No, they didn't and the quote of Ahmadinejad that Israel should be wiped of the map was a mistranslation that has been quote way too often. Specifically:
"The fact that he (Ahmadinejad) compared his desired option - the elimination of "the regime occupying Jerusalem" - with the fall of the Shah's regime in Iran makes it crystal clear that he is talking about regime change, not the end of Israel. As a schoolboy opponent of the Shah in the 1970's he surely did not favor Iran's removal from the page of time. He just wanted the Shah out,"
Besides:
Though Iran doesn't recognize Israel, and Iranian citizens are not legally authorized to travel to the Jewish state,... Jews in Iran are not in danger.
Iran's Jewish community of about 25,000 people is protected by the country's constitution and remains the largest in the Muslim Middle East. Synagogues, Jewish schools and stores operate openly. Morsathegh said in Tehran there are 20 synagogues, eight butchers, five schools, four youth organizations and two restaurants.
Morsathegh said Iranians, including Jews, immigrated from Iran following the 1979 Islamic revolution that brought hard-line clerics to power but said there had not been an exodus of Jews from Iran in recent years.
"We are one of the oldest communities in Iran. We are free to practice our religion. Anti-Semitism is a Western phenomenon but Jews have never been in danger in Iran," said Morsathegh, who spoke in his office in the Sapir Charity Hospital, which is run by Iranian Jews.
You'd be surprised what your rights are. Here in the European Union, we have the right to return any product bought within 14 days, without having to give any reason. Irrespective of EULA rights, box seals anything. We can simply return a product and demand money back, without reason. That's an EU law
No, that's only true for things that you bought on-line and to a certain extend for doorstep selling, and no, if you broke a box seal of a CD, a Video/DVD, or some software product then they don't have to take it back.
By the way, for the rest of you who never RTFA, the summary above really contains all the useful information in TFA. There isn't a need to click through in this case.
Useful summaries? KDawson and Timothy?
Hi, you must be new here.
You too, otherwise you would know that the summary is usually written by those who submit the story.
You should probably learn how to write good unit tests makes a debugger a lot less important.
You are right in one thing, however, with the STL and BOOST a lot of things get inlined when compiling with optimization. Often this makes it really difficult to locate the real location of a problem and usually the only solution is to re-compile without any optimization. Somehow I doubt that the debugger can help there though.
Keep in mind it is his customers (assuming they are not black hat) he is hurting as well, as the ones that want to scan for the exploit most likely would like to fix the exploit rather than just totally disable the product.
Somehow I suspect that they will not release all information they have, only "old" enough information. I would be quite surprised if those who use this CANVAS package for some time didn't get the time to fix the vulnerabilities of there own software. Another story is if they find vulnerabilities in software they use but can not change themselves. Probably they reported the problem at least in general terms to the vendor, but he didn't act and now faces full disclosure.
Unless your project is a free software tool that is not backed (and sold) by a company, the company selling your project could have bought this CANVAS tool the are talking about, I read it's about $10k - so it's still a lot cheaper then paying someone to find the bugs. Why do you expect that the security researchers give you an advantage for free when they can sell it? Just look at it from the other side, they could sell the information on the black market instead of disclosing it.
out-of-source builds (having the sources in one directory, building to another) is not the responsibility of your text editor; it's the Makefile's job. I'm surprised that you think Emacs somehow prevents it from working.
C'mon everybody knows that Emacs is an OS. But seriously, it's of course not the build itself that works or does not work, but when I edit a file, I want to hit whatever x-compile is bind to, run compile. with an out-of-source build Emacs does not know where to find the build files, so I would have to load a file (or switch to a buffer of a file) from within the build-tree first. Or I compile in a terminal, but then I lose the automatic location of error lines.
Online help? I prefer to read the sources, where the help surely originates. If you're talking about library help, you can read it as info or man pages.
Yes I can do both, but this is not the point, the point is, it's nice to just put the courser on a word, hit some key and have the help available.
What about M-x cpp-highlight-buffer? Seems to be exactly what you ask for. On the other hand, if you need it regularly, I feel sorry for you. Ifdefs are a maintenance nightmare no matter what editor you use.
Well, I didn't know this command, but it's not what I meant - in an IDE there is no unknown state of an #ifdef, because it scans the whole project plus build files.
Intellisense? I have never used it, but I'm sure M-x dabbrev-expand (an ancient Emacs feature, also available in Vim under a different moniker) is superior.
Since you never used Intellisense you are hardly to judge which is better, right? I for my part was not very happy with dabbrev-expand, and looking at what the Kdevelop4 beta provided I was really impressed.
Well, I still use Emacs for most of my editing, but if Kdevelop 4 makes it easier to define custom indention styles then I might convert - at least when it comes to C/C++ programming.
Basically, this person wants emacs but doesn't want to admit it because he thinks that emacs is too bloated.
I don't think so. I really love emacs, but there are four things that I really would like to have and that you can find in most IDEs: proper support for out of source builds, on-line help for functions/classes, contest based highlighting of #ifdef blocks and something like Intellisense (there is something available in emacs,but is still in development, didn't try it for a while though).
Kdevelop 4 will provide all of this and kate finally supports binding TAB to emacs like automatic indentions (*) for most cases which makes it a good candidate for emacs replacement. I think they also provide vim bindings.
(*)for me the TAB feature is one of the killer feature of emacs - the other being able to define the indention style of the file in the first two lines or based on the source directory in.emacs)
There is no prove that society is better or worse off with or without patent system. Humankind has developed over a very long time without patents, so it is very likely that by abolishing all patents nothing would change. Chances are we are better off, because we don't have to deal with patent trolls any more.
Is to either remove all people from flights, or somehow put them all into a coma for the duration of the flight.
Actually, the plane could still crash due to mechanical failure, pilot stupidity (including other pilots not looking where they're going), unexpected bad weather, or collision with large birds.
Can you tell this to the idiots who decided that we can no longer carry bottles of a capacity larger then 100ml, please? Anyway, I think the only reason for this policy still being in place since three years is that the policy makers are not capable of admitting an error.
Do I risk being labeled as an anti-GPL troll for saying that the people who aren't willing to offer one for any price are assholes?
There is already a price tag on it: "open your changes or additions". If this is too expensive for you, you have to buy elsewhere - it's the same as if the prise tag would be in €.
note: to be honest, I don't see evil on some pages blocked (terrorist stuff),
The problem is, who defines what is terrorist stuff? When I write that Zapatero should go to hell? (Not that the PP would be any better) If you start blocking one page, the call for more is imminent, and it's even worse because it's not public what is blocked and why, so one can not check if they reason why its blocked is true. Besides, someone who wants to find the information will find it (VPN, proxies in other countries... you get the idea).
They still are, generally (Rounding three years in Madrid quite soon) - Lately a judge decided that P2P sites are okay for private sharing. However, the government tries to slip in above kind of Internet law ruling for quite some time now, it is not the first time and sure it will be not the last time.
So how is the growth considering Moore's Law achieved? You say it yourself, it's miniaturization (and optimizing communication pathways, and increasing cpu & memory speed). For all these things there are limits that will be hit one day or the other.
Well, I'm not surprised there is such school. My impression is, that economists in general don't have a good grasp of math, specifically, they don't seem to understand the exponential function, otherwise they would not speak of "growth" all the time. I'm not saying one should not take human behavior into account, but at least they should get the boundary conditions right, and one of those is that our resources are limited.
KDE was founded by open sourcers, not free software evangelists, as such, it was founded on a pragmatic base. Qt was one of the best GUI toolkits at the time and KDE got a free-as-in-beer deal to use it,
There was also wxWidgets (wxWindows), it was quite usable and IIRC LGPL and with Lyx Mr Ettritch, also choose the non-free XForms toolkit. In that sense it's quite ironic that he gets a medal for his contribution to free software. That aside and although I don't use it, KDE is certainly a nice piece of work and nowadays, with all the licensing issues resolved, there's nothing more to complain about. Congratulations to Mr. Ettritch!
Don't get too comfortable with that Idea, we just finished 11 years of governments that brought us the RFID chip in the passport, finger prints in passports, a half year of storing of all connection data, and who tried to bring us the infamous "stop" sign for censoring the Internet.

That's because your reaction speed gain did not make up for delay.
I confess, I actually RTFA.
As a fellow 6-digiter I have to tell you, you really ought to know that an article is a word that combines with a noun to indicate the type of reference being made by the noun.

Oh, yes - of course there'll be referendums...
Just like there were over the EU constitution.
Hell yeah! We made everyone vote.
Nope, I'm German, and there was no public vote, only the parliament had to agree. I'm quite certain, the majority of Germans would have said "no".
