  1. Re:Useless use of cat award! on How Hard is it to Manage Different Unices? · · Score: 1

    Actually, this is a kernel limitation. The constant ARG_MAX in your limits.h should tell you how much your own system can take. POSIX requires ARG_MAX to be at least 4,096 bytes.



    Not true for your example. the 'for ... in ...' never involves spawning another process that directly reads the entire argument list.


    this is because for is a shell builtin.

  2. Re:Backdoors? on Securing Win2K, NSA-style · · Score: 1

    my point is that this isn't a compiler even it's an instruction checklist.


    how can backdoors go in that that wouldn't be detected by anyone with even the lease bit of experience?


    hmm... step 3: create an account username "spook" password "nsa0wnz0rz" with administrator priveliges, if you do not do this EXACTLY your system will be insecure

  3. Re:Did you even read the article ? on Why Unicode Won't Work on the Internet · · Score: 1

    So what if you've been using Unicode for ages, Unicode can't handle Chinese in a way that can simultaneously satisfy mainland and non-mainland Chinese.

    Exactly. just like 7-bit ascii can't handle english in a way that can simultaneously satisfy Helvetica and Times Roman.

  4. Re:ALL YOUR MAGNET ARE BELONG TO US. on Magnet Patent Suits · · Score: 1

    I was told putting magnets near my drives would destroy my data.

    And they expect me to believe there's tiny, patented, magnets in all of them?

    But it's accounted for in the disk's design. kind of like you can put a magnet on top of a monitor and still sucessfully (manually, with another magnet, the button assumes there's no magnets presnet) degauss the screen, at which point TAKING AWAY the magnet will induce the messed-up color patterns.

  5. Re:Another way Windows NT trumps Linux on Is Mac OS X real UNIX®? · · Score: 1

    NTFS has hardlinks. they specifically put it in to comply with the POSIX standard. i don't think they ever made a tool to use that feature, but cygwin32 'ln' uses it.

  6. Re:Interesting artifacts on Color Photography with B&W Film · · Score: 1

    It's not movement, since the grass blades in the foreground are blurred without any coulour fringe whatsoever. That's because grass is green.

  7. Re:But more importantly on Napster Users Being Arrested In Belgium · · Score: 1

    But more importantly, this only applies to the Belgians.
    In Germany they first came for the Communists and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Communist. Then they came for the Jews, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a Jew. Then they came for the trade unionists, and I didn't speak up because I wasn't a trade unionist. Then they came for the Catholics, and I didn't speak up because I was a Protestant.
    Then they came for me -- and by that time, no one was left to speak up.
