43			I also proposed making malloc(0) perfectly fine, since zero is a perfectly
44			fine value. I also, in the same letter, proposed making zero-sized
45			arrays legal, mostly so you could do the extend-the-struct trick for a
46			variable-sized array as the last field of the struct.
47
48			I got two letters back as answer to my one. #1: Malloc(0) shouldn't work
49			because zero-sized arrays don't work. #2: Zero-sized arrays shouldn't work
50			because malloc(0) doesn't work. Well played, ANSI C committee, and may

886			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
887			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
888			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
889			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
890
891			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
892			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
893			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
894			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
895			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking

900			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
901			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
902			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
903			from fascism period.
904
905			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
906			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
907			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
908			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
909			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
910			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
911			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
912			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
913			SIAE.
914
915			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
916			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
917			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
918			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
919			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
920			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

922			electronic ones
923
924			#25. fallingstones - 08-10 03:52
925
926			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
927			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
928			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
929			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
930			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
931			western country.
932
933			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
934			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
935			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
936			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
937			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
938			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
939			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
940			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
941			also the governments of "center-left".

1005			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1006
1007			Hi
1008
1009			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1010			someone here can advise me.
1011
1012			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1013			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1014			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1015			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1016			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1017
1018			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1019			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1020			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1021			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1022			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1023			corresponding thing in C?
1024
1025			Thanks!

1348			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1349			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1350			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1351			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1352			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1353			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1354			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1355			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1356			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1357			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1358			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1359			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1360			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1361			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1362			alternativ' Idioten!

1364			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1365			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1366			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1367			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1368			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1369			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1370			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1371			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1372			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1373			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1374			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1375			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1376			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1377			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!

1386			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1387			Dinge zu sagen:
1388
1389			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1390
1391			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1392			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1393			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1394			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1395			anfange.
1396
1397			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1398			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1399			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1400			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf

1423			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der

1425			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1426			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1427			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1428			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1429			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1430			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
1431			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!

1741			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1742			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1743			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1744			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1745
1746			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1747			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1748			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1749			from Microsoft? You can't.
1750
1751			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1752			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1753			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1754			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1755			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1756			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1757			adversely affect its business partners.
1758
1759			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1760			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1761			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1762			about your behavior.
1763
1764			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1765			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1766			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1767			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1768			presumed infractions.
1769
1770			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1771			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1772			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1773
1774			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1775			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1776			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1777			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1778			user's device against him.
1779			[...]
1780			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1781			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1782			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1783			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1784			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1785			back-room marketing deals.

1962			By Bertrand Russell
1963
1964			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
1965			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
1966			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
1967			might be set forth as follows:
1968
1969			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
1970
1971			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
1972			evidence is sure to come to light.
1973
1974			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
1975
1976			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
1977			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
1978			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
1979
1980			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
1981			contrary authorities to be found.
1982
1983			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
1984			do the opinions will suppress you.
1985
1986			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
1987			was once eccentric.
1988
1989			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
1990			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
1991			agreement than the latter.
1992
1993			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
1994			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
1995
1996			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
1997			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

2152			exactly getting off on the right foot.

2986			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
2987
2988			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
2989			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
2990			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
2991			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
2992			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
2993			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
2994			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
2995			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
2996			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
2997			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
2998			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
2999			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3000			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3001			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3002			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3003			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3004			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3005			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3006			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3007			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3008			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3009			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3010			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3011			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3012
3013			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3014			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3015			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3016			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3017			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3018
3019			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3020			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3021			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3022			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3023			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3024			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3025			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3026			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3027			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3028			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3029			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3030
3031			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3032			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3033			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3034			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3035			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3036			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3037			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3038			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3039			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3040			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3041			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3042			sovereign nation.
3043
3044			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3045			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3046			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3047			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3048			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3049			CSPAN, don't post here.

3110
3111			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3112
3113			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3114			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3115			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3116			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3117			explanation of this.
3118
3119			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3120
3121			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3122			which explains why the hammer falls.
3123
3124			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3125			how a population's genome can change over time.
3126
3127	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3128			mathematical relationship between two values.

3130			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3131			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3132
3133			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3134			acceleration.
3135
3136			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3137			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3138			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3139			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3140			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3141			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3142			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3143			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3144			false.

3303	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3304			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3305
3306			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3307			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3308			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3309			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3310			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3311			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3312			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3313			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3314			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3315			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3316			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3317			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3318			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3319			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3320
3321			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3322			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3323			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3324			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3325			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3326			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3327			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

3994			Daylight Saving Committee in New South Wales, Australia.
3995

3998			a new one from ADSC spokeswoman Judith Hall, of Gunnedah, who told the

4373			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4374			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4375			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4376			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4377			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4378			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4379			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4380			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4381			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4382			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4383			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4384			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4385			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4386			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4387			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4388			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4389			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You
4390			should know, though, that I myself am an historian, not a programmer.

4710			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4711			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the

4714			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees

4719			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4720			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4721			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4722			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4723			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4724			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4725			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4726			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4727
4728			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4729			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4730			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4731			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

4944
4945			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
4946			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
4947			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
4948			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is

4950			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
4951			take place on October 27th.
4952
4953			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
4954			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
4955			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
4956			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
4957			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
4958			the clock)...

5133			claiming that opening their systems is a security risk. Pity.

5136			A comment on Slashdot sums it up best: "Microsoft has therefore taken
5137			the position that their code is so bad that it must be kept secret to
5138			keep people from being killed by it. Windows -- the Pinto of the 21st
5139			century."
5140
5141			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5142			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5143			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5144			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5145			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5146			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5147			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5148			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5149			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5150			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5151			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5152			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your
5153			clearance pulled for blabbing like that. Jim Allchin's testimony:

5448			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response

5451			[...]
5452			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5453			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5454			[...]
5455			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5456			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5457			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5458			turned on by default.
5459			[...]
5460			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5461			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5462			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5463			[...]
5464			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5465			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5466			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5467			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5468			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5469			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5470			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5471			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this

6291			My first exposure to Unix came in 1987 when I was assigned to write a datacomm
6292			package in C on a Unix (AIX) workstation the company had just bought. I was the
6293			only one in our shop who knew C, and no one else there had ever dealt with Unix
6294			either. (I had heard of Unix, but didn't know anything about it.) My training
6295			consisted of my boss handing me the manuals and saying, "Figure it out." For
6296			the first two weeks I absolutely HATED that system; nothing made sense, vi
6297			seemed insane, and I was stumbling blindly through the documentation (I'd never
6298			seen a permuted index before). Then suddenly something clicked, it all started
6299			to make sense, and I fell in love with it. That's why I think it's so important
6300			for people to learn the Unix mindset before trying to deal with Unix systems.
6301			It's also why I have so little patience with people who don't have the patience
6302			to work through the learning curve.

7158
7159			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7160			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7161			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7164			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7165			do the right thing.
7166
7167			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7168			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7169			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7170			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7171			and they have to fix it.

8766			the 'posicks box', a mechanism within one of the late 20th century
8767			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
8768			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by
8769			its commercial-mimetic sustainer), designed so as to provide the
8770			appearance and functionality required to comply with one of the few
8771			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the
8772			time. Unsurprising given the non-integration imperitives used by the
8773			agent's sustainter, this mechanism was demonstrated to be an ingenious
8774			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
8775			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
8776			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge
8777			pool, benefiting the sustainer in the short run due to the focus
8778			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
8779			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long
8780			run, as neither the 'windows' or 'posicks' schemas were relevant to
8781			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
8782			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale
8783			logic units (a fact that only a few meta-experts still need to be
8784			aware of), and 'windows' survives, for religious-mimetic reasons, as

9575			of ours totally destroyed his NT installation on Alpha.
9576
9577			He found on a manufacturer page, no money - for a download, "NT driver"
9578			for his particular piece of a hardware. So he followed instructions
9579			to the letter - "Installation Wizzard" and all that crap - and the thing
9580			happily installed clobbering, as it is customary in these circles,
9581			essential system libraries with its own versions. The catch was that
9582			this driver was for NT/Intel and these bozos did not even bother to
9583			check for an architecture or at least mention something in some blurb.
9584			Ooops! No chance even to try to boot anymore.
9585
9586			The saving grace was that the installation was rather new, so loses
9587			were not big, and he had an opportunity to practice an essential skill
9588			of re-installing Windows NT. Ah, and yes, this was the only NT driver

10643			Subject: Re: system() question
10644
10645			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10646			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10647			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10648			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10649			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10650			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10651			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10652			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10653			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10654			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10655			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10656			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10657			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10658			humiliating for me!)
10659
10660			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10661			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10662			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10663			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10664			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10665			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10666			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10667			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10668			really knows the answer.
10669
10670			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10671			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10672			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10673			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10674
10675			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10676			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10677			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10678			for that.
10679
10680			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10681			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10682			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10683			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10684			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10685			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10686			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10687
10688			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10689
10690			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10691			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10692			something for free.''
10693
10694			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10695
10696			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10697			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10698
10699			(Good question.)
10700
10701			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10702			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10703			once I have run it.''
10704			(Good question.)
10705
10706			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10707
10708			(Good question.)
10709
10710			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10711			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10712			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10713			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10714			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10715
10716			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10717			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10718			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10719			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10720			comp.lang.perl?
10721			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10722			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10723			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10724			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10725			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10726			in comp.lang.perl?
10727
10728			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10729			you my rate card.
10730
10731			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10732			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10733			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10734			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10735			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10736			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10737			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10738			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10739			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10740			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10741
10742			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10743			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10744			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10745			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10746			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10747			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10748			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10749			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10750			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10751			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10752			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10753			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10754			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10755			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10756			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10757			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10758
10759			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10760			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10761			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10762			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10763			someone will. Maybe I will.
10764
10765			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10766			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10767			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10768			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10769			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10770			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10771			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10772			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10773
10774			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10775			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10776			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10777			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10778			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10779			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10780			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10781			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10782			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10783			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10784			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10785			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10786			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10787			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10788
10789			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10790			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10791			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a

10794			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10795
10796			`I want to accomplish X.
10797
10798			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10799
10800			...
10801
10802			But instead it does Y.
10803
10804			Why is that?''
10805
10806			This one is also pretty good:
10807
10808			`I want to accomplish X.
10809			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10810
10811			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10812			because of Z.
10813
10814			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10815
10816			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
10817			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.

10883	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
10884			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
10885			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
10886			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
10887	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
10888	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
10889			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
10890			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
10891			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
10892	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
10893	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
10894			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
10895	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
10896			nicht. ;)
10897
10898	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
10899			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
10900			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
10901	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
10902			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
10903	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
10904	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
10905
10906	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
10907			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
10908	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
10909	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder

10915			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
10916	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an
10917	root	1.388	sich wird nicht in Frage gestellt dadurch, daß man sich etwas - egal was -

10980			between these:
10981
10982			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
10983			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
10984
10985			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
10986			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
10987			;#", and the print gets executed!
10988
10989			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
10990			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
10991			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
10992			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

11336			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11337			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11338			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11339			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11340			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11341			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11342			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11343			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11344			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11345			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11346			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11347			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11348			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11349			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
