Vu sur <URL:http://gnudist.gnu.org/humor/gnu-overflow.html>: The recursive acronym "GNU's Not Unix" harbors a stack overflow bug that can cause the English language to crash and may allow arbitrary linguistic commands to be executed, according to a message posted on gnu.acronym.bug this morning. All sites running GNU software are urged to apply a temporary patch which changes the expansion of the acronym to "GNU Needs Users", until a permanent patch is avaliable. GNU project founder Richard M. Stallman is currently hunting the error in the acronym he created over a decade ago. [...] "The stack problems that are endemic in the computer industry today are a direct result of the widespread adoption of English as the language of choice," said one Dothead. "English is a fine tool for low-level descriptions and expository writing, but it offers too many inconsistencies and is far too unstable to use in production environments. It's time to move to languages like Esperanto that feature built-in stack protection." -- Eric Marsden emarsden @ mail.dotcom.fr It's elephants all the way down _______________________________________________________________________ Le CULTe sur le ouebe: http://savage.iut-blagnac.fr/
