12			# These were AT&T's official entries. The 5620 FAQ maintained by
13			# David Breneman <daveb@dgtl.com> has this to say:
14			#
15			# Actually, in the beginning was the Jerq, and the Jerq was white with a
16			# green face, and Locanthi and Pike looked upon the Jerq and said the Jerq
17			# was good. But lo, upon the horizon loomed a mighty management-type person
18			# (known now only by the initials VP) who said, the mighty Jerq must stay
19			# alone, and could not go forth into the world. So Locanthi and Pike put the
20			# Jerq to sleep, cloned its parts, and the Blit was brought forth unto the
21			# world. And the Jerq lived the rest of its days in research, but never
22			# strayed from those paths.
23			#
24			# In all seriousness, the Blit was originally known as the Jerq, but when
25			# it started to be shown outside of the halls of the Bell Labs Research
26			# organization, the management powers that be decided that the name could
27			# not remain. So it was renamed to be Blit. This was in late 1981.
28			#
29			# (The AT&T 5620 was the commercialized Blit. Its successors were the 630,
30			# 730, and 730+.)

48			US: Once a criminal, always a criminal, mark them as baddies for life. Jailtime is revenge. Europeans are naive hippies.
49			European: Make them understand what they did wrong, then help them to get back into normal society. Jailtime is education. US guys are stuck in stone age.

88			the term "Z-machine" for both the machine and its loaded program (which
89			is also sometimes called the "story file"), so ZIP (Zork Implementation
90			Program) was used to mean either the interpreter or the object code it
91			interpreted. Code was written in ZIL (Zork Implementation Language),
92			which was derived from MDL (informally called "muddle"), a particularly
93			unhelpful form of LISP. It was then compiled by ZILCH to assembly code
94			which was passed to ZAP to make the ZIP.

166	root	1.470	Dana Angluin's List of Proof Techniques
167
168			Proof by example:
169			The author gives only the case n=2 and suggests that it contains most
170			of the ideas of the general proof.
171
172			Proof by intimidation:
173			'Trivial.'
174
175			Proof by vigorous handwaving:
176			Works well in a classroom or seminar setting.
177
178			Proof by cumbersome notation:
179			Best done with access to at least four alphabets and special symbols.
180
181			Proof by exhaustion:
182			An issue or two of a journal devoted to your proof is useful.
183
184			Proof by omission:
185			'The reader may easily supply the details.'
186			'The other 253 cases are analogous.'
187			'...'
188
189			Proof by obfuscation:
190			A long plotless sequence of true and/or meaningless syntactically
191			related statements.
192
193			Proof by wishful citation:
194			The author cites the negation, converse, or generalization of a theorem
195			from the literature to support his claims.
196
197			Proof by funding:
198			How could three different government agencies be wrong?
199
200			Proof by eminent authority:
201			'I saw Karp in the elevator and he said it was probably NP-complete.'
202
203			Proof by personal communication:
204			'Eight-dimensional colored cycle stripping is NP-complete' [Karp,
205			personal commmunication].
206
207			Proof by reduction to the wrong problem:
208			'To see that infinite-dimensional colored cycle stripping is decidable,
209			we reduce it to the halting problem.'
210
211			Proof by reference to inaccessible literature:
212			The author cites a simple corollary of a theorem to be found in a
213			privately circulated memoir of the Slovenian Philological Society,
214			1883.
215
216			Proof by importance:
217			A large body of useful consequences all follow from the proposition in question.
218
219			Proof by accumulated evidence:
220			Long and diligent search has not revealed a counterexample.
221
222			Proof by cosmology:
223			The negation of the proposition is unimaginable or meaningless. Popular
224			for proofs of the existence of God.
225
226			Proof by mutual reference:
227			In reference A, Theorem 5 is said to follow from Theorem 3 in reference
228			B, which is shown to follow from Corollary 6.2 in reference C, which is
229			an easy consequence of Theorem 5 in reference A.
230
231			Proof by meta-proof:
232			A method is given to construct the desired proof. The correctness of
233			the method is proved by any of these techniques.
234
235			Proof by picture:
236			A more convincing form of proof by example. Combines well with proof by omission.
237
238			Proof by vehement assertion:
239			It is useful to have some kind of authority relation to the audience.
240
241			Proof by ghost reference:
242			Nothing even remotely resembling the cited theorem appears in the reference given.
243
244			Proof by forward reference:
245			Reference is usually to a forthcoming paper of the author, which is
246			often not as forthcoming as at first.
247
248			Proof by semantic shift:
249			Some standard but inconvenient definitions are changed for the
250			statement of the result.
251
252			Proof by appeal to intuition:
253			Cloud-shaped drawings frequently help here.
254
255			Proof by elimination of the counterexample:
256			'Assume for the moment that the hypothesis is true. Now, let's
257			suppose we find a counterexample. So what? QED.' (from Don Woods
258			<DON@SU-AI.ARPA>)

733
734			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
735			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
736
737			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
738			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
739			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
740			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
741			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
742
743			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
744			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
745			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
746			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
747			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
748			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
749			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
750			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
751			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
752
753			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
754			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
755			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
756			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
757			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
758			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
759			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
760			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
761			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
762			maintainer.

951			As with Francois, I used to use ccache for recompiling packages that

953			the time, I had overrated memory, and a BIOS without a memory clock
954			option. The system was generally fine, but once in awhile would scramble
955			a memory transfer enough to cause a crash. CCache was a LOT of help in

1679			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1680			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1681			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1682			from fascism period.
1683
1684			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1685			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1686			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1687			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1688			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1689			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1690			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1691			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1692			SIAE.
1693
1694			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1695			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1696			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1697			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1698			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1699			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1709			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1710			western country.

1712			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1713			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1714			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last

1785
1786			Hi
1787
1788			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1789			someone here can advise me.
1790
1791			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1792			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1793			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1794			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1795			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1796
1797			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1798			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1799			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1800			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1801			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

1884			Portability : try installing unix on cutting edge hardware . bad luck it won`t work . install windows (the oldest) on any ... it will .

1887			GUI : we know how customisable is the windows gui . and how stable .
1888			Gaming : ...anyone got an ideea of a linux game that is really cool ?
1889			Cost : install linux as server ... it is free no ? but you have to pay a sysadmin . or learn a lot . buy a lot of books . using windows ... just click next . if you are not dumb you might make it secure too (reading help does HELP! ) .
1890			Virus : due to the fact that windows is so flexible it is logcal to have viruses . afterall the human body has more than a monkeys one .
1891			Stability : reboot windows 100 times by using the case button . perhaps a scandisk will appear . reboot linux ... ups kernel panic .

2088			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden

2090			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
2091			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
2092			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
2093			es nicht.
2094
2095			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
2096			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
2097			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
2098			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
2099			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
2100			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
2101
2102			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
2103			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
2104			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
2105			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
2106			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
2107			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
2108			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
2109			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
2110			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
2111			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
2112			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
2113			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
2114			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
2115			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
2116
2117			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
2118			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
2119			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
2120			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
2121			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
2122			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
2123			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
2124
2125			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
2126			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
2127			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
2128			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
2129			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
2130			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
2131			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
2132			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
2133			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
2134			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
2135			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
2136			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
2137			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
2138			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
2139			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
2140			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
2141			alternativ' Idioten!
2142
2143			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
2144			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
2145			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
2146			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
2147			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
2148			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
2149			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
2150			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
2151			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
2152			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
2153			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
2154			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
2155			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
2156			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
2157
2158			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will

2160			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

2163
2164			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
2165			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
2166			Dinge zu sagen:
2167
2168			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
2169
2170			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
2171			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
2172			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
2173			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
2174			anfange.
2175
2176			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
2177			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
2178			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
2179			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
2180			dieser verdammten schule!
2181
2182			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
2183			die Welt zu bieten hat!

2185			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
2186
2187			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
2188			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
2189			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
2190			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
2191			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
2192			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
2193			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
2194			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
2195			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
2196			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
2197
2198			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
2199			Einschulung.
2200
2201			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
2202			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
2203			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
2204			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
2205			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
2206			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
2207			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
2208			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
2209			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
2210			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!

2498			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2499			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2500			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2501			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2502			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2503			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2504			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2505			companies want to own your computer.
2506
2507			Some examples:
2508
2509			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2510			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2511			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2512			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2513			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2514			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2515			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2516			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2517			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2518	root	1.432
2519	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2520			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2521			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2522			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2523			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2524
2525			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2526			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2527			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2528			from Microsoft? You can't.
2529
2530			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2531			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2532			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2533			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2534			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2535			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2536			adversely affect its business partners.
2537
2538			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2539			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2540			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2541			about your behavior.
2542
2543			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2544			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2545			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2546			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2547			presumed infractions.
2548
2549			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2550			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2551			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2552
2553			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2554			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2555			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2556			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2557			user's device against him.
2558			[...]
2559			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2560			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2561			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2562			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2563			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2564			back-room marketing deals.

2741			By Bertrand Russell
2742
2743			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2744			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2745			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2746			might be set forth as follows:
2747
2748			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2749
2750			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2751			evidence is sure to come to light.
2752
2753			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2754
2755			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2756			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2757			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2758
2759			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2760			contrary authorities to be found.
2761
2762			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2763			do the opinions will suppress you.
2764
2765			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2766			was once eccentric.
2767
2768			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2769			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2770			agreement than the latter.
2771
2772			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2773			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2774
2775			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2776			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

3765			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3766
3767			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3768			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3769			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3770			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3771			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3772			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3773			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3774			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3775			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3776			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3777			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3778			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3779			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3780			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3781			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3782			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3783			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3784			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3785			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3786			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3787			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3788			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3789			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3790			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3791
3792			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3793			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3794			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3795			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3796			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3797
3798			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3799			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3800			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3801			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3802			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3803			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3804			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3805			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3806			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3807			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3808			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3809
3810			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3811			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3812			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3813			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3814			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3815			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3816			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3817			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3818			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3819			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3820			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3821			sovereign nation.
3822
3823			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3824			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3825			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3826			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3827			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3828			CSPAN, don't post here.

3889
3890			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3891
3892			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3893			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3894			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3895			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3896			explanation of this.
3897
3898			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3899
3900			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3901			which explains why the hammer falls.
3902
3903			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3904			how a population's genome can change over time.
3905
3906	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3907			mathematical relationship between two values.

3909			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3910			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3911
3912			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3913			acceleration.
3914
3915			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3916			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3917			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3918			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3919			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3920			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3921			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3922			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3923			false.

4083			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
4084
4085			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
4086			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
4087			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
4088			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
4089			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
4090			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
4091			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
4092			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
4093			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
4094			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
4095			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
4096			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
4097			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
4098			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
4099
4100			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
4101			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
4102			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
4103			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
4104			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
4105			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like

5488	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5489			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5490			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5491			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5492			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5493			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5494			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5495
5496			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5497			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5498			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5499			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5500			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5501			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5502			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5503			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5504			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5505			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5506
5507			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5508			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5509			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5510			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5716

5719			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5720			end.
5721
5722			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5723
5724			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5725			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5726			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5727			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5728			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5729			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5730			take place on October 27th.
5731
5732			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5733			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5734			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5735			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5736			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5737			the clock)...

5917			keep people from being killed by it. Windows -- the Pinto of the 21st

5920			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5921			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5922			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5923			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5924			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5925			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5926			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5927			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5928			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5929			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5930			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5931			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

6230			[...]
6231			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
6232			months before Microsoft released its patch.
6233			[...]
6234			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
6235			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
6236			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
6237			turned on by default.
6238			[...]
6239			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
6240			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
6241			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
6242			[...]
6243			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
6244			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
6245			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
6246			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
6247			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
6248			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
6249			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
6250			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
6251			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

6764			This story is too weird for words. Microsoft adds PGP signatures at the
6765			bottom of its security bulletins, for verification. But if you try to
6766			verify the signatures, they fail. Already there has been at least one
6767			forged security bulletin, urging people to install a "patch" with a Trojan
6768			Horse. Microsoft's reaction to this all simply makes no sense; it's like

7937
7938			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7939			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7940			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7941			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7942			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7943			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7944			do the right thing.
7945
7946			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7947			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7948			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7949			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7950			and they have to fix it.

8265			A professor at my school got the opposite opinion from her students.
8266			She introduced ML (along with two other languages) as part of a course
8267			on the principles of programming languages in the third year. The
8268			students' opinion: this is such an annoyingly pedantic language, it
8269			refuses to let me run my program and get some partial though wrong
8270			results simply because I make a mistake!
8271
8272			In other words, given that humans are bound to make mistakes, the
8273			students at my school prefer to see them manifested as run-time
8274			errors.
8275
8276			So I look at your email address. Ah, you are in Europe and I am in
8277			North America. I guess that's why. Dijkstra is probably right about

8279			programmers liking to chase after bugs.

9400			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
9401			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
9402			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
9403			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
9404			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
9405			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
9406			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
9407			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
9408			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
9409			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in

9411			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
9412			work.

9544	root	1.1	"And over here, ladies and gentlemen, may I draw your attention to
9545			the 'posicks box', a mechanism within one of the late 20th century
9546			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
9547			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by
9548			its commercial-mimetic sustainer), designed so as to provide the
9549			appearance and functionality required to comply with one of the few
9550			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the
9551			time. Unsurprising given the non-integration imperitives used by the
9552			agent's sustainter, this mechanism was demonstrated to be an ingenious
9553			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
9554			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
9555			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge
9556			pool, benefiting the sustainer in the short run due to the focus
9557			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
9558			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long
9559			run, as neither the 'windows' or 'posicks' schemas were relevant to
9560			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
9561			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale
9562			logic units (a fact that only a few meta-experts still need to be
9563			aware of), and 'windows' survives, for religious-mimetic reasons, as
9564			the human-communication agent in a few stereotypical toasters and soap
9565			dispensers."

9622			I sit behind an NT dual P2/400 256MB for too many hours each day. It is

9625			loading the wave file. Basically its just reading the file and writing it
9626			to swap. The CPU is at 5%. No Alt-Tab between apps during that time. No
9627			chance of putting the mouse over a button (too many dropped ticks). The

10083			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
10084			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
10085			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do
10086			interesting things.
10087			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that

10400			Hmmm, if some RTEMS users have nuclear facilities attached to their
10401			systems, they might be well advised to be careful using FORTRAN as
10402			their language of choice. The comp.lang.fortran FAQ states (with
10403			concurrence from resident X3J3 members) that "using a non-standard
10404			construct might start WW III, if the necessary (optional) hardware
10405			is installed"

10819			Die enorme Zentrifugalkraft im Erdinnern schleudert das Wasser wieder
10820			am Nordpolpol raus, falls der Traktorstrahl versagen sollte (Dies
10821			passiert immer dann, wenn das Erdmagnetfeld umkippt). Nun kommt sicher
10822	root	1.388	der Einwand, die Erde würde zu langsam rotieren. Das ist nur bedingt
10823			richtig. Richtig ist hingegen, daß die Rotationsgeschwindigkeit im
10824			Erdinnern um den Faktor 1000 (ca; sehr schwer zu messen: Magma) größer
10825			ist als auf der Erdoberfläche. Dies ist auch die Ursache für die
10826	root	1.1	Kontinentaldrift und die Mondphasen.
10827
10828			Die Mondphasen wiederum beeinflussen das Erdmagnetfeld und sind daher
10829	root	1.388	die Ursache für die Sonnenflecken. Den Sonnenflecken haben wir auch
10830			die momentane Klimaveränderung zu verdanken. Auf der anderen Seite hat
10831			die Zunahme der Treibhausgase eine Erhöhung des Reflektionsvermögens
10832			der Atmosphäre zur Folge, welches dazu führt, daß ein Teil der
10833			Sonnenenergie zur Sonne zurückreflektiert wird. Dies heizt wiederum
10834			die Sonnenflecken auf und verkürzt deren Zyklus. All dies wird sich in
10835			den nächten Monaten so aufschaukeln, daß vorraussichtlich im Novemner
10836	root	1.1	2002 das Erdmagnetfeld zusammenbrechen wird. Wie damals bei den Dinos.

11422			Subject: Re: system() question
11423
11424			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
11425			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
11426			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
11427			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
11428			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
11429			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
11430			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
11431			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
11432			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
11433			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
11434			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
11435			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
11436			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
11437			humiliating for me!)
11438
11439			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
11440			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
11441			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
11442			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
11443			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
11444			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
11445			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
11446			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
11447			really knows the answer.
11448
11449			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
11450			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
11451			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
11452			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
11453
11454			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
11455			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
11456			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
11457			for that.
11458
11459			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
11460			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
11461			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
11462			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
11463			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
11464			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
11465			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
11466
11467			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
11468
11469			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
11470			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
11471			something for free.''
11472
11473			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
11474
11475			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
11476			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
11477
11478			(Good question.)
11479
11480			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
11481			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
11482			once I have run it.''
11483			(Good question.)
11484
11485			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
11486
11487			(Good question.)
11488
11489			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11490			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11491			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11492			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11493			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11494
11495			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11496			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11497			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11498			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11499			comp.lang.perl?
11500			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11501			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11502			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11503			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11504			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11505			in comp.lang.perl?
11506
11507			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11508			you my rate card.
11509
11510			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11511			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11512			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11513			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11514			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11515			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11516			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11517			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11518			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11519			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11520
11521			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11522			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11523			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11524			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11525			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11526			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11527			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11528			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11529			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11530			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11531			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11532			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11533			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11534			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11535			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11536			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11537
11538			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11539			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11540			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11541			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11542			someone will. Maybe I will.
11543
11544			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11545			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11546			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11547			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11548			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11549			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11550			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11551			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11552
11553			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11554			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11555			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11556			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11557			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11558			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11559			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11560			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11561			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11562			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11563			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11564			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11565			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11566			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11567
11568			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11569			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11570			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11571			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11572
11573			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11574
11575			`I want to accomplish X.
11576
11577			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11578
11579			...
11580
11581			But instead it does Y.
11582
11583			Why is that?''
11584
11585			This one is also pretty good:
11586
11587			`I want to accomplish X.
11588			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11589
11590			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11591			because of Z.
11592
11593			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11594
11595			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11596			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11597
11598
11599			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11600			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11662	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11663			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11664			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11665			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11666	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11667	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11668			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11669			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11670			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11671	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11672	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11673			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11674	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11675			nicht. ;)
11676
11677	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11678			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11679			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11680	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11681			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11682	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11683	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11684
11685	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11686			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11687	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11688	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder
11689	root	1.1	wenn etwas nicht ist, das ist.
11690
11691	root	1.388	Von der Unfähigkeit des Menschen, sich einen unbegrenzten aber endlichen
11692	root	1.1	Raum (oder wie auch immer der Weltraum nun aussieht) vorzustellen auf die

11694			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11695	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an
11696	root	1.388	sich wird nicht in Frage gestellt dadurch, daß man sich etwas - egal was -
11697	root	1.1	nicht vorstellen kann. Er verwechselt die Begriffe "unlogisch" und
11698			"unvorstellbar".

11759			between these:
11760
11761			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11762			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11763
11764			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11765			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11766			;#", and the print gets executed!
11767
11768			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11769			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11770			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11771			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

12020			determines what register 69 (also write-only) actually changes. If you write
12021			to register 13 while the accelerator is active, you lock the PCI bus. You
12022			can't determine if the accelerator is active without reading from register
12023			42, but you can't interpret the contents of that register correctly without
12024			knowing what the last accelerator command was. Reading from register 13 gets
12025			you some useless (unrelated) info and _also_ toggles the accelerator on and

12114			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
12115			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
12116			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
12117			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
12118			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
12119			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
12120			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
12121			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
12122			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
12123			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
12124			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
12125			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
12126			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
12127			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
12128			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
