Re: Aaron Swartz, a brilliant person, a sad ending
Aaron was a great hacker who fought for individual/information freedom. Anonymous defaced MIT's website with Aaron's article[1]. I wrote an article for dedicate to him[2]( I sent this one to mailinglist but still waiting for approval). MIT was the origin of computer/bio hackers.

At the time of his death, he was facing 13 felony charges and up to 50 years in prison: Prosecutors had accused him of using MIT's network to download too many scholarly articles from an academic database called JSTOR. - Swartz's friends and family have said they believe he was driven to his death by a justice system that hounded him needlessly over an alleged crime with no real victims. [He was] forced by the government to spend every fiber of his being on this damnable, senseless trial, his partner Taren Stinebrickner-Kauffman said at the memorial, with no guarantee that he could exonerate himself at the end of it. http://www.rollingstone.com/politics/news/why-did-the-justice-system-target-aaron-swartz-20130123 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Swartz http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/13/technology/aaron-swartz-internet-activist-dies-at-26.html?_r=0 ___ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il -- GNU powered it...

hey Steve, I checked my clock setting that is correct. Maybe some mail server got some problem!

Re: [YBA] When does write to UDP socket block?

Hi linux-il colleagues,
In = 2.6.31 are there any conditions under which a write to a connected UDP
socket can block? e.g. some change in routing or iface config after connect
and before write?
udp socket doesn't need to use connect() but instead of sendto()
Has anyone encountered a concrete exampe of a write to a
UDP socket that blocks? See test code below. That is, I am trying to
demonstrate that I can get to a situation where UDP write in fact does
block.
You might be interested in some sample code of tcp/udp socket:
https://github.com/citypw/SCFE/tree/master/networking/userspace_socket
if (0 (rc = connect(sd, (const struct sockaddr*)serveraddr,
sizeof(serveraddr {
printf(connect failed [%m]);
exit(1);
}
I think you have written a tcp socket program. Am I right?

[net]hacking the wholism of GNU/Linux net*
hi guys, I have written an article[1] for newbies who are willing to learn networking stuff in linux kernel. I hope this introduction-level article can help you understand the mechanism of netfilter and NIC driver. I should thank Shlomi Fish who is still in this mailinglist. I sent a mail which was not readable for humanoid a few months ago. Shlomi keeps correcting my writing after giving me a great lecture[2] about writing style, especially thanks for these 3 advices below: --- 1. No whitespace before and/or after punctuation. 2. Lack of proper capitalisation. 3. The paragraphs are too monolithic and the sentences appear to be too long. -- For this article, any critical comments are welcomed!

[hacks]hacking on MIT OCW
hi guys, let's make long guffings short:There are great open courses we can learn a lot from MIT OCW.I think a correct order in study curve is that begin with SICP[1] and 6.087[2](writing in C).Lisp and C giving you a different postions to looking at a same thing:The truth of computational model.then get to know about relationship between OS and programming languages itself(compilers) in metaphysical that it's important as if a man who has a strong faith but need to understand about hen and eggs which is came out at first time when SOMEONE created the stuff.Speak straightforward,either you can write a OS[3] when you got a compiler or you can write a compiler[4] when you got a OS.
