Han from China helps you with your killfile

Hey, guys.

I noticed plenty of people feel the need to update me
on the status of their killfile every time my nom de
plume changes as a result of the mail2news gateways
I'm using. (I'm admittedly a bit of a coward and don't
want to be executed by my government or by members of
the CLC Squad.)

These killfile status updates, the purpose of which
is beyond me, are cluttering the newsgroup with off-topic
drivel. There are thousands of people reading this newsgroup,
and even if 1,000 people killfiled me, which is highly
unlikely, I fail to see how I would be deterred from posting
my on-topic, important posts. It's absurd to think I didn't
expect to be killfiled on this newsgroup, so it's not as if I'm
sitting here in a state of shock.

You can killfile me on my subject lines as follows:
1. ".* Dick Heathfield's book errors"
2. Anything containing the words "Han from China". I'll
follow protocol and stick to subject lines containing
those words.

I'm a gentleman kind of troll.

Yours,
Han from China

My usual technique (every newsgroup has a different killfile in
this newsreader, so I've done this multiple times) is to kill all
posts from anonymising proxies. If someone's not prepared to
attach an identity to what they say, I don't believe they're
saying it with enough conviction to be worth wasting my time on.
Life's too short to be reading the petty spewings of cowards.

We'll see how long you last...

No, people feel the need to warn other users that you're a morphing
stupid troll.

No, you're just a troll.

Actually, no; they're providing a significant bit of information, in
that the clueful members of the community here are signalling to others
that they're not bothering to read any more of your posts.

This should be an even more significant bit of information to you,
especially if you spent long enough lurking to realize who the clueful
members of the community actually are. What you do with it, of course,
is entirely up to you.

I'm sorry. I forgot to mention that I had killfiled "Borked", "Nomen",
and "Han". If more of his trolling, anonymous, sniping crap appears
under another name, I'll killfile those as well. The purpose of such
announcements is to warn others about your destructive, anti-social nature.

Hi, I have been reading the article at http://www.crockford.com/javascript/private.html and I was wondering if there also was some way to be able to have private methods that can be called from public methods, but not from outside. Just throwing an exception if a private method was called from outside would be sufficient, but I don't know how to determine if the method was called from outside. Anyone else thought about doing this?

About a month ago, Heathfield posted the peudosource for random permuting from TAOCP. It was all of maybe five lines. You needed to be able to do two things: be able to get a random number in a range and swap. I remembered that Dan Pop taught me to write the swap as a macro. With forum improvements, this became: #define SWAP(m, n) (tmp = (m), (m) = (n), (n) = tmp) The random number comes, again with forum improvements: int...

FWIW, I'd like to signal to everyone here that I've stopped reading J. K. Rowling.

The troll calling himself "Han from China" has made a habit of starting a new thread for each followup, with a meaningless subject line such as "(part 33) Han from China answers your C questions...". He often writes things that call for a response. The result is that a disturbingly large proportion of the current traffic in this newsgroup is in threads with "Han from China answers your C questions" in the subject header. On the first...
