If you think that saving screen space is so valuable, why the blank lines between each paragraph? IfYouWantToGoToTheExtremeYouCouldEvenRemoveAllTheS pacesToo.
The readable programs I see always include 'unneccessary' breaks between program sections, because it's actually neccessary to allow our brains to see patterns.
The problem is that now you only know what the program actually does, not what the programmer indended it to do. Anyone who's done any maintence programming will know that knowing what the program does is the easy part, finding out what the programmer wanted to do is the hard part.
With most languages, the syntax tells you what the program does, and the indentation tells you what the programmer intended.
I thought byte killed itself when it chock full of adverts.
When you open a magazine, and the first page of content is on page 200, you're not going to read pages 1-199. All those advertisers soon realized that, and stopped wasting their money.
The python camp tends to claim that python is better if there are multiple authors, eg #45.
Having different editor settings is something which different authors often have, this is hardly the first instance where magic white space has caused problems, make being an obvious previous example.
I really don't know why Python programmers reject the concept of bracket characters (or words as in languages like Pascal). In my exprience, when reviewing code it's useful to know what the original author was intending to program, as well as what she actually programmed.
Having syntax markers as well as indentation provides a valuable redundant check which indicates when the thoughts are not matching the code.
If a program has
if(1) {
print "something" if(2) { print "something else" } else { print "a third thing" } }
Then I know that there is something wrong with the program. I don't know if the programmer wanted the else to go with the first if or the second, but I do know that he was confused about this section of code.
By removing the {}, you loose that redundant check on the code, and the poor maintence programmer has no clue that this is a suspect portion of code.
In the past I've heard the claim that you could use magic comments in python to indicate your desired indentation. Unfortunatly, almost every production program I've ever seen has had correct indentation, while I've never ever seen a python program with magic comments.
Illinois suspended executions after they realized that while they had executed 12 people since the reinstation in 1977, 13 people had been freed from Death Row. Those are not good odds.
As people from Canada keep on telling Americans, it's not illegal in Canada to rebroadcast a broadcast signal as long as it's live & unmodified. It's no different to a cable TV company doing the exact same thing except over their private network.
The plain, simple fact is that there are all sorts of regulated, metered, for pay content out there. DVDs happen to be one form. Complaining that you have "rights" to watch it any way you please is simply unfounded, given the ample precedence for other forms of content with controlled playback mechanisms.
Except that DVDs are not a "regulated, metered for pay content". DIVX was, but everyone rejected that format because people do not want to live in a world where everything you want to do costs you nickles & dimes (Or Dollars actually, in the DIVX case). DVD is a recording media. By buying the DVD, you are allowed to view the movie. No-one should care if you do it on a DVD player, on a windows box or a linux box, because the rightful copyright owners gets their cut regardless of how you watch it, or even if you stick it on a shelf and never watch it or if you decide to make microwave DVD's.
I happened to be at a colocation service last week too, and the key wrangler said that he was always seeing people in fixing the NT servers, but very rarely were there any problems with the Unix servers.
I don't think it makes it much easier than having a binary which does the detection. Run binary, run program. See if program triggers binary. Recode program and try again.
All they would need to do is encrypt your "plaintext" version with the key you supplied and compare it with the message they are holding.
With PGP, and no doubt many other encryption schemes, this would not prove anything. The encryption program chooses a random session key to encrypt the data, and encrypts this session key with the user's key.
Of course the real flaw is that it would require both the plaintext & the key, while the OP was suggesting giving only a bogus plaintext.
The times have changed. Someone professing a belief in spirtualism around 1900 would not be considered a crackpot, any more than someone professing a belief in the possibility of a unified field theory would be today. Perhaps in 100 years, these will be the crackpots?
Edison gets credited with inventing a lot of things he didn't invent, because of amercian refusal to accept the true inventors overseas. Most notably of this is the light bulb, which was actually invented by Englishman Joesph Swan.
My mother is in a wheelchair. My best friend is paraplegic. Unlike Free Tibet, anyone can become disabled at any time. This should give any rational person cause to support disabled accessability options.
In those cases involving minors, then the minors names or other identification cannot usually be publicised.
In criminal cases, it's not allowed to report on a few facts which might prejudice the case, for example in a recent trial of a doctor, no-one was allowed to report on his drug abuse in the 1970s, to avoid the jury being prejudiced. This isn't really related to the trial though, it's previous facts. The actual trial can be reported.
In a few cases, the judge may seal something, just like the DeCSS code was sealed.
In short, it's pretty much like the US system, which isn't suprising since they share common roots.

We all met through chatting on the internet, where we also talk with Americans, Scots, Aussies, New Zealanders, Brazillians, an Armenian and others.
I originally moved to Canada, because I came over to visit another friend who I met over the internet.
Me & my friends certainly know a lot more about the culture of other countries than I would have done without the Internet.

# wait for job complete would probably fall into Pike's
$a[0]{'this'}[2]="value";
Creates or modifies an array where the 0th element is a hash, who's 'this' element is an array, who's 2nd element is "value";
perldoc perllol & perldoc perldsc will give you more than you need to know about nested data structures.

Nelson is my hamster. He's an expert on computer securty and sunflower seeds.
PCAnyWhere costs lots of money and has a corporation behind it, which makes it respectable.
You already can. Microfiche already has the capacity to do that, and that's nowhere near the highest density available.

The US isn't doing to well on 'innocent until proven gulity' either. If a cop decides that it's suspicious that you take money to Las Vegas to gamble with, or that it's possible to use an innocent item in a drug related way, then you can loose all your assets.

Given this, why should this cause a holdup?
