			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1728			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1729			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1730			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1731			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1732			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1733			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1734			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1735			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1736

1739			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

1742
1743			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1744			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1745			Dinge zu sagen:
1746
1747			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1748
1749			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1750			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1751			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1752			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1753			anfange.
1754
1755			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1756			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1757			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1758			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1759			dieser verdammten schule!

1768			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1769			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1770			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können

2077			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2078			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2079			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2080			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2081			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2082			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2083			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2084			companies want to own your computer.
2085
2086			Some examples:
2087
2088			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2089			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2090			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2091			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2092			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2093			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2094			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2095			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2096			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2097	root	1.432
2098	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2099			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2100			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2101			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2102			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2103
2104			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2105			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2106			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2107			from Microsoft? You can't.
2108
2109			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2110			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2111			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2112			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2113			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2114			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2115			adversely affect its business partners.
2116
2117			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2118			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2119			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2120			about your behavior.
2121
2122			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2123			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2124			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2125			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2126			presumed infractions.
2127
2128			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2129			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2130			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2131
2132			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2133			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2134			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2135			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2136			user's device against him.
2137			[...]
2138			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2139			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2140			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2141			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2142			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2143			back-room marketing deals.

2320			By Bertrand Russell
2321
2322			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2323			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2324			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2325			might be set forth as follows:
2326
2327			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2328
2329			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2330			evidence is sure to come to light.
2331
2332			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2333
2334			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2335			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2336			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2337
2338			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2339			contrary authorities to be found.
2340
2341			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2342			do the opinions will suppress you.
2343
2344			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2345			was once eccentric.
2346
2347			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2348			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2349			agreement than the latter.
2350
2351			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2352			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2353
2354			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2355			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
2356

2943			people REALLY hate Teddy Ruxpin, maybe we're not so different after all...
2944			but on further investigation, Ruxpin had easily-programmable EEPROMs, so
2945			the Ruxpin chip was actually being repurposed as a controller for the
2946			explosives. They were jackin' overseas deliveries to get the Ruxpins.

3344			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3345
3346			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3347			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3348			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3349			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3350			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3351			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3352			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3353			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3354			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3355			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3356			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3357			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3358			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3359			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3360			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3361			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3362			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3363			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3364			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3365			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3366			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3367			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3368			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3369			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3370
3371			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3372			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3373			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3374			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3375			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3376
3377			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3378			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3379			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3380			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3381			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3382			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3383			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3384			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3385			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3386			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3387			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3388
3389			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3390			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3391			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3392			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3393			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3394			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3395			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3396			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3397			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3398			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3399			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3400			sovereign nation.
3401
3402			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3403			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3404			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3405			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3406			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3407			CSPAN, don't post here.

3468
3469			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3470
3471			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3472			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3473			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3474			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3475			explanation of this.
3476
3477			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3478
3479			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3480			which explains why the hammer falls.
3481
3482			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3483			how a population's genome can change over time.
3484
3485	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3486			mathematical relationship between two values.
3487	root	1.265
3488			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3489			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3490
3491			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3492			acceleration.
3493
3494			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3495			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3496			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3497			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3498			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3499			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3500			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3501			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3502			false.

3671			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3672			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3673			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3674			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3675			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3676			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3677			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3678
3679			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3680			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3681			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3682			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3683			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3684			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3685			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4733			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4734			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4735			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4736			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4737			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4738			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital

5067	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5068			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5069			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5070			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5071			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5072			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5073			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5074
5075			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5076			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5077			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5078			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5079			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5080			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5081			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5082			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5083			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5084			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5085
5086			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5087			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5088			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5089			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5304			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5305			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,

5311			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5312			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5313			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5314			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5315			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change

5500			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5501			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5502			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5503			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5504			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5505			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5506			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5507			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5508			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5509			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5510			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

5810			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two

5813			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer

7071			- allerdings nur mit einem Bruchteil seiner urspruenglichen Faehigkeiten
7072			(640k Speicher, 16bit Farbwahrnehmung, kein Plug&Play). Er plant nun eine

7516
7517			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7518			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7519			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7520			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7521			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7522			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7523			do the right thing.
7524
7525			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7526			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7527			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7528			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7529			and they have to fix it.

7845			She introduced ML (along with two other languages) as part of a course

8980			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8981			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8982			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8983			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8984			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8985			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians

8987			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8988			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in

9124			the 'posicks box', a mechanism within one of the late 20th century
9125			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
9126			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by
9127			its commercial-mimetic sustainer), designed so as to provide the
9128			appearance and functionality required to comply with one of the few
9129			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the
9130			time. Unsurprising given the non-integration imperitives used by the
9131			agent's sustainter, this mechanism was demonstrated to be an ingenious
9132			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
9133			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
9134			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge
9135			pool, benefiting the sustainer in the short run due to the focus
9136			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
9137			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long
9138			run, as neither the 'windows' or 'posicks' schemas were relevant to
9139			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
9140			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale
9141			logic units (a fact that only a few meta-experts still need to be
9142			aware of), and 'windows' survives, for religious-mimetic reasons, as
9143			the human-communication agent in a few stereotypical toasters and soap

9979			Hmmm, if some RTEMS users have nuclear facilities attached to their
9980			systems, they might be well advised to be careful using FORTRAN as
9981			their language of choice. The comp.lang.fortran FAQ states (with
9982			concurrence from resident X3J3 members) that "using a non-standard
9983			construct might start WW III, if the necessary (optional) hardware
9984			is installed"

10398			Die enorme Zentrifugalkraft im Erdinnern schleudert das Wasser wieder
10399			am Nordpolpol raus, falls der Traktorstrahl versagen sollte (Dies
10400			passiert immer dann, wenn das Erdmagnetfeld umkippt). Nun kommt sicher
10401	root	1.388	der Einwand, die Erde würde zu langsam rotieren. Das ist nur bedingt
10402			richtig. Richtig ist hingegen, daß die Rotationsgeschwindigkeit im
10403			Erdinnern um den Faktor 1000 (ca; sehr schwer zu messen: Magma) größer
10404			ist als auf der Erdoberfläche. Dies ist auch die Ursache für die
10405	root	1.1	Kontinentaldrift und die Mondphasen.
10406
10407			Die Mondphasen wiederum beeinflussen das Erdmagnetfeld und sind daher
10408	root	1.388	die Ursache für die Sonnenflecken. Den Sonnenflecken haben wir auch
10409			die momentane Klimaveränderung zu verdanken. Auf der anderen Seite hat
10410			die Zunahme der Treibhausgase eine Erhöhung des Reflektionsvermögens
10411			der Atmosphäre zur Folge, welches dazu führt, daß ein Teil der
10412			Sonnenenergie zur Sonne zurückreflektiert wird. Dies heizt wiederum
10413			die Sonnenflecken auf und verkürzt deren Zyklus. All dies wird sich in
10414			den nächten Monaten so aufschaukeln, daß vorraussichtlich im Novemner
10415	root	1.1	2002 das Erdmagnetfeld zusammenbrechen wird. Wie damals bei den Dinos.

11001			Subject: Re: system() question
11002
11003			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
11004			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
11005			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
11006			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
11007			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
11008			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
11009			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
11010			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
11011			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
11012			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
11013			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
11014			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
11015			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
11016			humiliating for me!)
11017
11018			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
11019			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
11020			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
11021			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
11022			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
11023			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
11024			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
11025			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
11026			really knows the answer.
11027
11028			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
11029			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
11030			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
11031			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
11032
11033			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
11034			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
11035			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
11036			for that.
11037
11038			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
11039			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
11040			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
11041			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
11042			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
11043			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
11044			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
11045
11046			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
11047
11048			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
11049			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
11050			something for free.''
11051
11052			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
11053
11054			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
11055			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
11056
11057			(Good question.)
11058
11059			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
11060			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
11061			once I have run it.''
11062			(Good question.)
11063
11064			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
11065
11066			(Good question.)
11067
11068			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11069			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11070			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11071			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11072			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11073
11074			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11075			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11076			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11077			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11078			comp.lang.perl?
11079			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11080			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11081			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11082			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11083			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11084			in comp.lang.perl?
11085
11086			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11087			you my rate card.
11088
11089			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11090			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11091			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11092			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11093			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11094			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11095			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11096			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11097			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11098			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11099
11100			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11101			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11102			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11103			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11104			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11105			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11106			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11107			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11108			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11109			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11110			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11111			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11112			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11113			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11114			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11115			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11116
11117			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11118			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11119			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11120			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11121			someone will. Maybe I will.
11122
11123			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11124			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11125			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11126			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11127			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11128			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11129			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11130			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11131
11132			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11133			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11134			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11135			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11136			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11137			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11138			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11139			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11140			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11141			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11142			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11143			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11144			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11145			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11146
11147			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11148			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11149			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11150			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11151
11152			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11153
11154			`I want to accomplish X.
11155
11156			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11157
11158			...
11159
11160			But instead it does Y.
11161
11162			Why is that?''
11163
11164			This one is also pretty good:
11165
11166			`I want to accomplish X.
11167			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11168
11169			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11170			because of Z.
11171
11172			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11173
11174			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11175			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11176
11177
11178			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11179			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11241	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11242			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11243			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11244			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11245	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11246	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11247			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11248			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11249			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11250	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11251	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11252			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11253	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11254			nicht. ;)
11255
11256	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11257			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11258			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11259	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11260			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11261	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11262	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11263
11264	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11265			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11266	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11267	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder
11268	root	1.1	wenn etwas nicht ist, das ist.
11269
11270	root	1.388	Von der Unfähigkeit des Menschen, sich einen unbegrenzten aber endlichen
11271	root	1.1	Raum (oder wie auch immer der Weltraum nun aussieht) vorzustellen auf die
11272	root	1.388	"Unlogik der Existenz" zu schließen, ist aber wohl nicht ganz möglich, zumal
11273			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11274	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an
11275	root	1.388	sich wird nicht in Frage gestellt dadurch, daß man sich etwas - egal was -
11276	root	1.1	nicht vorstellen kann. Er verwechselt die Begriffe "unlogisch" und
11277			"unvorstellbar".

11338			between these:
11339
11340			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11341			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11342
11343			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11344			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11345			;#", and the print gets executed!
11346
11347			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11348			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11349			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11350			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11351

11693			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
11694			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11695			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11696			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11697			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11698			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11699			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11700			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11701			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11702			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11703			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11704			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11705			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11706			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11707			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
