14	root	1.470	Dana Angluin's List of Proof Techniques
15
16			Proof by example:
17			The author gives only the case n=2 and suggests that it contains most
18			of the ideas of the general proof.
19
20			Proof by intimidation:
21			'Trivial.'
22
23			Proof by vigorous handwaving:
24			Works well in a classroom or seminar setting.
25
26			Proof by cumbersome notation:
27			Best done with access to at least four alphabets and special symbols.
28
29			Proof by exhaustion:
30			An issue or two of a journal devoted to your proof is useful.
31
32			Proof by omission:
33			'The reader may easily supply the details.'
34			'The other 253 cases are analogous.'
35			'...'
36
37			Proof by obfuscation:
38			A long plotless sequence of true and/or meaningless syntactically
39			related statements.
40
41			Proof by wishful citation:
42			The author cites the negation, converse, or generalization of a theorem
43			from the literature to support his claims.
44
45			Proof by funding:
46			How could three different government agencies be wrong?
47
48			Proof by eminent authority:
49			'I saw Karp in the elevator and he said it was probably NP-complete.'
50
51			Proof by personal communication:
52			'Eight-dimensional colored cycle stripping is NP-complete' [Karp,
53			personal commmunication].
54
55			Proof by reduction to the wrong problem:
56			'To see that infinite-dimensional colored cycle stripping is decidable,
57			we reduce it to the halting problem.'
58
59			Proof by reference to inaccessible literature:
60			The author cites a simple corollary of a theorem to be found in a
61			privately circulated memoir of the Slovenian Philological Society,
62			1883.
63
64			Proof by importance:
65			A large body of useful consequences all follow from the proposition in question.
66
67			Proof by accumulated evidence:
68			Long and diligent search has not revealed a counterexample.
69
70			Proof by cosmology:
71			The negation of the proposition is unimaginable or meaningless. Popular
72			for proofs of the existence of God.
73
74			Proof by mutual reference:
75			In reference A, Theorem 5 is said to follow from Theorem 3 in reference
76			B, which is shown to follow from Corollary 6.2 in reference C, which is
77			an easy consequence of Theorem 5 in reference A.
78
79			Proof by meta-proof:
80			A method is given to construct the desired proof. The correctness of
81			the method is proved by any of these techniques.
82
83			Proof by picture:
84			A more convincing form of proof by example. Combines well with proof by omission.
85
86			Proof by vehement assertion:
87			It is useful to have some kind of authority relation to the audience.
88
89			Proof by ghost reference:
90			Nothing even remotely resembling the cited theorem appears in the reference given.
91
92			Proof by forward reference:
93			Reference is usually to a forthcoming paper of the author, which is
94			often not as forthcoming as at first.
95
96			Proof by semantic shift:
97			Some standard but inconvenient definitions are changed for the
98			statement of the result.
99
100			Proof by appeal to intuition:
101			Cloud-shaped drawings frequently help here.
102
103			Proof by elimination of the counterexample:
104			'Assume for the moment that the hypothesis is true. Now, let's
105			suppose we find a counterexample. So what? QED.' (from Don Woods
106			<DON@SU-AI.ARPA>)

128			The Wayland "reference implementation" is a small set of libraries that
129			can be used to build a compositor or a client application. These libraries
130			currently have hard dependencies on Linux kernel APIs like epoll. In
131			pkgsrc we've patched the libraries to add kqueue(2) support, but the
132			patches haven't been accepted upstream. Wayland is written with the
133			assumption of Linux to the extent that every client application tends to
134			#include <linux/input.h> because Wayland's designers didn't see the need
135			to define a OS-neutral way to get mouse button IDs.

139	root	1.468	As best I can tell (from the long and unsatisfactory thread I pursed on
140			the Wayland Developers list some little time ago), the core issue with
141			Wayland and Color is social, not technical:
142
143			1. none of the key developers have the faintest idea what Color or Color
144			Management is, and (worse):
145
146			2. they have no idea why it would be at all important.

150			> (isn't it the case with ifconfig vs. ip already?)
151
152			Wayland is more like they created ip but named the command ifconfig, then
153			told you to go fix your scripts.
154
155			If the Wayland developers had sense, they would have carefully considered
156			how to make it a seemless transition for developers. Instead, they decided
157			they were the ultimate authority on software engineering and screw
158			developers, they are all doing it wrong anyways.

581
582			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
583			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
584
585			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
586			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
587			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
588			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
589			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
590
591			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
592			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
593			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
594			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
595			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
596			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
597			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
598			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
599			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
600
601			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
602			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
603			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
604			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
605			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
606			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
607			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
608			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
609			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
610			maintainer.

1513			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1514			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1515			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1516			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1517
1518			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1519			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1520			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1521			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1522			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1523			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1524
1525			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1526
1527			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1528			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1529			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1530			from fascism period.
1531
1532			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1533			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1534			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1535			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1536			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1537			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1538			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1539			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1540			SIAE.
1541
1542			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1543			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1544			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1545			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1546			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1547			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing
1548			your petition (and you need at least 500, and with a REAL signs, not
1549			electronic ones

1552
1553			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1554			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1555			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1556			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1557			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1558			western country.
1559
1560			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1561			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1562			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1563			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1564			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1565			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1566			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1567			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
1568			also the governments of "center-left".

1631			Newsgroups: comp.lang.c
1632			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1633
1634			Hi
1635
1636			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1637			someone here can advise me.
1638
1639			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1640			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1641			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1642			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1643			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1644
1645			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1646			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1647			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1648			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1649			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1650			corresponding thing in C?
1651

1936			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1937			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1938			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1939			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1940			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1941			es nicht.
1942
1943			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1944			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1945			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1946			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1947			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1948			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1949
1950			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1951			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1952			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1953			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1954			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1955			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1956			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1957			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1958			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1959			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1960			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1961			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1962			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1963			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1964
1965			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1966			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1967			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1968			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1969			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1970			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1971			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1972
1973			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1974			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1975			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1976			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1977			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1978			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1979			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1980			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1981			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1982			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1983			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1984			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1985			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1986			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1987			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1988			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1989			alternativ' Idioten!
1990
1991			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1992			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1993			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1994			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1995			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1996			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1997			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1998			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1999			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
2000			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
2001			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
2002			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
2003			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
2004			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
2005

2014			Dinge zu sagen:
2015
2016			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
2017
2018			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
2019			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
2020			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
2021			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
2022			anfange.
2023
2024			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
2025			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
2026			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
2027			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
2028			dieser verdammten schule!

2038			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
2039			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
2040			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
2041			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
2042			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der

2044			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!

2049			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
2050			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der

2052			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
2053			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
2054			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
2055			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
2056			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine

2345			[CRYPTO-GRAM 2006-03-15]
2346			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2347			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2348			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2349			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2350			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2351			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2352			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2353			companies want to own your computer.
2354
2355			Some examples:
2356
2357			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2358			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2359			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2360			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2361			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2362			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2363			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2364			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2365			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2366	root	1.432
2367	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2368			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2369			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2370			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2371			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2372
2373			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2374			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2375			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2376			from Microsoft? You can't.
2377
2378			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2379			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2380			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2381			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2382			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2383			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2384			adversely affect its business partners.
2385
2386			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2387			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2388			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2389			about your behavior.
2390
2391			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2392			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2393			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2394			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2395			presumed infractions.
2396
2397			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2398			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2399			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2400
2401			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2402			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2403			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2404			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2405			user's device against him.
2406			[...]
2407			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2408			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2409			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2410			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2411			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2412			back-room marketing deals.

2589			By Bertrand Russell
2590
2591			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2592			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2593			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2594			might be set forth as follows:
2595
2596			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2597
2598			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2599			evidence is sure to come to light.
2600
2601			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2602
2603			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2604			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2605			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2606
2607			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2608			contrary authorities to be found.
2609
2610			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2611			do the opinions will suppress you.
2612
2613			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2614			was once eccentric.
2615
2616			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2617			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2618			agreement than the latter.
2619
2620			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2621			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2622
2623			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2624			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

3459
3460			1. Windows
3461
3462			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother
3463			would let you ride a motorbike. You tell your friends you're pulling
3464			in $50,000 a year and $2,000 a month "playing the stock market" but
3465			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from
3466			MSFT havn't been good in years. Your non computing friends all turn
3467			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3468			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
3469			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
3470			dates in bars but women laugh at you.

3474			You think you're so cool you hurt. You have mirrors on every wall
3475			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3476			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3477			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3478			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3479			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3480			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3481			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.
3482

3484
3485			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have

3497			houses and talk about the eventual overthrow of evil corporations
3498			such as Microsoft and Starbucks. Like the Linspire user, you have
3499			very little real knowlege when it comes to computers but you would

3519			matchsticks. You've cleared some land but don't know what to do next
3520			because you havn't read the books you've got, so you've posted to
3521			alt.arborists.newbie asking for help. It's been three days so far

3613			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3614
3615			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3616			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3617			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3618			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3619			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3620			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3621			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3622			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3623			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3624			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3625			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3626			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3627			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3628			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3629			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3630			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3631			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3632			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3633			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3634			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3635			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3636			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3637			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3638			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3639
3640			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3641			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3642			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3643			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3644			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3645
3646			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3647			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3648			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3649			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3650			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3651			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3652			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3653			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3654			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3655			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3656			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3657
3658			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3659			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3660			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3661			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3662			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3663			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3664			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3665			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3666			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3667			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3668			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3669			sovereign nation.
3670
3671			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3672			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3673			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3674			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3675			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3676			CSPAN, don't post here.

3736	root	1.265	Fact: Something that you observe to be true.
3737
3738			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3739
3740			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3741			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3742			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3743			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3744			explanation of this.
3745
3746			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3747
3748			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3749			which explains why the hammer falls.
3750
3751			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3752			how a population's genome can change over time.
3753
3754	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3755			mathematical relationship between two values.
3756	root	1.265
3757			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3758			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3759
3760			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3761			acceleration.
3762
3763			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3764			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3765			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3766			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3767			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3768			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3769			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3770			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3771			false.

3930	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3931			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3932
3933			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3934			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3935			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3936			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3937			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3938			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3939			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3940			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3941			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3942			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3943			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3944			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3945			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3946			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3947
3948			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3949			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3950			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3951			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3952			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3953			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3954			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4093			This is a movie I would not recommend even to my worst enemy. It is a
4094			horrible picture, containing too much random violence and rape committed
4095			by four no-goods in white pyjamas, than is good for anyone too watch.
4096
4097			The only fun moment is when the main character, being brainwashed into a
4098			non-violent state of mind, is being bashed by his former friends.
4099
4100			There may be some "hidden message" in this movie about society and blah,
4101			but the message (not too well brought) is completely drowned.
4102
4103			It is not even a waste of your time, it is worse than that. Avoid at all
4104			cost.

5000			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
5001			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
5002			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
5003			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
5004			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
5005			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
5006			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
5007			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
5008			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
5009			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
5010			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
5011			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
5012			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
5013			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
5014			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
5015			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
5016			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

5336	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5337			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5338			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5339			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5340			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5341			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5342			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5343
5344			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5345			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5346			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5347			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5348			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5349			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5350			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5351			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5352			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5353			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5354
5355			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5356			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5357			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5358			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5573			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5574			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5575			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5576			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5577			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5578			take place on October 27th.
5579
5580			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5581			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5582			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5583			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5584			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5585			the clock)...

5768			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5769			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5770			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5771			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5772			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5773			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5774			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5775			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5776			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5777			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5778			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5779			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

6072			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
6073
6074			[...]
6075			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
6076			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
6077			of for Windows desktop systems."
6078			[...]
6079			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
6080			months before Microsoft released its patch.
6081			[...]
6082			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
6083			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
6084			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
6085			turned on by default.
6086			[...]
6087			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
6088			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
6089			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
6090			[...]
6091			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
6092			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
6093			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
6094			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
6095			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
6096			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
6097			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
6098			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
6099			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

7786			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to

7788			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7793
7794			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7795			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7796			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7797			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication

8723			Since it is very difficult to find wood on Antarctica, typically
8724			penguins are used to light the fire (due to their fat, they burn well).
8725			I also woudln't use any water, the penguins are fried fine in their own
8726			fat (you can use old fat to heat up the pot for another penguin).
8727
8728			Note that most people in Antarctica have been seal-slayers and
8729			whale-killers, so they were rough people. Usually, they didn't bother
8730			with killing the penguins before setting them on fire. I'm glad this

9239
9240			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
9241			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
9242			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
9243			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
9244			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
9245			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
9246			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
9247			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
9248			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
9249			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
9250			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
9251			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
9252			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
9253			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
9254			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
9255			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
9256			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
9257			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
9258			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
9259			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
9260			work.
9261			[...]
9262			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
9263			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
9264			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
9265			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
9266			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
9267			search generically - then it has some potential.
9268			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
9269			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
9270			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
9271			intellectual value whatsoever.

9394			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
9395			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by

9401			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
9402			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
9403			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge

9405			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic

9409			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale

11270			Subject: Re: system() question
11271
11272			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
11273			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
11274			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
11275			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
11276			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
11277			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
11278			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
11279			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
11280			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
11281			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
11282			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
11283			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
11284			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
11285			humiliating for me!)
11286
11287			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
11288			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
11289			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
11290			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
11291			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
11292			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
11293			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
11294			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
11295			really knows the answer.
11296
11297			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
11298			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
11299			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
11300			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
11301
11302			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
11303			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
11304			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
11305			for that.
11306
11307			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
11308			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
11309			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
11310			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
11311			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
11312			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
11313			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
11314
11315			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
11316
11317			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
11318			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
11319			something for free.''
11320
11321			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
11322
11323			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
11324			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
11325
11326			(Good question.)
11327
11328			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
11329			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
11330			once I have run it.''
11331			(Good question.)
11332
11333			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
11334
11335			(Good question.)
11336
11337			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11338			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11339			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11340			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11341			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11342
11343			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11344			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11345			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11346			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11347			comp.lang.perl?
11348			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11349			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11350			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11351			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11352			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11353			in comp.lang.perl?
11354
11355			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11356			you my rate card.
11357
11358			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11359			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11360			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11361			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11362			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11363			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11364			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11365			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11366			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11367			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11368
11369			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11370			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11371			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11372			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11373			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11374			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11375			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11376			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11377			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11378			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11379			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11380			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11381			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11382			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11383			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11384			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11385
11386			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11387			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11388			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11389			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11390			someone will. Maybe I will.
11391
11392			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11393			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11394			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11395			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11396			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11397			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11398			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11399			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11400
11401			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11402			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11403			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11404			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11405			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11406			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11407			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11408			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11409			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11410			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11411			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11412			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11413			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11414			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11415
11416			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11417			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11418			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11419			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11420
11421			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11422
11423			`I want to accomplish X.
11424
11425			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11426
11427			...
11428
11429			But instead it does Y.
11430
11431			Why is that?''
11432
11433			This one is also pretty good:
11434
11435			`I want to accomplish X.
11436			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11437
11438			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11439			because of Z.
11440
11441			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11442
11443			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11444			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11445
11446
11447			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11448			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11510	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11511			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11512			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11513			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11514	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11515	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11516			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11517			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11518			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11519	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11520	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11521			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11522	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11523			nicht. ;)
11524
11525	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11526			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11527			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11528	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11529			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11530	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11531	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11532
11533	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11534			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11535	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11536	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder

11542			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11543	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

11616			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with

11964			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11965			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11966			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11967			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11968			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11969			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original

11971			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11972			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in

11974			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11975			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
