  4. Re:Is Palladium REALLY optional? on Palladium Changes Name · · Score: 1

    why do you think microsoft could become a trusted signer. Why should microsoft be the only one that can sign bootloaders and kernels?

    Why not let sourceforge.net become a trusted signer, that can sing kernels, api's and software? You didn't follow the chain in the other direction.

    but maybe I simply missed the point. /* ducks and smells burning karma due to pro-pall^H^H^H^H pro-'embracing this technology in terms of folding it into Windows for the next decade.' speech.

  5. Re:MD5? on Mission: Infiltrate the P2P Network · · Score: 1

    I don't know why, but every couple of weeks, some guy has this idea.

    NO: If md5 would be collision-free it would NOT be a compression algorithm.

    md5 has no backward-algorithm, it's a one-way trap door.

    to use md5 as compression algorithm, you would need a look-up table that is exacly as large as the data you compressed plus the size of the hash.

  6. coding standard on Installing PEAR on Mac OS X · · Score: 5, Insightful

    ...(PEAR) is an online repository of high-quality, peer-reviewed PHP classes that conform to a rigorous coding standard.

    how come that since years, everybody talks about coding standard and I can't find the word 'documentation' in these standards?

    Just a couple of hours ago I tried out the Spreadsheet_Excel_Writer (a port of perl's Spreadsheet::WriteExcel Perl). It does not contain ANY documentation. Yes, some lines are commented and most parameters are described. But you won't find a word telling you how to use it.

    It's formatted nice, there are no unchecked parameters, yes, yes. but no docs. bah.

  7. simmilar thing at me on Useful Hints for Software Project Planning? · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I am a developer with similar experiences. but I am not 'waiting for the next big idea' but mainly, I am, uhm, surfing around, reading slashdot, until the pressure of the release date becomes high enough.

    Then I start working hard, through the nights, and oh wonder, I have all the tables, primary keys, foreign keys, objects, constructors and destructors coming right out of my fingers.

    Perhaps I use the time hanging around to 'plan' databases and software in my head.

    P.S.: I am a web-developer.

    ... near the border to the Netherlands, I often see craftsman working here. They even seem to shuttle between the two countries.

    I know, it's not the same. But I (working as a PHP-Dev, too) also worked for a company in Spain and once for one in Australia. Both projects were longer than 4 months.

    We used IM to cummunicate and sent the protocols by email to each other (to have it written down). In the time of digital delivery, when you don't need to transport hard good to your customer, it's going easy and fast.

    But I allways (even to customers in Germany) send a CD with the final version together with the bill (printed out) to my customers. It just feels better having something in your hand.

    So, I brewed now several times. yes the first one was too bitter and the second one had no carbonic adcid.

    But since 80 or 90 liters (we brew every weekend 10 litres, enough for a week). it gets better and better. And that is what I like on brewing myself: You like it sweeter? Make it sweeter. less bitter: just chenge it.

    It's in your hands, brew the perfect beer.

    P.S.: I live in Germany. Here you get the most ingerdients for free from the next brewery.

    I live in Germany and heard a lot about the transrapid (the first project after the test train here in Germany):

    A guy working for the consortium visited the building site when a chinese guy came and said: "we're going to build the station here and the rails will go there" pointing to some suburban buildings where lived about 100.000 people. The German guy asked "So, we'll have to dig a tunnel?"
    "No no, " answered he chinese guy, "there are livin people we just resettled from the Yangtse river. We'll relocate them again and demolish all these buildings. They are two years old, allready."

    It's just different how they build a transrapid if they want it.
