There is so much wrong with what you say, that every word coming from you is faulty. American computer programmers earned their qualifications upon their own merit. Most of them went to college and worked hard for many years, spending tens of thousands of dollars, for a hard earned college degrees in some of the most challenging academic courses. After they have spent, many tens of thousands, even in excess of a hundred grand, and many years of hard work on their college degree, with the promise that their hard work and effort would pay off, they have the rug pulled out on them by having the jobs they were promised stolen and given to a far less qualified foreigner who went to some third world degree mill college that can't hold a candle to the American college degree, and investing only 10% on their third world education that an American spent on their first world education.
Secondly, you cannot have a country without borders. Yes, a primary qualification for a job in a country must be that you are a natural born with inherited citizenship. The US and its government exists for one purpose, to defend the interests of Americans, to secure its borders for its own people, and to defend its resources and jobs for the benefit of Americans. Indians et al already have their own country with its own government. You wouldnt expect the government of India to be interested in giving Indian jobs to American citizens. Its totally unreasonable and absurd, likewise, for the American government to be interested in giving American jobs for Indians, in fact to do so would be an act of treason and a violation of the primary responsibility of a government to defend the soveriegnty of the territory for its own people. The government of a country exists to serve the interests of its own citizens who were born in that country. Period. Full Stop. End of Story. If people of say India, want a job they need to work to fix their own countries problems and have every right to demand a government in India that works to secure that for them. It the same for Americans, Americans must demand that the government of their country serve the interest of American citizens and defend the sovereignty of the country from foreign incursions. The paramount purpose of a government of a country is serve its own people to defend the borders and that this is an essential thing that gives it legitimacy, and it is a severe violation of those responsibilities to aid and abet foreign incursions.
Does the intended operation of the feature just automatically execute shell code coming in through an environment variable without you telling bash to do so? If no, then the bug is not an intended part of a feature, since I would hope no one would design bash in such a way that environment variables are executed as code without being told to do that. If you tell bash to execute something in a environment variable, thats fine, not a bug at all. The key here is, fix it so that environment variables are not executed without being told to do so.
Its not a feature, it a bug, it does something that a programmer does not intend for it to do. When your script is simply given an environment variable, you dont expect for it to be executed as code unless you explicitely tell it to. If i am reading the CVE right, thats whats happening.
This ought to be an outrage and insult to American citizens who are being kicked out on the street by having their jobs stolen from them so that Bill Gates can add to his billions dollar fortune. Studies have shown that there is a surplus of American workers, which means we have a lot of people in this country who cannot find work becuase the work is being stolen by foreign immigrants, illegal aliens, H1B visa holders, and so on. The H1B visa program is a scam designed to enrich the 1%. That Obama is involved with this shows what Obama really is, a traitor who hates the United States, and who does everything he can to undermine our citizens. It is time to completely abolish the H1B program, and stop all immigration. This will as well create the press and necessity we need to fix our own countries problems, such as improving our education system, and promoting family values, such as marriage, so that we do raise healthy (mentally and otherwise) workforce. You cannot have a country without borders. Ultimately I fear what drives companies such as Microsoft is that they are globalists that want to eventually dissolve the United States and as well destroy it as a unique entity.
I suggest that to get rid of globalists people vote them out of office. A globalist is easy to spot in their support for illegal immigration, amnesty for illegals, and H1B program. Vote out representatives unless they pledge to deport all illegals, and unless they pledge to abolish H1B visas, and unless they pledge to shut down immigration, seal the borders, and re-enact the 1924 Johnson Reed Act and the Naturalization Act of 1790.
Thank Obama and the US Chamber of Commerce. Obama wants to award 800,000 H1B visas, on top of 50 million illegal aliens, when studies show that the US has a large surplus of skilled IT labor. The purpose and duty of your government is to serve the interest of the citizens of this country. Your government is trying to steal your job and give it to Indian workers. Your government is trying to throw you out on the street and to aid and assist those who are stealing your jobs. If this is not the definition of treason I dont know what is. How much will it take for the American people to demand leaders who are going to cut off the immigration once and for all. We need to completely kill the H1B program and throw out all of the illegal aliens. We should resurrect every last letter of the Johnson Reed Act of 1924. I think its time to cut off all immigration and seal the borders. It is also time for us to start to defeat the anti-family, baby hating, baby killer liberals whose goal it is to destroy the US family through its affiliates in Hollywood, and as well though welfare programs, offshoring and continued attacks on the family that all of this constitutes. Back in the 50s the average family had 4 children, now we are down to below 2 children per family. We need to go back to having large families once again so we can regenerate population and have healthy population demographics once again. We need to do this by fixing our own culture and society by valueing children. Instead we have had a culture of self centeredness, materialism and greed that is immoral, that views children as a nuiscance or something that is even disposable rubbish. Who is more moral, ethicl and loving? Those who raise large families of chidlren lovingly, or those who shirk off their responsibility to their country to do so. A country cannot survive , as a distinct, unique, sovereign, independant, self sufficient people with secure borders, with broken, weak, small families.
For those in blue collar jobs, they are also a target,. Because Obama is bringing in immigrants, legal and illegal, to replace both blue collar and white collar workers, basically, there is no where to run. Basically we have a massive redistribution of wealth from Middle Class american citizens to large corporations and illegal aliens, because the illegals come in and steal American jobs, and now the American middle class is being required to subdize the illegals' welfare fraud and as well the welfare for the citizens whose jobs have been stolen.
How much will it take for american citizens to get the message. Your government hates you and is trying to do everything it can to get rid of you, to destroy your families, to drive you to extinction, to steal your jobs, and to replace you with foreign nationals? The reason that the elites who run your country just love mexicans, muslims and so on is that they are common enemies with them against you. Thats why your own elites work with and are aligned with violent organizations that represent theft of American from American citizens, such as La Raza and CAIR, which work for policies that will throw american workers onto the street so they can be replaced with third world foriegn immigrants. Its obvious that your government likes these foreign people who steal your jobs more than they like you, in fact, they have an unending hatred of you and truly your country. That is because they are globalists who want to dissolve it. So they attack its foundations, and the foundation of a society is first its families and its culture and morals.
I am dismayed to hear about this. If people want a dumbed down UI, don't they already have gnome? When you try to dumb things down to appeal to the lowest common denominator, you end up with software that only an idiot can use and that is useless for anyone that wants to accomplish real work. KDE has been one of the few UIs recently that has been useable and where you could find what you need because it actually has a good basket of features exposed through the UI. What makes software useable IS the features and having as many features and capabilities as possible. The fact that Linux software is so weak in capability and features compared to Windows apps is why Linux does not gain as much traction.
The idea of "advanced" screens in the UI where the more advanced features can go, and putting more commonly used features up front, is better than not having the features and is bargain I might accept, as long as this includes the exposure of fullest possible features in the UI without making assumptions about whether users may need that feature, which is project developers forcing their idea about how the software should be used on users, which never works well as they rarely know. the idea of having a UI where someone can get started quickly but offers all of the advanced features and full capabilities for a person to grow into as they learn the software does make sense. There is never an excuse for not having a feature in the GUI but I do think that it can be passable to put more advanced features in some sort of advanced screen or deeper in the UI, or in an advanced mode or something. Many developers are arrogant and assume since they do not like a feature others should not need it. This is arrogant and a good developer never assums that and gives the user full control and capability. Feature rich software with a full feature rich GUI is what really does make good software. Software is a tool and we need to give people the most tools for it to be the most useful. But developers often treat software as being a way to control users.
I would argue that average, non techie users have much more of a capability to learn a GUI interface and to learn how to use its advanced features, than they would say, computer programming and editing config files. The idea that GUIs are too complex is wrong.
Useability issues today have little to do with the core GUI, and have more to do with the lack of drivers for certain kinds of desktop hardware, such as multimedia devices. It has to do with the lack of desktop applications, and, which totally contradicts the mindset of these dumb KDE/gnome people, that Linux apps are underpowered and have far TOO FEW features compared to the WIndows counterparts, making Linux appear to be a weak, low powered OS.
I think your wrong about that. Who the hell wants to do their taxes, finances, write letters, and so on on some rinky dink tablet? Not me. The reason desktop sales have slowed down is 1) for most people their current computer is fine so they are not buying a new one until the old one dies. 2) We've not seen much of an increase in performance, I cant see a big improvement in RAM size in the last 3 years for instance.
One of the things that drove me to open source initially was the asinine closed source model which prohibited you from seeing what was running on your computer, and the endless red tape of Microsofts licensing boodoggles which made it even more difficult to maintain the system, such as by using Live CDs and such for recovery, which is much more flexible on Linux as your not bound by so many restrictions on how the US can be used. People deserve the freedom of reading the sources of software they run, and being able to modify them. its the only way to control your computer rather than it control you
Many people bring up the issue of programmer pay. I do want programmers to be paid, the best would be a donations based model where it is open source, and the developers benefit from donations. In addition, the fact is, a lot of the money people spend on Microsofts crap doesnt even go to computer programmers. What is Bill Gates net worth again? Microsoft is still a near monopoly on desktop which allows Microsoft to exploit both programmers and consumers to benefit some elites who quite honesty are not worth more than the people who work at McDonalds, but instead milk the monopoly that was handed to them by IBM and then seek to exploit their workers to grab more of the profits for the elites who are not worth what they are paid.
MTV was always mindless tripe. I remember when there were actually some semi-sophisticated shows, such as X Files, Twin Peaks, STNG. Those were the days.
The link read a lot like Cable Company Astroturfing, trying to obfuscate the issue. Its really quite simple, that when you pay for a bundle, your money is going to fund channels many of which you utterly despise and which you do not want to have any part in supporting. The problem is, you can't get the channels you might want unless you pay for the ones you dont.
WRONG. What you are describing is NOT ala-carte, its just another form of bundling. Real ala-carte is where you can buy JUST one or more of the channels that you want with nothing else, from all of the channels available. So stop using cables own broken form of so called ala-carte to try to suggest people dont want the real thing.
Its hard to think that anyone can honestly say that a large percentage of users do not watch only a small fraction of channels in their cable package, thus funding channels they will never use and may even despise intensely. Dismantling the everything or nothing bundling is about allowing people to opt out of funding mind numbing garbage that they may even despise and want to be no part of. I should have a right to not support programming that I think is total rubbish just to get the programming that I want. This will actually make the providers more responsive to customer wishes. Its also good to have an ala carte per program option, which, it should be obvious many want.
Your post shows you don't know what you are talking about. Tables are often implemented with cross linked b-trees, with one b-tree per column. Other alternative is to use a hash array, or an array alone.
GCC's support for Fortran and Ada make it valuable, the point is the need for an open source compiler so when your requirement is open source a commercial compiler wont do. Many assiduously avoid closed source software and want to be able to have the facility for ada and fortran. Many "infrequently used" platforms are more important than you think, such as the system Z platform from IBM.
There is a lot of logic behind my arguments. The fact is, selective breeding is natural as far as the actual coding process being controlled by natural systems. My other points are very valid. The kinds of manipulations with GMO would never happen with selective breeding or other natural gene transfers. GMOs have significantly higher risks. Small changes in the genes can have enormous effects, genes have many functions which are not known and with effects that can cascade throughout the organism. This makes GMOs unpredictable. GMO soybeans had significantly increased levels of trypsin inhibitor and reduced protiens, therefore, it made every negative quality of soy worse. Sure, selective breeding has its own problems, which can be seen with wheat as described in the book wheat belly that as a result of Green Revolution manipulation, wheat is now a health destroying food thathas vastly more gluten than it had before and has a lot to do with the obesity epidemic and all of the fat ill people waddling around. But you can take the effects of selective breeding and amplify the danger a hundred times with GMOs. GMO manipulation has been shown to have vastly greater and more devastating impact, for instance, by causing the GMO organism to produce carcinogenic compounds, as shown with studies.
If you want to see a more full treatment of the dangers of GMOs, please do read Jeffrey Smith's book on GMOs. All you are hearing is the marketing propoganda paid for by agribusiness that is designed to cover up the danger and whitewash it just as they did with smoking and lung cancer. These are the same people that told you that smoking was safe and used clever marketing to trick you into it so you would think it was cool. The environmental organizations such as Greenpeace have no fish to fry except to be concerned for your safety, which is the reason they exist. I am not anti-technology, to say that unless you support every and any technology you are antitechnology is absurd, this was nonsense cooked up by the agribusiness PR psychology unit people to manipulate you for their purposes. I am against technology which threatens human health and is unethical. With GMO we are messing with the environment by inrroducing changes that would not occur in billions of years of evolution, selective breeding or with natural breeding.
This is more evidence of why we need a ban on GMOs. We don't need bubble gum flavored coffee or whatever crap they come up with, I like how my coffee tastes just fine. I like the bitterness that coffee can have its flavor profile as it is, the flavor of coffee is what makes coffee what it is. We don't need people telling us to drink less caffiene, if someone doesnt like the caffiene, drink decaf, or mix decaf and regular coffee to get the caffiene level that you want. No need for screwing up the coffee genome.
The fact is, GMOs are not safe, and its not the same as selective breeding. Selective breeding puts natural limits on reproduction since only the genes of two of the same species can be combined. There is a slower rate of change which limits the risk and the danger. Because GMO allows for changes that would not occur in regular selective breeding, the danger is greatly and vastly increased. Studies have shown that GMOs can cause liver and kidney damage and can cuase cancer. I know some of these studies were done by Greenpeace. So what. Do you expect the pharmacuetical corporations will be glad to carry out studies that show their own products kill people? Its much easier to see a profit motivation behind studies funded by pharmacuetical companies who have a profit motive, than a non-profit like Greenpeace which only has your welfare and the welfare of the environment in mind.
This is basically designed to bring the old big media, broadcast ways to the internet. Hence, to basically destroy the Internet, allowing for mass reproduction of centrally created Corporate content, where independant voices are locked out. The protocol is designed for that, mass distribution of corporate created, centrally distributed content to an ignorant, consumption only masses which are treated with disdain and objects of manipulation by the elite. This is to bring big media and the stranglehold they had for so many years on information the public has access to back.
With the Ipv6 transition needed its time to focus on that rather than on this plan to destroy the internet and turn it into the digital equivalent of 100 channels of centrally produced, elite controlled, one way cable television programming designed to psychologically manipulate and control a feeble and dim witted public.
The point I think i would make is, that its good to have a programming language mathematical system and library of functions from a programming environment, but it also can be useful to have as well a more GUI environment, for instance, it makes things faster to be able to just hit Sqrt key on the GUI rather than to have to type in sqrt(number). Both the programmatic way and the key based way are importand and have their uses, so I do not want to be misconstrued as downplaying the need for a rich mathematical programming environment with a complete suite of mathematical functions and features, modelling, graphing, etc. which I know is important.
At one point, there really was no powerful analog for a graphic calculator on Linux, I mean one with the same user interface with all of the easy to access buttons that such a calculator has through the GUI. That may be the case still. Anyone have any recommendations on a Linux application that could completely replace all of the functionality of the TI-84, in functionality and user interface?
Technically, half of the states have not opted to use the federal site, but have decided to not participate at all. This led the federal government to run the site without the state, although an authority not granted to it by congress under the law.

All you are hearing is the marketing propoganda paid for by agribusiness that is designed to cover up the danger and whitewash it just as they did with smoking and lung cancer. These are the same people that told you that smoking was safe and used clever marketing to trick you into it so you would think it was cool. The environmental organizations such as Greenpeace have no fish to fry except to be concerned for your safety, which is the reason they exist. I am not anti-technology, to say that unless you support every and any technology you are antitechnology is absurd, this was nonsense cooked up by the agribusiness PR psychology unit people to manipulate you for their purposes. I am against technology which threatens human health and is unethical. With GMO we are messing with the environment by inrroducing changes that would not occur in billions of years of evolution, selective breeding or with natural breeding.
This is more evidence of why we need a ban on GMOs. We don't need bubble gum flavored coffee or whatever crap they come up with, I like how my coffee tastes just fine. I like the bitterness that coffee can have its flavor profile as it is, the flavor of coffee is what makes coffee what it is. We don't need people telling us to drink less caffiene, if someone doesnt like the caffiene, drink decaf, or mix decaf and regular coffee to get the caffiene level that you want. No need for screwing up the coffee genome.
The fact is, GMOs are not safe, and its not the same as selective breeding. Selective breeding puts natural limits on reproduction since only the genes of two of the same species can be combined. There is a slower rate of change which limits the risk and the danger. Because GMO allows for changes that would not occur in regular selective breeding, the danger is greatly and vastly increased. Studies have shown that GMOs can cause liver and kidney damage and can cuase cancer. I know some of these studies were done by Greenpeace. So what. Do you expect the pharmacuetical corporations will be glad to carry out studies that show their own products kill people? Its much easier to see a profit motivation behind studies funded by pharmacuetical companies who have a profit motive, than a non-profit like Greenpeace which only has your welfare and the welfare of the environment in mind.
This is basically designed to bring the old big media, broadcast ways to the internet. Hence, to basically destroy the Internet, allowing for mass reproduction of centrally created Corporate content, where independant voices are locked out. The protocol is designed for that, mass distribution of corporate created, centrally distributed content to an ignorant, consumption only masses which are treated with disdain and objects of manipulation by the elite. This is to bring big media and the stranglehold they had for so many years on information the public has access to back.
With the Ipv6 transition needed its time to focus on that rather than on this plan to destroy the internet and turn it into the digital equivalent of 100 channels of centrally produced, elite controlled, one way cable television programming designed to psychologically manipulate and control a feeble and dim witted public.
No thanks and get your #%#% hands of my internet.
The point I think i would make is, that its good to have a programming language mathematical system and library of functions from a programming environment, but it also can be useful to have as well a more GUI environment, for instance, it makes things faster to be able to just hit Sqrt key on the GUI rather than to have to type in sqrt(number). Both the programmatic way and the key based way are importand and have their uses, so I do not want to be misconstrued as downplaying the need for a rich mathematical programming environment with a complete suite of mathematical functions and features, modelling, graphing, etc. which I know is important.
Thank you, that is good to know.
Pyzo is interesting nonetheless. Having a mathematical programming language is important, there is no doubt.
At one point, there really was no powerful analog for a graphic calculator on Linux, I mean one with the same user interface with all of the easy to access buttons that such a calculator has through the GUI. That may be the case still. Anyone have any recommendations on a Linux application that could completely replace all of the functionality of the TI-84, in functionality and user interface?
Technically, half of the states have not opted to use the federal site, but have decided to not participate at all. This led the federal government to run the site without the state, although an authority not granted to it by congress under the law.
