They use SVN still?

The [[:print:]] will match any printable characters like åä, while the [ -~] will not.

I used this once as another safeguard against pushing binary data into the database. It was a poor system to begin with where you even have that possibility... and it happened at least once before the fix and my safeguard was in place.

Whats the thing with saying "Only 2 files" what if it is only 1 file, like bottle.py, but the 1 or 2 files contain 10 000 lines of code? Im just saying.

Yes I can read it.

The argument I was trying to make is to bring attention to the difference between a file and a book, they are different beasts, sure you can read them, but its not the same thiing to read a book and to read from a computer screen or kindle. Its just not the same.

The author has no right decide how I am going to read the book. Its the redistribution which he holds a right to. Lets take the discussion to what form of distribution copyright should apply to. Lets discuss who can decide when to read and how to read a text. Who has the right and who has copyright?

Its not just so simple, oh hey copyright, do as I almighty author say. Where is the consumer-rights in all this debate?

Somebody is mad about their book being read. Cry me a river. If you didnt want your book to be "stolen" then dont write it. You, as author, will not control what I read, how I read and where. So yes, I am gonna "steal" that book from you, just to steal from you, and then delete it from my computer. Its probably not worthy of being read anyway.

And furthermore, nobody is sharing your book illegally, they are sharing a digital copy of your book as a data-file, which is very quite different from a real book. You cant hold it you see, you cant smell it, you cant borrow it to your friend, only make another copy.

Ah bomberman! Very cool. The game is a bit laggy for some reason for me, but still cool.

How long did it take to make the graphics/sprites?

"The thing is when I used internet cafes, the first thing I would always open would be email."

Seriously? Intenet cafes are the least secure computers to give your email and password to. Sure for junk and spam-email accounts, that you dont care about anyway. But logging in to your personal email account on an internet caffe!? Thats madness.

I know (well at least internet sources told me) he worked for a government agency in France similar to NSA in USA.

Probably still is, and netgem is his cover.

This approach is very easy to bypass by any knowledgable hacker.

Since you said your WiFi is open, the only thing that needs to be done is fire up the aircrack-ng airdump and sniff, there I would see your MAC, in the clear. Then I could set my own to it or select any other mac I have seen connecting to for a longer while ,and use it and access your router and add my other mac on its whitelist.

Surely a new logo and "branding communication" will change the way a corporation works and conducts its business.

Ive seen a legacy application still in use which puts the password in a (non-secure) cookie as ROT13 and cleartext in the db.
