  1. Moderators, This should not be score0! on Migrating Large Scale Applications from ASCII to Unicode? · · Score: 1


    + absolute ASCII compatibility.
    + ASCII is a 7 bit standard encoding. UTF-8 uses
    + those first seven bits EXACTLY the same as
    + regular ASCII.

    This IS informative.

  2. We can remake all films/photoes/DVDs on Mutant Tetrachromat Females Found · · Score: 1

    If mutants will predominate in the future, will they look at our films and phtoes as we look at old black-and-white ones?

    I always thought that three color space is a hack. We should really encode the whole color spectrum just like the the audio spectrum for audio. But it needs a little bandwith than audio.

  3. Models do influence thinking on How Much Do Models Influence Our Thinking? · · Score: 1

    I can attest that models really do influence thinking. I had a girl-friend. She was a model. She did influence my thinking big time.

  4. New Design for the OS on Various *nix OSes Open To Format String Attacks · · Score: 1

    I wonder if it is the ploblem of the programmer or the OS. Is it not possible rewrite the structure of the OS so that the data and the program is seperate? It should make a segmentation violation if you would write to a runnable area.

    None of the benign programs intend to rewrite themselves anyway, so programs need not change and still fix buffer overflow vulnerability.

  5. Another Link on The History of UNIX · · Score: 2

    How about this link: http://cm.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/dmr/hist.html ? (The Evolution of the Unix Time-sharing System)

  6. Decaying data on Video Information From Disinformation · · Score: 1
    Here is the plan how to make most profit out of DVDs.
    • Make region codes so that folks need to buy either the software or the hardware twice.
    • If region code fails, sell region-free players, you can sell twice as many players as you would without region code.
    • Make it illegal to make any copies even for home use. The decay time for DVD is 20 years so you can re-sell the whole repertoire every 20 years.
    • If copying became possible invent another media that is not compatible with the previous one, but it has some extras people like. (3D)
    One more thing: why do I have to pay the copyright for the DVD when I paid it when I bought the same movie on tape?
  7. Binary Incompatibility on Red Hat Is Not Linux (dot org) · · Score: 1

    I think first the binary imcompatibility should be solved between different libraries. The linux loader can take care of different major versions but why should I have to keep 4 c-libraries for every distribution floating around to make a decent binary distribution?
    Keeping track of new c-libraries that cripple my app kept me stay away from additionaly providing Yudit in a binary format, but some commercial vendors can not give you the source they are commercial !

  8. How about UTF8? on On Creating Multilingual Web Sites? · · Score: 1

    Why dont you use Unicode? Set the context type to utf8. There is a unicode editor on http://www.yudit.org/ . There are some sample pages at the same site (Resources: Hungarian Grammar in Japanese) created quite a while back, but they still look ok.
