Do you really want to be using a library from someone who thinks 'odd' means divisible by 3? Or that you'd need a library function for this? but hey at least he's got tests...
The ironic part is that the originally proposed name for the state was Columbia but Congress thought that would be too easily confused with the District of Columbia.
Actually it looks like that saying is from the bible, Proverbs 17:28. Of course the wording isn't exactly the same so I guess it isn't exactly a "quote".
Just goes to show even 2000 years ago people already knew that STFU was the best policy.
The Gnucleus source distribution also has this problem (in addition to tons of warnings, at least under VC7). I think you'll find all the files that should be under res\ are actually in zlib\. You can hand pick them out and move them to res\ or if you just want to compile quickly just duplicate zlib\ over to res\.
The captain of an American container ship off the coast of Indonesia is reported to have said "Whoops, my bad" and totally tried to play the whole thing off.
This guy write the funniest, most intriguing perl modules around. And he gives really funny presentations. If you ever get a chance to see him give a lecture in person be sure not to miss it.
They're moving at 250 miles/sec way the hell up in the sky, the ground distance covered is probably a bit less. I don't think there is a Kazakhstan conspiracy.
I'm much more amused by the fact that astronauts have become so common, boring, and unrecognizable that the article refers to them simply as "an astronaut" instead of giving their name.
How about "the majority of the american people don't care"?
Saying that laws are unfair becuase you or your neighbor failed to vote is just a cop out. The solution is to actually get off your ass and do something (besides whining on \.). Democracy isn't easy.
Is this what the founding fathers had in mind when they penned "no unreasonable search and seizure"? You know he won't see that hardware returned until it is no longer worth its weight in scrap metal.
I think advertising that you have 40 gigs of copyrighted music and movies available for free distribution is pretty good cause for search and seizure.
What if some company passes a law that not tying your shoelaces is a crime? Are the police gonna start prosecuting that one?
Copyright laws are laws of the federal government, they can be changed if enough citizens don't like it. Your opinion is not the majority opinion no matter how loud you bitch about it.
It's not like campus police don't have anything better to do. How many rapes and muggings are there in a year?
...
How many blue laws are still on the books but wholly ignored by the police? Laws about sodomy come to mind, or spitting on the Sabbath.
Now I see! Selective enforcement is ok as long as the police check with you first.
If you want to rant about the tyranny of corporations, try to edit out some of your stupider paragraphs before you post.
The RIAA can't seize the computer so what they care about doesn't matter.
It was seized by the police, they just care that he was violating copyright laws. In fact they didn't say music or videos, they said they would examine the computer to see how much "substance" he was distributing.
As Larry Wall has said "Open source should be about giving away things voluntarily, when you force someone to give you something, it's no longer giving, it's stealing. Persons of leisurely moral growth often confuse giving with taking."
I think those of us who really believe in "open source" would appreciate it if all you "morally relaxed" individuals would try to shut the fsck up when you're in public. Thanks.

...try visiting about:internets in the Google Chrome browser.
I also remember that problem with Apache. Here's the report and the code change involved for that particular bug.

Is it too much to expect the editors of Slashdot to even begin to do their jobs?
I wasn't able to get to Security Focus to see what they had on this but I was able to get to CERT. They have this on their current activity page.
As of now there's not much more information there than is in the story already.
Other than the Code Red II backdoor it looks like it's mainly trying to exploit the unicode url hole.

I've been to a couple of his talks and $55k USD is easily worth it to get this guy writing perl full time.
:Pe rligata, Quantum::Superpositions, Class:: Mul timethods and Coy.
Who else is going to write Lingua::Romana:

If I ask a lawyer a question, even though it costs him nothing to produce the answer, I would still expect to have to pay.
I don't see why our expectations about software and programmers are any different.

The theory is very interesting but how do you get the data in and out of an electron?

If it was Tabitha Soren I would pay attention... Adam Curry, I'm just not interested.
This sounds a whole lot like LAUNCHcast. And they aren't even in trouble with the RIAA.
