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

114	root	1.470	Dana Angluin's List of Proof Techniques
115
116			Proof by example:
117			The author gives only the case n=2 and suggests that it contains most
118			of the ideas of the general proof.
119
120			Proof by intimidation:
121			'Trivial.'
122
123			Proof by vigorous handwaving:
124			Works well in a classroom or seminar setting.
125
126			Proof by cumbersome notation:
127			Best done with access to at least four alphabets and special symbols.
128
129			Proof by exhaustion:
130			An issue or two of a journal devoted to your proof is useful.
131
132			Proof by omission:
133			'The reader may easily supply the details.'
134			'The other 253 cases are analogous.'
135			'...'
136
137			Proof by obfuscation:
138			A long plotless sequence of true and/or meaningless syntactically
139			related statements.
140
141			Proof by wishful citation:
142			The author cites the negation, converse, or generalization of a theorem
143			from the literature to support his claims.
144
145			Proof by funding:
146			How could three different government agencies be wrong?
147
148			Proof by eminent authority:
149			'I saw Karp in the elevator and he said it was probably NP-complete.'
150
151			Proof by personal communication:
152			'Eight-dimensional colored cycle stripping is NP-complete' [Karp,
153			personal commmunication].
154
155			Proof by reduction to the wrong problem:
156			'To see that infinite-dimensional colored cycle stripping is decidable,
157			we reduce it to the halting problem.'
158
159			Proof by reference to inaccessible literature:
160			The author cites a simple corollary of a theorem to be found in a
161			privately circulated memoir of the Slovenian Philological Society,
162			1883.
163
164			Proof by importance:
165			A large body of useful consequences all follow from the proposition in question.
166
167			Proof by accumulated evidence:
168			Long and diligent search has not revealed a counterexample.
169
170			Proof by cosmology:
171			The negation of the proposition is unimaginable or meaningless. Popular
172			for proofs of the existence of God.
173
174			Proof by mutual reference:
175			In reference A, Theorem 5 is said to follow from Theorem 3 in reference
176			B, which is shown to follow from Corollary 6.2 in reference C, which is
177			an easy consequence of Theorem 5 in reference A.
178
179			Proof by meta-proof:
180			A method is given to construct the desired proof. The correctness of
181			the method is proved by any of these techniques.
182
183			Proof by picture:
184			A more convincing form of proof by example. Combines well with proof by omission.
185
186			Proof by vehement assertion:
187			It is useful to have some kind of authority relation to the audience.
188
189			Proof by ghost reference:
190			Nothing even remotely resembling the cited theorem appears in the reference given.
191
192			Proof by forward reference:
193			Reference is usually to a forthcoming paper of the author, which is
194			often not as forthcoming as at first.
195
196			Proof by semantic shift:
197			Some standard but inconvenient definitions are changed for the
198			statement of the result.
199
200			Proof by appeal to intuition:
201			Cloud-shaped drawings frequently help here.
202
203			Proof by elimination of the counterexample:
204			'Assume for the moment that the hypothesis is true. Now, let's
205			suppose we find a counterexample. So what? QED.' (from Don Woods
206			<DON@SU-AI.ARPA>)

228			The Wayland "reference implementation" is a small set of libraries that
229			can be used to build a compositor or a client application. These libraries
230			currently have hard dependencies on Linux kernel APIs like epoll. In

232			patches haven't been accepted upstream. Wayland is written with the
233			assumption of Linux to the extent that every client application tends to
234			#include <linux/input.h> because Wayland's designers didn't see the need
235			to define a OS-neutral way to get mouse button IDs.

239	root	1.468	As best I can tell (from the long and unsatisfactory thread I pursed on

242
243			1. none of the key developers have the faintest idea what Color or Color

252			Wayland is more like they created ip but named the command ifconfig, then
253			told you to go fix your scripts.
254
255			If the Wayland developers had sense, they would have carefully considered
256			how to make it a seemless transition for developers. Instead, they decided
257			they were the ultimate authority on software engineering and screw

681
682			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
683			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
684
685			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
686			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
687			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
688			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
689			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
690
691			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
692			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
693			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
694			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
695			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
696			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
697			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
698			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
699			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
700
701			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
702			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
703			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
704			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
705			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
706			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
707			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
708			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
709			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
710			maintainer.

1613			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1614			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1615			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1616			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1617
1618			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1619			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1620			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1621			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1622			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1623			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)

1626
1627			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1628			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1629			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1630			from fascism period.
1631
1632			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1633			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1634			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1635			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1636			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1637			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1638			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1639			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1640			SIAE.
1641
1642			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1643			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1644			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1645			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1646			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1647			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1656			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1657			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1658			western country.
1659
1660			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1661			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1662			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1663			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1664			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1665			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved

1733
1734			Hi
1735
1736			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1737			someone here can advise me.
1738
1739			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1740			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1741			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1742			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1743			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1744
1745			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1746			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1747			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1748			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1749			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

2036			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
2037			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
2038			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
2039			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
2040			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
2041			es nicht.
2042
2043			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
2044			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
2045			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
2046			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
2047			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
2048			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
2049
2050			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
2051			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
2052			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
2053			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
2054			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
2055			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
2056			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
2057			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
2058			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
2059			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
2060			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
2061			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
2062			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
2063			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
2064
2065			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
2066			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
2067			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
2068			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
2069			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
2070			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
2071			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
2072
2073			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
2074			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
2075			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
2076			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
2077			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
2078			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
2079			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
2080			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
2081			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
2082			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
2083			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
2084			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
2085			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
2086			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
2087			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
2088			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
2089			alternativ' Idioten!
2090
2091			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
2092			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
2093			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
2094			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
2095			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
2096			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
2097			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
2098			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
2099			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
2100			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
2101			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
2102			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
2103			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
2104			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
2105
2106			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will

2111
2112			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
2113			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
2114			Dinge zu sagen:
2115
2116			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
2117
2118			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
2119			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
2120			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
2121			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
2122			anfange.
2123
2124			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
2125			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
2126			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
2127			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
2128			dieser verdammten schule!
2129
2130			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
2131			die Welt zu bieten hat!
2132
2133			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
2134
2135			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
2136			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
2137			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
2138			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
2139			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
2140			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
2141			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
2142			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
2143			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
2144			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
2145
2146			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
2147			Einschulung.
2148
2149			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
2150			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
2151			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
2152			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
2153			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
2154			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
2155			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
2156			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
2157			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
2158			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!
2159
2160			WERDET ENDLICH WACH - GEHT AUF DIE STRASSE - DAS HAT IN DEUTSCHLAND
2161			SCHONMAL FUNKTIONIERT!
2162
2163			Nach meiner Tat werden wieder irgendwelche fetten Politiker dumme
2164			Sprüche klopfen wie "Wir halten nun alle zusammen" oder "Wir
2165			müssen gemeinsam versuchen dies durchzustehen". Doch das machen
2166			sie nur um Aufmerksmakeit zu bekommen, um sich selbst als die Lösung
2167			zu präsentieren. Auf der GSS war es genauso... niemals lässt
2168			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn
2169			Theater-aufführungen sind, dann steht sie als erste mit einem breiten
2170			Grinsen auf der Bühne und präsentiert sich der Masse!
2171
2172			Nazis, HipHoper, Türken, Staat, Staatsdiener, Gläubige... einfach alle
2173			sind zum kotzen und müssen vernichtet werden! (Den begriff "Türken"
2174			benutze ich für alle HipHopMuchels und Kleingangster; Sie kommen nach
2175			Deutschland weil die Bedingungen bei ihnen zu hause zu schlecht sind,
2176			weil Krieg ist... und dann kommen Sie nach Deutschland, dem Sozialamt der
2177			Welt, und lassne hier die Sau raus. Sie sollten alle vergast werden! Keine
2178			Juden, keine Neger, keine Holländer, aber Muchels! ICH BIN KEIN SCHEISS
2179			NAZI) Ich hasse euch und eure Art! Ihr müsst alle sterben!
2180
2181			Seit meinem 6. Lebensjahr wurde ich von euch allen verarscht! Nun müsst
2182			ihr dafür bezahlen!
2183
2184			Weil ich weiss das die Fascholizei meine Videos, Schulhefte, Tagebücher,
2185			einfach alles, nicht veröffentlichen will, habe ich das selbst in die
2186			Hand genommen.
2187
2188			Als letztes möchte ich den Menschen die mir was bedeuten, oder die jemals
2189			gut zu mir waren, danken, und mich für all dies Entschuldigen!

2446			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2447			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2448			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2449			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2450			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2451			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2452			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2453			companies want to own your computer.
2454
2455			Some examples:
2456
2457			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2458			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2459			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2460			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2461			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2462			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2463			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2464			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2465			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2466	root	1.432
2467	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2468			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2469			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2470			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2471			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2472
2473			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2474			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2475			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2476			from Microsoft? You can't.
2477
2478			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2479			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2480			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2481			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2482			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2483			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2484			adversely affect its business partners.
2485
2486			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2487			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2488			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2489			about your behavior.
2490
2491			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2492			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2493			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2494			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2495			presumed infractions.
2496
2497			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2498			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2499			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2500
2501			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2502			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2503			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2504			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2505			user's device against him.
2506			[...]
2507			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2508			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2509			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2510			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2511			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2512			back-room marketing deals.

2689			By Bertrand Russell
2690
2691			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2692			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2693			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2694			might be set forth as follows:
2695
2696			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2697
2698			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2699			evidence is sure to come to light.
2700
2701			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2702
2703			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2704			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2705			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2706
2707			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2708			contrary authorities to be found.
2709
2710			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2711			do the opinions will suppress you.
2712
2713			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2714			was once eccentric.
2715
2716			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2717			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2718			agreement than the latter.
2719
2720			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2721			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2722
2723			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2724			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
2725
2726			"A Liberal Decalogue" is from The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell,

3567			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3568			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be

3570			dates in bars but women laugh at you.

3575			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3576			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3577			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3578			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3579			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3580			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3581			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.

3713			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3714
3715			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3716			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3717			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3718			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3719			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3720			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3721			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3722			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3723			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3724			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3725			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3726			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3727			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3728			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3729			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3730			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3731			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3732			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3733			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3734			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3735			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3736			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3737			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3738			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3739
3740			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3741			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3742			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3743			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3744			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3745
3746			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3747			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3748			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3749			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3750			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3751			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3752			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3753			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3754			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3755			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3756			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3757
3758			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3759			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3760			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3761			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3762			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3763			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3764			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3765			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3766			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3767			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3768			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3769			sovereign nation.

3837
3838			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3839
3840			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3841			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3842			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3843			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3844			explanation of this.
3845
3846			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3847
3848			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3849			which explains why the hammer falls.
3850
3851			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3852			how a population's genome can change over time.

3861			acceleration.
3862
3863			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3864			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3865			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3866			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3867			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3868			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3869			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3870			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be

4031			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
4032
4033			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
4034			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
4035			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
4036			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
4037			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
4038			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
4039			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
4040			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
4041			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
4042			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
4043			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
4044			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
4045			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
4046			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
4047
4048			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
4049			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
4050			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
4051			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
4052			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
4053			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
4054			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

5100			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
5101			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
5102			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
5103			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
5104			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
5105			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
5106			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
5107			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
5108			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
5109			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
5110			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
5111			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
5112			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
5113			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
5114			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting

5436	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5437			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5438			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5439			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5440			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5441			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5442			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5443
5444			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5445			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5446			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5447			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5448			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5449			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5450			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5451			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5452			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5453			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5454
5455			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5456			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5457			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5458			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5662			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5663			last until February 16th 2003.
5664
5665			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5666			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5667			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5668			end.
5669
5670			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5671
5672			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5673			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5674			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5675			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5676			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5677			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5678			take place on October 27th.
5679
5680			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5681			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5682			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5683			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5684			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5685			the clock)...

5869			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs

5871			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5872			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5873			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5874			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5875			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5876			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5877			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5878			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5879			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

6175			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
6176			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
6177			of for Windows desktop systems."
6178			[...]
6179			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
6180			months before Microsoft released its patch.
6181			[...]
6182			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
6183			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
6184			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
6185			turned on by default.
6186			[...]
6187			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
6188			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
6189			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
6190			[...]
6191			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
6192			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
6193			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
6194			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
6195			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
6196			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
6197			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
6198			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
6199			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

6395			prior systems. Buffer overflow has been one of the attacks frequently used
6396			on the Internet. We have gone through all code and, in an automated way,
6397			found places where there could be buffer overflow, and those have been
6398			removed in Windows XP.
6399
6400			We have also turned off by default a whole set of things so that users are

7885
7886			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7887			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7888			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7889			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7890			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7891			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7892			do the right thing.
7893
7894			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7895			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7896			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7897			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7898			and they have to fix it.

9340			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
9341			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
9342			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
9343			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
9344			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
9345			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
9346			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
9347			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
9348			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
9349			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
9350			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
9351			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
9352			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
9353			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
9354			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
9355			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
9356			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
9357			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
9358			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
9359			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
9360			work.
9361			[...]
9362			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
9363			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
9364			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
9365			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
9366			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
9367			search generically - then it has some potential.

9570			I sit behind an NT dual P2/400 256MB for too many hours each day. It is
9571			"slow". One of my (fun) tasks is CD mastering. When i'm loading a 500MB
9572			wav file into the editor, the machine goes useless for two minutes while
9573			loading the wave file. Basically its just reading the file and writing it
9574			to swap. The CPU is at 5%. No Alt-Tab between apps during that time. No
9575			chance of putting the mouse over a button (too many dropped ticks). The
9576			NT kernel is just sitting waiting for I/O completions.

10020			\| Other languages, notably C++, permit it. \|
10021			+------------------------------------------+
10022
10023			This one is hardly persuasive. Many languages do innumerable things
10024			that Perl does not do. Just for example, take:
10025
10026			* Csh reparses and re-evals interpolated strings, allowing something
10027			like C<$cmd $var> to do interesting things.
10028			* The Fortran lexer (as it were), having no need of white space to
10029			infer tokens, allows C<DO I=1.10> and C<DO I=1,10> to coexist in an
10030			interesting way.
10031			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
10032			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
10033			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do
10034			interesting things.
10035			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that
10036			language, allowing parameterized meta-classes to do interesting
10037			things.

11246			At least with the IDE DVD drive that I have, plugging it directly
11247			into an IDE port and using the regular Linux ide-cd driver works just fine
11248			for reading [...] CD and the [not] copy protected sections of the DVD's.
11249
11250			There is a protocol that the hardware decoder boards use to
11251			tell the DVD drive that they are a licensed implementation and should
11252			be allowed to read the copy protected sectors as well. I have been
11253			told that this protocol can be done entirely in software with a
11254			standard IDE port. Hopefully, somebody will reverse engineer this and

11370			Subject: Re: system() question
11371
11372			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
11373			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
11374			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
11375			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
11376			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
11377			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
11378			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
11379			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
11380			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
11381			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
11382			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
11383			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
11384			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
11385			humiliating for me!)
11386
11387			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
11388			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
11389			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
11390			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
11391			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
11392			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
11393			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
11394			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
11395			really knows the answer.
11396
11397			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
11398			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
11399			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
11400			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
11401
11402			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
11403			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
11404			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
11405			for that.
11406
11407			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
11408			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
11409			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
11410			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
11411			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
11412			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
11413			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
11414
11415			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
11416
11417			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
11418			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
11419			something for free.''
11420
11421			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
11422
11423			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
11424			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
11425
11426			(Good question.)
11427
11428			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
11429			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
11430			once I have run it.''
11431			(Good question.)
11432
11433			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
11434
11435			(Good question.)
11436
11437			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11438			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11439			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11440			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11441			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11442
11443			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11444			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11445			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11446			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11447			comp.lang.perl?
11448			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11449			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11450			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11451			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11452			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11453			in comp.lang.perl?
11454
11455			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11456			you my rate card.
11457
11458			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11459			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11460			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11461			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11462			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11463			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11464			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11465			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11466			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11467			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11468
11469			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11470			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11471			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11472			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11473			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11474			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11475			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11476			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11477			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11478			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11479			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11480			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11481			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11482			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11483			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11484			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11485
11486			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11487			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11488			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11489			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11490			someone will. Maybe I will.
11491
11492			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11493			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11494			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11495			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11496			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11497			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11498			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11499			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11500
11501			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11502			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11503			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11504			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11505			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11506			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11507			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11508			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11509			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11510			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11511			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11512			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11513			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11514			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11515
11516			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11517			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11518			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11519			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11520
11521			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11522
11523			`I want to accomplish X.
11524
11525			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11526
11527			...
11528
11529			But instead it does Y.
11530
11531			Why is that?''
11532
11533			This one is also pretty good:
11534
11535			`I want to accomplish X.
11536			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11537
11538			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11539			because of Z.
11540
11541			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11542
11543			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11544			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11545
11546
11547			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11548			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11613			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine

11701			over from other systems put walls between the user and Unix, and the power

11706	root	1.1	Perl is incredibly difficult to parse. For example, what's the difference
11707			between these:
11708
11709			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11710			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11711
11712			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11713			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11714			;#", and the print gets executed!
11715
11716			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11717			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11718			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11719			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11720

12061	root	1.1	In Germany, where typeface design has always been a significant part of
12062			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
12063			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
12064			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
12065			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
12066			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
12067			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
12068			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
12069			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
12070			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
12071			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
12072			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
12073			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
12074			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
12075			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
12076			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
