15			# These were AT&T's official entries. The 5620 FAQ maintained by
16			# David Breneman <daveb@dgtl.com> has this to say:
17			#
18			# Actually, in the beginning was the Jerq, and the Jerq was white with a
19			# green face, and Locanthi and Pike looked upon the Jerq and said the Jerq
20			# was good. But lo, upon the horizon loomed a mighty management-type person
21			# (known now only by the initials VP) who said, the mighty Jerq must stay
22			# alone, and could not go forth into the world. So Locanthi and Pike put the
23			# Jerq to sleep, cloned its parts, and the Blit was brought forth unto the
24			# world. And the Jerq lived the rest of its days in research, but never
25			# strayed from those paths.
26			#
27			# In all seriousness, the Blit was originally known as the Jerq, but when
28			# it started to be shown outside of the halls of the Bell Labs Research
29			# organization, the management powers that be decided that the name could
30			# not remain. So it was renamed to be Blit. This was in late 1981.
31			#
32			# (The AT&T 5620 was the commercialized Blit. Its successors were the 630,
33			# 730, and 730+.)

51			US: Once a criminal, always a criminal, mark them as baddies for life. Jailtime is revenge. Europeans are naive hippies.
52			European: Make them understand what they did wrong, then help them to get back into normal society. Jailtime is education. US guys are stuck in stone age.

90			uninstalled program in progress, and stuck. Just as this document uses
91			the term "Z-machine" for both the machine and its loaded program (which
92			is also sometimes called the "story file"), so ZIP (Zork Implementation
93			Program) was used to mean either the interpreter or the object code it
94			interpreted. Code was written in ZIL (Zork Implementation Language),
95			which was derived from MDL (informally called "muddle"), a particularly
96			unhelpful form of LISP. It was then compiled by ZILCH to assembly code
97			which was passed to ZAP to make the ZIP.

169	root	1.470	Dana Angluin's List of Proof Techniques
170
171			Proof by example:
172			The author gives only the case n=2 and suggests that it contains most
173			of the ideas of the general proof.
174
175			Proof by intimidation:
176			'Trivial.'
177
178			Proof by vigorous handwaving:
179			Works well in a classroom or seminar setting.
180
181			Proof by cumbersome notation:
182			Best done with access to at least four alphabets and special symbols.
183
184			Proof by exhaustion:
185			An issue or two of a journal devoted to your proof is useful.
186
187			Proof by omission:
188			'The reader may easily supply the details.'
189			'The other 253 cases are analogous.'
190			'...'
191
192			Proof by obfuscation:
193			A long plotless sequence of true and/or meaningless syntactically
194			related statements.
195
196			Proof by wishful citation:
197			The author cites the negation, converse, or generalization of a theorem
198			from the literature to support his claims.
199
200			Proof by funding:
201			How could three different government agencies be wrong?
202
203			Proof by eminent authority:
204			'I saw Karp in the elevator and he said it was probably NP-complete.'
205
206			Proof by personal communication:
207			'Eight-dimensional colored cycle stripping is NP-complete' [Karp,
208			personal commmunication].
209
210			Proof by reduction to the wrong problem:
211			'To see that infinite-dimensional colored cycle stripping is decidable,
212			we reduce it to the halting problem.'
213
214			Proof by reference to inaccessible literature:
215			The author cites a simple corollary of a theorem to be found in a
216			privately circulated memoir of the Slovenian Philological Society,
217			1883.
218
219			Proof by importance:
220			A large body of useful consequences all follow from the proposition in question.
221
222			Proof by accumulated evidence:
223			Long and diligent search has not revealed a counterexample.
224
225			Proof by cosmology:
226			The negation of the proposition is unimaginable or meaningless. Popular
227			for proofs of the existence of God.
228
229			Proof by mutual reference:
230			In reference A, Theorem 5 is said to follow from Theorem 3 in reference
231			B, which is shown to follow from Corollary 6.2 in reference C, which is
232			an easy consequence of Theorem 5 in reference A.
233
234			Proof by meta-proof:
235			A method is given to construct the desired proof. The correctness of
236			the method is proved by any of these techniques.
237
238			Proof by picture:
239			A more convincing form of proof by example. Combines well with proof by omission.
240
241			Proof by vehement assertion:
242			It is useful to have some kind of authority relation to the audience.
243
244			Proof by ghost reference:
245			Nothing even remotely resembling the cited theorem appears in the reference given.
246
247			Proof by forward reference:
248			Reference is usually to a forthcoming paper of the author, which is
249			often not as forthcoming as at first.
250
251			Proof by semantic shift:
252			Some standard but inconvenient definitions are changed for the
253			statement of the result.
254
255			Proof by appeal to intuition:
256			Cloud-shaped drawings frequently help here.
257
258			Proof by elimination of the counterexample:
259			'Assume for the moment that the hypothesis is true. Now, let's
260			suppose we find a counterexample. So what? QED.' (from Don Woods
261			<DON@SU-AI.ARPA>)

736
737			A bit of a digression, but the way companies treat free software projects
738			and maintainers is a pet peeve of mine.
739
740			It should be obvious that the only people a company can expect to follow
741			any of those rules are people the company is paying or otherwise has a
742			contractual relationship with that requires following those rules.
743			Otherwise, the company should be prepared to pay one of their employees to
744			jump through those hoops if they want those hoops jumped through.
745
746			It's standard practice for companies who depend heavily on a free software
747			project to have an internal maintainer or advocate for that free software
748			project who will translate whatever the public maintainer does into the
749			form that the company needs to manage it internally, including maintaining
750			private branches as needed, pulling up unreleased patches as needed, and
751			adjusting for upstream changes that don't match the needs of the company
752			(or clearly advocating for compromises or modifications that work for the
753			entire community). This is a cost of doing business. My employer
754			certainly does this for free software we use. It's fairly normal.
755
756			Some companies don't want to spend that money, and try to do it on the
757			cheap by not having that person or the mechanisms for importing free
758			software properly. A few of them then complain at the free software
759			maintainer when they run into problems. But those complaints should not
760			carry any more weight than the complaints of any other user, and should be
761			weighed against the work style, goals, and available time of the free
762			software maintainer. After all, the actor in this situation that has (by
763			far) the most resources and hence the most ability to adopt to changes,
764			whether they want to or not, is the company, not the free software
765			maintainer.

1682			Our legislation on copyright is basically on a law of 1943, approved
1683			during WWII by fascism and signed by the king. We're a Republic since
1684			1948 and our Costitution dislike fascism, but we've conserved all laws
1685			from fascism period.
1686
1687			We don't admit officially other copyright licenses, like GPL or CC,
1688			cause "legally" every creation would be registered in SIAE, giving to
1689			them all rights (also rights of persecuting uses not authorized). An
1690			author of a song can't authorize itself a pianist for playing his
1691			song. If the song is registered in SIAE (and if isn't, isn't legally
1692			created, and the author isn't recognized) the pianist MUST pay the
1693			royalties, that eventually will be refunded to him by the author (if
1694			they are accorded) when, after a lot of MONTHS, he receive it from
1695			SIAE.
1696
1697			We've also some laws against Freedom of Speech, for example our penal
1698			code include apology law, that pratically means you can't say why
1699			you consider wrong a penal law. People can ask (with a lot of signs)
1700			elections for deleting a law, but not for a penal law, or better can't
1701			explain why that law it's wrong and would be deleted. If you can't
1702			explain, you'll obviously will not found never other people signing

1712			based on Freedomhouse annual statistic), the only "Partly Free" in

1714
1715			I'm so sorry for being Italian, for our very stupid justice, for our
1716			very bad country laws and on all for our very stupid prime minister,
1717			but trust me, I can assure you we don't be ALL so stupid. In last

1788
1789			Hi
1790
1791			I'm quite new to C programming - I have more of a Java background: maybe
1792			someone here can advise me.
1793
1794			I'm nearly finishing a little program but it has some hard-to-find bugs
1795			that basically lead to a couple pointers sometimes being NULL at the
1796			wrong time. As it stands the program just bombs out when it tries to
1797			dereference the NULL, which obviously isn't good (especially when it
1798			happens with the customer looking on!!).
1799
1800			I don't think there's any serious problem to worry about, and what I'd
1801			like to do is be able to ignore the dereference attempt and just carry
1802			on - probably the next time round the loop the pointer will be OK. In
1803			Java, I'd put a try block around the main loop, and if we catch an
1804			exception then just jump back to the start of the main loop. What's the

1883			Why Linux Sux ?
1884
1885			Easy .
1886			Security : most hackable operating systems are unix based .
1887			Portability : try installing unix on cutting edge hardware . bad luck it won`t work . install windows (the oldest) on any ... it will .
1888			Help : try get help for linux . after exploring tons of sites and forums the help you got is useless . for windows you just call them .
1889			Applications : we all know there are more and more on windows . linux will probably never get so many .
1890			GUI : we know how customisable is the windows gui . and how stable .
1891			Gaming : ...anyone got an ideea of a linux game that is really cool ?
1892			Cost : install linux as server ... it is free no ? but you have to pay a sysadmin . or learn a lot . buy a lot of books . using windows ... just click next . if you are not dumb you might make it secure too (reading help does HELP! ) .
1893			Virus : due to the fact that windows is so flexible it is logcal to have viruses . afterall the human body has more than a monkeys one .
1894			Stability : reboot windows 100 times by using the case button . perhaps a scandisk will appear . reboot linux ... ups kernel panic .

2094			dafür habe ich mich entschieden. Es gibt vielleicht Leute die hätten

2097
2098			Man hat mir gesagt ich muss zur Schule gehen, um für mein leben zu

2100			einem das dickste Auto, das grösste Haus, die schönste Frau, wenn es
2101			letztendlich sowieso für’n Arsch ist. Wenn deine Frau beginnt dich zu
2102			hassen, wenn dein Auto Benzin verbraucht das du nicht zahlen kannst, und
2103			wenn du niemanden hast der dich in deinem scheiss Haus besuchen kommt!
2104
2105			Das einzigste was ich intensiv in der Schule beigebracht bekommen habe
2106			war, das ich ein Verlierer bin. Für die ersten jahre an der GSS stimmt
2107			das sogar, ich war der Konsumgeilheit verfallen, habe danach gestrebt
2108			Freunde zu bekommen, Menschen die dich nicht als Person, sondern als
2109			Statussymbol sehen. Aber dann bin ich aufgewacht! Ich erkannte das die
2110			Welt wie sie mir erschien nicht existiert, das sie eine Illusion war,
2111			die hauptsächlich von den Medien erzeugt wurde. Ich merkte mehr und
2112			mehr in was für einer Welt ich mich befand. Eine Welt in der Geld alles
2113			regiert, selbst in der Schule ging es nur darum. Man musste das neuste
2114			Handy haben, die neusten Klamotten, und die richtigen "Freunde". hat
2115			man eines davon nicht ist man es nicht wert beachtet zu werden. Und diese
2116			Menschen nennt man Jocks. Jocks sind alle, die meinen aufgrund von teuren
2117			Klamotten oder schönen Mädchen an der Seite über anderen zu stehen. Ich
2118			verabscheue diese Menschen, nein, ich verabscheue Menschen.
2119
2120			Ich habe in den 18 Jahren meines Lebens erfahren müssen, das man nur
2121			Glücklich werden kann, wenn man sich der Masse fügt, der Gesellschaft
2122			anpasst. Aber das konnte und wollte ich nicht. Ich bin frei! Niemand darf
2123			in mein Leben eingreifen, und tut er es doch hat er die Konsequenzen zu
2124			tragen! Kein Politiker hat das Recht Gesetze zu erlassen, die mir Dinge
2125			verbieten, Kein Bulle hat das Recht mir meine Waffe wegzunehmen, schon gar
2126			nicht während er seine am Gürtel trägt.
2127
2128			Wozu das alles? Wozu soll ich arbeiten? Damit ich mich kaputtmaloche um
2129			mit 65 in den Ruhestand zugehen und 5 Jahre später abzukratzen? Warum
2130			soll ich mich noch anstrengen irgendetwas zu erreichen, wenn es
2131			letztendlich sowieso für'n Arsch ist weil ich früher oder später
2132			krepiere? Ich kann ein Haus bauen, Kinder bekommen und was weiss ich
2133			nicht alles. Aber wozu? Das Haus wird irgendwann abgerissen, und die
2134			Kinder sterben auch mal. Was hat denn das Leben bitte für einen
2135			Sinn? Keinen! Also muss man seinem Leben einen Sinn geben, und das
2136			mache ich nicht indem ich einem überbezahlten Chef im Arsch rumkrieche
2137			oder mich von Faschisten verarschen lasse die mir erzählen wollen wir
2138			leben in einer Volksherrschaft. Nein, es gibt für mich jetzt noch eine
2139			Möglichkeit meinem Leben einen Sinn zu geben, und die werde ich nicht wie
2140			alle anderen zuvor verschwenden! Vielleicht hätte mein Leben komplett
2141			anders verlaufen können. Aber die Gesellschaft hat nunmal keinen Platz
2142			für Individualisten. Ich meine richtige Individualisten, Leute die
2143			slebst denken, und nicht solche 'Ich trage ein Nietenarmband und bin
2144			alternativ' Idioten!
2145
2146			Ihr habt diese Schlacht begonnen, nicht ich. Meine Handlungen sind ein
2147			Resultat eurer Welt, eine Welt die mich nicht sein lassen will wie ich
2148			bin. Ihr habt euch über mich lustig gemacht, dasselbe habe ich nun mit
2149			euch getan, ich hatte nur einen ganz anderen Humor! Von 1994 bis 2003/2004
2150			war es auch mein Bestreben, Freunde zu haben, Spass zu haben. Als ich
2151			dann 1998 auf die GSS kam, fing es an mit den Statussymbolen, Kleidung,
2152			Freunde, Handy usw.. Dann bin ich wach geworden. Mir wurde bewusst das
2153			ich mein Leben lang der Dumme für andere war, und man sich über mich
2154			lustig machte. Und ich habe mir Rache geschworen! Diese Rache wird so
2155			brutal und rücksichtslos ausgeführt werden, dass euch das Blut in den
2156			Adern gefriert. Bevor ich gehe, werde ich euch einen Denkzettel verpassen,
2157			damit mich nie wieder ein Mensch vergisst! Ich will das ihr erkennt, das
2158			niemand das Recht hat unter einem faschistischen Deckmantel aus Gesetz und
2159			Religion in fremdes Leben einzugreifen!
2160
2161			Ich will das sich mein Gesicht in eure Köpfe einbrennt! Ich will

2166
2167			Ich habe darüber nachgedacht, dass die meisten der Schüler die mich
2168			gedemütigt haben schon von der GSS abgegangen sind. Dazu habe ich zwei
2169			Dinge zu sagen:
2170
2171			1. Ich ging nicht nur in eine klasse, nein, ich ging auf die ganze Schule.
2172
2173			Die Menschen die sich auf der Schule befinden, sind in keinem Falle
2174			unschuldig! Niemand ist das! In deren Köpfen läuft das selbe Programm
2175			welches auch bei den früheren Jahrgängen lief! Ich bin der Virus der
2176			diese Programme zerstören will, es ist völlig irrelewand wo ich da
2177			anfange.
2178
2179			2. Ein Grossteil meiner Rache wird sich auf das Lehrpersonal richten,
2180			denn das sind Menschen die gegen meinen Willen in mein Leben eingegriffen
2181			haben, und geholfen haben mich dahin zu stellen, wo ich jetzt stehe; Auf
2182			dem Schlachtfeld! Diese Lehrer befinden sich so gut wie alle noch auf
2183			dieser verdammten schule!

2192			Gesellschaft erwartet wird. Somit werden heutzutage Punks, Penner,
2193			Mörder, Gothics, Schwule usw. als unnormal bezeichnet, weil sie den
2194			allgemeinen Vorstellungen der Gesellschaft nicht gerecht werden, können
2195			oder wollen. Ich scheiss auf euch! Jeder hat frei zu sein! Gebt jedem
2196			eine Waffe und die Probleme unter den Menschen lösen sich ohne jedliche
2197			Einmischung Dritter. Wenn jemand stirbt, dann ist er halt tot. Und? Der
2198			Tod gehört zum Leben! Kommen die Angehörigen mit dem Verlust nicht klar,
2199			können sie Selbstmord begehen, niemand hindert sie daran!

2202			Einschulung.

2207			und nicht zuletzt die Polizei ein. Schulpflicht ist die Schönrede von
2208			Schulzwang, denn man wird ja gezwungen zur Schule zu gehen. Wer gezwungen
2209			wird, verliert ein Stück seiner Freiheit. Man wird gezwungen Steuern zu

2211			wird gezwungen dies zu tun, man wird gewzungen das zu tun. Ergo: Keine

2501			[...] There are all sorts of interests vying for control of your
2502			computer. There are media companies that want to control what you can
2503			do with the music and videos they sell you. There are companies that
2504			use software as a conduit to collect marketing information, deliver
2505			advertising or do whatever it is their real owners require. And there are
2506			software companies that are trying to make money by pleasing not only
2507			their customers, but other companies they ally themselves with. All these
2508			companies want to own your computer.
2509
2510			Some examples:
2511
2512			1. Entertainment software: In October 2005, it emerged that Sony had
2513			distributed a rootkit with several music CDs -- the same kind of
2514			software that crackers use to own people's computers. This rootkit
2515			secretly installed itself when the music CD was played on a computer.
2516			Its purpose was to prevent people from doing things with the music that
2517			Sony didn't approve of: It was a DRM system. If the exact same piece of
2518			software had been installed secretly by a hacker, this would have been
2519			an illegal act. But Sony believed that it had legitimate reasons for
2520			wanting to own its customers' machines.
2521	root	1.432
2522	root	1.431	2. Antivirus: You might have expected your antivirus software to detect
2523			Sony's rootkit. After all, that's why you bought it. But initially, the
2524			security programs sold by Symantec and others did not detect it,
2525			because Sony had asked them not to. You might have thought that the
2526			software you bought was working for you, but you would have been wrong.
2527
2528			3. Internet services: Hotmail allows you to blacklist certain e-mail
2529			addresses, so that mail from them automatically goes into your spam
2530			trap. Have you ever tried blocking all that incessant marketing e-mail
2531			from Microsoft? You can't.
2532
2533			4. Application software: Internet Explorer users might have expected
2534			the program to incorporate easy-to-use cookie handling and pop-up
2535			blockers. After all, other browsers do, and users have found them
2536			useful in defending against Internet annoyances. But Microsoft isn't
2537			just selling software to you; it sells Internet advertising as well. It
2538			isn't in the company's best interest to offer users features that would
2539			adversely affect its business partners.
2540
2541			5. Spyware: Spyware is nothing but someone else trying to own your
2542			computer. These programs eavesdrop on your behavior and report back to
2543			their real owners -- sometimes without your knowledge or consent --
2544			about your behavior.
2545
2546			6. Update: Automatic update features are another way software companies
2547			try to own your computer. While they can be useful for improving
2548			security, they also require you to trust your software vendor not to
2549			disable your computer for nonpayment, breach of contract or other
2550			presumed infractions.
2551
2552			Adware, software-as-a-service and Google Desktop search are all
2553			examples of some other company trying to own your computer. And Trusted
2554			Computing will only make the problem worse.
2555
2556			There is an inherent insecurity to technologies that try to own
2557			people's computers: They allow individuals other than the computers'
2558			legitimate owners to enforce policy on those machines. These systems
2559			invite attackers to assume the role of the third party and turn a
2560			user's device against him.
2561			[...]
2562			You can fight back against this trend by only using software that
2563			respects your boundaries. Boycott companies that don't honestly serve
2564			their customers, that don't disclose their alliances, that treat users
2565			like marketing assets. Use open-source software -- software created and
2566			owned by users, with no hidden agendas, no secret alliances and no
2567			back-room marketing deals.

2744			By Bertrand Russell
2745
2746			Perhaps the essence of the Liberal outlook could be summed up in a new
2747			decalogue, not intended to replace the old one but only to supplement
2748			it. The Ten Commandments that, as a teacher, I should wish to promulgate,
2749			might be set forth as follows:
2750
2751			1. Do not feel absolutely certain of anything.
2752
2753			2. Do not think it worth while to proceed by concealing evidence, for the
2754			evidence is sure to come to light.
2755
2756			3. Never try to discourage thinking for you are sure to succeed.
2757
2758			4. When you meet with opposition, even if it should be from your husband
2759			or your children, endeavor to overcome it by argument and not by
2760			authority, for a victory dependent upon authority is unreal and illusory.
2761
2762			5. Have no respect for the authority of others, for there are always
2763			contrary authorities to be found.
2764
2765			6. Do not use power to suppress opinions you think pernicious, for if you
2766			do the opinions will suppress you.
2767
2768			7. Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted
2769			was once eccentric.
2770
2771			8. Find more pleasure in intelligent dissent that in passive agreement,
2772			for, if you value intelligence as you should, the former implies a deeper
2773			agreement than the latter.
2774
2775			9. Be scrupulously truthful, even if the truth is inconvenient, for it is
2776			more inconvenient when you try to conceal it.
2777
2778			10. Do not feel envious of the happiness of those who live in a fool's
2779			paradise, for only a fool will think that it is happiness."

3768			Minions Wanted [ 0 Comments \| #23269 ]
3769
3770			It's been about 10 years since I've had minions. They've all grown up,
3771			started painfully profitable companies, and now hob-knob whose-who of
3772			important and influential figures of their field. I'm growing old and
3773			increasinly mal-adapted to normal life. It's no longer becoming for me
3774			to leave my lair nor speak on the phone. I've reflected on making this
3775			post, and I've reflected at great length. Minions aren't what they used
3776			to be. Minions now days are soft and weak willed. In the old days, it was
3777			that minions would realize they can wield power if they're willing to
3778			spend a time subserviant to someone capable of teaching. Now days, kids
3779			have this notion that money only comes from the parents, power comes from
3780			your social (gag) circles, and glory comes from the things you own. They
3781			seek answers to Perl questions only for immediate gradification, not to
3782			truly master an insidious tactic and become a potent force. Kids now
3783			days, not nearly robust enough to be considered minion material. They,for
3784			their entire life, questioninglessly slide into being slaves of much
3785			more powerful overlords. They accept as payment for their servatude a
3786			few measily tens of thousands of dollars, and then only paid in payments
3787			yearly, calling that close enough to world domination, and inexchange
3788			for that paultry fee, deliver one after another innocent to the hands of
3789			Bill Gates, telling the clients they betray that Microsoft Windows is a
3790			servicable operating system and a supportable platform. While it is truly
3791			becoming to serve on the side of Microsoft, it is also well known the
3792			ranks are thin at the top but wide at the bottom, and few ever move past
3793			petty explotation of businesses and moronic home users.
3794
3795			This is not the stock I seek. These so short-sightedly driven by greed,
3796			rather than lusting for true power, amount to little more than orcs - a
3797			fodder of little use except as "consumers" in this modern age. It is far
3798			more becoming to hope to some day aspire to be an overlord of some small
3799			repute yourself and initially forego payment.
3800
3801			Minions in my service will be expected to endure maindane business-related
3802			tasks, such as answering the phone, but will always be allowed the
3803			basic dignity of being able to tell clients to "fuck off" when
3804			appropriate. Retaining dignity does not relieve the necessities of
3805			subordination, however. My minions may seek clarification but will never
3806			question me. For the term of their indenture, they will accept my teaching
3807			as truth itself. They will not seek short-cuts where I say there are none,
3808			and if I later reveal short-cuts, they will know it was because they were
3809			not yet ready before. While my young troglodytes will doubtless enterain
3810			perversion and drug abuse in their free time, they will go for the want of
3811			the very necessities of life should urgant cause arise.
3812
3813			In exchange, they will be tutored on the basic elements of evil and Perl
3814			programming and will share in the spoils of an insideous plot I've hatched
3815			some time ago to dupe large numbers of people out of money by playing on
3816			their greed and fear. Of course, in the interest of avoiding indictment
3817			myself, the details of the plot can never be revealed, but a clever
3818			student will quickly ascertain the nature of the ploy. After thier period
3819			of endenture, minions will have developed an eye for exploitation and
3820			trickery, but most importantly will have developed a deeper understanding
3821			of how things work - both in Perl and in the real world. They will see
3822			everything about them as quite potentially theirs - no program must go
3823			unwritten, and persuent to Free Trade Agreements, they will be as a
3824			sovereign nation.
3825
3826			While the offer is valid, this is a draft for a post on
3827			jobs.perl.org. Feedback is welcome - unless you're stupid, then stay the
3828			hell off my blog. Time and time again I forget both the power of TV to
3829			sap intelligence and the very prevelence of the thing. So let this be a
3830			test: if you watch more than half an hour a day of any programming besides
3831			CSPAN, don't post here.

3892
3893			Fact #1: when you drop a hammer, it falls to the ground
3894
3895			Fact #2: a genetic sequence can change sufficiently to form a new
3896			species. Speciation has been observed more than once in the laboratory
3897			and in the wild, so this is a fact. Since we call this process
3898			'evolution', that means evolution is a fact. Keep reading for more
3899			explanation of this.
3900
3901			Theory: An explanation of an observation
3902
3903			Theory #1: The theory of gravity is understood as a curvature in space,
3904			which explains why the hammer falls.
3905
3906			Theory #2: The Theory of Evolution through Natural Selection explains
3907			how a population's genome can change over time.
3908

3912			Law #1: If you double the distance from a source of light, the

3914
3915			Law #2: (expressed as a formula) F=ma. Force equals mass times
3916			acceleration.
3917
3918			Please note that Evolution is a fact, and the theory is called the Theory
3919			of Evolution through Natural Selection. There are other theories of
3920			evolution, which have been disproved. A famous one is the theory of
3921			evolution through acquired characteristics, also known as Lamarkian
3922			evolution. It posited that species evolve by acquiring and retaining
3923			useful characteristics through use. Therefore, a giraffe would have
3924			longer necks if the previous generations stretched their necks to reach
3925			high leaves. This was the main theory that Darwin and others showed to be
3926			false.

4086			sorts of C++, I'll talk about 2 of them:
4087
4088			Category 1 code is 'C with classes and on-the-fly variable
4089			declarations'. It uses macros, bad encapsulation, no const-correctness,
4090			etc. Category 1 code tends to either use object oriented programing
4091			exclusively, or use it combined with procedural programming. Other
4092			programming paradigms are extremely rare. It often uses non-portable hacks
4093			because Standard-knowledge is scarce among category 1 coders. Category 1
4094			code is seen mostly in Flipcode and Gamedev.net articles and forums. Also
4095			it is seen in almost every API ever developed by Microsoft. A slightly
4096			less bad version of category 1 code is seen in libraries that call
4097			themselves "high-quality C++ libraries" but that don't even use a single
4098			namespace and rely heavily on macros and other unsafe preprocessing
4099			techniques where this is totally unnecessary. Most of those libraries are
4100			that way because they were started before the 1998 C++ Standard's stuff
4101			got implemented in main-stream compilers.
4102
4103			Category 2 code is what I'd like to see as the meaning of the term
4104			"C++ code". It is Standard-compliant, uses multiple programming
4105			paradigms and is pushing the language to the max (and beyond ;) to
4106			create easy to use, efficient, highly-reusable and easy to extend
4107			programs/libraries/modules/etc. Unfortunately, category 2 code is
4108			hard to write when you have to work with incompetent compilers like
4109			MSVC6/7. Category 2 code is mostly seen in:

5491	root	1.91	Giant hornets regularly attack beehives. Typically, an attack begins when
5492			a single hornet captures a lone bee nearby the hive. After several of
5493			these perimeter skirmishes, one hornet leaves a marking pheromone at the
5494			hive's entrance. This pheromone attracts the other hornets, who arrive
5495			en masse and attack the beehive. The bees' stingers can't penetrate the
5496			hornets' armor, so it's a one-sided slaughter; something like 30,000 bees
5497			can be killed in a few hours by 30-40 hornets.
5498
5499			Japanese honeybees, however, have evolved an interesting defensive
5500			strategy. When a hornet marks the hive's entrance, the bees guarding the
5501			entrance return to the hive and wait for the attacking hornets. This has
5502			the effect of luring the first attacking hornets into the hive, rather
5503			than allowing them to start their attack outside. Simultaneously, over
5504			1000 worker bees in the hive leave the combs and mass just inside the
5505			hive's entrance. When a hornet tries to enter the hive, the workers
5506			surround it, forming a ball of bodies, and cook it to death with their
5507			body heat. The bees also release a pheromone that draws ever more bees
5508			from the hive's interior to come to the entrance and defend the nest.
5509
5510			This strategy must be perfect in order to be successful. If the bees fail
5511			in killing the first hornet attackers, then the hornet pheromone gets
5512			stronger, and more hornets arrive to reinforce their attack. By sheer
5513			numbers, the hornets can overpower the bees.

5719

5722			will adjust its clocks back one hour (23:00 pm on Feb 15th) marking the
5723			end.
5724
5725			The reason for the delay this year has to do with elections in Brazil.
5726
5727			Unlike in the United States, elections in Brazil are 100% computerized and
5728			the results are known almost immediately. Yesterday, it was the first
5729			round of the elections when 115 million Brazilians voted for President,
5730			Governor, Senators, Federal Deputies, and State Deputies. Nobody is
5731			counting (or re-counting) votes anymore and we know there will be a second
5732			round for the Presidency and also for some Governors. The 2nd round will
5733			take place on October 27th.
5734
5735			The reason why the DST will only begin November 3rd is that the thousands
5736			of electoral machines used cannot have their time changed, and since the
5737			Constitution says the elections must begin at 8:00 AM and end at 5:00 PM ,
5738			the Government decided to postpone DST, instead of changing the
5739			Constitution (maybe, for the next elections, it will be possible to change
5740			the clock)...

5918			A comment on Slashdot sums it up best: "Microsoft has therefore taken
5919			the position that their code is so bad that it must be kept secret to
5920			keep people from being killed by it. Windows -- the Pinto of the 21st

5923			Most interesting of the two articles above is the second eWeek article,
5924			where Microsoft's Allchin mentions "at least one protocol and two APIs
5925			that it plans to withhold from public disclosure under the security
5926			carve-out." The protocol is Message Queuing. Apparently, Microsoft
5927			has discovered a security flaw in the Message Queuing protocol so bad
5928			that can't be fixed without breaking existing applications. So, until
5929			such time as they can field a backwards-compatible fix, they're going
5930			to hope no one else discovers it. (This is not a wholly unreasonable
5931			decision; security researchers have made the same decision in the
5932			past.) Of course, Allchin has undermined this decision by publicly
5933			naming the protocol. That's more than enough for someone sufficiently
5934			motivated to find the flaw. In the classified world, you can get your

6005			- I can apply patches to bitkeeper repository using the normal 'patch',

6233			[...]
6234			eEye Digital Security told Microsoft about this vulnerability nearly two
6235			months before Microsoft released its patch.
6236			[...]
6237			UPnP is a complex set of protocols to support ad hoc peer-to-peer
6238			networking. Even though no one uses it, it's installed in a bunch of
6239			Microsoft OSs. Even though no one needs it turned on, sometimes it's
6240			turned on by default.
6241			[...]
6242			The industry analysts at Gartner issued a warning, urging companies to
6243			delay upgrading to Windows XP for "three to six months," lest more of
6244			these kind of vulnerabilities surface.
6245			[...]
6246			Honestly, security experts don't pick on Microsoft because we have some
6247			fundamental dislike for the company. Indeed, Microsoft's poor products
6248			are one of the reasons we're in business. We pick on them because they've
6249			done more to harm Internet security than anyone else, because they
6250			repeatedly lie to the public about their products' security, and because
6251			they do everything they can to convince people that the problems lie
6252			anywhere but inside Microsoft. Microsoft treats security vulnerabilities
6253			as public relations problems. Until that changes, expect more of this
6254			kind of nonsense from Microsoft and its products.

6767			This story is too weird for words. Microsoft adds PGP signatures at the
6768			bottom of its security bulletins, for verification. But if you try to
6769			verify the signatures, they fail. Already there has been at least one
6770			forged security bulletin, urging people to install a "patch" with a Trojan
6771			Horse. Microsoft's reaction to this all simply makes no sense; it's like
6772			there's no one thinking there.

7940
7941			I have a big problem with Redhat. They make incompatible changes to
7942			utilities, do not feed patches back to maintainers then expect the rest
7943			of the world to follow their lead. The -i and -m flags to modutils are
7944			not the only example, I recently found IA64 and Sparc patches they had
7945			added to modutils code and not bothered to tell me. Other distributors
7946			are much better about sending me patches, Debian and SuSe in particular
7947			do the right thing.
7948
7949			Since "-F System.map" in modutils is equivalent to "-m System.map -i"
7950			and works on all distributions, not just Redhat, the "-m -i" patch is
7951			unnecessary. Consider this my protest against bad habits by
7952			distributors, they created the mess with their lack of communication
7953			and they have to fix it.

8268			A professor at my school got the opposite opinion from her students.
8269			She introduced ML (along with two other languages) as part of a course
8270			on the principles of programming languages in the third year. The
8271			students' opinion: this is such an annoyingly pedantic language, it
8272			refuses to let me run my program and get some partial though wrong
8273			results simply because I make a mistake!
8274
8275			In other words, given that humans are bound to make mistakes, the
8276			students at my school prefer to see them manifested as run-time
8277			errors.
8278
8279			So I look at your email address. Ah, you are in Europe and I am in
8280			North America. I guess that's why. Dijkstra is probably right about
8281			European programmers liking to do programming right and American
8282			programmers liking to chase after bugs.

9399			Lab crowd, they have done some really fundamental work: Bill Gosper's

9403			find OOP technically unsound. It attempts to decompose the world in
9404			terms of interfaces that vary on a single type. To deal with the real
9405			problems you need multisorted algebras - families of interfaces that
9406			span multiple types. I find OOP philosophically unsound. It claims that
9407			everything is an object. Even if it is true it is not very interesting -
9408			saying that everything is an object is saying nothing at all. I find OOP
9409			methodologically wrong. It starts with classes. It is as if mathematicians
9410			would start with axioms. You do not start with axioms - you start with
9411			proofs. Only when you have found a bunch of related proofs, can you
9412			come up with axioms. You end with axioms. The same thing is true in
9413			programming: you have to start with interesting algorithms. Only when you
9414			understand them well, can you come up with an interface that will let them
9415			work.

9547	root	1.1	"And over here, ladies and gentlemen, may I draw your attention to
9548			the 'posicks box', a mechanism within one of the late 20th century
9549			sub-I hardware gestalt integration agents (then called 'operating
9550			systems', this particular one being referred to as 'windows' by
9551			its commercial-mimetic sustainer), designed so as to provide the
9552			appearance and functionality required to comply with one of the few
9553			agreed-upon integration schemas (sub-I, of course) available at the
9554			time. Unsurprising given the non-integration imperitives used by the
9555			agent's sustainter, this mechanism was demonstrated to be an ingenious
9556			non-integration ploy that, while supporting the integration schema,
9557			failed to support the local interconnect schemas that this agent
9558			specialized in. This produced a classic focus rift in the knowledge
9559			pool, benefiting the sustainer in the short run due to the focus
9560			concentration facilities available to commericial-class mimetic
9561			sustainers. Practically, this wasn't a significant loss, in the long
9562			run, as neither the 'windows' or 'posicks' schemas were relevant to
9563			modern quasi-I agents. These two do live on, however, in a few niches.
9564			'posicks' is used as the integration schema between most nano-scale
9565			logic units (a fact that only a few meta-experts still need to be
9566			aware of), and 'windows' survives, for religious-mimetic reasons, as
9567			the human-communication agent in a few stereotypical toasters and soap
9568			dispensers."

9625			I sit behind an NT dual P2/400 256MB for too many hours each day. It is

9629			to swap. The CPU is at 5%. No Alt-Tab between apps during that time. No
9630			chance of putting the mouse over a button (too many dropped ticks). The

10086			* Icon has an entirely different notion of success and failure,

10090			* C++ has template classes with abnormal typing rules even for that

10403			Hmmm, if some RTEMS users have nuclear facilities attached to their
10404			systems, they might be well advised to be careful using FORTRAN as
10405			their language of choice. The comp.lang.fortran FAQ states (with
10406			concurrence from resident X3J3 members) that "using a non-standard
10407			construct might start WW III, if the necessary (optional) hardware
10408			is installed"

10822			Die enorme Zentrifugalkraft im Erdinnern schleudert das Wasser wieder
10823			am Nordpolpol raus, falls der Traktorstrahl versagen sollte (Dies
10824			passiert immer dann, wenn das Erdmagnetfeld umkippt). Nun kommt sicher
10825	root	1.388	der Einwand, die Erde würde zu langsam rotieren. Das ist nur bedingt
10826			richtig. Richtig ist hingegen, daß die Rotationsgeschwindigkeit im
10827			Erdinnern um den Faktor 1000 (ca; sehr schwer zu messen: Magma) größer
10828			ist als auf der Erdoberfläche. Dies ist auch die Ursache für die
10829	root	1.1	Kontinentaldrift und die Mondphasen.
10830
10831			Die Mondphasen wiederum beeinflussen das Erdmagnetfeld und sind daher
10832	root	1.388	die Ursache für die Sonnenflecken. Den Sonnenflecken haben wir auch
10833			die momentane Klimaveränderung zu verdanken. Auf der anderen Seite hat
10834			die Zunahme der Treibhausgase eine Erhöhung des Reflektionsvermögens
10835			der Atmosphäre zur Folge, welches dazu führt, daß ein Teil der
10836			Sonnenenergie zur Sonne zurückreflektiert wird. Dies heizt wiederum
10837			die Sonnenflecken auf und verkürzt deren Zyklus. All dies wird sich in
10838			den nächten Monaten so aufschaukeln, daß vorraussichtlich im Novemner
10839	root	1.1	2002 das Erdmagnetfeld zusammenbrechen wird. Wie damals bei den Dinos.

10860
10861			If he doesn't give up, he can go back to the manual page for man and

10863			he can figure out to use the command

11425			Subject: Re: system() question
11426
11427			There are a lot of reasons, many of which get repeated over and
11428			over again, many of which don't. Some of the reasons you hear a lot
11429			are: Questions are incoherently phrased. Questions have the form 'My
11430			code doesn't work' and don't include the code. Questions include the
11431			code, and it's 200 lines long, and comp.lang.perl is not a debugging
11432			service. Nobody knows the answer to the question. The question is so
11433			badly punctuated that nobody can bear to read it. Questions aer
11434			written by a non-native speaker of English and the native speakers who
11435			are trying to understand it can't. (That's a shame, but it does
11436			happen. I often wish that these people would post in their native
11437			languages. I'd love to see more discussion in languages other than
11438			English. Some Dutch guy tried posting all his comp.lang.c articles in
11439			Dutch a few years ago, and all the Americans flamed him. How
11440			humiliating for me!)
11441
11442			Apart from these oft-mentioned reasons are many others that are
11443			not so often discussed, because anyone who tries to bring them up gets
11444			flamed. But it's the truth: I know the reason I don't answer more
11445			questions is because so many of them questions are so damn stupid.
11446			They're stupid in a lot of different ways, but they're still stupid.
11447			I don't want to suggest that that's why your questions go unanswered.
11448			I don't know what you're asking. No doubt the reason your questions
11449			go unanswered is because they're so deep and interesting that nobody
11450			really knows the answer.
11451
11452			The most common stupid question is the one from someone who has
11453			some high-level problem that they need solved. They have an idea that
11454			they'd like to do it in perl, and they don't really know perl. So
11455			instead of learning perl, they post to comp.lang.perl.misc.
11456
11457			Now don't get me wrong. I don't have any problems answering the
11458			questions of someone who's trying to learn perl. I love THOSE
11459			qusetions. But these people don't seem to be asking useful questions
11460			for that.
11461
11462			Today, for example, I saw a question from a guy who wants to get a
11463			list of hostnames out of nslookup. `How do I do that?' he says. And
11464			it's hard to know what to make of that. What does he mean? Does he
11465			not know how to open a pipe? Is his en' command failing? What's
11466			going on here? I can't give a useful answer without understanding the
11467			problem. Having your en' fail is a problem. Wanting to list
11468			hostnames is not a problem; it's a desire.
11469
11470			Here are some similar questions that would have made more sense to me:
11471
11472			1. `I'm a lazy asshole and I can't be bothered to learn to
11473			program myself, but I know if I post here you'll give me
11474			something for free.''
11475
11476			(OK, fair enough. At least I can send him a rate card.)
11477
11478			2. `I'm trying to use en' to talk to nslookup, but...
11479			...here's my code; what's wrong?''
11480
11481			(Good question.)
11482
11483			3. `I know perl has a `System' command for running programs,
11484			but I can't see how to get my commands into nslookup
11485			once I have run it.''
11486			(Good question.)
11487
11488			4. `I'm trying to use `Getprotobynumber' to talk to nslookup...''
11489
11490			(Good question.)
11491
11492			See, I'm not just biting people's heads off, here. #4 is a good
11493			question, because it gives me something to work with. OK, he has a
11494			very weird idea about interprocess communication, but that's
11495			ignorance, and that's what we're here to correct. He doesn't know
11496			about en'; I can refer him to the manual.
11497
11498			Here's another example: Some guy wants to assemble a list of email
11499			addresses . `How do I do that?'' he wants to know. Well, duh. Get a
11500			big pad of paper and read news for a couple days and write down all
11501			the addresses you see. Problem solved. What's it doing in
11502			comp.lang.perl?
11503			Oh, you wanted to do it in perl. Well, I guess I'd open a socket
11504			to the NNTP server and send it some XHDR commands for the `From'
11505			lines. But that's not Perl; you could do that in any language. I
11506			could do it in Bourne Shell for you if I'm allowed to use a little
11507			external thingie to handle the socket parts for me. What's it doing
11508			in comp.lang.perl?
11509
11510			Oh, you wanted us to write the program for you? Wait, let me send
11511			you my rate card.
11512
11513			Someone posted yesterday asking how to get the data from a file where
11514			the start and end of the data is marked by keywords. Same thing going on
11515			here. `Well, here's how you solve your problem: First you go take an
11516			introductory class in programming and learn to write programs in some
11517			language. Then you go to the bookstore and buy this book by Wall and
11518			Schwartz, it's really good. Read the book carefully and try out the
11519			examples. Then if you still have general questions like `How do I do this'
11520			instead of thought that this code would do X but instead it does Y' you hire
11521			a professional to write your program for you. Or you could just skip right
11522			to step 3. Want my rate card?''
11523
11524			The worst stupid questions are the ones that come from people who
11525			have no business asking them. The most perfect example of this that I
11526			could have imagined was in comp.unix.questions a couple of years ago.
11527			Some guy came and asked how you could tell if a file is a hard link.
11528			My jaw flapped open and it's stayed open since then. I couldn't have
11529			been any more stumped if he'd asked why Bodhidharma came from the
11530			West. What do you say to this guy? Do you tell him the truth, that
11531			all files are hard links, that even symbolic links are hard links?
11532			He's not going to understand you; you might as well keep your mouth
11533			shut. Do you tell him the truth, that the answer won't do him any
11534			good because he doesn't know what a hard link is, so why did he bother
11535			asking in the first place? No, that'll just make him mad. I followed
11536			that message for the next couple weeks, and nobody said anything.
11537			What could you say? The guy had no business asking the question and
11538			no use for the answer. Maybe the right answer would have been to cut
11539			off his finger or something. I dunno.
11540
11541			Some questions get ignored because they're boring. Someone asked
11542			today how to compare two variables (I assumme he means the contents of
11543			those variables) to see if they're exactly the same. You've gotta be
11544			in an awfully good mood to take the time to answer that. Maybe
11545			someone will. Maybe I will.
11546
11547			If I answer that one today, maybe he'll be back tomorrow asking
11548			how to check to see if two variables contain different values. Maybe
11549			I won't. What I find incredible is that if you tell these people to
11550			go read the manual and come back in two weeks, you sometimes get
11551			jumped on for not being helpful to beginners. Bah. If everyone told
11552			these people to go read the manual, they'd eventually figure out that
11553			that's what you have to do ,and then I wouldn't have to spend so much
11554			of my life dealing with incompetent programmers.
11555
11556			Some questions are logically nonsensical because the querent
11557			thinks they know more than they do. A lot of these have the form
11558			`How do I use X to accomplish Y?'' There's nothing wrong with this,
11559			except that sometimes X is a chocolate-covered banana and Y is the
11560			integration of European currency systems. I always get stuck on
11561			these, probably because I can't get rid of the idea that the person
11562			really has a good reason for wanting to use X. I know a half-dozen
11563			easy simple ways to accomplish Y, but I can't imagine what X has to do
11564			with it. This is a problem for me in my day job, too. Clients are
11565			always saying to me `We want to use product X to do multimedia
11566			development on the world-wide web,'' and all I can think is `Well,
11567			gee, what would you want to go and do that for?'' Sometimes it turns
11568			out that they want to do it because they want to impress the
11569			manufacturers of X, and I don't work on those jobs.
11570
11571			The flip side of this is a questions like `I want to accomplish
11572			X, but I don't want to use Y. What can I use instead?'' Which,
11573			again, is sometimes reasonable, and then sometimes X is closing a
11574			filehandle and Y is the `Close' function.
11575
11576			The questions I like the best are the ones that go like this:
11577
11578			`I want to accomplish X.
11579
11580			I thought that the following code fragment would do it:
11581
11582			...
11583
11584			But instead it does Y.
11585
11586			Why is that?''
11587
11588			This one is also pretty good:
11589
11590			`I want to accomplish X.
11591			I thought I might be able to use facility Y.
11592
11593			But Y doesn't seem like it's quite right,
11594			because of Z.
11595
11596			What should I use instead of Y, or how can I overcome Z?''
11597
11598			When I ignore these, it's usually because I don't know the answer.
11599			There were an awful lot of them today. It makes me very happy.
11600
11601
11602			There you go; a 160-line dissertation on why questions go unanswered.

11665	root	1.388	Ren hat weder von Sinnhaftigkeit noch von Kausalität geschrieben, sondern
11666			nur von Logik. Logik und Kausalität sind in unserem (normalen) Denken zwar
11667			eng miteinander verknüpft, sind aber nicht dasselbe. Sinn ist hingegen noch
11668			etwas Drittes und ganz verschiedenes! "Sinn" bedeutet mindestens, daß eine
11669	root	1.1	Sache eine gewisse Richtung hat, wie in "Uhrzeigersinn". Meistens bedeutet
11670	root	1.388	Sinn aber, daß eine Sache einen bestimmten Zweck erfüllt. Auch darf man
11671			nicht "verursachen" mit "begründen" verwechseln, weil die beiden
11672			unterschiedlich sind. Die Existenz muß auch keinen Sinn haben, um eine
11673			Ursache zu haben. Das sind zwei völlig voneinander unabhängige Sachen. Die
11674	root	1.1	Existenz hat einen Sinn, also eine Richtung, wenn wir unserer Existenz eine
11675	root	1.388	Richtung geben. Dieser Sinn kann auf etwas abzielen, was außerhalb unserer
11676			selbst steht, muß aber nicht... Sie kann auch einen Sinn haben, der schon da
11677	root	1.1	war, bevor wir uns danach ausgerichtet haben - von all dem schreibt Ren aber
11678			nicht. ;)
11679
11680	root	1.388	Worauf Ren wohl hinaus wollte, ist, daß wenn die Logik des begrenzten Raumes
11681			nicht gilt, daß dann die Logik schlechthin hinfällig wird und so jedes Sein
11682			fragwürdig wird. Das ist aber nicht der Fall, da die Logik, die er von den
11683	root	1.1	Grenzen des Raumes aufstellt, gar keine wirkliche Logik ist, sondern nur die
11684			Grenzen des menschlichen Verstandes zeigt. Er kann sich nicht vorstellen,
11685	root	1.388	daß außerhalb der Grenzen des Raumes "Nichts" ist, weil man sich als Mensch
11686	root	1.1	das Nichts nicht vorstellen kann.
11687
11688	root	1.388	Darüber hinaus meinte er, daß die "Existenz unlogisch" würde. Dieser Satz
11689			ist vollkommen unverständlich. Denn entweder ist etwas, oder es ist nicht.
11690	root	1.1	Das ist auch schon die ganze Logik einer Existenz. (Aristoteles: Satz vom
11691	root	1.388	ausgeschlossenen Dritten) Unlogisch wäre, wenn etwas ist, das nicht ist oder
11692	root	1.1	wenn etwas nicht ist, das ist.
11693
11694	root	1.388	Von der Unfähigkeit des Menschen, sich einen unbegrenzten aber endlichen
11695	root	1.1	Raum (oder wie auch immer der Weltraum nun aussieht) vorzustellen auf die

11697			eine Existenz nicht unlogisch sein kann. Was sollte das auch heißen? Daher
11698	root	1.1	ist das Problem, das Ren aufwirft, nur ein Scheinproblem. Die Existenz an
11699	root	1.388	sich wird nicht in Frage gestellt dadurch, daß man sich etwas - egal was -
11700	root	1.1	nicht vorstellen kann. Er verwechselt die Begriffe "unlogisch" und
11701			"unvorstellbar".

11761	root	1.1	Perl is incredibly difficult to parse. For example, what's the difference
11762			between these:
11763
11764			time /3 ;#/; print "hello";
11765			sin /3 ;#/; print "goodbye";
11766
11767			Right. The first one is time divided by 3, and the print is in a comment.
11768			The second one is the sin of the result of a regular expression match for "3
11769			;#", and the print gets executed!
11770
11771			There's no pure BNF in the world that'll handle that. And remember, with
11772			"use" and prototypes available, whether you parse something like "sin" or
11773			"time" depends on its definition in some other file, somewhere in the galaxy
11774			(or even decided by Perl code in a BEGIN block, that evals a prototype!).
11775

12023			determines what register 69 (also write-only) actually changes. If you write
12024			to register 13 while the accelerator is active, you lock the PCI bus. You
12025			can't determine if the accelerator is active without reading from register
12026			42, but you can't interpret the contents of that register correctly without
12027			knowing what the last accelerator command was. Reading from register 13 gets
12028			you some useless (unrelated) info and _also_ toggles the accelerator on and

12117			the cultural heritage, and where typefounding has remained an important
12118			business, there are more than one kind of copyright-like protections for
12119			typefaces. Certain long-standing industrial design protection laws have
12120			been used to protect typeface designs in litigation over royalties and
12121			plagiarisms. Further, there is a recent law, the so-called
12122			"Schriftzeichengesetz" enacted in 1981, that specifically protects
12123			typeface designs. New designs are registered, as is done with
12124			copyright in most countries. This law only protects new, original
12125			designs. It is available to non-German designers and firms. Therefore,
12126			some type firms and designers routinely copyright new designs in West
12127			Germany. This gives a degree of protection for products marketed in
12128			Germany. Since multinational corporations may find it cheaper to
12129			license a design for world-wide use rather than deal with a special case
12130			in one country, the German law does encourage licensing on a broader
12131			scale than would initially seem to be the case.
