I can understand how SJIS and BIG5 are vulnerable.
But in a UTF-8 string, no single byte will match a single quote besides the single quote character (0x27).
It seems to me that simply inserting a backslash before every single quote and backslash in a given string will have the desired effect, and that UTF-8 is not particularly vulnerable to this problem. (quite by design- it was invented by none other than Ken Thompson)
Either that article is misleading somehow, or else the postgres developers are simply putting in some safeguards for common errors in things such as php scripts.
Yeah, nobody, not AMD, not Intel, NOBODY would want to repeat the s/360 debacle. Domintaing an industry for decades, tens of billions in sales. Really. Who wants that?
I would never laugh in their face, or do something so short sighted.
Be reasonable: Tell them exactly how much it wil cost them to keep you. If they are willing to pay it, then tell the new company you were going to go to about it, and tell them how much it would cost to still hire you.
There is no point in throwing away perfectly good leverage.
They mention a very specific tipping point in the article: the melting of Greenland's glaciers.
That would cause a noticeable increase in sea level, as well as a decrease in the albedo of a large land mass- which will further increase the rate of warming.
Trying to be a reseller of a non-product that your potential customers can get faster (24-72 hrs from first release), cheaper (price of bandwidth), and better (uncut, fansubbed) than anything you can hope to produce is clearly a poor business proposition.
Copryright only really works for the biggest players, and everyone else (creators, consumers, retailers) generally gets the shaft sooner or later.
consider the violation of the laws of thermodynamics in your post:
If a maximally compressed 100mb file could be sucessfully transferred by sending only 50mb of data, then you have effectively compressed an uncompressible file, nes pa
1. Accountability means you can point your finger at me and I'll say "yep, my bad."
With Free software you can actually find out which individual programmer created the security problem in question. (He doesnt have to admit or deny it, because its all a matter of public record)
With Microsoft you have a big faceless corporation.
Tell me again, even by your stretched definition, how can anyone think Microsoft has better "Accountability" ?
He's right: you are excluding any rational discussion of gender differences outright. Contrary to your stated position, I do think it is possible to scientifically analyze something without a firm determination to implement some illogical and unbalanced policy.
Men and women *are* different in many ways. Denying reality does not make anything better.
Thats why i dont understand those "we hate pdf, because thats only for printing" idiots. I WANT to read at page 25, 2nd article. Not somewhere in the middle of an endless html file...
This may come as a shock to you, but yes you can break html documents into multiples pages.
Furthermore, as someone who has to read lots of PDFs that are far to large for him to sensibly print, THEY SUCK FOR READING ON A MONITOR. I vastly prefer html or even plain text to pdfs for online perusal.
(another downside to printing reference manuals is that they became unsearchable)
So, imo, any file format primarily organized about slices of dead-tree is fairly archaic.
Believe it or not, there is a several thousand year old tradition in the 'liberal arts', and while you can't well order the set of books, that doesn't mean that the fields are a combination of teaparties and fraud.
Thousands of years more history preceed religion, prostitution, and other sundry things. "teaparties and fraud" is an excellent summary:)
Aside from Bertrand Russel and a few other bright lights, philosophy is a shirker's course. If you are not lazy let math or science be your philosophy class. The most students ever come away with from philosophy classes is a empty feeling that what they have studied was somehow meaningful and important. Vigorously defending that feeling makes you seem just silly.
Finally, most profs AREN'T dumb. They are almost all very smart. On top of being smart, they have demonstrated that they know some stuff. Thinking that everybody else is dumb is a symptom of a sick and egotistical mind. I had a friend in college who thought that his philosophy proffessor was an idiot because "I always prove him wrong in class, so he won't call on me anymore." If you think that that is a reasonable statement then you too are probably an ass.
Sure its bad to generalize, and I'm sure there are some top notch profs out there, but in general them seem to be dumb as doornails (speaking of course about the technical sciences).
With liberal arts profs, well being in subjective fields you cant easily prove that they are idiots. Being an erudite philosophy prof is mostly about being eloquent and opinionated.
A bit long in responding, but yes I meant vorbis. And I like matroska because of its thorough unicode support for non-english languages in subtitles and menus etc.
However, perhaps some implementations of it may be slow, I think thats just an implementation detail. (I havent been able to observe any significant difference on my system)
And allthough OGM does look like a decent replacement for AVI in some ways, I dont think its all there, especially wrt to utf-8 support. (the ogg people seem to agree with that)
Slashdot Mirror
They give you a rountable IP, but force it to rotate fairly often.
I'd say its the primary downside of FIOS at the moment.
that and they block incoming port 80.
CBC based encryption schemes will auto-recover after bit-errors.
So as long as the problem wasnt in some critical header section,
the movie should recover just fine after an error in the stream.
You might see a blip, but it wont be the end of the world.
Legalities aside,
It is valid and consistent position to hold that violating copyright is moral, while violating copyleft is amoral.
The two are not identical in intention. Copyleft is in fact designed to thwart copyright.
(the names rather implies as much)

their customers dont want it.

Natural or not, it is very much a tipping point.
I modify parts of the kernel and load them without rebooting all the time. (loadable kernel modules)
Its not that big of a deal really.

Whenever FEC is involved, you are going to be downloading more that the original size of the file as a price for the redundancy.
This is exactly why bram has put it in bt already.

Wow, I have to reply to undo my up-moderation.
Bernsteins article is actually full of misconceptions.
It burnses us. We hates it.

Haha, you cant just make up your own name for it, unless you really dont like being understood.
nice try though.
Languages are always supplemental, they never make the main thrust of a career, so learning them in college is probably a bit of a waste.
OTOH, picking up Japanese in your free time just to watch anime is worthwhile, imo

But even so, Debian fits for the hardcore freedom types who want easy updates
You may not realize it, but Redhat is more into hardcore freedom than even debian.

Dont be so judgemental.
He is right that most profs are dumb, and its very easy to end up surrounded by incompetence in the workforce (especially in gov't contractors).
There are innumerable companies where skill and achievement mean nothing, and brown nosing and connections means everything.
Even the most skilled programmers are often layed off, especially if they did too good of a job documenting their code and making it easy to maintain.
It is the real world.
You know there is another perfectly good alternative which is simpler than either of yours: eliminate copyright.
Sure, it will outdate some business models, and require a bit of change and restructuring. But it beats ending up in a police state paradise.
