Heh, you fell right into my trap. I ~deliberately~ chose to argue using the 1997 version of Office, and the only fact that you can throw at me is that ALL the later applications are in the entire office package, thus proving my point by not addressing the original point. You lose.
There can be many ways to cause buffer overrun, not just in strings. The solution you propose addresses only strcpy or strcat, and only on the PC, with a specific memory layout design.
It does not matter if the stack grows downwards or upwards. In any case, if the address of the return value is predictable, it is possible to overwrite it.
I'd rather NASA spend the money on maintaining contact with the Pioneer spavce probes. It has taken 30 years for them to get there, and now, when they are at the edge of the solar system is where the scientifically interesting data can be found. Don't drop the ball!
A devil's advocate is not a troll. A troll is someone who is FISHING FOR A RESPONSE. A devil's advocate can keep the discussion interesting, without being TROLLISH. Playing devil's advocate with oneself a sensible way to think. Trolling yourself is just masterbation.
There never was nine. That's a lie that Lucas perpetuated. Giving him credit, maybe he has an outline of the PLOT but an outline of a plot alone is not enough to call it a "saga"
The story is already fixed. It's the characterization that's important now! And I doubt Haydon Christensen can put it off. If it was Natalie Portman that gets turned to the dark side, I would believe there's hope for Star Wars Ep III.
Here's how to read it: The grandfather post said that. The parent post tried to convey that you could WIN at roulette in the manner. A crucial distinction of PHRASING that should not be ignored.
Informative? If you bet $237 on red and black, if it comes up red, you lose $237 and win $237. THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE. You might as well have NOT BET AT ALL. The same if comes up black.
Wrong. Reducing pollution will help for other reasons such as: preventing a mass extinction of non-human plant matter, allowing more efficient means of energy production and storage.
Why does it have only to be about solving one problem alone? Sometimes, we solve more than one problem at a time. If global warming is not a key issue to instigate us to act FAST, what is?
It is true that science is not a democracy, but if you are not equipped to evaluate the data, you had better learn to TRUST the people who can and have.
Which is true, but in selecting the best tool for the best jobs, one should be guided by more objective metrics, other than the subjective impression of control. Document size and complexity, file size, preservation of semantics all contribute towards deciding for TeX over Word, other than for the smallest of documents.

I don't call a fool someone who can come out with aperiodic tessellations.

Yeah right. This kind of thinking is exactly why we get MS Office.
Have you ever paused to wonder why Office includes Access, Excel, Word, and Powerpoint, but not Frontpage, or Photoshop or Publisher?

is FEACAL!
Correction. It is sunk cost. But the reasoning is not fallacious.
This may be the future, but why should any joe schmoe get to decide that, rather than at least the executive producer or director of the series?
I'd rather NASA spend the money on maintaining
contact with the Pioneer spavce probes. It has taken
30 years for them to get there, and now, when
they are at the edge of the solar system is where
the scientifically interesting data can be found.

OK, let's talk about precision of language. What hypothesis about abiogenesis does this eliminate?
This is the kind of precision of language that leads to endless, senseless debates. Senseless debates over semantics.

No re-edits can save them now.

How about "Who is this idiot and why is he gesticulating wildly while talking about last night's American Idol?"
Slashdot ... critical opinion ... Hahahaha!
I care enough about this idea war that I will not voluntarily use MSWord. It's my work that forces me to use it.

So one question: how much carbon do we need to restore into coal seams to reduce CO2?
It is true that science is not a democracy, but if
you are not equipped to evaluate the data, you
had better learn to TRUST the people who can and have.
What does that mean, spending more time preparing the document?

You are a troll. Not human, a troll sir.
