    1) That is an exploit of perl in setuid mode (sperl). That is not an exploit of my script in any mode. You are completely out of scope.

    I think perl looks normal 80% of the time, but gets really nasty when you try and do something moderatly complicated.

    Examples (package and var names chaged to protect the guilty [me]):
    # This is using a DI container to pull down a closure $functionName
    # and execute it with the args @args
    $result = eval { &{$registry->locateService("/functions/$functionNa me")}(@args) } ;

    I may be a nerd, but I like to think of my page design as "clean" and "fast-loading", thank you very much.
    You forgot "boring", "plain", and "ramshackle" (you're welcome very much). Look at gnu.org. That is boring and plain as well, but at least it isn't ramshackle. Making something simple and compelling at the same time is very, very difficult.

    If it compiles, ship it. If it doesn't compile, ship it. If the users complain, ignore them (they are always complaining). If the users complain moreso than normal, work all day and night and fight with QA and the admins and the VPs to get a patch in.

    The cat-bread entity would land feet-first and butter-side down simultaneously at infinity. You obviously didn't throw hard enough.

  16. Re:I have an idea that actually works on Anti-Gravity Device Patented · · Score: 1

    That won't work; the cat would land on its feet, preventing the bread from ever landing. You'd have to duct tape the cat's legs together and attach the bread butter-side up to the cat's paws. Results with this configuration have been...inconclusive. I suspect the cat is licking the butter up before I get to the window, and I haven't been able to find any historical data on what orientation the buttered side of a cat should be upon landing. Even more vexing is that I am unsure of the breadbuttered cat's state until I observe it.

    Still, nothing a few million more in grant money won't iron out.

    I have a an AthX2 4400 and SLI 7800GTs. I have to turn off the new features and turn down the old just to get a meh framerate. The engine is just slow. There were multiple threads about this in the beta boards. I guess nothing became of them.

    The weird thing is that pre-CoV CoH would run incredibly fast on the same hardware. The devs explained that this was due to greatly increased poly count - I don't believe them. SLI won't help you much, either. I was getting maybe 20fps with SLI enabled and my standard settings of 1920x1200, 4xAA, 16x ansio. DoD:Source with full HDR and those settings nets me around 70fps avg.

  22. Re:Java puzzles? I do them everyday on Java Puzzlers · · Score: 1

    I once had to make a java server support 10,000 simultaneous connections with NIO while it was still in beta. This had to scale across multiple processors/threads. The broadcaster client would upload xml diffs (which were valid xml themselves) because the DOM was too big to upload fully over a 56k line (I was getting the xml from a DOS app I couldn't alter - not my choice). The server would apply the diffs to its own DOM, XLST it into a cut down schema (like 1/3rd the size), then diff THAT and broadcast the diff to the Flash clients.

    The end result was about 5 seconds end-to-end latency. I had also been able to put 80k messages through the server in a minute with 10,000 clients active on a an ultrasparc II or III 450mHz. Did I mention this was clustered?

    That was pretty goddamn interesting.

    The current real life non-java problem I am working on involves writing arcane reporting queries for a SOX audit. This is SIGNIFICANTLY LESS INTERESTING. I'd gnaw off my own leg to run away if I had the opportunity to do something like that again in Java. There is more to the language than bloatacular J2EE bloat-enabled frameworks.
