More like a big nuke missile, but with the warhead removed. It's still big, bulky, and not very nimble, but it goes exactly where you want it to go, and it doesn't blow everything up.
Which isn't a good as it sounds, if what you are trying to do is nuke something.
The reason people say this is because you can use straight C when the extra speed is paramount. Can you run inline C code in java without needing the interpreter? Using straight C code inline in Obj-C is a bit like using Assembly inline in C. It's there when you need it.
You can do that in C++, however.
It's a bit blurry, though, where the boundary is between "inline C code" vs "C++ or ObjC written to be efficient" i.e. not using things like late binding and runtime introspection.
No, because they're actually counting number of infections cleaned.
They also give it as a percentage of the number of executions, but that would go down if a country had more executions of the tool.
Also, the tool runs itself once a month. Is there any way to run it manually?
Regardless of light pollution, no spiral galaxies have ever been visible (as spirals) to the naked eye.
I've seen M31 (Andromeda) with the naked eye, and it certainly didn't make me think of a swastika - more a smudge.
I know slashdot probably hates youtube for some reason, but this is very funny.
I can't speak for slashdot in general, but I usually don't follow youtube links in forums because the url gives me no idea what they are.
Once I saw your reply that mentioned it's Mitchell & Webb, though, I jumped on it - those guys are pure gold.
Hence "decided that the money he will pay out for the few lawsuits he gets because of dead kids is a lot less than buying paint not riddled with poison."
The point is being able to stop the harm that would have been caused by negligence towards customers, before it happens.
If you have to wait until after your kid's been poisoned, then it's too late.
I think the 5-year gap in (consumer) Windows OS's after XP is part of it - it's not that it was released in 2001, it's that it was still the most recent version until near the end of 2006.
Back to the main topic, the only time a reboot should be required is a kernel update, and I seriously doubt IE 9 patches the kernel. Reboot to install a browser? Insane.
I can't find a reference, but I believe IE has been known to patch the kernel from time to time.
And considering the things that are implemented in the kernel, it's not so surprising.
Of course, Windows also isn't so good with replacing executable files that are still loaded, so it doesn't quite reach the ideal state of "only time a reboot should be required is a kernel update" anyway. But I suspect you know that.
Kind of an interesting note, I just recently updated Firefox to the latest version, and for some reason the latest update wanted me to restart my computer.
I didn't read it wrong, it wasn't restart the browser, it was restart the computer.
Was this on Windows or Linux (or other...)?
Sometimes* Windows doesn't want to replace an exe or dll because it's already in use, so schedules it to happen on the next reboot.
Maybe it was that?
* i.e. I can't tell why it does it in some cases and not others.

Hear, hear.
You put that beautifully, and I wholeheartedly agree with you.

... I don't get it.
Is that another way of making the spider silk?
Stallman has guns? I knew he had a katana, but I didn't know he had guns.
*googles*
Bahahahaha! Sure they did.
No company would ever just go with what they know without looking at alternatives at all, no sirree.

I thought that was some variation on OMFG at first.

"Ehpardonez moi, allez vous un bouillon dolare? Non? Moi aussi."
"Pardon me, have you soup dollars? No? Me Australian."
Have I got that right?
Me.
That's not what creativity is.
What can't you do from the command line on a modern Windows Server box? What requires the GUI?
The untrained user.
No word yet on the school colors or whether a uniform will be required.
... and also no word on whether the school canteen will serve wedges with sweet chili sauce, sour cream, or both.
So what?

Um... "a time in the late nineties ... Windows NT 4... "
I don't think that many people were using desktop virtualization back then.
Perhaps you missed that there is a link to the docs in the fine article summary on this very page?
any kind of pissing algorithm
I only really know the one...

False! Tits are on Page 3! Sadly, no pussy.
Real! ones are on page 4.
The same arguments could be made for any other kind of mind-altering, highly-institutionalized scenarios, like prison.
Or college.
It could, but in the opposite direction. College tends to encourage acting out, exploring drugs/alcohol, etc.
And people in prison are known for their upright behaviour.
Er, I meant "gaming vs not gaming"...
So instead of
Sigh, the issue is not gaming vs gaming.
you meant
Sigh, the issue is not gaming vs not gaming.
?
I think that needs parentheses to clear up the order of evaluation.
... and it's nice knowing the food on my plate is relatively unlikely to contain any additives that aren't plainly listed on the packaging.
... and that the water coming out of your tap hasn't been contaminated with chemicals that aren't safe for human consumption.
Oh, wait...
