Dennis Ritchie, 70, Dies, Programming Trailblazer. An Open Letter to Chris Dodd. Mr.
Dodd, I hear you’ve just given a speech in which you said “Hollywood is pro-technology and pro-Internet.” It seems you’re looking for interlocutors among the coalition that defeated SOPA and PIPA, and are looking for some politically feasible compromise that will do something against the problem of Internet piracy as you believe you understand it. There isn’t any one person who can answer your concerns. But I can speak for one element of the coalition that blocked those two bills; the technologists. I’m not talking about Google or the technology companies, mind you – I’m talking about the actual engineers who built the Internet and keep it running, who write the software you rely on every day of your life in the 21st century.
I’m one of those engineers – you rely on my code every time you use a browser or a smartphone or a game console. I’m writing to educate you about our concerns, which are not exactly the same as those of the group of firms you think of as “Silicon Valley”. Project web – sourceforge. v6 Examples.

ImageMagick is, first of all, an image-to-image converter.
About These Examples of ImageMagick Usage These pages were developed from, and are a continuation of, my Collection of ImageMagick Hints and Tips page I first started in 1993, and placed on the new fangled world-wide-web making its appearance around the same time. Command Line Environments All examples are written for use on UNIX, and specifically GNU/Linux systems, using BASH scripting.

Einstein Letter on God Sells for $404,000. Neal Stephenson Responds With Wit and Humor. 1) right to keep and bear code - by arashiakari Do you think that hacking tools should be protected (in the United States) under the second amendment?
Neal: Such is the intensity of issues like this that I can't tell whether this is a troll. I'm going to assume it's not, and answer the question seriously. I'm no constitutional scholar but I'm pretty sure that the Founding Fathers were thinking of flintlocks, not perl scripts, when they wrote the Second Amendment. Also, remember that there might be unwanted side effects to classifying code as weapons. It's difficult to form an intelligent opinion on issues like this without doing a lot of work. See and especially To make a long argument short, what I have learned from Matt's writings on the topic is that (1) it's not a new issue, (2) it's a First Amendment issue, and (3) it's best in the long run, for all concerned, if vulnerabilities are exposed in public. 2) The lack of respect... - by MosesJones I was taken aback. "I'm...a writer," I said. What if the Secret to Success Is Failure?
