I actually did mention that. :) I think the system is pretty good. The only problem it has, that I know of, is the price. The user of the service has to pay for every single authentication. Couple of years ago the price was 14 cents per aut

E-government has at least two big problems, and the author faced both of those. First, the users need to be authenticated, as in you are the person you claim to be authenticated. Almost no other web service actually needs to know that. Ba

I would argue that the order of declarations is part of the scoping rules. In your example the variable i is not yet in scope when the assignment is done, and thus the compiler complaints. But this is of course somewhat philosophical. My

In a lexically scoped language I would assume that the scoping follows the lexical representation of the code. The given example goes against this assumption. The variable i is not even defined before it is refered to in the inner funct

Well, to be fair, the NULL check was in a wrong place. The pointer was already dereferenced before the check. struct tun_struct *tun = __tun_get(tfile); struct sock *sk = tun->sk; unsigned int mask = 0; if (!tun) return

By my reading, the spec is not that clear about it. It does say that A user agent that wishes to authenticate itself with an origin server--usually, but not necessarily, after receiving a 401 (Unauthorized) -- implying, imo, that no prior

Why should one worship a god that can't tolerate a pagan man that nevertheless lived a good life? If a god wants the man to be virtuous, why can't the man expect the same from the god?

To me it seems that you (in your code example) have just split the function in two. Two thirds of the parameters are given to the constructor and the last one to the method. It might be what your application needs, but it seems arbitrary ta
