> It's that old guns don't kill people, people kill people thing. Still, a gun is a pretty quick, easy and sure way to kill someone. Imagine: you're really pissed off, and only a trigger away from "instant satisfaction". It's... a bit too easy ! Maybe if you have no gun, you're not gonna kill the guy ? Maybe just punch him in the face ? Or maybe not even that, knowing that a non-dead, non-dying person can probably retaliate ?
So yeah, right, people kill people, but more people kill more people when lethal tools are readily available.
Back to the point... cookies don't track people, people track people... which is *wrong* in some cases, and this law basically creates a way to go after the people abusing the system. There's absolutely zero chance of an entire industry going out of business here.
This point about "demanding immigrants to learn Western values and the French language" is really weird; I've talked about Sarkozy hundreds of time with people both left and right minded, and well,... sure, he might have said it, but it's really, really not what people have been worried about.
Also, it kind of implies France has a problem with current immigration - which isn't really the case, as the bulk of France's "Immigration Problem" is not people coming in now, but rather 2nd or 3rd generation people who've been kept into practical ghettos by the french policies, governments and people in general. Sure, we keep calling it "immigration issues", but that's just because complaining about it are old fascist farts still living 40 years ago...
Why the hell is this score 5 insightful ? I mean, slashdot comments are sometimes misinformed or whatnot, but it normally doesn't get good scores such as this...
Time for a reality check ! The parent is a troll...
Kind of true, but what about maintenance ? You basically don't put any safeguard against future errors...
Also, ensuring strings are properly terminated is one thing, but you still have to check against your buffer's size.
By using strncpy correctly you close the door to future problems; if this is really a major source of slowness in your app, that should be apparent during profiling, and you can optimize _then_: Do not trade security for "maybe speed":p
"There is no national or continental weather service in Europe; private pilots have to pay for information, usually in the form of two daily faxes. This means that European pilots have to know even more about weather than their American counterparts because they must be able to predict conditions"
Not only there is no weather service, there are in fact no weather at all - Europe hasn't evolved a climate yet, unlike the US... and of course there are no pilots or airplanes whatsoever...

Mirroring is a simple solution, but it will certainly lead to copyright problems when it comes to commercial sites (images & text are often copyrighted...)
Has anybody here a clue about whether it's possible to build a dynamic proxying/mirroring system, like:
User visits slashdot User clicks on "GnuStep", wich links to the mirroring system [Mirroring system] User IP is in : contact mirror, and give it the *real* request URL. The mirror acts like, hum... a proxy (but more specific than your ISP's one)
The mirroring system would be kind of a 'public' infrastructure, wich I think could solve copyright problems... If not, at least we could proxy/mirror the community web sites (Gnustep for example...)

Here's an interesting paper by Todd Miller and Theo de Raddt on ~ the subject:

does it sound possible ?
