7			The IETF, obviously fearing irrelevance, hastily "discovered" that the
8			HTTP/1.1 protocol needed an update, and tasked a working group with
9			preparing it on an unrealistically short schedule. This ruled out any
10			basis for the new HTTP/2.0 other than the SPDY protocol. With only
11			the most hideous of SPDY's warts removed, and all other attempts at
12			improvement rejected as "not in scope," "too late," or "no consensus," the
13			IETF can now claim relevance and victory by conceding practically every
14			principle ever held dear in return for the privilege of rubber-stamping
15			Google's initiative.

37	root	1.470	Dana Angluin's List of Proof Techniques
38
39			Proof by example:
40			The author gives only the case n=2 and suggests that it contains most
41			of the ideas of the general proof.
42
43			Proof by intimidation:
44			'Trivial.'
45
46			Proof by vigorous handwaving:
47			Works well in a classroom or seminar setting.
48
49			Proof by cumbersome notation:
50			Best done with access to at least four alphabets and special symbols.
51
52			Proof by exhaustion:
53			An issue or two of a journal devoted to your proof is useful.
54
55			Proof by omission:
56			'The reader may easily supply the details.'
57			'The other 253 cases are analogous.'
58			'...'
59
60			Proof by obfuscation:
61			A long plotless sequence of true and/or meaningless syntactically
62			related statements.
63
64			Proof by wishful citation:
65			The author cites the negation, converse, or generalization of a theorem
66			from the literature to support his claims.
67
68			Proof by funding:
69			How could three different government agencies be wrong?
70
71			Proof by eminent authority:
72			'I saw Karp in the elevator and he said it was probably NP-complete.'
73
74			Proof by personal communication:
75			'Eight-dimensional colored cycle stripping is NP-complete' [Karp,
76			personal commmunication].
77
78			Proof by reduction to the wrong problem:
79			'To see that infinite-dimensional colored cycle stripping is decidable,
80			we reduce it to the halting problem.'
81
82			Proof by reference to inaccessible literature:
83			The author cites a simple corollary of a theorem to be found in a
84			privately circulated memoir of the Slovenian Philological Society,
85			1883.
86
87			Proof by importance:
88			A large body of useful consequences all follow from the proposition in question.
89
90			Proof by accumulated evidence:
91			Long and diligent search has not revealed a counterexample.
92
93			Proof by cosmology:
94			The negation of the proposition is unimaginable or meaningless. Popular
95			for proofs of the existence of God.
96
97			Proof by mutual reference:
98			In reference A, Theorem 5 is said to follow from Theorem 3 in reference
99			B, which is shown to follow from Corollary 6.2 in reference C, which is
100			an easy consequence of Theorem 5 in reference A.
101
102			Proof by meta-proof:
103			A method is given to construct the desired proof. The correctness of
104			the method is proved by any of these techniques.
105
106			Proof by picture:
107			A more convincing form of proof by example. Combines well with proof by omission.
108
109			Proof by vehement assertion:
110			It is useful to have some kind of authority relation to the audience.
111
112			Proof by ghost reference:
113			Nothing even remotely resembling the cited theorem appears in the reference given.
114
115			Proof by forward reference:
116			Reference is usually to a forthcoming paper of the author, which is
117			often not as forthcoming as at first.
118
119			Proof by semantic shift:
120			Some standard but inconvenient definitions are changed for the
121			statement of the result.
122
123			Proof by appeal to intuition:
124			Cloud-shaped drawings frequently help here.
125
126			Proof by elimination of the counterexample:
127			'Assume for the moment that the hypothesis is true. Now, let's
128			suppose we find a counterexample. So what? QED.' (from Don Woods
129			<DON@SU-AI.ARPA>)

144

147			In general, Wayland is moving away from the modularity, portability, and standardization of the X server.
148

150			%
151			The Wayland "reference implementation" is a small set of libraries that
152			can be used to build a compositor or a client application. These libraries
153			currently have hard dependencies on Linux kernel APIs like epoll. In
154			pkgsrc we've patched the libraries to add kqueue(2) support, but the
155			patches haven't been accepted upstream. Wayland is written with the
156			assumption of Linux to the extent that every client application tends to
157			#include <linux/input.h> because Wayland's designers didn't see the need
158			to define a OS-neutral way to get mouse button IDs.

162	root	1.468	As best I can tell (from the long and unsatisfactory thread I pursed on
163			the Wayland Developers list some little time ago), the core issue with
164			Wayland and Color is social, not technical:
165
166			1. none of the key developers have the faintest idea what Color or Color
167			Management is, and (worse):
168
169			2. they have no idea why it would be at all important.

172			%
173			> (isn't it the case with ifconfig vs. ip already?)
174
175			Wayland is more like they created ip but named the command ifconfig, then
176			told you to go fix your scripts.
177
178			If the Wayland developers had sense, they would have carefully considered
179			how to make it a seemless transition for developers. Instead, they decided
180			they were the ultimate authority on software engineering and screw
181			developers, they are all doing it wrong anyways.

604
605			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
606			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
607
608			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
609			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
610			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
611			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
612			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
613
614			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
615			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
616			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
617			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
618			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
619			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
620			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
621			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
622			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
623
624			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
625			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
626			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
627			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
628			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
629			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
630			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
631			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
632			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
633			maintainer.

1536			@youruncledarnell: First, sorry for my very bad English. Yes, the
1537			majority of Italians are totally idiot, otherwise the Prime Minister
1538			wouldn't be Silvio Berlusconi, and of course also the justice is not
1539			only politicized, but also spectacularized.
1540
1541			Not only. We've the only nation in all EU having a State-controlled
1542			corporation on copyright (SIAE). This corporation have also hated
1543			by a lot of artists, Italian and foreigner, 'cause the division of
1544			funds is "strange". If some of you can understand a lot of Italian, I
1545			suggest viewing an old service on Italian TV program "Report" talking
1546			on SIAE. You can read and viewing it on this url (sorry for long url)
1547
1548			http://www.report.rai.it/R2_popup_articolofoglia/0,7246,243%255E90082,00.html
1549
1550			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1551			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1552			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1553			from fascism period.
1554
1555			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1556			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1557			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1558			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1559			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1560			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1561			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1562			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1563			SIAE.
1564
1565			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1566			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1567			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1568			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1569			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1570			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1575
1576			Then, only parties have sufficient funds for these things, and we
1577			don't have a party sufficiently interested in freedom of speech
1578			(on internet and not). 'Cause limiting Freedom of Speech included
1579			CONTROL. We've the last western country in Freedom of Speech (at least
1580			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in
1581			western country.
1582
1583			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1584			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1585			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last
1586			elections, with an absurd law on elections, other parties have been
1587			deleted from parliament. Now we've only two main coalitions, the
1588			Berlusconi's one and the Veltroni's one. All of them have approved
1589			laws against freedom on internet, and generally against technology
1590			innovations. For these reason, all the last governments are fascists,
1591			also the governments of "center-left".

1655			Subject: Avoiding dereference of NULL pointer
1656
1657			Hi
1658
1659			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1660			someone here can advise me.
1661
1662			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1663			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1664			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1665			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1666			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1667
1668			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1669			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1670			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1671			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1672			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the
1673			corresponding thing in C?

1959			Wenn man weiss, dass man in seinem Leben nicht mehr Glücklich werden
1960			kann, und sich von Tag zu Tag die Gründe dafür häufen, dann bleibt
1961			einem nichts anderes übrig als aus diesem Leben zu verschwinden. Und
1962			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten
1963			weiter gemacht, hätten sich gedacht "das wird schon", aber das wird
1964			es nicht.
1965
1966			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu
1967			lernen, um später ein schönes Leben führen zu können. Aber was bringt
1968			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
1969			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
1970			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
1971			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
1972
1973			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
1974			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
1975			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
1976			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
1977			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
1978			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
1979			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
1980			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
1981			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
1982			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
1983			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
1984			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
1985			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
1986			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
1987
1988			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
1989			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
1990			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
1991			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
1992			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
1993			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
1994			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
1995
1996			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
1997			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
1998			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
1999			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
2000			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
2001			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
2002			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
2003			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
2004			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
2005			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
2006			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
2007			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
2008			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
2009			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
2010			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
2011			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
2012			alternativ' Idioten!
2013
2014			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
2015			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
2016			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
2017			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
2018			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
2019			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
2020			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
2021			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
2022			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
2023			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
2024			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
2025			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
2026			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
2027			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
2028
2029			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will
2030			nicht länger davon laufen! Ich will meinen Teil zur Revolution der
2031			Ausgestossenen beitragen!

2034
2035			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
2036			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
2037			Dinge zu sagen:
2038
2039			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
2040
2041			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
2042			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
2043			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
2044			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
2045			anfange.
2046
2047			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
2048			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
2049			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
2050			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
2051			dieser verdammten schule!

2060			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
2061			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
2062			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
2063			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
2064			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
2065			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
2066			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
2067			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!

2070			Einschulung.
2071
2072			Das Kind begibt sich auf seine perönliche Sozialisationsstrecke, und
2073			wird in den darauffolgenden Jahren gezwungen sich der Allgemeinheit, der
2074			Mehrheit anzupassen. Lehnt es dies ab, schalten sich Lehrer, Eltern,
2075			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
2076			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
2077			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu
2078			zahlen, man wird gezwungen Geschwindigkeitsbegrenzungen einzuhalten, man
2079			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine

2213			tell) seems to have been by Matthew Bourland in 2000, who although he
2214			didn't actually kill everything, certainly genocided all (at the time) 256
2215			monster types that were genocidable. Then, after that he extincted all
2216			other randomly generated monsters. On the other hand, having 120 kills
2217			in every category is perhaps more noteworthy (or foolhardy?) than simply
2218			genociding every monster.
2219
2220			I'd recommend a dose of both. Kill them until they're dead and then
2221			genocide them for good measure!

2369			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2370			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2371			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2372			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2373			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2374			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2375			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2376			companies want to own your computer.
2377
2378			Some examples:
2379
2380			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2381			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2382			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2383			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2384			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2385			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2386			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2387			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2388			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2389	root	1.432
2390	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2391			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2392			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2393			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2394			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2395
2396			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2397			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2398			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2399			from Microsoft? You can't.
2400
2401			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2402			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2403			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2404			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2405			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2406			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2407			adversely affect its business partners.
2408
2409			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2410			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2411			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2412			about your behavior.
2413
2414			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2415			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2416			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2417			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2418			presumed infractions.
2419
2420			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2421			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2422			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2423
2424			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2425			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2426			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2427			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2428			user's device against him.
2429			[...]
2430			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2431			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2432			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2433			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2434			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2435			back-room marketing deals.

3482
3483			1. Windows
3484
3485			You wear wraparound sunglasses, even indoors. You wish your mother
3486			would let you ride a motorbike. You tell your friends you're pulling
3487			in $50,000 a year and $2,000 a month "playing the stock market" but
3488			in reality you're only bringing in half that and your dividends from
3489			MSFT havn't been good in years. Your non computing friends all turn
3490			to you for help; you only charge $30 an hour. Your collegues talk
3491			about you behind your back. Your workplace nickname is likely to be
3492			"The Asshole". Unlike the Linux fanboys, you actually try to pick up
3493			dates in bars but women laugh at you.
3494
3495			2. Apple
3496
3497			You think you're so cool you hurt. You have mirrors on every wall
3498			in your "loft apartment", which is really a grimy little apartment
3499			next to a guy who plays Guns 'n Roses at 3am. All of your furniture
3500			is from Ikea. You sometimes think that changing your name to "Steve"
3501			would be "pretty cool". When you go to bars you only drink Miller
3502			Lite. No body ever asks you for help with their computers because
3503			they know you don't know anything but OS X, even if you do tell them
3504			you "run Unix" now. Your friends openly laugh at you.
3505
3506			3. Linspire
3507
3508			You regularly give $10 bills to homeless guys because you have
3509			too much money. Computers baffle you, but you enjoy looking at
3510			pictures of naked women. You don't know what Linux is, but you

3512			installed Linspire on your machine.

3519			knew it was for you. You meet with your friends in fair-trade coffee
3520			houses and talk about the eventual overthrow of evil corporations
3521			such as Microsoft and Starbucks. Like the Linspire user, you have
3522			very little real knowlege when it comes to computers but you would
3523			never use your computer to look at pictures of women degrading
3524			themselves.
3525
3526			5. Gentoy
3527
3528			You've been "into computers" for ohh, one or two years now and fancy
3529			yourself as "a bit of a hacker". Wouldn't know C from C++, or even
3530			Perl for that matter. Older Gentoy users may be building their homes
3531			from matchsticks. You've explained to all your friends that your
3532			matchstick house will have an "optimised floorplan". They've tried
3533			to tell you that your house violates every known building code and
3534			law in your area, but you've ignored them so far because you can't
3535			read those complicated regulatory documents.

3541			matchsticks, you're planing to grow the trees to make the
3542			matchsticks. You've cleared some land but don't know what to do next
3543			because you havn't read the books you've got, so you've posted to
3544			alt.arborists.newbie asking for help. It's been three days so far
3545			and no one has replied. You remain hopeful.

3636			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3637
3638			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3639			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3640			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3641			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3642			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3643			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3644			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3645			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3646			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3647			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3648			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3649			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3650			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3651			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3652			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3653			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3654			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3655			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3656			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3657			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3658			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3659			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3660			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3661			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3662
3663			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3664			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3665			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3666			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3667			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3668
3669			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3670			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3671			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3672			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3673			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3674			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3675			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3676			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3677			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3678			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3679			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3680
3681			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3682			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3683			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3684			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3685			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3686			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3687			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3688			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3689			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3690			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3691			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3692			sovereign nation.
3693
3694			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3695			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3696			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3697			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3698			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3699			CSPAN, don't post here.

3746			gate. Because several different agencies need access to the sign for
3747			various purposes, the chain locking the gate is formed by several locks
3748			linked together. Each of the agencies has the key to its own lock, and not
3749			the key to any of the others. Of course, anyone who can open one of the
3750			locks can open the gate.
3751
3752			This is a nice example of a multiple-user access-control system. It's
3753			simple, and it works. You can also make it as complicated as you want,
3754			with different locks in parallel and in series.

3760
3761			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3762
3763			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3764			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3765			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3766			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3767			explanation of this.
3768
3769			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3770
3771			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3772			which explains why the hammer falls.
3773
3774			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3775			how a population's genome can change over time.
3776
3777	root	1.266	Law: Not really related to any of the other definitions. It's just a
3778			mathematical relationship between two values.
3779	root	1.265
3780			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the
3781			brightness falls off proportionally to the square of the distance.
3782
3783			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3784			acceleration.
3785
3786			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3787			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3788			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3789			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3790			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3791			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3792			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3793			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3794			false.

3953	root	1.241	That depends. There is C++ and there is C++. There are many different
3954			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
3955
3956			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
3957			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
3958			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
3959			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
3960			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
3961			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
3962			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
3963			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
3964			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
3965			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
3966			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
3967			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
3968			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
3969			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
3970
3971			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
3972			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
3973			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
3974			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
3975			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
3976			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
3977			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

5023			This program was originally begun in 1982 by my grandmother, Mrs.
5024			Verda Spell of Beaumont, TX. She was writing the program using
5025			an ANSI C compiler on an Osborne I CP/M computer and although my
5026			grandfather (Lockwood Spell) had bought an IBM PC with 256k of
5027			RAM my grandmother would not use it, paraphrasing George Herbert
5028			to the effect that "He who cannot in 64k program, cannot in 512k."
5029			She had used Microsoft BASIC and although she had nothing against
5030			it she said repeatedly that she didn't understand why Digital
5031			Research didn't "sue the socks off of Microsoft" for version 1.0
5032			of MSDOS and so I reckon that she hoped to undercut Microsoft's
5033			entire market and eventually build a new software empire on
5034			the North End of Beaumont. Her programming efforts were cut
5035			tragically short when she was thrown from a Beaumont to Port
5036			Arthur commuter train in the summer of 1986. I found the source
5037			code to bwBASIC on a single-density Osborne diskette in her knitting
5038			bag and eventually managed to have it all copied over to a PC
5039			diskette. I have revised it slightly prior to this release. You

5359	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5360			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5361			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5362			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5363			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5364			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5365			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5366
5367			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5368			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5369			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5370			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5371			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5372			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5373			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5374			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5375			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5376			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5377
5378			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5379			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5380			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5381			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5584	root	1.82	Yesterday, the local Brazilian authorities signed a decree stating that the
5585			Brazilian daylight saving period will start on November 3rd 2002 and will
5586			last until February 16th 2003.
5587
5588			So, clocks will be set one hour forward on November 3rd (12:00 a.m. will be
5589			changed to 1:00 a.m.) and at midnight (0:00 am) on February 16th, Brazil
5590			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5591			end.
5592
5593			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5594
5595			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5596			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5597			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5598			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5599			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5600			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5601			take place on October 27th.
5602
5603			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5604			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5605			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5606			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5607			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5608			the clock)...

5795			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad

5797			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5798			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5799			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the

6095			Windows UPnP Vulnerability
6096
6097			[...]
6098			Here's a quote from Scott Culp, manager of Microsoft's security response
6099			center: "This is the first network-based, remote compromise that I'm aware
6100			of for Windows desktop systems."
6101			[...]
6102			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
6103			months before Microsoft released its patch.
6104			[...]
6105			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
6106			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
6107			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
6108			turned on by default.
6109			[...]
6110			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
6111			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
6112			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
6113			[...]
6114			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
6115			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
6116			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
6117			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
6118			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
6119			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
6120			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
6121			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
6122			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

7808
7809			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7810			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7811			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are

7814			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7815			do the right thing.
7816
7817			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7818			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7819			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7820			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7821			and they have to fix it.

8715			simply XOR the password with "susageP", Pegasus spelled backwards. Pegasus

9262
9263			Yes. STL is not object oriented. I think that object orientedness is
9264			almost as much of a hoax as Artificial Intelligence. I have yet to
9265			see an interesting piece of code that comes from these OO people. In
9266			a sense, I am unfair to AI: I learned a lot of stuff from the MIT AI
9267			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's
9268			Hakmem is one of the best things for a programmer to read. AI might
9269			not have had a serious foundation, but it produced Gosper and Stallman
9270			(Emacs), Moses (Macsyma) and Sussman (Scheme, together with Guy Steele). I
9271			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
9272			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
9273			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
9274			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
9275			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
9276			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
9277			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
9278			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
9279			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
9280			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
9281			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
9282			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
9283			work.
9284			[...]
9285			You can't write a generic max() in Java that takes two arguments of some
9286			type and has a return value of that same type. Inheritance and interfaces
9287			don't help. And if they cannot implement max or swap or linear search,
9288			what chances do they have to implement really complex stuff? These are my
9289			litmus tests: if a language allows me to implement max and swap and linear
9290			search generically - then it has some potential.
9291			[...] Java is clearly an example of a money oriented programming (MOP).
9292			It might be successful - after all, MS DOS was - and it might be a
9293			profitable thing for all your readers to learn Java, but it has no
9294			intellectual value whatsoever.

10422			"HELP!!! MY CAR IS SMOKING!" Screamed Mary.
10423			"There is a garage right next door." Said the shopkeeper.
10424			"That's right," Said Melvin, "And there is a parts store across the street. If
10425			you ask for Fred, he's pretty savvy about that kind of stuff."
10426			Now Joe was also in the flower store. This was his first time in trouble, so
10427			he did not hear the 30 or 40 people per day who came in screaming about their
10428			cars smoking (mostly men, of course -- the ones under the shade trees,
10429			usually.)
10430
10431			"Why don't you help the stinking lady!!" Screamed Joe. "It might be your

10433			your tire pressure..."
10434			Now Tim, also new to the flower shop felt the courage to chime in, "Or it could
10435			even be your cooling system. Sometimes a hose gets a crack."
10436			"My car smoked once and it was an oil leak, where the head gasket was spraying
10437			oil in the manifold." Hollered Larry
10438			"Hey lady, why don't you get your car the patch if it's smoking" chortled Glen.
10439			Well, the hollering went on into the evening, and the lady finally went to the
10440			gas station and found that the heater core had a tiny split and was repaired in
10441			three days for a cost of $175.23.

11292			Date: 09 Nov 1995 02:57:30 GMT
11293			Subject: Re: system() question
11294
11295			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
11296			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
11297			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
11298			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
11299			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
11300			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
11301			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
11302			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
11303			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
11304			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
11305			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
11306			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
11307			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
11308			humiliating for me!)
11309
11310			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
11311			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
11312			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
11313			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
11314			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
11315			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
11316			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
11317			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
11318			really knows the answer.
11319
11320			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
11321			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
11322			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
11323			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
11324
11325			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
11326			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
11327			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
11328			for that.
11329
11330			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
11331			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
11332			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
11333			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
11334			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
11335			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
11336			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
11337
11338			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
11339
11340			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
11341			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
11342			something for free.''
11343
11344			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
11345
11346			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
11347			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
11348
11349			(Good question.)
11350
11351			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
11352			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
11353			once I have run it.''
11354			(Good question.)
11355
11356			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
11357
11358			(Good question.)
11359
11360			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11361			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11362			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11363			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11364			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11365
11366			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11367			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11368			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11369			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11370			comp.lang.perl?
11371			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11372			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11373			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11374			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11375			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11376			in comp.lang.perl?
11377
11378			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11379			you my rate card.
11380
11381			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11382			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11383			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11384			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11385			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11386			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11387			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11388			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11389			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11390			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11391
11392			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11393			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11394			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11395			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11396			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11397			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11398			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11399			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11400			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11401			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11402			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11403			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11404			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11405			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11406			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11407			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11408
11409			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11410			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11411			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11412			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11413			someone will. Maybe I will.
11414
11415			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11416			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11417			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11418			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11419			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11420			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11421			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11422			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11423
11424			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11425			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11426			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11427			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11428			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11429			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11430			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11431			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11432			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11433			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11434			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11435			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11436			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11437			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11438
11439			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11440			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11441			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11442			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11443
11444			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11445
11446			`I want to accomplish X.
11447
11448			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11449
11450			...
11451
11452			But instead it does Y.
11453
11454			Why is that?''
11455
11456			This one is also pretty good:
11457
11458			`I want to accomplish X.
11459			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11460
11461			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11462			because of Z.
11463
11464			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11465
11466			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11467			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11468
11469
11470			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.
11471			Now don't let me hear you saying nobody ever answers your questions.

11533	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11534			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11535			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11536			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11537	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11538	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11539			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11540			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11541			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11542	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11543	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11544			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11545	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11546			nicht. ;)
11547
11548	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11549			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11550			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11551	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11552			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11553	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11554	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11555
11556	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11557			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11558	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11559	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder

11565			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11566	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an

11987			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
11988			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
11989			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
11990			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
11991			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
11992			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original

11994			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West

11997			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case

12025			programmers, so keeps all but the most intrepid programmers away from it.
12026			It has no decent support for string processing, allowing you to spend
12027			hours at useless debugging. It has a very restrictive and static system
12028			to make sure you don't try anything interesting. It makes sure that you
12029			use objects, by golly, because James Gosling said so. It's easy for C++
12030			programmers to use, and hard for shell or BASIC programmers to use. It
12031			also only runs on a few systems, locking its customers into a a closed
12032			system and restricting their options.
