Wich can be raided by police should it suddenly have a new version out denying the holocaust (an offense in much of europe).
That's very interesting. The wikipedia servers are physically hosted in washington DC. You are saying german police can conduct a raid in washington DC for violating german law while physically being in america?
If examiners miss stuff so blatatly obvious as perpetual motion devices, they are completely unqualified to be an examiner -- it indicates the USPTO is allowing stuff to be patented that simply should not be allowed at all. It indicates a failure in the system which is supposed to prevent such things from occuring.
The fact such patents continue to be granted proves the USPTO's system is still broken.
Who cares if they patent a perpetual motion machine?
It means the examiners aren't doing their required job. They're smoking crack when they should be examining patents.

I've noticed that too.
He keeps ranting about PHP like PHP is the sole exception from of the vast ocean of languages out there.
A more intelligent discussion would point out that security in general does not seem to be a priority, regardless of the language. (Maybe one could count java as the sole exception here, even though its record hasn't been stellar either.)
But this is way over cyricz's head. Like a freebsd zealot who bashes linux at every chance, he bashes PHP at every chance. In the end he comes off sounding as hip and trendy as a 11 year old ranting about how his atari is better than your commodore 64.

You say this like PHP is the sole exception. But it isn't.
To prove something works is too expensive for small companies or individuals
Good lord, it should be obvious from the patent description "perpetual motion device" that the damn thing doesn't work. How expensive can it possibly be for someone with basic grade school physics knowledge to read a patent title?
those patent examiners keep allowing perpetual motion machines to get patented. so obviously that $35k is being largely wasted on people who failed grade school physics.
the patent office doesnt make money by rejecting patents. you might say they have a vested interest in granting any patent, no matter how ridiculous.
perfection? no. but when crapola like perpetual motion machines keep getting patented over and over and over, it shows how busted the system is (or how retarded the examiners are). imo any examiner stupid enough to pass a perpetual motion machine should be sent to take mandatory grade school physics lessons, before being allowed to touch any patents ever again.

While perl security has gotten better, it is still a problem. perl is still widely exploited, formmail.pl is one of the more infamous ones. lusers just download whatever script they find off the web and install it, and get quickly compromised.
Are the majority of perl users well versed in perl security? I doubt it.
What, you going to recommend people use C instead of PHP then? python? Even java has issues.
It's very fashionable, hip and trendy to bash PHP on/., while ignoring the fact most other languages really aren't any better.

I thought Nicd was largely dead due to the toxicity of the metals used and the lower capacity compared to Nimh. The lack of memory effect is also notable for Nimh.
depending on the state, you may be able to get the local police to sieze their property in order to pay court ordered fines (criminal cases, not civil ones).
perl stable? maybe. we'll see what happens when perl 6 comes out. i suspect when it does, most of the whining about "unstable PHP syntax" will cease.:P
readable? hah. perl is famous for winning obfuscated code contests. it's worse than C, and that really says something.
python syntax is ok, but applications written in python tend to be fragile.
java is "write once run nowhere" thanks to platform-specific bugs and incompatibilities in JVMs.
even then, nobody is forcing you to upgrade php, just like nobody is forcing you to uprgrade perl. there are incompatibility issues with the change from perl4 to perl5 (and there will be many more in perl6) but you're not forced at gunpoint to upgrade. you always have a choice.

yes yes yes!
this is one of the most annoying things about perl (other than the syntax, heh). perl's scoping is broked. PHP actually got it right.
My point wasn't to point out things that redhat didn't write... it was to make the point that they were selling (for LOTS of money) stuff that they didn't write and that all the other distros give away for free.
you can get as much support for RH as you do for debian. you just have to know where to look (true for both debian and RH, so RH is not the exception). in terms of support (the drum you keep banging) there isn't much to distinguish debian from RH, since free RH support does exist in the same manners that free debian support exists.
we (ISP) have survived just fine since RH5 and we never paid a dime for RHN.
sounds like you want a $49 OS which gives you full 24/7 technical support from top to bottom -- from installation to configuration to software development. do let us know when you find one.

azureus is also very slow, ui elements have very noticeable lag in response, even on my 2ghz amd64 machines.
non java bittorrent clients are snappy, responsive, and don't take 500mb of ram.

You have a beef with CR, fine. That's no reason to go making shit up.
CR has experts do the testing, which is plainly and comprehensively explained along with their testing methodology.

Something which does not work is not useful.
Perpetual motion devices do not work and can not ever work, full stop.
Therefore they are not useful.
Therefore they fail the criteria for patentable.

You say this like PHP is the sole exception. But it isn't.
Most perl, python, ruby, C/C++, ObjC, Haskell, Lisp, Tcl, ML, Lua texts don't cover security either.
Maybe someone should publish a book regarding security itself.
You mean like this?
Getting a patent doesn't mean it works.
According to the law, it has to.

well gee, none of the other distros "wrote" or "contributed" apache, the kernel, mysql, sendmail, ldap or gcc either.
so I guess debian, gentoo, and all the other distros are just as much "at fault" or "to blame" as redhat?
or are you saying debian and gentoo or any other distro has individually contributed more money and software to open source than redhat?
redhat has employed many opensource developers for about 10 years now. it's not hard to see how that could ring up into $millions$.
like i said, just because you're unaware of something doesn't mean it doesn't exist.
from the redhat web pages (which you might actually bother reading sometime before making claims which are easily refuted):
basic edition:
Web support: 1 year Installation & Basic configuration
Phone support: 30 days Installation and Basic configuration
Scope of coverage: 30 days telephone / 1-year web Installation and Basic configuration
bullshit.
when your support subscription expires, you have to remove RHN, not RHEL.
nice attempt at FUD though. are you employed by microsoft?
how exactly did redhat "fuck" small to medium businesses?
also, rhel is $349. not $500+. and for what you pay, you get miles better support SLA than microsoft.
