Point well taken. However, the question remains. Why everybody and their Linux-savvy dog is trying to please, of all people, office workers? What about scientists and engineers? (Programmers are taken care of, more or less.)
Office workers have their tools on Windows and seem to be quite happy with them. Why bother? --
Public-key cryptography is different from "normal" (symmetric) cryptograpgy. What you say is applicable to symmetric crypto. PGP is public key. It uses symmetric algos on session level only.
One does not need to do an exhaustive search of all 256-bit numbers to break a 256-bit PGP key. That is why people routinely use 1024-bit or even 4096-bit public keys. --
Those are infraread images, for those of you who actually care. However, I must make an observation. A sciense article with no comments after what, an hour? And this is supposed to be the News for Nerds site? Gimme a fucking break. --
Struggle your way to your keyboard, and type "google.com" in the URL field of your browser. From there, search for "anonymous cash algorithm". If you for some mysterious reason can't do that, here is the link, prepared personally for you, by yours truly. Enjoy the math. --
My computer at work doesn't have a port of StarOffice. Now it will, and I'll have no excuse for ignoring all those Word-formatted emails from PHBs and their secretaries. Fuck you, Sun! --
With their newly acquired (thanks to the adds!) wealth, I sure hope they'll find a couple of bucks and finally make their service reasonably stable. I'm fed up with the fucking the recnum argument is missing from this query error message. Happens to me every bloody weekend.
And please put these damn "old" archives back online. Thank you. --
Of course not. We already have two very effective attention managers: Junkbusters and Procmail, and I don't feel like I need some fucking paperclip on top of these.
Like some pile of rocks in the jungle called Chicken Itza qualifies as a city!
My dear anonymous friend, Tenochtitlán by the time it was "discovered" by Spaniards was one of the biggest, richest and most beautiful cities in the fucking world. It had estimated population of 150,000 to 300,000. London had about 200,000 in 1600.
IMNSHO it's a terminology issue (read: matter of taste). Some people say that RC is a form of GC, others disagree. Some people even say that manual new/delete is a form of GC, albeit not an automated one:)
Encapsulation is important for OO, but not only for OO. Object-based environments can also have encapsulation. Having encapsulation and no polymorphism does not qualify for being OO.
It does not matter how exactly you maintain polymorphism. If it's through aggregation than you are simply implementing inheritance by hand.
Component-based programming is indeed OO. At least its COM and CORBA incarnations are.
And yes, I'm using inheritance and polymorphism interchangeably. Don't know if it's exactly right.

Unix was designed for programmers, scientists, and engineers. It works for them rather well. It was not designed for PHBs and their secretaries.
So, the question. Is adapting Unix for this last category of people is the right thing to do?

Actually, Google search for '"linux +in space"' gives some interesting results. Try it out (no actual link because of goatse syndrome).

int bar[foo];
This is invalid C but valid C++. Which is, kinda, a form of complaint (why C doesn't have true constants? My language will!)

But Deja does not display them verbatim anyway -- unless you happen to know about the little =dnc/ trick, or use "Deja Classic" on your searches.

See here. The wery first sentence. Unfortunately winehq seems to be down right now so I can't find it there.
btw, YHBT
You mean, I should care, right? Fuck no. I'm too busy seaching for these Cowboys Fringants songs on Gnutella.
I'm asking because WINE stands for "WINE Is Not an Emulator".

I did. The results were amazing. Code without pointer arithmetics executes as fast or faster. Go figure. Modern optimizers do wonders to your code.
Did you go to a law class in Harward per any chance?
Exactly! Use necklaces made of mollusc shells instead. This oughtta solve all the problems! How come I didn't think about it myself?
Try a little harder. Fire up Google, or something. Anyway, some of the papers are here. Don't know if they're any good though.
