      Then perhaps we should add Worldcom and Orinoco to that list to yield the W.O.M.E.N. of wireless.

  2. OT: Please do not cast return of malloc() by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 1, Funny

    In your sig you cast the return value of malloc(). Please do not do this. Since the language was standardized and malloc() returns a void pointer, the cast is not necessary. At worst, it can hide a very serious error in your code if you forget to include stdlib.h. (If you do this, the compiler assumes malloc() returns an int and the returned value may be improperly aligned .. but since you explicitly cast the return value, you're all but preventing the compiler from ever warning you about this.)

    That is all.
