| r_schestowitz | Thanks so much for your email. I'll give it some careful thought | Oct 18 08:19 |

| r_schestowitz | (i) don't panic. When WIPO tried to silence the IPKat with legal | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | threats some years ago, he received a phone call from one of the Deputy | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | Directors-General followed by two legal letters before action, only to | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | discover that, as a body established under an international convention, | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | WIPO didn't have the legal power to sue or be sued in any national | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | court. This may be so for the EPO, one way or other. It's worth | Oct 18 08:19 |

| r_schestowitz | Hi Merpel, | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I am enormously relieved to hear your take on it. Thank you. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | Please don't take this public, at least now yet, for I fear that this is just one among several such threats. See who the letter is addressed to. It's a name that's not mine and it's a German name, so I'm thinking either a member of SUEPO, which recently received such threats (e.g. to remove links to FOSSPatents and even Heise News) or some journalist in Germany. I already know of a war on the media; deterrence tactics. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | Sources tell me that next week there may be some new BB campaign intended to crush dissent in new, unprecedented ways. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I don't assume privacy in my E-mail, but anonymity tools and sometimes encryption keep the sources safe. Nobody, as far as I'm aware (and I'm checking), came under threats or problems due to communication with me. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I am still eager to establish, factually, whether there is any link (personal, e.g. former employer) between Control Risks Group and GCHQ/CESG. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I think this story may continue to develop for at least another year to come. I still have some very damning material in my possession -- too damning to even publish at this moment. | Oct 18 08:27 |

| schestowitz | The error is similar to guru meditation in the case of Varnish, but for Squid we have this: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/TroubleShooting#Why_do_I_sometimes_get_.22Zero_Sized_Reply.22.3F | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | This happens when Squid makes a TCP connection to an origin server, but for some reason, the connection is closed before Squid reads any data. Depending on various factors, Squid may be able to retry the request again. If you see the "Zero Sized Reply" error message, it means that Squid was unable to retry, or that all retry attempts also failed. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | What causes a connection to close prematurely? It could be a number of things, including: | Oct 20 00:26 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-wiki.squid-cache.org | SquidFaq/TroubleShooting - Squid Web Proxy Wiki | Oct 20 00:26 | |
| schestowitz | An overloaded origin server. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | TCP implementation/interoperability bugs. See the ../SystemWeirdnesses for details. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Race conditions with HTTP persistent connections. | Oct 20 00:26 |

| schestowitz | Denial of service attacks. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Utilizing TCP blackholing on FreeBSD (check ../SystemWeirdnesses). | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | You may be able to use tcpdump to track down and observe the problem. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | {i} Some users believe the problem is caused by very large cookies. One user reports that his Zero Sized Reply problem went away when he told Internet Explorer to not accept third-party cookies. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Here are some things you can try to reduce the occurence of the Zero Sized Reply error: | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Delete or rename your cookie file and configure your browser to prompt you before accepting any new cookies. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Disable HTTP persistent connections with the server_persistent_connections and client_persistent_connections directives. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Disable any advanced TCP features on the Squid system. Disable ECN on Linux with echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn/. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | (!) Upgrade to Squid-2.6 or later to work around a Host header related bug in Cisco PIX HTTP inspection. The Cisco PIX firewall wrongly assumes the Host header can be found in the first packet of the request." | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | So what we do know is that one page only was affected as such, meaning that either the caching went wrong or the root page fails to deliver a page, repeatedly. Assuming that Squid and Squiz come 'hand in hand', which I doubt, this indicates a Squiz issue, but otherwise, without having access to the broken snapshot, it is easy to replicate or to see at what level the issue occurred. I will look deeper into the logs for clues. | Oct 20 00:26 |

| schestowitz | This judge/IT specialist is accused of speaking to colleagues about Topic (see http://techrights.org/2014/11/16/six-criminal-lawsuits-against-zeljko-topic/ ), but EPO goes further by accusing him of speaking to the media or orchestrating something a lot larger than that (which may be a bogus accusation and even if true an allegation, such an action may be justified).

| schestowitz | There are two things I’m angry about, the loss of an environment and the damage to applications. The second one is more important to me. | Oct 20 18:36 |
| schestowitz | The loss of environment is not a very big deal for me because I moved to E16 a decade ago. I would have liked it if the changes and supposed technical improvements to KDE made were enabling things I like instead of removing them for the sake of “user simplicity”, but I can live without their desktop environment. | Oct 20 18:36 |
| schestowitz | The loss of applications is coming from toolset churn burn out, and that hurts me more than damage to the KDE desktop. One of the more maddening differences of KDE 4 is how inefficient it is on ssh -X. That sucks, but I can live with it by using other tools for remote tasks. When a developer quits working on Dolphin because they spent too much effort moving to KDE 4 and don’t want to spend more of their life moving to KDE 5, I lose | Oct 20 18:36 |
| schestowitz | Dolphin under any environment. Had those developers moved to Trinity, I’d have a better Dolphin today. KDE 4 PIM is broken, but Trinity PIM still works. I wish that the Trinity PIM had a few very narrow technical improvements that the KDE 4 branch has, like symlinks in email virtual folders and Outlook import. There’s a long list of real improvements that could have been made to KDE 3.x with much less effort than was put into KDE 4. | Oct 20 18:36 |
| schestowitz | Gnome, by way of contrast, has been making a desktop that I think is interesting. It has a really nice pager and icon box set up that seems to be efficient. I don’t know enough to say if they have had the same kind of toolset churn and burn out that KDE has, but I’m noticing the decline of KDE features way more than Gnome. | Oct 20 18:36 |

| schestowitz | When I began writing my article I knew that UW isn't all that bad, but then again, in the field of computing it's not so extraordinary, neither by reputation or achievements. There are some areas in which each university is exceptional (I always tried to stick to those) and areas where they're a total embarrassment filled with incompetent people and underfunded buildings, facilities, etc. The university's name as a whole is what keeps | Oct 20 20:07 |
| schestowitz | some fools coming there (they just want the name/logo on their diploma, for those who don't know how the disciplined vary like many PHBs in job interviews). | Oct 20 20:07 |

| schestowitz | From what I could gather when I looked into admission in US universities (I was 16 or 17 at the time), it can cost a lot more in prestigious universities, about 40-50k a year, for 4 years. That's like a very nice nice all in all, for just a diploma (which these days might not get you much anyway). | Oct 20 22:23 |

They simply will NOT examine/consider/try to understand anything that is not created by the Redmond Empire. | Oct 24 07:24 |
| r_schestowitz | What is so desperately sad, is that all those governments are trying desperately to save money.......need I say more ? The Brits are now realising that Microsoft is simply a black hole down which their cash disappears.....and more EU countries are doing the same.....Australia though ? Doesn't want to know and the Microsoft devotees in the IT departments make sure that it continues the same way. It's just so very sad. | Oct 24 07:24 |

Another problem is that change will only come if the politicians realise that a move like the UK's will save huge amounts and of course, they are "advised" by their Microsoft dominated IT departments.

| r_schestowitz | Dear Roy | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | Thanks so much for your email. I'll give it some careful thought | Oct 18 08:19 |

| r_schestowitz | (i) don't panic. When WIPO tried to silence the IPKat with legal | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | threats some years ago, he received a phone call from one of the Deputy | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | Directors-General followed by two legal letters before action, only to | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | discover that, as a body established under an international convention, | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | WIPO didn't have the legal power to sue or be sued in any national | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | court. This may be so for the EPO, one way or other. It's worth | Oct 18 08:19 |
| r_schestowitz | investigating; | Oct 18 08:19 |

| r_schestowitz | This is the only legal advice that I got, from another blogger who is covering the EPO saga... (very few blogs are focused on these abuses) | Oct 18 08:20 |
| r_schestowitz | Hi Merpel, | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I am enormously relieved to hear your take on it. Thank you. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | Please don't take this public, at least now yet, for I fear that this is just one among several such threats. See who the letter is addressed to. It's a name that's not mine and it's a German name, so I'm thinking either a member of SUEPO, which recently received such threats (e.g. to remove links to FOSSPatents and even Heise News) or some journalist in Germany. I already know of a war on the media; deterrence tactics. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | Sources tell me that next week there may be some new BB campaign intended to crush dissent in new, unprecedented ways. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I don't assume privacy in my E-mail, but anonymity tools and sometimes encryption keep the sources safe. Nobody, as far as I'm aware (and I'm checking), came under threats or problems due to communication with me. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I am still eager to establish, factually, whether there is any link (personal, e.g. former employer) between Control Risks Group and GCHQ/CESG. | Oct 18 08:27 |
| r_schestowitz | I think this story may continue to develop for at least another year to come. I still have some very damning material in my possession -- too damning to even publish at this moment. | Oct 18 08:27 |

| schestowitz | The error is similar to guru meditation in the case of Varnish, but for Squid we have this: http://wiki.squid-cache.org/SquidFaq/TroubleShooting#Why_do_I_sometimes_get_.22Zero_Sized_Reply.22.3F | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | This happens when Squid makes a TCP connection to an origin server, but for some reason, the connection is closed before Squid reads any data. Depending on various factors, Squid may be able to retry the request again. If you see the "Zero Sized Reply" error message, it means that Squid was unable to retry, or that all retry attempts also failed. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | What causes a connection to close prematurely? It could be a number of things, including: | Oct 20 00:26 |
| -TechrightsBN/#boycottnovell-wiki.squid-cache.org | SquidFaq/TroubleShooting - Squid Web Proxy Wiki | Oct 20 00:26 | |
| schestowitz | An overloaded origin server. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | TCP implementation/interoperability bugs. See the ../SystemWeirdnesses for details. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Race conditions with HTTP persistent connections. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Buggy or misconfigured NAT boxes, firewalls, and load-balancers. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Denial of service attacks. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Utilizing TCP blackholing on FreeBSD (check ../SystemWeirdnesses). | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | You may be able to use tcpdump to track down and observe the problem. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | {i} Some users believe the problem is caused by very large cookies. One user reports that his Zero Sized Reply problem went away when he told Internet Explorer to not accept third-party cookies. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Here are some things you can try to reduce the occurence of the Zero Sized Reply error: | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Delete or rename your cookie file and configure your browser to prompt you before accepting any new cookies. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Disable HTTP persistent connections with the server_persistent_connections and client_persistent_connections directives. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | Disable any advanced TCP features on the Squid system. Disable ECN on Linux with echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/tcp_ecn/. | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | (!) Upgrade to Squid-2.6 or later to work around a Host header related bug in Cisco PIX HTTP inspection. The Cisco PIX firewall wrongly assumes the Host header can be found in the first packet of the request." | Oct 20 00:26 |
| schestowitz | So what we do know is that one page only was affected as such, meaning that either the caching went wrong or the root page fails to deliver a page, repeatedly. Assuming that Squid and Squiz come 'hand in hand', which I doubt, this indicates a Squiz issue, but otherwise, without having access to the broken snapshot, it is easy to replicate or to see at what level the issue occurred. I will look deeper into the logs for clues. | Oct 20 00:26 |

| schestowitz | There are two things I’m angry about, the loss of an environment and the damage to applications. The second one is more important to me. | Oct 20 18:36 |
| schestowitz | The loss of environment is not a very big deal for me because I moved to E16 a decade ago. I would have liked it if the changes and supposed technical improvements to KDE made were enabling things I like instead of removing them for the sake of “user simplicity”, but I can live without their desktop environment. | Oct 20 18:36 |
| schestowitz | The loss of applications is coming from toolset churn burn out, and that hurts me more than damage to the KDE desktop. One of the more maddening differences of KDE 4 is how inefficient it is on ssh -X. That sucks, but I can live with it by using other tools for remote tasks. When a developer quits working on Dolphin because they spent too much effort moving to KDE 4 and don’t want to spend more of their life moving to KDE 5, I lose | Oct 20 18:36 |
| schestowitz | Dolphin under any environment. Had those developers moved to Trinity, I’d have a better Dolphin today. KDE 4 PIM is broken, but Trinity PIM still works. I wish that the Trinity PIM had a few very narrow technical improvements that the KDE 4 branch has, like symlinks in email virtual folders and Outlook import. There’s a long list of real improvements that could have been made to KDE 3.x with much less effort than was put into KDE 4. | Oct 20 18:36 |
| schestowitz | Gnome, by way of contrast, has been making a desktop that I think is interesting. It has a really nice pager and icon box set up that seems to be efficient. I don’t know enough to say if they have had the same kind of toolset churn and burn out that KDE has, but I’m noticing the decline of KDE features way more than Gnome. | Oct 20 18:36 |

| schestowitz | I should be able to attempt an upgrade to 15.10 next weekend, I hope, time permitting (there is a release on the 22nd).

| schestowitz | From what I could gather when I looked into admission in US universities (I was 16 or 17 at the time), it can cost a lot more in prestigious universities, about 40-50k a year, for 4 years. That's like a very nice nice all in all, for just a diploma (which these days might not get you much anyway). | Oct 20 22:23 |

| schestowitz | In my opinion Assad is better because he does not pretend to have a religious country, as far as I know catholics and muslims where living in Syria without major issues. Moderate rebels and ISIS will very likely want a muslim country, and one has to see what happened to Afghanistan and Iraq to not want to be a US territory. | Oct 23 13:08 |

| r_schestowitz | " | Oct 24 07:23 |
| r_schestowitz | "Phase 3 will have M$ putting the Open Source developers under contract with non-compete clauses, so they can't go anywhere else, setting in motion a brain-drain in the FOSS community." | Oct 24 07:23 |

| r_schestowitz | That's too... ummm... obvious... ? | Oct 24 07:24 |
| r_schestowitz | It's just not going to convince the many, many folks who, in the final analysis, don't want to accept (and apparently just choose to not remember) just how underhandedly Microsoft is prepared to conduct itself, and has repeatedly shown itself to be comfortable with doing so. | Oct 24 07:24 |
| r_schestowitz | There's this sort of open-eyed amnesia, not just in the "mainstream media", but also in the technology-oriented media, and pervading an astonishing proportion of IT departments and computing techies.

| r_schestowitz | BernardSwiss, you ain't seen nuttin'. Virtually every government IT department in Australia at Federal and State levels is staffed by people who do not believe anything exists outside the universe created by Microsoft.....and that is the Australian tragedy. They simply will NOT examine/consider/try to understand anything that is not created by the Redmond Empire. | Oct 24 07:24 |
| r_schestowitz | What is so desperately sad, is that all those governments are trying desperately to save money.......need I say more ? The Brits are now realising that Microsoft is simply a black hole down which their cash disappears.....and more EU countries are doing the same.....Australia though ? Doesn't want to know and the Microsoft devotees in the IT departments make sure that it continues the same way. It's just so very sad. | Oct 24 07:24 |

| r_schestowitz | The Australian government are sadly lacking in any sort of nouse when it comes to IT or pretty much any sort of technology. In my mind it stretches back to the Menzies era when the government decided we where no more than a 'meat and potatoes' producer and had no room for technological endeavours. | Oct 24 07:25 |

For instance, the pharmaceutical prescription software runs on Windows and is therefore part of every doctor/specialists software and ensures that they MUST run Windows. And there are other equally problematical software lockins.....BUT..there is NO doubt that Australia at all govt. levels could save an enormous amount by moving to the free | Oct 24 07:25 |
| r_schestowitz | office suite ......Libre Office......The UK has finally realised it, but the Redmond blinkers remain secure for Australian IT. Another problem is that change will only come if the politicians realise that a move like the UK's will save huge amounts and of course, they are "advised" by their Microsoft dominated IT departments. This is even more disturbing than a vendor lockin because it is an IT mental lockin." | Oct 24 07:25 |
