20			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
21			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
22
23			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
24			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
25			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
26			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
27			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
28
29			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
30			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
31			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
32			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
33			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
34			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
35			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
36			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
37			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
38
39			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
40			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
41			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
42			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
43			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
44			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
45			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
46			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
47			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
48			maintainer.

456			hate hard-working American families that much? Thank God Senator Orrin
457			Hatch and the RIAA love America's children more than you do.
458
459			The situation in Europe: Sound recordings up to 1960 are already in the
460			public domain. The terrorists have won. Our only hope of restoring the
461			justice of eternal and infinite copyright (and therefore saving our own
462			children's lives!) lies in the selfless efforts of the likes of Bono and
463			Cliff Richard, as they cry all the way to the bank about artists not being
464			rewarded for their creativity.
465
466			Let's hope that by the time you finish reading this sentence, copyright
467			will have been extended another 99 years... you know, to justly compensate
468			that bloke sitting by a mic in 1895. If he'd thought that in 2066

470			would never have made it in the first place.

494			Scientific Scrutiny and Disclosure
495
496			I was wondering how anyone possibly could conclude from this exchange that
497			Lenski was hiding something. I came to the conclusion that some people
498			must not understand how scientific scrutiny works. I wrote a guide.
499
500			Scientific scrutiny works like this:
501			Scientist A publishes results.
502
503			Scientist B: A, I tried duplicating your experiment, but parameters x, y,
504			and z that I need were not in your article. I need you to disclose to me
505			x, y, and z that you used at the time. What are they?
506
507			A: x, y, and z are such and such.
508			B: Using x, y, and z, my result doesn't agree with yours at all. Are you
509			sure you did the procedures that you claimed?
510			A: ...
511			B: You fraud!
512
513			Scientific scrutiny does not work like this:
514
515			A publishes results.
516
517			B: I have Generic Skepticism toward your article. Under code viii of the
518			Publication Criteria, I demand that you give me all of your data!
519			A: ... ok...? It seems that everything you would need is already in the
520			article. Did you have something specific in mind?
521			B: A has refused to attach all data he has ever used for the
522			experiment. He is withholding information and thus hiding something.

951			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
952			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
953			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
954			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
955
956			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
957			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
958			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
959			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
960			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
961			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
962
963			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
964
965			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
966			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
967			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
968			from fascism period.
969
970			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
971			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
972			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
973			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
974			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
975			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
976			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
977			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
978			SIAE.
979
980			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
981			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
982			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
983			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
984			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
985			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing
986			your petition (and you need at least 500, and with a REAL signs, not
987			electronic ones
988
989			#25. fallingstones - 08-10 03:52
990
991			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
992			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
993			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
994			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
995			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
996			western country.
997
998			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
999			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1000			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1001			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1002			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1003			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1004			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1005			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
1006			also the governments of "center-left".
1007
1008			Again, sorry you and all for my bad English. I hope you can understand.
1009
1010			If I can, I suggest Brokep creating a guide for using TOR, a little

1070			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1071
1072			Hi
1073
1074			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1075			someone here can advise me.
1076
1077			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1078			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1079			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1080			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1081			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1082
1083			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1084			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1085			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1086			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1087			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1088			corresponding thing in C?
1089

1374			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1375			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1376			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1377			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1378			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1379			es nicht.
1380
1381			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1382			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1383			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1384			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1385			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1386			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1387
1388			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1389			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1390			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1391			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1392			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1393			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1394			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1395			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1396			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1397			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1398			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1399			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1400			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1401			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1402
1403			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1404			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1405			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1406			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1407			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1408			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1409			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1410
1411			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1412			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1413			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1414			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1415			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1416			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1417			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1418			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1419			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1420			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1421			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1422			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1423			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1424			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1425			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1426			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1427			alternativ' Idioten!
1428
1429			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1430			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1431			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1432			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1433			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1434			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1435			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1436			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1437			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1438			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1439			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1440			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1441			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1442			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1443
1444			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1445			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1446			Ausgestossenen beitragen!
1447
1448			Ich will R A C H E !
1449
1450			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1451			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1452			Dinge zu sagen:
1453
1454			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1455
1456			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1457			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1458			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1459			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1460			anfange.
1461
1462			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1463			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1464			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1465			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1466			dieser verdammten schule!

1469			die Welt zu bieten hat!

1471			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
1472
1473			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
1474			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1475			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1476			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1477			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1478			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1479			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1480			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1481			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1482			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1483

1485			Einschulung.
1486
1487			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1488			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1489			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1490			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1491			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1492			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1493			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1494			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1495			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier

1784			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1785			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1786			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1787			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1788			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1789			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1790			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1791			companies want to own your computer.
1792
1793			Some examples:
1794
1795			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1796			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1797			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1798			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1799			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1800			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1801			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1802			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1803			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1804	root	1.432
1805	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1806			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1807			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1808			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1809			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1810
1811			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1812			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1813			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1814			from Microsoft? You can't.
1815
1816			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1817			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1818			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1819			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1820			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1821			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1822			adversely affect its business partners.
1823
1824			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1825			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1826			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1827			about your behavior.
1828
1829			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1830			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1831			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1832			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1833			presumed infractions.
1834
1835			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1836			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1837			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1838
1839			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1840			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1841			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1842			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1843			user's device against him.
1844			[...]
1845			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1846			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1847			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1848			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1849			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1850			back-room marketing deals.

2027			By Bertrand Russell
2028
2029			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2030			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2031			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2032			might be set forth as follows:
2033
2034			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2035
2036			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2037			evidence is sure to come to light.
2038
2039			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2040
2041			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2042			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2043			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2044
2045			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2046			contrary authorities to be found.
2047
2048			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2049			do the opinions will suppress you.
2050
2051			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2052			was once eccentric.
2053
2054			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2055			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2056			agreement than the latter.
2057
2058			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2059			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2060
2061			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2062			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

3051			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3052
3053			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3054			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3055			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3056			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3057			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3058			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3059			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3060			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3061			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3062			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3063			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3064			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3065			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3066			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3067			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3068			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3069			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3070			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3071			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3072			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3073			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3074			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3075			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3076			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3077
3078			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3079			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3080			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3081			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3082			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3083
3084			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3085			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3086			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3087			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3088			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3089			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3090			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3091			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3092			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3093			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3094			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3095
3096			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3097			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3098			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3099			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3100			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3101			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3102			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3103			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3104			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3105			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3106			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3107			sovereign nation.
3108
3109			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3110			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3111			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3112			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3113			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3114			CSPAN, don't post here.

3175
3176			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3177
3178			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3179			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3180			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3181			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3182			explanation of this.
3183
3184			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3185
3186			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3187			which explains why the hammer falls.
3188
3189			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3190			how a population's genome can change over time.
3191
3192	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3193			mathematical relationship between two values.

3195			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3196			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3197
3198			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3199			acceleration.
3200
3201			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3202			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3203			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3204			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3205			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3206			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3207			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3208			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3209			false.

3368	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3369			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3370
3371			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3372			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3373			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3374			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3375			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3376			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3377			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3378			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3379			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3380			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3381			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3382			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3383			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3384			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3385
3386			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3387			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3388			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3389			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3390			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3391			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3392			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4379
4380			Employee: Why would you need that?
4381

4438			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4439			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4440			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4441			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4442			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4443			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4444			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4445			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4446			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4447			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4448			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4449			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4450			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4451			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4452			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4453			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4454			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You
4455			should know, though, that I myself am an historian, not a programmer.

4774	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4775			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4776			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4777			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4778			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4779			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4780			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4781
4782			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4783			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4784			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4785			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4786			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4787			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4788			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4789			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4790			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4791			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4792
4793			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4794			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4795			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4796			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5018			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5019			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5020			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5021			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the

5201			A comment on Slashdot sums it up best: "Microsoft has therefore taken
5202			the position that their code is so bad that it must be kept secret to
5203			keep people from being killed by it. Windows -- the Pinto of the 21st

5205
5206			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5207			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5208			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5209			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5210			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5211			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5212			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5213			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5214			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5215			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5216			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5217			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your
5218			clearance pulled for blabbing like that. Jim Allchin's testimony:

5510			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
5511
5512			[...]
5513			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5514			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5515			of for Windows desktop systems."
5516			[...]
5517			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5518			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5519			[...]
5520			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5521			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5522			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5523			turned on by default.
5524			[...]
5525			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5526			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5527			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5528			[...]
5529			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5530			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5531			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5532			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5533			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5534			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5535			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5536			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5537			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

7223
7224			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7225			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7226			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7228			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7229			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7230			do the right thing.
7231
7232			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7233			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7234			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7235			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7236			and they have to fix it.

7388			Under Solaris 7, when the number of idle sockets was decreased from 10,000
7389			to 100, the time to check for active sockets with poll() decreased by a
7390			factor of only 6.5. Shouldn't it be more like 100? Sounds like Solaris' poll

8677
8678			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8679			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8680			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8681			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8682			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8683			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8684			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8685			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8686			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8687			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8688			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8689			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8690			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8691			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8692			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8693			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8694			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8695			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8696			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8697			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8698			work.
8699			[...]
8700			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8701			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8702			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8703			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8704			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8705			search generically - then it has some potential.
8706			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8707			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8708			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
8709			intellectual value whatsoever.

9536			skipped a day by moving the clocks ahead 24 hours. Similar issues
9537			arise when asking about times that occur within smaller, more typical
9538			UTC offset changes. A number of obscure questions arise here, and I'm
9539			not sure it's worth standardizing all the answers.

10708			Subject: Re: system() question
10709
10710			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10711			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10712			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10713			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10714			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10715			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10716			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10717			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10718			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10719			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10720			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10721			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10722			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10723			humiliating for me!)
10724
10725			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10726			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10727			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10728			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10729			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10730			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10731			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10732			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10733			really knows the answer.
10734
10735			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10736			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10737			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10738			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10739
10740			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10741			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10742			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10743			for that.
10744
10745			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10746			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10747			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10748			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10749			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10750			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10751			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10752
10753			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10754
10755			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10756			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10757			something for free.''
10758
10759			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10760
10761			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10762			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10763
10764			(Good question.)
10765
10766			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10767			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10768			once I have run it.''
10769			(Good question.)
10770
10771			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10772
10773			(Good question.)
10774
10775			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10776			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10777			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10778			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10779			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10780
10781			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10782			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10783			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10784			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10785			comp.lang.perl?
10786			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10787			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10788			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10789			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10790			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10791			in comp.lang.perl?
10792
10793			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10794			you my rate card.

10798			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10799			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10800			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10801			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10802			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10803			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10804			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10805			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10806
10807			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10808			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10809			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10810			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10811			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10812			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10813			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10814			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10815			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10816			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10817			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10818			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10819			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10820			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10821			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10822			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10823
10824			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10825			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10826			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10827			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10828			someone will. Maybe I will.
10829
10830			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10831			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10832			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10833			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10834			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10835			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10836			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10837			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10838
10839			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10840			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10841			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10842			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10843			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10844			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10845			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10846			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10847			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10848			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10849			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10850			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10851			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10852			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10853
10854			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10855			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10856			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10857			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10858
10859			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10860
10861			`I want to accomplish X.
10862
10863			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10864
10865			...
10866
10867			But instead it does Y.
10868
10869			Why is that?''
10870
10871			This one is also pretty good:
10872
10873			`I want to accomplish X.
10874			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10875
10876			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10877			because of Z.
10878
10879			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10880
10881			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
10882			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
10883
10884
10885			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
10886			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

10948	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
10949			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
10950			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
10951			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
10952	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
10953	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
10954			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
10955			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
10956			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
10957	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
10958	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
10959			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
10960	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
10961			nicht. ;)
10962
10963	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
10964			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
10965			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
10966	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
10967			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
10968	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
10969	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
10970
10971	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
10972			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
10973	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
10974	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder
10975	root	1.1	wenn etwas nicht ist, das ist.

10977	root	1.388	Von der Unfähigkeit des Menschen, sich einen unbegrenzten aber endlichen

10980			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
10981	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an
10982	root	1.388	sich wird nicht in Frage gestellt dadurch, daß man sich etwas - egal was -

11045			between these:
11046
11047			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11048			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11049
11050			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11051			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11052			;#", and the print gets executed!
11053
11054			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11055			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11056			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11057			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

11401			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
11402			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11403			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11404			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11405			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11406			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11407			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11408			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11409			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11410			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11411			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11412			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11413			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11414			scale than would initially seem to be the case.

11611			I think you are experiencing GOVERNMENT CONTROL. You see, everyone
11612			with a chat script is being scrutinised by the department of CHAT
11613			control. Whenever they see some message they don't like, they
11614			introduce some little goblin called feature-creep in your program. if
11615			you have lots of these little devils, your program migth acquire so
11616			many new features that it just stops working.
11617
11618			This also applies to Microsoft products.

11622
11623			Yes, it makes perfect sense. Especially if they're features which
11624			really are bugs. And especially if they're 'private' messages. You
11625			know perfectly well that the government doesn't like private messages.
11626
11627			Hope this explains what's going on
