39			when he’d been a kid, there had been a performance artist making
40			the rounds—Jila Sorormaya, her name was. As he recalled, she’d
41			intentionally corrupted data-storage devices and then put the data stream
42			through her music kit. She’d gotten into trouble when some of the
43			proprietary code of the storage device software got incorporated into her
44			music and posted. Miller hadn’t been a sophisticate. He’d figured

134
135			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
136			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
137
138			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
139			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
140			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
141			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
142			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
143
144			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
145			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
146			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
147			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
148			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
149			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
150			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
151			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
152			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
153
154			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
155			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
156			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
157			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
158			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
159			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
160			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
161			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
162			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
163			maintainer.

1066			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1067			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1068			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1069			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1070
1071			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1072			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1073			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1074			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1075			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1076			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1077
1078			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1079
1080			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1081			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1082			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1083			from fascism period.
1084
1085			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1086			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1087			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1088			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1089			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1090			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1091			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1092			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1093			SIAE.
1094
1095			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1096			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1097			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1098			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1099			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1100			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1105
1106			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1107			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1108			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1109			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1110			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1111			western country.
1112
1113			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1114			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1115			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1116			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1117			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1118			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1119			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1120			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
1121			also the governments of "center-left".

1185			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1186
1187			Hi
1188
1189			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1190			someone here can advise me.
1191
1192			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1193			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1194			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1195			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1196			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1197
1198			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1199			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1200			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1201			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1202			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1203			corresponding thing in C?

1489			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1490			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1491			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1492			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1493			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1494			es nicht.
1495
1496			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1497			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1498			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1499			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1500			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1501			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1502
1503			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1504			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1505			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1506			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1507			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1508			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1509			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1510			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1511			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1512			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1513			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1514			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1515			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1516			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1517
1518			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1519			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1520			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1521			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1522			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1523			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1524			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1525
1526			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1527			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1528			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1529			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1530			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1531			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1532			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1533			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1534			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1535			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1536			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1537			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1538			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1539			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1540			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1541			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1542			alternativ' Idioten!
1543
1544			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1545			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1546			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1547			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1548			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1549			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1550			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1551			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1552			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1553			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1554			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1555			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1556			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1557			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1558
1559			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1560			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1561			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

1564
1565			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1566			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1567			Dinge zu sagen:
1568
1569			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1570
1571			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1572			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1573			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1574			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1575			anfange.
1576
1577			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1578			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1579			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1580			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1581			dieser verdammten schule!

1584			die Welt zu bieten hat!

1589			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1590			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1591			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1592			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1593			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1594			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1595			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1596			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1597			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1598
1599			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1600			Einschulung.
1601
1602			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1603			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1604			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1605			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1606			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1607			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1608			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1609			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1610			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier

1621			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn

1899			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1900			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1901			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1902			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1903			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1904			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1905			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1906			companies want to own your computer.
1907
1908			Some examples:
1909
1910			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1911			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1912			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1913			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1914			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1915			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1916			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1917			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1918			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1919	root	1.432
1920	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1921			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1922			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1923			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1924			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1925
1926			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1927			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1928			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
1929			from Microsoft? You can't.
1930
1931			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
1932			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
1933			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
1934			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
1935			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
1936			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
1937			adversely affect its business partners.
1938
1939			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
1940			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
1941			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
1942			about your behavior.
1943
1944			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
1945			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
1946			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
1947			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
1948			presumed infractions.
1949
1950			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
1951			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
1952			Computing will only make the problem worse.
1953
1954			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
1955			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
1956			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
1957			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
1958			user's device against him.
1959			[...]
1960			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
1961			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
1962			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
1963			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
1964			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
1965			back-room marketing deals.

2145			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2146			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2147			might be set forth as follows:
2148
2149			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2150
2151			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2152			evidence is sure to come to light.
2153
2154			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2155
2156			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2157			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2158			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2159
2160			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2161			contrary authorities to be found.
2162
2163			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you

3012
3013			1. Windows
3014
3015			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother
3016			would let you ride a motorbike. You tell your friends you're pulling
3017			in $50,000 a year and $2,000 a month "playing the stock market" but
3018			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from
3019			MSFT havn't been good in years. Your non computing friends all turn
3020			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3021			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
3022			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
3023			dates in bars but women laugh at you.
3024
3025			2. Apple
3026
3027			You think you're so cool you hurt. You have mirrors on every wall
3028			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3029			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3030			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3031			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3032			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3033			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3034			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.
3035
3036			3. Linspire
3037
3038			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have
3039			too much money. Computers baffle you, but you enjoy looking at

3042			installed Linspire on your machine.

3049			knew it was for you. You meet with your friends in fair-trade coffee
3050			houses and talk about the eventual overthrow of evil corporations
3051			such as Microsoft and Starbucks. Like the Linspire user, you have
3052			very little real knowlege when it comes to computers but you would
3053			never use your computer to look at pictures of women degrading
3054			themselves.
3055
3056			5. Gentoy

3062			matchstick house will have an "optimised floorplan". They've tried
3063			to tell you that your house violates every known building code and
3064			law in your area, but you've ignored them so far because you can't
3065			read those complicated regulatory documents.

3071			matchsticks, you're planing to grow the trees to make the
3072			matchsticks. You've cleared some land but don't know what to do next
3073			because you havn't read the books you've got, so you've posted to
3074			alt.arborists.newbie asking for help. It's been three days so far
3075			and no one has replied. You remain hopeful.

3166			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3167
3168			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3169			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3170			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3171			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3172			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3173			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3174			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3175			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3176			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3177			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3178			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3179			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3180			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3181			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3182			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3183			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3184			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3185			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3186			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3187			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3188			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3189			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3190			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3191			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3192
3193			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3194			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3195			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3196			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3197			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3198
3199			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3200			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3201			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3202			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3203			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3204			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3205			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3206			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3207			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3208			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3209			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3210
3211			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3212			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3213			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3214			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3215			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3216			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3217			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3218			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3219			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3220			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3221			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3222			sovereign nation.
3223
3224			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3225			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3226			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3227			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3228			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3229			CSPAN, don't post here.

3278			linked together. Each of the agencies has the key to its own lock, and not
3279			the key to any of the others. Of course, anyone who can open one of the
3280			locks can open the gate.
3281
3282			This is a nice example of a multiple-user access-control system. It's
3283			simple, and it works. You can also make it as complicated as you want,
3284			with different locks in parallel and in series.

3290
3291			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3292
3293			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3294			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3295			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3296			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3297			explanation of this.
3298
3299			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3300
3301			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3302			which explains why the hammer falls.
3303
3304			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3305			how a population's genome can change over time.
3306
3307	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3308			mathematical relationship between two values.
3309	root	1.265
3310			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3311			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3312
3313			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3314			acceleration.
3315
3316			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3317			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3318			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3319			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3320			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3321			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3322			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3323			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3324			false.

3483	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3484			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3485
3486			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3487			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3488			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3489			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3490			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3491			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3492			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3493			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3494			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3495			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3496			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3497			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3498			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3499			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3500
3501			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3502			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3503			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3504			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3505			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3506			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3507			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

3646			This is a movie I would not recommend even to my worst enemy. It is a
3647			horrible picture, containing too much random violence and rape committed
3648			by four no-goods in white pyjamas, than is good for anyone too watch.
3649
3650			The only fun moment is when the main character, being brainwashed into a
3651			non-violent state of mind, is being bashed by his former friends.
3652
3653			There may be some "hidden message" in this movie about society and blah,
3654			but the message (not too well brought) is completely drowned.
3655
3656			It is not even a waste of your time, it is worse than that. Avoid at all
3657			cost.

4553			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4554			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4555			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4556			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4557			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4558			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4559			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4560			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4561			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4562			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4563			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4564			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4565			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4566			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4567			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4568			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4569			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4889	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4890			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4891			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4892			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4893			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4894			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4895			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4896
4897			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4898			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4899			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4900			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4901			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4902			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4903			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4904			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4905			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4906			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4907
4908			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4909			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4910			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4911			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5115			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5116			last until February 16th 2003.
5117
5118			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5119			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5120			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5121			end.
5122
5123			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5124
5125			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5126			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5127			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5128			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5129			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5130			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5131			take place on October 27th.
5132
5133			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5134			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5135			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5136			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5137			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5138			the clock)...

5322			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5323			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5324			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5325			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5326			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5327			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5328			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5329			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5330			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5331			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5332			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

5625			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
5626
5627			[...]
5628			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5629			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5630			of for Windows desktop systems."
5631			[...]
5632			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5633			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5634			[...]
5635			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5636			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5637			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5638			turned on by default.
5639			[...]
5640			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5641			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5642			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5643			[...]
5644			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5645			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5646			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5647			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5648			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5649			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5650			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5651			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5652			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

7338
7339			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7340			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7341			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7344			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7345			do the right thing.
7346
7347			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7348			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7349			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7350			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7351			and they have to fix it.

8252
8253			It really doesn't bother me if people want to use grep or map in a void
8254			context. It didn't bother me before there was a for modifier, and
8255			now that there is one, it still doesn't bother me. I'm just not very
8256			easy to bother.
8257
8258			The argument against using an operator for other than its primary
8259			purpose strikes me the same as the old argument that you shouldn't have
8260			sex for other than procreational purposes. Sometimes side effects
8261			are more enjoyable than the originally intended effect.
8262
8263			That being said, I'd never grep someone in a void context myself.

8276			Since it is very difficult to find wood on Antarctica, typically
8277			penguins are used to light the fire (due to their fat, they burn well).
8278			I also woudln't use any water, the penguins are fried fine in their own

8280

8283			with killing the penguins before setting them on fire. I'm glad this

8792
8793			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8794			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8795			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8796			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8797			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8798			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8799			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8800			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8801			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8802			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8803			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8804			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8805			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8806			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8807			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8808			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8809			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8810			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8811			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8812			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8813			work.
8814			[...]
8815			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8816			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8817			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8818			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8819			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8820			search generically - then it has some potential.
8821			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8822			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8823			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
8824			intellectual value whatsoever.

8955			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent

8962			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale

10823			Subject: Re: system() question
10824
10825			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10826			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10827			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10828			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10829			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10830			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10831			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10832			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10833			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10834			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10835			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10836			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10837			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10838			humiliating for me!)
10839
10840			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10841			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10842			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10843			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10844			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10845			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10846			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10847			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10848			really knows the answer.
10849
10850			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10851			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10852			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10853			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10854
10855			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10856			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10857			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10858			for that.
10859
10860			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10861			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10862			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10863			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10864			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10865			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10866			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10867
10868			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10869
10870			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10871			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10872			something for free.''
10873
10874			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10875
10876			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10877			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10878
10879			(Good question.)
10880
10881			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10882			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10883			once I have run it.''
10884			(Good question.)
10885
10886			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10887
10888			(Good question.)
10889
10890			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10891			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10892			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10893			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10894			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10895
10896			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10897			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10898			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10899			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10900			comp.lang.perl?
10901			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10902			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10903			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10904			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10905			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10906			in comp.lang.perl?
10907
10908			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10909			you my rate card.
10910
10911			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10912			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10913			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10914			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10915			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10916			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10917			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10918			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10919			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10920			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10921
10922			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10923			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10924			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10925			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10926			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10927			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10928			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
10929			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
10930			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
10931			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
10932			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
10933			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
10934			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
10935			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
10936			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
10937			off his finger or something. I dunno.
10938
10939			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
10940			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
10941			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
10942			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
10943			someone will. Maybe I will.
10944
10945			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
10946			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
10947			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
10948			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
10949			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
10950			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
10951			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
10952			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
10953
10954			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
10955			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
10956			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
10957			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
10958			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
10959			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
10960			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
10961			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
10962			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
10963			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
10964			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
10965			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
10966			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
10967			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
10968
10969			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
10970			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
10971			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
10972			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
10973
10974			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
10975
10976			`I want to accomplish X.
10977
10978			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
10979
10980			...
10981
10982			But instead it does Y.
10983
10984			Why is that?''
10985
10986			This one is also pretty good:
10987
10988			`I want to accomplish X.
10989			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
10990
10991			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
10992			because of Z.
10993
10994			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
10995
10996			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
10997			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
10998
10999
11000			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11001			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11063	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11064			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11065			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11066			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11067	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11068	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11069			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11070			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11071			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11072	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11073	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11074			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11075	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11076			nicht. ;)
11077
11078	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11079			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11080			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11081	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11082			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11083	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11084	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11085
11086	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11087			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11088	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11089	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder

11095			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11096	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

11161
11162			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11163			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11164
11165			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11166			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3

11168
11169			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11170			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11171			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy

11517			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11518			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11519			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11520			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11521			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11522			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original

11524			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11525			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in

11527			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11528			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
