Well, I can get valid challenge/response combos . . . but how does that help me? I can't just look at them and go "oh, the algorithm to go from asdlkfj40t9u234lk to q34098u09asgd09a is . .."
Clearly I will need the dumps for testing, but they aren't enough to get from here to there.
I was trying to add RTSP/RTP support to wget, but it turns out that
Real uses a "secret handshake" to validate clients before xmiting data.
Is this at all unclear that I am having problems with a Real extension to the protocol?
To answer your question, I have. One of those pages indicates that Real is within the bounds of the protocol (RTSP) to give a challenge and refuse to stream the data if it doesn't get the "right" response.
I guess I am not clear if you are trolling me, or if/. has degenerated to the point that when someone asks about trying to implement a protocol, links to the relevant RFCs is actually considered insightful.
I was trying to add RTSP/RTP support to wget, but it turns out that Real uses a "secret handshake" to validate clients before xmiting data.
I am simply not smart enough (or at least not knowledgeable enough about debuggers and asm) to reverse engineer the protocol. I tried to check the Helix source a few weeks ago . . . but obviously it wasn't there.
Does anyone know if the handshake code is included in this source release?
The compiler requires you to declare variables, but does not require you to initialize them. Does that mean you can get away with leaving them uninitialized? Well, you might program your entire life without coming upon a reason not to. If you don't initialize them, however, you will almost certainly run into a very difficult bug, probably sooner than later. Using an uninitialized variable is perfectly valid syntax, but is always a logic error. The compiler won't complain, but you will get wild, unpredictable, and wrong results. In the worst case, you might get believable, but wrong results. This leads us to what to use as an initializer. Most people use zero. Using an "obviously wrong" value may be more useful. Often a maximal value (such as int students="65536") is more obviously wrong. [Emphasis added for this post.]
This isn't variable initialization, but the principal replies. Data that you know are junk should look like junk! Trying to "fake it" or make it "look good" is exactly the wrong thing to do.

One of the things I have always appreciated about the Free Software community is the way help of all kinds is given (to those seen as deserving!) freely.
My perception of the way books are normally written is very close to my perception of how proprietary software is developed. In secret, with help only from those with a financial interest in the book.
I'm in the process of writing my first book, which I intend to distribute under the FDL.
So, my actual question is, does anybody know of a mailing list or other "support group" for (aspiring) Free Book authors?
Shootouts did happen in the old West, particularly between criminals and law enforcement (think O.K. Corral). BUT THEY HAPPEN IN THE MODERN WEST (and the rest of the country) TO THIS DAY. So what's your point?
When Fla. started handing out CCWs people didn't start shooting eachother on the highways, but the rampant car-jacking bullshit stopped.
A bunch of New Englanders didn't defeat King George's army by flipping them off.
As for gun laws, they're a joke, unless you think it is actually difficult for a criminal to get a gun as a result of the laws.
True, but the impact I was alluding to was that people won't fuck with you if there is a good chance you are armed.
Case in point. Those "liberals" in the Maryland area set the stage for this "sniper." Do you think that if 30% of adults of able bodies and sound minds were packing in that area this SOB would still have the balls to do what he is doing . . . ?

Actually, very little police force would be needed in a state where there is no gun or drug prohibition.
Well, I don't think that they claim no bias. I think that they claim to give the most relevent results.
Besides, as far as I can tell Search King started an arms race by gaming the ranking system. They were succesful for a while, but google corrected for the abuse.
There is some pretty compelling evidence that gluten, a grain protein, triggers autism. Many parents of formerly autistic (!) children swear that a gluten-free diet "cured" their child's autism.
For some unknown reason the medical/scientific community has been very resistant to studying this phenomenon.
At the risk of causing someone to invoke Godwin's law, there is a very real historical example of the kind of "safety" that gun registration gets you. There is a great article at the JPFO's website that is better than any explanation I could give.
The EnGenius pumps out 200 milliwatts of radio signal, compared with the 30- to 100-milliwatt range of most 802.11b cards, and
similarly boosts reception for incoming network packets.[emphasis mine]
Huh? Can anyone explain this? Seems flat out wrong to me, but what do I know?
It seems that this would require a recompile to have any benefit.
Soooo, if you are going to recompile anyway, why not target a processor with 128 64 bit GP registers, or whatever IA-64 has, instead of piling yet more cruft on top of x86?
I'm not even convinced that it would be easier to modify existing i386 compilers to take advantage of this "advancemnet" than to get equivalent performance out of an immature IA-64 compiler, with more room for improvement.
It allows the user to configure his agent to display an unordered list as he likes, and will save you the embarrassment of things like "I carry: * linksys usb NIC"

It has been discussed before, and I don't think it will ever be accepted into wget :-(
If I ever get it working I'll submit it, and in any case I'll make a patch available.

The WWW is an assortment of web pages accessable over the Internet.
Web pages contain "links", called "hyper-links". The idea is that when a word or phrase naturally leads to another page you link it.
Here is a counter-example:
where the text in italics is a link to some photos. See, THE WORD PHOTOS SHOULD BE THE FUCKING LINK.
Next time we will discuss why the word "here" shouldn't be linked, unless it is to here.
