15	root	1.479	Apparently "zork" was a nonsense word used at MIT for the current
16			uninstalled program in progress, and stuck. Just as this document uses
17			the term "Z-machine" for both the machine and its loaded program (which
18			is also sometimes called the "story file"), so ZIP (Zork Implementation
19			Program) was used to mean either the interpreter or the object code it
20			interpreted. Code was written in ZIL (Zork Implementation Language),
21			which was derived from MDL (informally called "muddle"), a particularly
22			unhelpful form of LISP. It was then compiled by ZILCH to assembly code
23			which was passed to ZAP to make the ZIP.

65			The IETF, obviously fearing irrelevance, hastily "discovered" that the

70			improvement rejected as "not in scope," "too late," or "no consensus," the
71			IETF can now claim relevance and victory by conceding practically every

96
97			Proof by example:
98			The author gives only the case n=2 and suggests that it contains most
99			of the ideas of the general proof.
100
101			Proof by intimidation:
102			'Trivial.'
103
104			Proof by vigorous handwaving:
105			Works well in a classroom or seminar setting.
106
107			Proof by cumbersome notation:
108			Best done with access to at least four alphabets and special symbols.
109
110			Proof by exhaustion:
111			An issue or two of a journal devoted to your proof is useful.
112
113			Proof by omission:
114			'The reader may easily supply the details.'
115			'The other 253 cases are analogous.'
116			'...'
117
118			Proof by obfuscation:
119			A long plotless sequence of true and/or meaningless syntactically
120			related statements.
121
122			Proof by wishful citation:
123			The author cites the negation, converse, or generalization of a theorem
124			from the literature to support his claims.
125
126			Proof by funding:
127			How could three different government agencies be wrong?
128
129			Proof by eminent authority:
130			'I saw Karp in the elevator and he said it was probably NP-complete.'
131
132			Proof by personal communication:
133			'Eight-dimensional colored cycle stripping is NP-complete' [Karp,
134			personal commmunication].
135
136			Proof by reduction to the wrong problem:
137			'To see that infinite-dimensional colored cycle stripping is decidable,
138			we reduce it to the halting problem.'
139
140			Proof by reference to inaccessible literature:
141			The author cites a simple corollary of a theorem to be found in a
142			privately circulated memoir of the Slovenian Philological Society,
143			1883.
144
145			Proof by importance:
146			A large body of useful consequences all follow from the proposition in question.
147
148			Proof by accumulated evidence:
149			Long and diligent search has not revealed a counterexample.
150
151			Proof by cosmology:
152			The negation of the proposition is unimaginable or meaningless. Popular
153			for proofs of the existence of God.
154
155			Proof by mutual reference:
156			In reference A, Theorem 5 is said to follow from Theorem 3 in reference
157			B, which is shown to follow from Corollary 6.2 in reference C, which is
158			an easy consequence of Theorem 5 in reference A.
159
160			Proof by meta-proof:
161			A method is given to construct the desired proof. The correctness of
162			the method is proved by any of these techniques.
163
164			Proof by picture:
165			A more convincing form of proof by example. Combines well with proof by omission.
166
167			Proof by vehement assertion:
168			It is useful to have some kind of authority relation to the audience.
169
170			Proof by ghost reference:
171			Nothing even remotely resembling the cited theorem appears in the reference given.
172
173			Proof by forward reference:
174			Reference is usually to a forthcoming paper of the author, which is
175			often not as forthcoming as at first.
176
177			Proof by semantic shift:
178			Some standard but inconvenient definitions are changed for the
179			statement of the result.
180
181			Proof by appeal to intuition:
182			Cloud-shaped drawings frequently help here.
183
184			Proof by elimination of the counterexample:
185			'Assume for the moment that the hypothesis is true. Now, let's
186			suppose we find a counterexample. So what? QED.' (from Don Woods
187			<DON@SU-AI.ARPA>)

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

220	root	1.468	As best I can tell (from the long and unsatisfactory thread I pursed on
221			the Wayland Developers list some little time ago), the core issue with
222			Wayland and Color is social, not technical:
223
224			1. none of the key developers have the faintest idea what Color or Color
225			Management is, and (worse):
226
227			2. they have no idea why it would be at all important.

232
233			Wayland is more like they created ip but named the command ifconfig, then
234			told you to go fix your scripts.
235
236			If the Wayland developers had sense, they would have carefully considered
237			how to make it a seemless transition for developers. Instead, they decided
238			they were the ultimate authority on software engineering and screw
239			developers, they are all doing it wrong anyways.

662
663			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
664			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
665
666			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
667			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
668			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
669			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
670			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
671
672			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
673			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
674			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
675			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
676			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
677			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
678			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
679			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
680			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
681
682			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
683			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
684			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
685			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
686			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
687			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
688			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
689			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
690			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
691			maintainer.

1594			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1595			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1596			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1597			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1598
1599			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1600			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1601			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1602			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1603			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1604			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1605
1606			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1607
1608			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1609			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1610			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1611			from fascism period.
1612
1613			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1614			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1615			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1616			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1617			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1618			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1619			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1620			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1621			SIAE.
1622
1623			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1624			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1625			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1626			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1627			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1628			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1634			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1635			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1636			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1637			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1638			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1639			western country.
1640
1641			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1642			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1643			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1644			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1645			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1646			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1647			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1648			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,

1714
1715			Hi
1716
1717			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1718			someone here can advise me.
1719
1720			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1721			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1722			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1723			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1724			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1725
1726			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1727			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1728			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1729			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1730			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

2017			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
2018			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
2019			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
2020			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
2021			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
2022			es nicht.
2023
2024			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
2025			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
2026			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
2027			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
2028			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
2029			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
2030
2031			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
2032			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
2033			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
2034			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
2035			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
2036			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
2037			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
2038			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
2039			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
2040			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
2041			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
2042			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
2043			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
2044			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
2045
2046			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
2047			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
2048			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
2049			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
2050			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
2051			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
2052			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
2053
2054			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
2055			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
2056			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
2057			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
2058			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
2059			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
2060			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
2061			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
2062			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
2063			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
2064			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
2065			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
2066			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
2067			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
2068			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
2069			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
2070			alternativ' Idioten!
2071
2072			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
2073			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
2074			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
2075			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
2076			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
2077			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
2078			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
2079			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
2080			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
2081			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
2082			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
2083			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
2084			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
2085			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
2086
2087			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
2088			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
2089			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

2091			Ich will R A C H E !
2092
2093			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
2094			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
2095			Dinge zu sagen:
2096
2097			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
2098
2099			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
2100			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
2101			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
2102			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
2103			anfange.
2104
2105			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
2106			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
2107			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
2108			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
2109			dieser verdammten schule!
2110
2111			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
2112			die Welt zu bieten hat!
2113
2114			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
2115
2116			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
2117			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
2118			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
2119			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
2120			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
2121			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
2122			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
2123			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
2124			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
2125			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
2126
2127			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
2128			Einschulung.
2129
2130			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
2131			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
2132			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
2133			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
2134			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
2135			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
2136			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
2137			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
2138			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
2139			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!
2140
2141			WERDET ENDLICH WACH - GEHT AUF DIE STRASSE - DAS HAT IN DEUTSCHLAND
2142			SCHONMAL FUNKTIONIERT!

2144			Nach meiner Tat werden wieder irgendwelche fetten Politiker dumme
2145			Sprüche klopfen wie "Wir halten nun alle zusammen" oder "Wir
2146			müssen gemeinsam versuchen dies durchzustehen". Doch das machen
2147			sie nur um Aufmerksmakeit zu bekommen, um sich selbst als die Lösung
2148			zu präsentieren. Auf der GSS war es genauso... niemals lässt
2149			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn
2150			Theater-aufführungen sind, dann steht sie als erste mit einem breiten
2151			Grinsen auf der Bühne und präsentiert sich der Masse!
2152
2153			Nazis, HipHoper, Türken, Staat, Staatsdiener, Gläubige... einfach alle
2154			sind zum kotzen und müssen vernichtet werden! (Den begriff "Türken"
2155			benutze ich für alle HipHopMuchels und Kleingangster; Sie kommen nach
2156			Deutschland weil die Bedingungen bei ihnen zu hause zu schlecht sind,
2157			weil Krieg ist... und dann kommen Sie nach Deutschland, dem Sozialamt der
2158			Welt, und lassne hier die Sau raus. Sie sollten alle vergast werden! Keine
2159			Juden, keine Neger, keine Holländer, aber Muchels! ICH BIN KEIN SCHEISS
2160			NAZI) Ich hasse euch und eure Art! Ihr müsst alle sterben!
2161
2162			Seit meinem 6. Lebensjahr wurde ich von euch allen verarscht! Nun müsst
2163			ihr dafür bezahlen!
2164
2165			Weil ich weiss das die Fascholizei meine Videos, Schulhefte, Tagebücher,
2166			einfach alles, nicht veröffentlichen will, habe ich das selbst in die
2167			Hand genommen.
2168
2169			Als letztes möchte ich den Menschen die mir was bedeuten, oder die jemals
2170			gut zu mir waren, danken, und mich für all dies Entschuldigen!

2427			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2428			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2429			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2430			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2431			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2432			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2433			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2434			companies want to own your computer.
2435
2436			Some examples:
2437
2438			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2439			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2440			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2441			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2442			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2443			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2444			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2445			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2446			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2447	root	1.432
2448	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2449			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2450			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2451			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2452			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2453
2454			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2455			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2456			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2457			from Microsoft? You can't.
2458
2459			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2460			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2461			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2462			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2463			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2464			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2465			adversely affect its business partners.
2466
2467			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2468			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2469			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2470			about your behavior.
2471
2472			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2473			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2474			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2475			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2476			presumed infractions.
2477
2478			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2479			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2480			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2481
2482			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2483			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2484			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2485			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2486			user's device against him.
2487			[...]
2488			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2489			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2490			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2491			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2492			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2493			back-room marketing deals.

2670			By Bertrand Russell
2671
2672			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2673			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2674			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2675			might be set forth as follows:
2676
2677			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2678
2679			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2680			evidence is sure to come to light.
2681
2682			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2683
2684			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2685			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2686			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2687
2688			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2689			contrary authorities to be found.
2690
2691			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2692			do the opinions will suppress you.
2693
2694			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2695			was once eccentric.
2696
2697			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2698			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2699			agreement than the latter.
2700
2701			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2702			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2703
2704			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2705			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
2706
2707			"A Liberal Decalogue" is from The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell,
2708			Vol. 3: 1944-1969, pp. 71-2.

3542
3543			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother

3545			in $50,000 a year and $2,000 a month "playing the stock market" but
3546			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from

3548			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3549			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
3550			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
3551			dates in bars but women laugh at you.
3552
3553			2. Apple
3554
3555			You think you're so cool you hurt. You have mirrors on every wall
3556			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3557			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3558			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3559			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3560			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3561			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3562			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.
3563
3564			3. Linspire
3565
3566			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have
3567			too much money. Computers baffle you, but you enjoy looking at

3577			knew it was for you. You meet with your friends in fair-trade coffee
3578			houses and talk about the eventual overthrow of evil corporations
3579			such as Microsoft and Starbucks. Like the Linspire user, you have
3580			very little real knowlege when it comes to computers but you would

3590			matchstick house will have an "optimised floorplan". They've tried
3591			to tell you that your house violates every known building code and
3592			law in your area, but you've ignored them so far because you can't

3600			matchsticks. You've cleared some land but don't know what to do next
3601			because you havn't read the books you've got, so you've posted to

3694			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3695
3696			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3697			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3698			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3699			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3700			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3701			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3702			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3703			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3704			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3705			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3706			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3707			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3708			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3709			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3710			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3711			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3712			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3713			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3714			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3715			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3716			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3717			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3718			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3719			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3720
3721			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3722			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3723			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3724			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3725			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3726
3727			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3728			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3729			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3730			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3731			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3732			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3733			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3734			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3735			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3736			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of

3818
3819			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3820
3821			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3822			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3823			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3824			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3825			explanation of this.
3826
3827			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3828
3829			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3830			which explains why the hammer falls.
3831
3832			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3833			how a population's genome can change over time.

3841			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3842			acceleration.
3843
3844			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3845			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3846			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3847			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3848			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3849			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3850			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3851			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be

4012			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
4013
4014			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
4015			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
4016			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
4017			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
4018			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
4019			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
4020			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
4021			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
4022			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
4023			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
4024			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
4025			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
4026			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
4027			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
4028
4029			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
4030			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
4031			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
4032			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
4033			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
4034			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
4035			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

5081			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
5082			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
5083			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
5084			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
5085			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
5086			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
5087			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
5088			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
5089			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
5090			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
5091			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
5092			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
5093			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
5094			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
5095			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
5096			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
5097			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

5417	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5418			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5419			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5420			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5421			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5422			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5423			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5424
5425			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5426			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5427			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5428			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5429			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5430			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5431			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5432			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5433			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5434			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5435
5436			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5437			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5438			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5439			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5643			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5644			last until February 16th 2003.
5645
5646			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5647			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5648			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5649			end.
5650
5651			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5652
5653			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5654			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5655			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5656			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5657			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5658			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5659			take place on October 27th.
5660
5661			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5662			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5663			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5664			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5665			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5666			the clock)...

5850			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs

5852			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5853			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5854			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5855			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5856			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5857			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5858			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5859			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5860			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

6154
6155			[...]
6156			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
6157			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
6158			of for Windows desktop systems."
6159			[...]
6160			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
6161			months before Microsoft released its patch.
6162			[...]
6163			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
6164			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
6165			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
6166			turned on by default.
6167			[...]
6168			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
6169			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
6170			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
6171			[...]
6172			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
6173			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
6174			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
6175			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
6176			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
6177			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
6178			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
6179			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
6180			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

6375			Windows XP is dramatically more secure than Windows 2000 or any of the
6376			prior systems. Buffer overflow has been one of the attacks frequently used
6377			on the Internet. We have gone through all code and, in an automated way,
6378			found places where there could be buffer overflow, and those have been
6379			removed in Windows XP.
6380
6381			We have also turned off by default a whole set of things so that users are
6382			configured in a minimalist kind of way, making them less vulnerable. We

6387			The result is that users can't make intelligent decisions on
6388			security. Here's one example: A few months ago, security researcher Niels
6389			Ferguson found a security flaw in Intel's HDCP Digital Video Encryption
6390			System, but withheld publication out of fear of being prosecuted under the

6392			they dismissed the break as "theoretical" and maintained that the system

7866
7867			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7868			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7869			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7870			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7871			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7872			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7873			do the right thing.
7874
7875			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7876			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7877			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7878			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7879			and they have to fix it.

9320
9321			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
9322			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
9323			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
9324			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
9325			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
9326			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
9327			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
9328			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
9329			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
9330			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
9331			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
9332			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
9333			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
9334			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
9335			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
9336			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
9337			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
9338			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
9339			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
9340			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
9341			work.
9342			[...]
9343			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
9344			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
9345			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
9346			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
9347			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
9348			search generically - then it has some potential.
9349			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
9350			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
9351			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no

9997			Jean-Louis provides four arguments in favor of the overloading of the
9998			logical && and \|\| operators. Here they are:
9999
10000			+------------------------------------------+
10001			\| Other languages, notably C++, permit it. \|
10002			+------------------------------------------+
10003
10004			This one is hardly persuasive. Many languages do innumerable things
10005			that Perl does not do. Just for example, take:
10006
10007			* Csh reparses and re-evals interpolated strings, allowing something
10008			like C<$cmd $var> to do interesting things.
10009			* The Fortran lexer (as it were), having no need of white space to
10010			infer tokens, allows C<DO I=1.10> and C<DO I=1,10> to coexist in an
10011			interesting way.
10012			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
10013			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
10014			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do
10015			interesting things.
10016			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that
10017			language, allowing parameterized meta-classes to do interesting
10018			things.

10849			let near a language-design project like that, too often "little languages",
10850			whether assemblers, tools, or C++, are designed by people who are unaware
10851			of, or give little thought to, the outright readability of code written in
10852			the language, in the sense that the basic semantics should be fairly obvious
10853			without the reader having to memorize lots of semantic information.
10854
10855			(In HPPA assembler's case, one glaring stupidity was the nullified branches,
10856			which have completely different semantics depending on whether the label
10857			being branched to happens to assemble to a negative or positive offset! A
10858			smarter design would have required the programmer to specify whether such a
10859			branch was a "forward" or "backward" branch explicitly, then the assembler
10860			and/or linker would complain if reality didn't match the programmer's
10861			specification. I've never looked into whether GNU's HPPA as fixes this

11350			Date: 09 Nov 1995 02:57:30 GMT
11351			Subject: Re: system() question
11352
11353			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
11354			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
11355			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
11356			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
11357			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
11358			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
11359			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
11360			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
11361			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
11362			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
11363			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
11364			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
11365			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
11366			humiliating for me!)
11367
11368			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
11369			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
11370			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
11371			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
11372			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
11373			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
11374			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
11375			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
11376			really knows the answer.
11377
11378			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
11379			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
11380			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
11381			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
11382
11383			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
11384			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
11385			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
11386			for that.
11387
11388			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
11389			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
11390			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
11391			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
11392			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
11393			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
11394			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
11395
11396			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
11397
11398			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
11399			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
11400			something for free.''
11401
11402			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
11403
11404			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
11405			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
11406
11407			(Good question.)
11408
11409			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
11410			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
11411			once I have run it.''
11412			(Good question.)
11413
11414			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
11415
11416			(Good question.)
11417
11418			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11419			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11420			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11421			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11422			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11423
11424			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11425			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11426			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11427			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11428			comp.lang.perl?
11429			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11430			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11431			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11432			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11433			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11434			in comp.lang.perl?
11435
11436			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11437			you my rate card.
11438
11439			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11440			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11441			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11442			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11443			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11444			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11445			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11446			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11447			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11448			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11449
11450			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11451			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11452			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11453			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11454			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11455			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11456			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11457			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11458			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11459			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11460			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11461			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11462			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11463			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11464			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11465			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11466
11467			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11468			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11469			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11470			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11471			someone will. Maybe I will.
11472
11473			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11474			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11475			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11476			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11477			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11478			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11479			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11480			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11481
11482			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11483			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11484			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11485			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11486			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11487			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11488			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11489			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11490			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11491			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11492			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11493			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11494			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11495			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11496
11497			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11498			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11499			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11500			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11501
11502			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11503
11504			`I want to accomplish X.
11505
11506			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11507
11508			...
11509
11510			But instead it does Y.
11511
11512			Why is that?''
11513
11514			This one is also pretty good:
11515
11516			`I want to accomplish X.
11517			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11518
11519			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11520			because of Z.
11521
11522			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11523
11524			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11525			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11526
11527
11528			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11529			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11592			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11593			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11594			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11595	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11596	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11597			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11598			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11599			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11600	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11601	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer

11604			nicht. ;)
11605
11606	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11607			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11608			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11609	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11610			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11611	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11612	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11613
11614	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11615			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11616	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom

11677			The Unix shell as a 4GL
11678
11679			Unix provides hundreds of programs that can be piped together to easily
11680			perform almost any function imaginable. Nothing comes close to providing the
11681			functions that come standard with Unix. Programs and philosophies carried
11682			over from other systems put walls between the user and Unix, and the power

11687	root	1.1	Perl is incredibly difficult to parse. For example, what's the difference
11688			between these:
11689
11690			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11691			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11692
11693			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11694			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11695			;#", and the print gets executed!
11696
11697			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11698			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11699			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11700			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11701
11702			Which led Larry to say at one point: "the only thing that can parse Perl is
11703			'perl'".

12035			crap anyway. Seems that Microsoft has invented something called TCP/IP and
12036			another really revolutionary concept called DNS that eliminates the
12037			netbios crap too. All that arping from browsers is going to go away.

12042	root	1.1	In Germany, where typeface design has always been a significant part of
12043			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
12044			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
12045			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
12046			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
12047			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
12048			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
12049			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
12050			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
12051			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
12052			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
12053			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
12054			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
12055			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
12056			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
12057			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
