2			when he’d been a kid, there had been a performance artist making
3			the rounds—Jila Sorormaya, her name was. As he recalled, she’d
4			intentionally corrupted data-storage devices and then put the data stream
5			through her music kit. She’d gotten into trouble when some of the
6			proprietary code of the storage device software got incorporated into her
7			music and posted. Miller hadn’t been a sophisticate. He’d figured
8			another nutcase artist had to get a real job, and the universe could only
9			be a better place.

98			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
99			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
100
101			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
102			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
103			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
104			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
105			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
106
107			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
108			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
109			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
110			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
111			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
112			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
113			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
114			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
115			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
116
117			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
118			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
119			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
120			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
121			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
122			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
123			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
124			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
125			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
126			maintainer.

1029			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1030			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1031			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1032			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1033
1034			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1035			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1036			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1037			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1038			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1039			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1040
1041			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1042
1043			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1044			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1045			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1046			from fascism period.
1047
1048			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1049			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1050			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1051			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1052			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1053			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1054			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1055			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1056			SIAE.
1057
1058			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1059			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1060			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1061			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1062			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1063			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing
1064			your petition (and you need at least 500, and with a REAL signs, not
1065			electronic ones

1068
1069			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1070			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1071			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1072			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1073			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1074			western country.
1075
1076			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1077			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1078			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1079			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1080			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1081			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1082			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1083			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,

1148			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1149
1150			Hi
1151
1152			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1153			someone here can advise me.
1154
1155			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1156			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1157			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1158			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1159			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1160
1161			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1162			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1163			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1164			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1165			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1166			corresponding thing in C?

1452			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1453			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1454			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1455			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1456			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1457			es nicht.
1458
1459			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1460			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1461			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1462			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1463			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1464			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1465
1466			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1467			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1468			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1469			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1470			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1471			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1472			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1473			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1474			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1475			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1476			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1477			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1478			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1479			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1480
1481			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1482			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1483			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1484			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1485			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1486			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1487			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1488
1489			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1490			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1491			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1492			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1493			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1494			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1495			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1496			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1497			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1498			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1499			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1500			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1501			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1502			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1503			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1504			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1505			alternativ' Idioten!
1506
1507			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1508			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1509			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1510			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1511			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1512			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1513			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1514			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1515			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1516			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1517			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1518			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1519			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1520			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1521
1522			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1523			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der

1527
1528			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1529			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1530			Dinge zu sagen:
1531
1532			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1533
1534			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1535			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1536			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1537			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1538			anfange.
1539
1540			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1541			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1542			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1543			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1544			dieser verdammten schule!

1547			die Welt zu bieten hat!

1552			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1553			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1554			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1555			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1556			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1557			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1558			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1559			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1560			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1561
1562			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1563			Einschulung.
1564
1565			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1566			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1567			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1568			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1569			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1570			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1571			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1572			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1573			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier

1862			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1863			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1864			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1865			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1866			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1867			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1868			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1869			companies want to own your computer.
1870
1871			Some examples:
1872
1873			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1874			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1875			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1876			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1877			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1878			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1879			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1880			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1881			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1882	root	1.432
1883	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1884			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1885			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1886			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1887			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1888
1889			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1890			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1891			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1892			from Microsoft? You can't.
1893
1894			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1895			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1896			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1897			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1898			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1899			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1900			adversely affect its business partners.
1901
1902			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1903			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1904			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1905			about your behavior.
1906
1907			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1908			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1909			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1910			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1911			presumed infractions.
1912
1913			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1914			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1915			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1916
1917			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1918			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1919			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1920			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1921			user's device against him.
1922			[...]
1923			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1924			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1925			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1926			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1927			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1928			back-room marketing deals.

2105			By Bertrand Russell
2106
2107			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2108			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2109			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2110			might be set forth as follows:
2111
2112			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2113
2114			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2115			evidence is sure to come to light.
2116
2117			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2118
2119			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2120			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2121			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2122
2123			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2124			contrary authorities to be found.
2125
2126			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2127			do the opinions will suppress you.
2128
2129			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2130			was once eccentric.
2131
2132			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2133			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2134			agreement than the latter.
2135
2136			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2137			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2138
2139			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2140			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

2978			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother

2981			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from

2983			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
2984			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
2985			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
2986			dates in bars but women laugh at you.

2991			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
2992			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
2993			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
2994			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
2995			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
2996			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
2997			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.

3129			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3130
3131			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3132			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3133			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3134			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3135			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3136			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3137			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3138			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3139			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3140			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3141			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3142			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3143			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3144			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3145			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3146			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3147			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3148			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3149			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3150			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3151			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3152			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3153			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3154			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3155
3156			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3157			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3158			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3159			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3160			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3161
3162			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3163			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3164			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3165			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3166			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3167			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3168			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3169			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3170			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3171			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3172			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3173
3174			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3175			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3176			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3177			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3178			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3179			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3180			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3181			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3182			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3183			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3184			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3185			sovereign nation.
3186
3187			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3188			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3189			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3190			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3191			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3192			CSPAN, don't post here.

3282			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3283			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3284			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have

3286			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be

3446	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3447			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3448
3449			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3450			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3451			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3452			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3453			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3454			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3455			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3456			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3457			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3458			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3459			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3460			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3461			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3462			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3463
3464			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3465			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3466			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3467			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3468			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3469			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3470			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4516			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4517			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4518			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4519			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4520			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4521			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4522			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4523			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4524			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4525			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4526			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4527			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4528			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4529			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4530			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4531			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4532			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You
4533			should know, though, that I myself am an historian, not a programmer.

4852	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4853			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4854			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4855			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4856			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4857			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4858			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4859
4860			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4861			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4862			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4863			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4864			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4865			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4866			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4867			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4868			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4869			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4870
4871			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4872			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4873			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4874			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5078			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5079			last until February 16th 2003.
5080
5081			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5082			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5083			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5084			end.
5085
5086			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5087
5088			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5089			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5090			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5091			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5092			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5093			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5094			take place on October 27th.
5095
5096			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5097			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5098			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5099			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the

5288			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5289			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5290			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5291			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5292			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the

5294			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently

5588			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
5589
5590			[...]
5591			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5592			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5593			of for Windows desktop systems."
5594			[...]
5595			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5596			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5597			[...]
5598			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5599			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5600			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5601			turned on by default.
5602			[...]
5603			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5604			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5605			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5606			[...]
5607			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5608			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5609			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5610			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5611			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5612			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5613			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5614			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5615			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

7027			Actually you can't ignore it or the processor will have a heart attack
7028			if the cached page mapping is used even speculatively. I've done some
7029			experimenting, if the page is mapped cached in one place, and UCWC in
7030			another, things will not work. Its extremely likely the processor will
7031			cease to function. Its not like having cached and uncached mappings of
7032			a page (which does work on the Intel processors, we use that feature in
7033			the agpgart and the DRM in fact.) When you mark a page UCWC, you better
7034			have removed all cached mappings or your asking for REAL trouble.

7302			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7303			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7304			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7309
7310			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7311			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7312			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7313			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7314			and they have to fix it.

8755
8756			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8757			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8758			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8759			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8760			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8761			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8762			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8763			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8764			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8765			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8766			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8767			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8768			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8769			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8770			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8771			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8772			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8773			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8774			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8775			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8776			work.
8777			[...]
8778			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8779			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8780			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8781			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8782			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8783			search generically - then it has some potential.
8784			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8785			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8786			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
8787			intellectual value whatsoever.

8910			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating

8914			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the

8917			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
8918			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
8919			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge

8921			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
8922			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long

8924			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
8925			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale

10794			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10795			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10796			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10797			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10798			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10799			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10800			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10801			humiliating for me!)
10802
10803			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10804			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10805			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10806			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10807			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10808			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10809			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10810			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10811			really knows the answer.
10812
10813			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10814			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10815			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10816			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10817
10818			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10819			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10820			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10821			for that.
10822
10823			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10824			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10825			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10826			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10827			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10828			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10829			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10830
10831			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10832
10833			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10834			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10835			something for free.''
10836
10837			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10838
10839			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10840			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10841
10842			(Good question.)
10843
10844			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10845			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10846			once I have run it.''
10847			(Good question.)
10848
10849			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10850
10851			(Good question.)
10852
10853			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10854			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10855			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10856			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10857			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10858
10859			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10860			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10861			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10862			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10863			comp.lang.perl?
10864			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10865			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10866			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10867			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10868			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10869			in comp.lang.perl?
10870
10871			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10872			you my rate card.
10873
10874			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10875			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10876			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10877			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10878			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10879			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10880			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10881			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10882			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10883			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10884
10885			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10886			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10887			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10888			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10889			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10890			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10891			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10892			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10893			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10894			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10895			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10896			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10897			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10898			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10899			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10900			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10901
10902			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10903			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10904			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10905			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10906			someone will. Maybe I will.
10907
10908			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10909			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10910			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10911			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10912			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10913			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10914			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10915			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10916
10917			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10918			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10919			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10920			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10921			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10922			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10923			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10924			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10925			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10926			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10927			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10928			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10929			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10930			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10931
10932			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10933			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10934			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10935			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10936
10937			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10938
10939			`I want to accomplish X.
10940
10941			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10942
10943			...
10944
10945			But instead it does Y.
10946
10947			Why is that?''
10948
10949			This one is also pretty good:
10950
10951			`I want to accomplish X.
10952			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10953
10954			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10955			because of Z.
10956
10957			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10958
10959			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
10960			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
10961
10962
10963			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
10964			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11026	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11027			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11028			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11029			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11030	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11031	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11032			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11033			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11034			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11035	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11036	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11037			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11038	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11039			nicht. ;)
11040
11041	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11042			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11043			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11044	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11045			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11046	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11047	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11048
11049	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11050			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11051	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom

11058			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11059	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

11123			between these:
11124
11125			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11126			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11127
11128			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11129			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11130			;#", and the print gets executed!
11131
11132			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11133			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11134			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11135			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).

11480			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11481			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11482			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11483			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11484			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11485			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original

11487			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11488			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11489			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11490			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11491			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
