1	root	1.465	"There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old's
2			life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy
3			that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes,
4			leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to
5			deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs. "

329
330			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
331			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
332
333			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
334			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
335			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
336			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
337			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
338
339			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
340			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
341			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
342			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
343			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
344			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
345			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
346			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
347			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
348
349			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
350			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
351			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
352			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
353			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
354			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
355			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
356			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
357			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
358			maintainer.

1261			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1262			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1263			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1264			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1265
1266			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1267			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1268			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1269			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I

1274
1275			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1276			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1277			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1278			from fascism period.
1279
1280			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1281			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1282			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1283			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1284			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1285			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1286			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1287			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1288			SIAE.
1289
1290			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1291			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1292			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1293			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1294			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1295			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1301			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we

1303			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1304			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1305			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1306			western country.
1307
1308			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1309			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1310			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last

1312			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the

1394			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1395			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1396			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1397			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1398			corresponding thing in C?

1485			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! ) .
1486			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 .
1487			Stability : reboot windows 100 times by using the case button . perhaps a scandisk will appear . reboot linux ... ups kernel panic .

1687			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1688			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1689			es nicht.
1690
1691			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1692			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1693			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1694			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1695			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1696			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1697
1698			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1699			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1700			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1701			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1702			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1703			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1704			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1705			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1706			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1707			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1708			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1709			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1710			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1711			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1712
1713			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1714			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1715			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1716			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1717			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1718			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1719			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1720
1721			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1722			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1723			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1724			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1725			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1726			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1727			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1728			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1729			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1730			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1731			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1732			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1733			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1734			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1735			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1736			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1737			alternativ' Idioten!
1738
1739			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1740			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1741			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1742			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1743			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1744			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1745			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1746			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1747			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1748			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1749			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1750			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1751			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1752			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!

1755			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1756			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

1758			Ich will R A C H E !
1759
1760			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1761			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1762			Dinge zu sagen:
1763
1764			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1765
1766			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1767			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1768			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1769			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1770			anfange.
1771

2094			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2095			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2096			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2097			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2098			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2099			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2100			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2101			companies want to own your computer.
2102
2103			Some examples:
2104
2105			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2106			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2107			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2108			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2109			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2110			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2111			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2112			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2113			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2114	root	1.432
2115	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2116			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2117			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2118			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2119			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2120
2121			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2122			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2123			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2124			from Microsoft? You can't.
2125
2126			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2127			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2128			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2129			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2130			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2131			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2132			adversely affect its business partners.
2133
2134			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2135			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2136			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2137			about your behavior.
2138
2139			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2140			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2141			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2142			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2143			presumed infractions.
2144
2145			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2146			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2147			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2148
2149			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2150			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2151			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2152			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2153			user's device against him.
2154			[...]
2155			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2156			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2157			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2158			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2159			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2160			back-room marketing deals.

2192			it was abandoned. The engineers involved at SGI held a beach party in

2337			By Bertrand Russell
2338
2339			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2340			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2341			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2342			might be set forth as follows:
2343
2344			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2345
2346			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2347			evidence is sure to come to light.
2348
2349			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2350
2351			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2352			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2353			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2354
2355			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2356			contrary authorities to be found.
2357
2358			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2359			do the opinions will suppress you.
2360
2361			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2362			was once eccentric.
2363
2364			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2365			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2366			agreement than the latter.
2367
2368			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2369			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2370
2371			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2372			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

2949			Silly questions abound, all to cover people's butts. When I moved to
2950			the US in 1992 (from Canada), one of the questions on my green card
2951			application was "Do you, or any member of your immediate family, plan to
2952			violently overthrow the government of the United States or assasinate any
2953			elected official?" Not only did they have checkboxes for "yes" and "no",
2954			but they had a blank space labelled, "If you checked 'yes', please provide
2955			a detailed explanation in the space below." I never figured out what kind
2956			of explanation would make them give you a green card anyway.

2959			of landmines during the first gulf war... First, we just thought these
2960			people REALLY hate Teddy Ruxpin, maybe we're not so different after all...
2961			but on further investigation, Ruxpin had easily-programmable EEPROMs, so
2962			the Ruxpin chip was actually being repurposed as a controller for the
2963			explosives. They were jackin' overseas deliveries to get the Ruxpins.

3361			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3362
3363			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3364			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3365			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3366			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3367			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3368			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3369			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3370			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3371			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3372			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3373			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3374			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3375			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3376			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3377			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3378			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3379			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3380			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3381			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3382			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3383			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3384			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3385			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3386			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3387
3388			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3389			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3390			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3391			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3392			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3393
3394			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3395			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3396			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3397			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3398			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3399			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3400			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3401			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3402			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3403			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3404			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3405
3406			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3407			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3408			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3409			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3410			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3411			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3412			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3413			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3414			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3415			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3416			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3417			sovereign nation.
3418
3419			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3420			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3421			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3422			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3423			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3424			CSPAN, don't post here.

3485
3486			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3487
3488			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3489			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3490			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3491			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3492			explanation of this.
3493
3494			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3495
3496			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3497			which explains why the hammer falls.
3498
3499			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3500			how a population's genome can change over time.
3501
3502	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3503			mathematical relationship between two values.
3504	root	1.265
3505			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3506			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3507
3508			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3509			acceleration.
3510
3511			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3512			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3513			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3514			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3515			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3516			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3517			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3518			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3519			false.

3678	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3679			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3680
3681			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3682			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3683			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3684			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3685			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3686			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3687			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3688			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3689			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3690			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3691			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3692			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3693			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3694			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3695
3696			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3697			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3698			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3699			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3700			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3701			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3702			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4750			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4751			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4752			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4753			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."

5084	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5085			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5086			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5087			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5088			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5089			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5090			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5091
5092			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5093			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5094			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5095			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5096			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5097			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5098			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5099			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5100			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5101			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5102
5103			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5104			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5105			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5106			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5319
5320			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5321			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5322			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5323			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is

5325			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5326			take place on October 27th.
5327
5328			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5329			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5330			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5331			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5332			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5333			the clock)...

5516			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5517			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5518			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5519			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5520			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5521			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5522			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5523			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5524			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5525			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5526			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5527			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your
5528			clearance pulled for blabbing like that. Jim Allchin's testimony:

5531			At the same time, Microsoft tries to convince the Pentagon that open source
5532			software threatens security, and using proprietary Microsoft software is
5533			much safer (and better for the economy, to boot). This article is
5534			hilarious in light of the above.

5827			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two

5830			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer

6702			Fuer Benutzer eines "elektronischen Briefkastens" entsteht durch

6713	root	1.9	wurde ein Ordnungsgeld von 500.000 DM, ersatzweise Ordnungshaft bis

7533
7534			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7535			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7536			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7538			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7539			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7540			do the right thing.
7541
7542			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7543			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7544			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7545			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7546			and they have to fix it.

9141			the 'posicks box', a mechanism within one of the late 20th century
9142			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
9143			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by
9144			its commercial-mimetic sustainer), designed so as to provide the
9145			appearance and functionality required to comply with one of the few
9146			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the
9147			time. Unsurprising given the non-integration imperitives used by the
9148			agent's sustainter, this mechanism was demonstrated to be an ingenious
9149			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
9150			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
9151			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge
9152			pool, benefiting the sustainer in the short run due to the focus
9153			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
9154			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long
9155			run, as neither the 'windows' or 'posicks' schemas were relevant to
9156			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
9157			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale
9158			logic units (a fact that only a few meta-experts still need to be
9159			aware of), and 'windows' survives, for religious-mimetic reasons, as
9160			the human-communication agent in a few stereotypical toasters and soap

10415			Die enorme Zentrifugalkraft im Erdinnern schleudert das Wasser wieder
10416			am Nordpolpol raus, falls der Traktorstrahl versagen sollte (Dies
10417			passiert immer dann, wenn das Erdmagnetfeld umkippt). Nun kommt sicher
10418	root	1.388	der Einwand, die Erde würde zu langsam rotieren. Das ist nur bedingt
10419			richtig. Richtig ist hingegen, daß die Rotationsgeschwindigkeit im
10420			Erdinnern um den Faktor 1000 (ca; sehr schwer zu messen: Magma) größer
10421			ist als auf der Erdoberfläche. Dies ist auch die Ursache für die
10422	root	1.1	Kontinentaldrift und die Mondphasen.
10423
10424			Die Mondphasen wiederum beeinflussen das Erdmagnetfeld und sind daher
10425	root	1.388	die Ursache für die Sonnenflecken. Den Sonnenflecken haben wir auch
10426			die momentane Klimaveränderung zu verdanken. Auf der anderen Seite hat
10427			die Zunahme der Treibhausgase eine Erhöhung des Reflektionsvermögens
10428			der Atmosphäre zur Folge, welches dazu führt, daß ein Teil der
10429			Sonnenenergie zur Sonne zurückreflektiert wird. Dies heizt wiederum
10430			die Sonnenflecken auf und verkürzt deren Zyklus. All dies wird sich in

11018			Subject: Re: system() question
11019
11020			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
11021			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
11022			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
11023			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
11024			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
11025			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
11026			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
11027			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
11028			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
11029			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
11030			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
11031			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
11032			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
11033			humiliating for me!)
11034
11035			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
11036			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
11037			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
11038			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
11039			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
11040			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
11041			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
11042			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
11043			really knows the answer.
11044
11045			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
11046			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
11047			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
11048			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
11049
11050			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
11051			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
11052			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
11053			for that.
11054
11055			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
11056			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
11057			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
11058			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
11059			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
11060			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
11061			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
11062
11063			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
11064
11065			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
11066			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
11067			something for free.''
11068
11069			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
11070
11071			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
11072			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
11073
11074			(Good question.)
11075
11076			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
11077			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
11078			once I have run it.''
11079			(Good question.)
11080
11081			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
11082
11083			(Good question.)
11084
11085			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11086			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11087			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11088			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11089			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11090
11091			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11092			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11093			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11094			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11095			comp.lang.perl?
11096			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11097			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11098			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11099			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11100			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11101			in comp.lang.perl?
11102
11103			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11104			you my rate card.
11105
11106			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11107			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11108			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11109			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11110			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11111			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11112			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11113			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11114			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11115			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11116
11117			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11118			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11119			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11120			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11121			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11122			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11123			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11124			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11125			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11126			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11127			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11128			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11129			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11130			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11131			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11132			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11133
11134			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11135			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11136			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11137			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11138			someone will. Maybe I will.
11139
11140			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11141			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11142			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11143			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11144			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11145			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11146			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11147			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11148
11149			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11150			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11151			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11152			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11153			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11154			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11155			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11156			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11157			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11158			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11159			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11160			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11161			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11162			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11163
11164			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11165			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11166			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11167			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11168
11169			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11170
11171			`I want to accomplish X.
11172
11173			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11174
11175			...
11176
11177			But instead it does Y.
11178
11179			Why is that?''
11180
11181			This one is also pretty good:
11182
11183			`I want to accomplish X.
11184			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11185
11186			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11187			because of Z.
11188
11189			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11190
11191			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11192			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11193
11194
11195			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.

11258	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11259			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11260			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11261			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11262	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11263	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11264			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11265			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11266			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11267	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11268	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11269			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11270	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11271			nicht. ;)
11272
11273	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11274			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11275			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11276	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11277			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11278	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11279	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11280
11281	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11282			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11283	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11284	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder
11285	root	1.1	wenn etwas nicht ist, das ist.
11286
11287	root	1.388	Von der Unfähigkeit des Menschen, sich einen unbegrenzten aber endlichen
11288	root	1.1	Raum (oder wie auch immer der Weltraum nun aussieht) vorzustellen auf die

11290			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11291	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an
11292	root	1.388	sich wird nicht in Frage gestellt dadurch, daß man sich etwas - egal was -
11293	root	1.1	nicht vorstellen kann. Er verwechselt die Begriffe "unlogisch" und

11355			between these:
11356
11357			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11358			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11359
11360			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11361			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11362			;#", and the print gets executed!
11363
11364			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11365			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11366			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11367			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

11709	root	1.1	In Germany, where typeface design has always been a significant part of
11710			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
11711			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11712			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11713			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11714			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11715			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11716			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11717			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11718			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11719			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11720			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11721			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11722			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11723			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11724			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
