[Here's an email going around about the court appearance which Lytle gave me permission to post on Circulars. Accounts of their arrest can be found here and here.
Dear Friends,
After our arrest during the Baghdad Snapshot postering Feb 13 many of you have asked if you could support us at our court date, which is set for March 13.
We would very much appreciate that and are sending out this email to let you know where and when.
We're going to meet at The Criminal Court of Manhattan, 100 Center Street (near Franklin and Leonard) at 9am on Thursday, March 13.
Our appearance is scheduled for 9:30. We think it's in a section of this building called Part DAT, though we don't know, yet, where this is. Which is why we're suggesting meeting outside.
Also, we've now spoken to lawyers who have advised us that the many emails we've gotten from people all over the country (and world, in fact) should be produced in court.
So if you feel outraged by what happened but have not yet written anything about it, this may me a good time for a brief note to us.
The immediate goal is a successful not-guilty plea. But we may also sue the city.
Please email us if you have questions.
Thanks again,
Lytle Shaw and Emilie Clark
But some variables are immortal. These variables are declared outside of blocks, outside of functions. Since they don't have a block to exist in they are called global variables (as opposed to local variables), because they exist in all blocks, everywhere, and they never go out of scope. Although powerful, these kinds of variables are generally frowned upon because they encourage bad program design.
Posted by: Edi on January 19, 2004 12:55 AMThese secret identities serve a variety of purposes, and they help us to understand how variables work. In this lesson, we'll be writing a little less code than we've done in previous articles, but we'll be taking a detailed look at how variables live and work.
Posted by: Aveline on January 19, 2004 12:55 AMThis is another function provided for dealing with the heap. After you've created some space in the Heap, it's yours until you let go of it. When your program is done using it, you have to explicitly tell the computer that you don't need it anymore or the computer will save it for your future use (or until your program quits, when it knows you won't be needing the memory anymore). The call to simply tells the computer that you had this space, but you're done and the memory can be freed for use by something else later on.

Those new variable types I promised last lesson will finally make an appearance, and we'll examine a few concepts that we'll use to organize our data into more meaningful structures, a sort of precursor to the objects that Cocoa works with. And we'll delve a little bit more into the fun things we can do by looking at those ever-present bits in a few new ways.
