Distributed Statistical Debugging
Luis Villa writes "The Cooperative Bug Isolation Project at UC Berkeley and Stanford is working on statistical debugging techniques to report, find, and fix the bugs that drive the most users crazy every day. A handful of outside bug volunteers have been running the project's special feedback builds for a few weeks, and that has generated some really interesting data. But for strong results they need more runs. /. has been known to generate those kinds of big numbers ;) Their site has feedback builds of several open source applications, and the entire project is open sourced. Read more about it, then install some applications, and help them make our free software better for everyone. I'm really looking forward to the end results."
Eat it Gnaa!

The people who run the Stanford bug checker project run their code on the Linux kernels all the time and post the results. From my POV, about 85% of the stuff it finds are legit bugs, like heap usage bugs.
This sort of thing is a godsend for huge interconnected projects because it makes it so much easier to find bugs without exhaustively searching the entire code.

It's not the exact same thing, but I have no doubts that the code which finds bugs in other code and the code which monitors itself probably share a few common traits. IHNKOE, but either way both toolsets are extremely useful for large projects like the Linux kernel.

The value of American liberty lies not in the fact that we value or agree with the KKK, but simply that we allow them to exist on their own ideological merits. The value of the KKK is determined in a free and open manner by a free society, something 98% of the world apparently abhors.
But whatever, you obviously have an axe to grind with the world's only superpower, just thank your shorts we won the Cold War, WWII, WWI, blah blah, otherwise you wouldn't have the luxury of typing the troll you just penned.
I think she doesn't shave her pubic hair. Mmmm... even thinking about that delicious wet jungle gives me a hard-on.
Freedom of speech should not be extended to those who seek to curtail the freedom of speech. Common sense, but apparently not in the USA.
BOO! TERRO
Same for Gillian Anderson. What, they don't have experienced plastic surgeons in Beverly Hills?
The Whigs were a political party.
Maybe it's because I'd play with natural saggy breasts than the FUCKING UNNATURAL SILICONE BALLOONS you can see everywhere in California.
Not Americans. Americans only chimed in when it became clear that the Russians are kicking the crap out of Hitler. You can't imagine how seriously all this talk about Americans "winning" the WWII pisses off the people who fought with Wermacht for 5 years and lost 35 million brothers and sisters in combat to actually win the war.
More correct figure is about 35mln. Most of Stalin's repressions occured in late 30's, and they're not a part of 35 mln. There was no "alliance" with Hitler. There was, hovewer a pact that USSR and Germany won't attack each other which made a lot of sense, because in early 40's Germany had more military power than any single other country on the planet, and it was pointless for Russia to even try to defeat them alone.
Nobody turned over Jews, SS troops were good at finding them themselves. Nobody protected them much either, that's true. And nobody "enslaved" anybody. Yes, they've established socialist regimes in some Eastern European countries, but this is FAR from what one would call "enslavement" (the nations weren't even economically related). Merely a change of political regime (kinda what the US did in Afghanistan and Iraq TWICE, horribly shooting themselves in the foot in process of doing that).
