205
206			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
207			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
208
209			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
210			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
211			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
212			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
213			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
214
215			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
216			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
217			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
218			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
219			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
220			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
221			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
222			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
223			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
224
225			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
226			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
227			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
228			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
229			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
230			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
231			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
232			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
233			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
234			maintainer.

1137			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1138			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1139			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1140			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1141
1142			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1143			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1144			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1145			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1146			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1147			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)

1150
1151			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1152			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1153			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1154			from fascism period.
1155
1156			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1157			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1158			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1159			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1160			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1161			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1162			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1163			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1164			SIAE.
1165
1166			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1167			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1168			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1169			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1170			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1171			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1177			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we

1179			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1180			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1181			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1182			western country.
1183
1184			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1185			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1186			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1187			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1188			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1189			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved

1257
1258			Hi
1259
1260			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1261			someone here can advise me.
1262
1263			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1264			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1265			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1266			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1267			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1268
1269			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1270			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1271			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1272			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1273			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

1560			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1561			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1562			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1563			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1564			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1565			es nicht.
1566
1567			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1568			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1569			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1570			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1571			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1572			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1573
1574			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1575			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1576			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1577			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1578			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1579			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1580			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1581			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1582			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1583			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1584			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1585			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1586			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1587			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1588
1589			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1590			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1591			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1592			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1593			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1594			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1595			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1596
1597			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1598			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1599			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1600			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
1601			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
1602			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
1603			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
1604			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
1605			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
1606			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
1607			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
1608			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
1609			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
1610			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
1611			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
1612			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
1613			alternativ' Idioten!
1614
1615			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
1616			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
1617			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
1618			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
1619			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
1620			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
1621			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
1622			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
1623			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
1624			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
1625			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
1626			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
1627			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
1628			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
1629
1630			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
1631			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
1632			Ausgestossenen beitragen!
1633
1634			Ich will R A C H E !
1635
1636			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
1637			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
1638			Dinge zu sagen:
1639
1640			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
1641
1642			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
1643			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
1644			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
1645			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
1646			anfange.
1647
1648			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
1649			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
1650			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
1651			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
1652			dieser verdammten schule!
1653
1654			Das Leben wie es heute täglich stattfindet ist wohl das armseeligste was
1655			die Welt zu bieten hat!
1656
1657			S.A.A.R.T. - Schule, Ausbildung, Arbeit, Rente, Tod
1658
1659			Das ist der Lebenslauf eines "normalen" Menschen heutzutage. Aber
1660			was ist eigentlich normal? Als normal wird das bezeichnet, was von der
1661			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
1662			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
1663			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
1664			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
1665			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
1666			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
1667			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
1668			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!
1669
1670			S.A.A.R.T. beginnt mit dem 6. Lebensjahr hier in Deutschland, mit der
1671			Einschulung.
1672
1673			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
1674			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
1675			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
1676			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
1677			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
1678			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
1679			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
1680			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine
1681			Freiheit! Und sowas nennt man dann Volksherrschaft. Wenn das Volk hier
1682			herrschen würde, hiesse es Anarchie!
1683
1684			WERDET ENDLICH WACH - GEHT AUF DIE STRASSE - DAS HAT IN DEUTSCHLAND
1685			SCHONMAL FUNKTIONIERT!
1686
1687			Nach meiner Tat werden wieder irgendwelche fetten Politiker dumme
1688			Sprüche klopfen wie "Wir halten nun alle zusammen" oder "Wir
1689			müssen gemeinsam versuchen dies durchzustehen". Doch das machen
1690			sie nur um Aufmerksmakeit zu bekommen, um sich selbst als die Lösung
1691			zu präsentieren. Auf der GSS war es genauso... niemals lässt
1692			sich dieses fette Stück Scheisse von Rektorin blicken, aber wenn
1693			Theater-aufführungen sind, dann steht sie als erste mit einem breiten
1694			Grinsen auf der Bühne und präsentiert sich der Masse!
1695
1696			Nazis, HipHoper, Türken, Staat, Staatsdiener, Gläubige... einfach alle
1697			sind zum kotzen und müssen vernichtet werden! (Den begriff "Türken"
1698			benutze ich für alle HipHopMuchels und Kleingangster; Sie kommen nach
1699			Deutschland weil die Bedingungen bei ihnen zu hause zu schlecht sind,
1700			weil Krieg ist... und dann kommen Sie nach Deutschland, dem Sozialamt der
1701			Welt, und lassne hier die Sau raus. Sie sollten alle vergast werden! Keine
1702			Juden, keine Neger, keine Holländer, aber Muchels! ICH BIN KEIN SCHEISS
1703			NAZI) Ich hasse euch und eure Art! Ihr müsst alle sterben!
1704
1705			Seit meinem 6. Lebensjahr wurde ich von euch allen verarscht! Nun müsst
1706			ihr dafür bezahlen!
1707
1708			Weil ich weiss das die Fascholizei meine Videos, Schulhefte, Tagebücher,
1709			einfach alles, nicht veröffentlichen will, habe ich das selbst in die
1710			Hand genommen.
1711
1712			Als letztes möchte ich den Menschen die mir was bedeuten, oder die jemals
1713			gut zu mir waren, danken, und mich für all dies Entschuldigen!

1970			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
1971			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
1972			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
1973			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
1974			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
1975			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
1976			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
1977			companies want to own your computer.
1978
1979			Some examples:
1980
1981			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
1982			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
1983			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
1984			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
1985			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
1986			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
1987			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
1988			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
1989			wanting to own its customers' machines.
1990	root	1.432
1991	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
1992			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
1993			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
1994			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
1995			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
1996
1997			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
1998			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
1999			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2000			from Microsoft? You can't.
2001
2002			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2003			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2004			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2005			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2006			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2007			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2008			adversely affect its business partners.
2009
2010			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2011			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2012			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2013			about your behavior.
2014
2015			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2016			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2017			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2018			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2019			presumed infractions.
2020
2021			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2022			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2023			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2024
2025			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2026			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2027			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2028			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2029			user's device against him.
2030			[...]
2031			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2032			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2033			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2034			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2035			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2036			back-room marketing deals.

2213			By Bertrand Russell
2214
2215			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2216			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2217			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2218			might be set forth as follows:
2219
2220			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2221
2222			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2223			evidence is sure to come to light.
2224
2225			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2226
2227			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2228			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2229			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2230
2231			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2232			contrary authorities to be found.
2233
2234			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2235			do the opinions will suppress you.
2236
2237			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2238			was once eccentric.
2239
2240			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2241			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2242			agreement than the latter.
2243
2244			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2245			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2246
2247			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2248			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."
2249
2250			"A Liberal Decalogue" is from The Autobiography of Bertrand Russell,
2251			Vol. 3: 1944-1969, pp. 71-2.

3085
3086			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother

3088			in $50,000 a year and $2,000 a month "playing the stock market" but
3089			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from
3090			MSFT havn't been good in years. Your non computing friends all turn
3091			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3092			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
3093			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
3094			dates in bars but women laugh at you.
3095
3096			2. Apple
3097
3098			You think you're so cool you hurt. You have mirrors on every wall
3099			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3100			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3101			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3102			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3103			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3104			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3105			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.
3106
3107			3. Linspire
3108
3109			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have
3110			too much money. Computers baffle you, but you enjoy looking at
3111			pictures of naked women. You don't know what Linux is, but you
3112			continually bugged the IT guy at work about your computer so he
3113			installed Linspire on your machine.

3120			knew it was for you. You meet with your friends in fair-trade coffee
3121			houses and talk about the eventual overthrow of evil corporations
3122			such as Microsoft and Starbucks. Like the Linspire user, you have
3123			very little real knowlege when it comes to computers but you would
3124			never use your computer to look at pictures of women degrading
3125			themselves.
3126
3127			5. Gentoy

3129			You've been "into computers" for ohh, one or two years now and fancy
3130			yourself as "a bit of a hacker". Wouldn't know C from C++, or even

3132			from matchsticks. You've explained to all your friends that your
3133			matchstick house will have an "optimised floorplan". They've tried
3134			to tell you that your house violates every known building code and
3135			law in your area, but you've ignored them so far because you can't
3136			read those complicated regulatory documents.

3142			matchsticks, you're planing to grow the trees to make the
3143			matchsticks. You've cleared some land but don't know what to do next
3144			because you havn't read the books you've got, so you've posted to
3145			alt.arborists.newbie asking for help. It's been three days so far

3237			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3238
3239			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3240			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3241			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3242			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3243			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3244			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3245			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3246			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3247			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3248			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3249			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3250			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3251			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3252			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3253			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3254			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3255			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3256			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3257			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3258			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3259			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3260			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3261			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3262			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3263
3264			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3265			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3266			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3267			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3268			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3269
3270			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3271			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3272			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3273			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3274			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3275			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3276			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3277			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3278			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3279			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of

3361
3362			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3363
3364			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3365			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3366			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3367			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3368			explanation of this.
3369
3370			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3371
3372			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3373			which explains why the hammer falls.
3374
3375			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3376			how a population's genome can change over time.
3377
3378	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a

3381			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the

3383
3384			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3385			acceleration.
3386
3387			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3388			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3389			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3390			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3391			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3392			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3393			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3394			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3395			false.

3555			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3556
3557			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3558			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3559			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3560			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3561			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3562			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3563			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3564			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3565			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3566			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3567			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3568			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3569			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3570			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3571
3572			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3573			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3574			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3575			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3576			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3577			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3578			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

4624			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
4625			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
4626			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
4627			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
4628			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
4629			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
4630			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
4631			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
4632			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
4633			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
4634			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
4635			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
4636			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
4637			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
4638			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
4639			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
4640			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

4960	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
4961			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
4962			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
4963			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
4964			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
4965			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
4966			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
4967
4968			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
4969			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
4970			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
4971			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
4972			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
4973			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
4974			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
4975			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
4976			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
4977			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
4978
4979			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
4980			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
4981			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
4982			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5186			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5187			last until February 16th 2003.
5188
5189			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5190			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5191			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5192			end.
5193
5194			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5195
5196			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5197			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5198			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5199			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5200			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5201			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5202			take place on October 27th.
5203
5204			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5205			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5206			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5207			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5208			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5209			the clock)...

5393			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5394			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5395			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5396			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5397			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5398			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5399			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5400			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5401			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5402			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5403			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

5697
5698			[...]
5699			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
5700			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
5701			of for Windows desktop systems."
5702			[...]
5703			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
5704			months before Microsoft released its patch.
5705			[...]
5706			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
5707			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
5708			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
5709			turned on by default.
5710			[...]
5711			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
5712			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
5713			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
5714			[...]
5715			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
5716			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
5717			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
5718			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
5719			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
5720			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
5721			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
5722			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
5723			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

5918			Windows XP is dramatically more secure than Windows 2000 or any of the
5919			prior systems. Buffer overflow has been one of the attacks frequently used
5920			on the Internet. We have gone through all code and, in an automated way,
5921			found places where there could be buffer overflow, and those have been
5922			removed in Windows XP.
5923
5924			We have also turned off by default a whole set of things so that users are
5925			configured in a minimalist kind of way, making them less vulnerable. We

5930			The result is that users can't make intelligent decisions on
5931			security. Here's one example: A few months ago, security researcher Niels
5932			Ferguson found a security flaw in Intel's HDCP Digital Video Encryption
5933			System, but withheld publication out of fear of being prosecuted under the

7409
7410			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7411			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7412			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7413			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7414			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7415			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7416			do the right thing.
7417
7418			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7419			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7420			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7421			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7422			and they have to fix it.

8863
8864			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
8865			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
8866			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
8867			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
8868			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
8869			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
8870			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
8871			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
8872			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
8873			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
8874			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
8875			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
8876			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
8877			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
8878			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
8879			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
8880			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
8881			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
8882			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
8883			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
8884			work.
8885			[...]
8886			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
8887			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
8888			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
8889			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
8890			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
8891			search generically - then it has some potential.
8892			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
8893			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
8894			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no

9540			Jean-Louis provides four arguments in favor of the overloading of the
9541			logical && and \|\| operators. Here they are:
9542
9543			+------------------------------------------+
9544			\| Other languages, notably C++, permit it. \|
9545			+------------------------------------------+
9546
9547			This one is hardly persuasive. Many languages do innumerable things
9548			that Perl does not do. Just for example, take:
9549
9550			* Csh reparses and re-evals interpolated strings, allowing something
9551			like C<$cmd $var> to do interesting things.
9552			* The Fortran lexer (as it were), having no need of white space to
9553			infer tokens, allows C<DO I=1.10> and C<DO I=1,10> to coexist in an
9554			interesting way.
9555			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,
9556			allowing expressions like (X < Y < Z) to do interesting things.
9557			* Scheme has call-with-continuation, allowing co-routines to do
9558			interesting things.
9559			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that
9560			language, allowing parameterized meta-classes to do interesting
9561			things.

10015			Mary Green's car was smoking. She got worried. "Whatever should I do?"
10016			worried Mary... Well, as she drove along she noticed a florists shop. "Aha!
10017			Thought Mary, "Flour shops are full of thoughtless men who need to apologize to
10018			their wives. These men are the sometimes the same ones I see swearing under
10019			the hoods of their cars in the shade of a tree."
10020
10021			"Brrring" said the bell of the door to the flower shop as Mary poked her head
10022			through the door.
10023			"HELP!!! MY CAR IS SMOKING!" Screamed Mary.
10024			"There is a garage right next door." Said the shopkeeper.
10025			"That's right," Said Melvin, "And there is a parts store across the street. If
10026			you ask for Fred, he's pretty savvy about that kind of stuff."
10027			Now Joe was also in the flower store. This was his first time in trouble, so
10028			he did not hear the 30 or 40 people per day who came in screaming about their
10029			cars smoking (mostly men, of course -- the ones under the shade trees,
10030			usually.)
10031
10032			"Why don't you help the stinking lady!!" Screamed Joe. "It might be your
10033			muffler bearings..." he continued. Or maybe it's your deisel glow plugs or
10034			your tire pressure..."
10035			Now Tim, also new to the flower shop felt the courage to chime in, "Or it could

10037			"My car smoked once and it was an oil leak, where the head gasket was spraying

10893			Date: 09 Nov 1995 02:57:30 GMT
10894			Subject: Re: system() question
10895
10896			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
10897			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
10898			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
10899			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
10900			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
10901			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
10902			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
10903			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
10904			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
10905			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
10906			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
10907			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
10908			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
10909			humiliating for me!)
10910
10911			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
10912			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
10913			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
10914			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
10915			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
10916			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
10917			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
10918			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
10919			really knows the answer.
10920
10921			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
10922			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
10923			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
10924			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
10925
10926			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
10927			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
10928			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
10929			for that.
10930
10931			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
10932			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
10933			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
10934			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
10935			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
10936			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
10937			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
10938
10939			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
10940
10941			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
10942			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
10943			something for free.''
10944
10945			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
10946
10947			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
10948			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
10949
10950			(Good question.)
10951
10952			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
10953			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
10954			once I have run it.''
10955			(Good question.)
10956
10957			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
10958
10959			(Good question.)
10960
10961			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
10962			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
10963			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
10964			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
10965			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
10966
10967			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
10968			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
10969			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
10970			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
10971			comp.lang.perl?
10972			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
10973			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
10974			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
10975			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
10976			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
10977			in comp.lang.perl?
10978
10979			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
10980			you my rate card.
10981
10982			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
10983			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
10984			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
10985			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
10986			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
10987			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
10988			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
10989			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
10990			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
10991			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
10992
10993			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
10994			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
10995			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
10996			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
10997			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
10998			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
10999			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11000			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11001			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11002			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11003			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11004			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11005			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11006			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11007			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11008			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11009
11010			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11011			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11012			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11013			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11014			someone will. Maybe I will.
11015
11016			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11017			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11018			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11019			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11020			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11021			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11022			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11023			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11024
11025			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11026			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11027			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11028			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11029			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11030			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11031			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11032			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11033			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11034			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11035			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11036			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11037			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11038			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11039
11040			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11041			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11042			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11043			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11044
11045			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11046
11047			`I want to accomplish X.
11048
11049			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11050
11051			...
11052
11053			But instead it does Y.
11054
11055			Why is that?''
11056
11057			This one is also pretty good:
11058
11059			`I want to accomplish X.
11060			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11061
11062			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11063			because of Z.
11064
11065			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11066
11067			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11068			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11069
11070
11071			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11072			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11134	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11135			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11136			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11137			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11138	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11139	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11140			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11141			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11142			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11143	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11144	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer

11148
11149	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11150			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11151			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11152	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11153			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11154	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11155	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11156
11157	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11158			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11159	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom

11220			The Unix shell as a 4GL
11221
11222			Unix provides hundreds of programs that can be piped together to easily
11223			perform almost any function imaginable. Nothing comes close to providing the
11224			functions that come standard with Unix. Programs and philosophies carried
11225			over from other systems put walls between the user and Unix, and the power
11226			of Unix is thrown away. The shell, extended with a few relational operators,
11227			is the fourth generation database scripting language most appropriate to the
11228			Unix environment.

11230	root	1.1	Perl is incredibly difficult to parse. For example, what's the difference
11231			between these:
11232
11233			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11234			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11235
11236			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11237			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11238			;#", and the print gets executed!
11239
11240			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11241			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11242			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11243			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11244
11245			Which led Larry to say at one point: "the only thing that can parse Perl is
11246			'perl'".

11589			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11590			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11591			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11592			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11593			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
11594			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
11595			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
11596			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
11597			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
11598			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
11599			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
11600			scale than would initially seem to be the case.

11627			It has no decent support for string processing, allowing you to spend

11629			to make sure you don't try anything interesting. It makes sure that you
11630			use objects, by golly, because James Gosling said so. It's easy for C++
