and one that illustrates the point excellently. it's particularly encouraging that the press don't seem to be universally attacking the stunts as well.
it staggers me that people don't immediately start shouting "1984!!" when this sort of thing is suggested. im also a bit disappointed that clinton is a supporter, i thought he was a bit more libertarian than that:/
in the case of OO code, surely if the code is well architected and implemented (high cohesion, loose coupling) then you should be able to test small parts independently?
many small tests, written to define the interface. if you can define the interface you can write the test first, if you can't define the interface clearly before user testing then you're going to be in trouble anyway.
a good point, although it needn't necessarily be quite that bad. a freind of mine who works for a major financial institution in london was telling me the other day that their entire documentation (from code annotation, through javadoc/doxygen style documentation, and suprisingly even the final _user_ documentation) is all done from within the code.
i was quite suprised to hear this, but he insists it works well, and they are working on _huge_ projects.
i think you're missing the point here, which is that good refactoring shouldn't affect surrounding code, it's typically about fairly small changes and simplifications.
obviously there will always be some effect, but a proper well written test suite (primarily unit tests, but also higher level tests) should catch the vast majority of cascade effects.
program to the interface and altering the internals shouldn't matter.
oh dear i'm beginning to sound like one of those evangelists!

according to the FAQ they are working on this, and seem confident that they'll be able to get it to work well enough for a reasonable emergency landing.
forgot the main reason of my post which is that he wrote a nice description for those with a clue, but without hardcore knowledge of the lower levels of tcp/ip.

i found a php irc bot and plugged it into the php implementation of alice without too much fuss. yeah i know... php not exactly the first language that springs to mind, but hey, thats what i work with;)
ok, so what i wrote was completely irrelevant... please don't hurt me!
thats pretty much what happened when i did this :)

i had a php irc bot that i hooked into the php implementation of alice, and i put them into a channel and 'forced' one of the bots to say hello.. it rapidly degraded pretty much like yours and the article
i'd be suprised if it was a copyright issue (has this actually been confirmed?), as, afaik, most xbox modchips don't actually provide a BIOS for the very reason, instead they provide a tool to write a BIOS from the net to your newly purchased modchip. However I presume the pre-chipped xboxes will already have the replacement BIOS on the installed modchip, so perhaps that's the sticking point. If so, lik-sang have been very foolish indeed. -- community content - covertops.org --

absolutely. guns are not 'bad'. they are dangerous however, and some might argue that it is unnecessary for people to have them in their home.
Fair points.
In terms of big brother, I meant the general public, the sheeple. This will be utterly ignored by them i suspect.
As for Clinton, yes point taken. Perhaps i should have said 'liberal', and I mean in comparison to other US presidents, rather than cowboy neal...

please mod the parent up, that's the best homework excuse i've heard in years xD
go on please, just for me..

funnily enough Dan Kaminski himself begins describing LinkCat:

"
I've got a wire. I want to talk on it -- but I can't, I've got all these sockets and programs and limitations in the way. Or at least, I had them.
1) Execute lc -m00 and start typing hex. Whatever hex bytes I type show up on the ether.
3) Profit.
"
absolutely priceless
