That works by protecting the encryption algorithm, and thus, prevents from anyone being able to make a dictionnary.
That is the same idea as if you would send your RSA public key AND be stupid enough to also send your private key to the same instance (which you would be amazed how much people do, such as SSH newbies...)
Anyone has considered the fact that the glass is only the container and what's important is the cognac?. If I follow that analogy, the glass is the music player and the cognac is what you listen to/want to copy, etc.
In that case, if you spill your cognac on the floor, you never get a free replacement....
So yes, that analogy was so dumb I cannot believe this guy was head of something different that the head of idiots,
I dont want to appear as a troll, but long documents can be handled just fine if you make good usage of styles and such features.
Most people I worked withs where actually not using M$Office properly, leading to a big messy unprintable file. Very often, M$Office users just do not know how to use it.
I have already edited a lot of huge documents, including math articles (with formulas) spreaded through many Word files without much troubles by formatting the documents properly (Math equations are a real pain to do in Word, this I happily admit).
Having said that, I still use OpenOffice...
So I would mostly blame the one in front of the screen rather than the one IN the screen...
Yes I do. Since then obviously the music industry has disappeared (sic!).
The difference now is that lawyers jump on your back on any occasion.
This world is disgustingly crazy.
From the article: "We remain concerned about any devices or software that permit listeners to transform a broadcast into a music library,"
Now - 20 years ago, I had a tape recorder with which I used to record a lot of broadcasted music. My whole music library came from radio broadcasts at this time. I don't recall anybody being sued for recording on tapes, or people being "concerned" about it, although a tape recorder would also qualify as a "device". Suing everyone or even thinking about suing people as soon as they move, is that the 21th century idea of freedom?
Really, this whole RIAAMAAASSHOLE/RMAPIAZAAA whatever you call this bunch of idiots, doesn't make any more sense. They only care about getting more money, and that should stop.
This is really getting infuriating to me.
I was about to Ask Slashdot about wherever it is relevant to upgrade XP to SP2 given the fact that:
I have 3 machines running XP
I have no problem whatesover with my current XP installations.
I am security conscious (I should say paranoid actually...) and all my machies are behind a router which is set to disallow about everything in, aside from port 80 which goes to a Linux machine
I am not one of those less knowledgeable end-user since I work like most of you in the computer industry and have been there for the last 15 years
Seeing all the potential problems XP SP2 can bring in, is it worth the update?
I resent having to type stuff like:
X509CertificateSimpleChainVerifier x = new X509CertificateSimpleChainVerifier();
It took me 2 seconds copying/pasting this. What's wrong with copy/paste if you do not like typing?
Also, interestingly enough, without any other code, I can read that you are dealing with X509 certificates, and you are about to write something to verify one.
Verbose comes with the benefit of understandability! It's great!
Funny that your username is the name of the French unemployement agency.
With such junior-programmer-like comments like yours, no wonder why...
Every senior programmer will tell you there is nothing like a lengthy variable name, or class name, or whatever has a name and is used to program.
If you really fancy it, Java does not prevent you from writing a class called "A" with a method called b(). However, I am not sure about how much your teammates will like you after that.
Also note that it is actually what obfuscators do...
You missed the entire point while happily going in the usual pitfall of blaming the garbage collector.
There ARE badly Java programs too, which can make things pretty slow, and various JVM implementations which exposes various GC behaviours.
Think twice, your brain has two hemispheres. Use them.
One has to admit that a statement such as Of all the great programmers I can think of, I know of only one who would voluntarily program in Java. And of all the great programmers I can think of who don't work for Sun, on Java, I know of zero.
can only come from someone who doesn't really have a global picture and is a bit narrow minded. Otherwise, he'd think more, open his eyes and will find some happy Java developers around. Obviously, this argument is flawed on purpose and all he wanted to do is revive a closed debate that has been around since Java is out, which is a bit pointless IMHO.
I think Paul Graham should have been modded "flamebait" or "troll" at best.
Well...look at how Java programs handle their property files through the use of one API (actually, one class). It ensure that:
* Config files all look the same.
* You don't need to write your own parsing.
All apps still work when you re-install your OS, unlike Windows App.
As an example, I had to re-install WinXP and Linux Mandrake recently. I lost all my settings from the Windows machine (because it's all in the damn registry) and NONE on Linux.
I am definitely not a Linux fan, but really...the Windows registry is an awful shame.
Have you ever tried to restore the user's settings after a reformat of a Windows system?
Obviously not...It take far more than just re-installing the damn Windows from a CD.
And you're generally better off avoinding a reformat, because OF COURSE, users want to keep their computer the way it was.
Try explaining you are going to wipe out everything they had.
I don't understand who can mod you insightful.
It's nice and honorable of you to give the benefit of the doubt.
However, being married with somebody who does editing work for many editors, I know authors have no say in anything when their work is handed to the editor's office. And definitely not a title change.
Following the whole story, it sounded that Katie T could not have her say in the whole thing.
They did what was the ONLY thing that could go right for THEM. Don't worry, they did nothing else than work toward their own interest.
Obviously, they've tried to force an issue. The lawyer was badly wrong trying to intimidate somebody while knowing there was no way a court would rule in their favor. She had no idea of how an Internet community can be powerful in those matter because it's not their primary business.
Seeing all the harm that was done by people like slashdotters (including comments in Amazon.com), they backed up right away in order to appear as good as they could given the damage already done to their reputation.
So do not think this title change was done to help Katie.com. It's all in the sake of keeping their business healthy.
Great...Nanotechnology and flying cars in 2020. All will stop nowaday's machine gun bullets.
Fine...
Now, who can tell what power a machine gun will develop in 2020? Will we need a technology in 2020 that can stop technology from 2004?
I am not sure.

Good to know I can make it in the long run!
