    Considering the only true part was about RPM being the LSB standard, I think he just might have been trolling

  10. It's 'Most Stupid' no matter how many... by cnelzie · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    ...time you say 'stupidest' it still won't become a word...

    I find the misues of such a word by a programmer to be quite funny, since programmers can quite often be quite excellent with the written language.

    In fact, I know a few English majors that turned out to be exceptional programmers, since programming is simply a combination of imagination and learning the rules, complex or otherwise, of a new language. This isn't much of a leap from learning the rules of the English language.

    Yeah, go ahead and mod me off-topic, ignore the thread I am responding to why don't you...

    If you ignore the other uses of a tool, does that make the tool less useful, or you less useful?

    Computer instructions include arithmetic operations such as ADD or SUB.
    Computer instructions include logical operations such as AND or OR.
    Logical AND is maybe a bit redundant, (illogical AND?), but avoids confusion as a synonym for ADD as in "2 and 2 are 4".
    & is a binary operator which produces the logical AND of its two evaluated parameters.
    && is a flow control operator which evaluates its right-hand parameter only if required to determine the truth value. This is NOT what was referred to.

    ASM goes something like:
    LOAD flags
    AND FLAG_CONSTANT
    JZ around_blah

    C could be as simple as:
    if ( flags & FLAG_CONSTANT ) { blah ; }
