Hmmm, I guess it does in C/C++. In Java however, the code refuses to compile on the grounds that i>0 is not a statement. That's the problem with languages with a similar syntax. You expect things to work the same but they end up being just different enough to annoy you. The first time I made an int-array I assumed all values would default to 0 at creation. Got some raised eyebrows when I tried to run the code.
It all depends on the language you're the most familiar with. I see x++ and x-- as pure int-increments and decrements and not at all like a booleans which made me assume that it would not work. That's Java purism alright.
That's ok because this loop will never end. You mixed up x-- and x>0. It will either refuse to compile, throw an error at runtime or loop forever. Depends on the language you use ofcourse.
What is the real use of getting a man to Mars or another planet other thean bragging about it for the next 70 years? Somehow, some people are in favor of a manned space program. The question is, what is the tangible benifit of sending people to the moon/Mars/Jupiter/Proxima Centauri?
I feel that there is a lack of a concrete goal, something to stand behind. Something that has a good probability of pay-off in the future. Is "finding out things about other planets" a goal that convinces people to support (manned or unmanned) spaceflight? What do we really want?
As far as I know, yes it can be flashed. I believe that consumer hardware can be flashed to support ipv6. Unfortunately that is not enough since you need to include ipv6 support in all software that likes to use the internet. We still have a long way to go but consumergrade hardware with ipv6 support would be a good start.
I hope they include sensible and up-to-date standards and protocols. I'm thinking about the possibilities of the interface of the tomato firmware and importantly, inclusion of ipv6 support. If we want this to happen in this generation we need to get software support on at least basic networking devices(thinking of routers and OSes).
It almost seems like a grand conspiracy against the use of multiple spaces. It doesn't help that I'm used to WYSIWYG text editors. And that I'm too lazy to remember every useful HTML entity.
Note: I make use of plain old text input instead of HTML, so I assumed that there wouldn't be any meta-editing to my message(other than link source clarification).
Apparently, Slashdot likes to mock me and transmorph my upper password from "bdf[10 spaces]" to "bdf[1 space]". Let's hope Slashdot doesn't let this idiotic input filtering system into it's password system.
It's rather ironic that a site dedicated to new tech and such is still in the website design/behavior Hellinistic period. It wouldn't surprise me if the webservers still run 2.2.* as the Linux kernel.
"For capitalism to work it requires a fair market."
That's why capitalism doesn't work, since it never guarantees a fair market. Only a goverment can through rules and regulations try to approach a fair market. The essence of a company is to subvert all those rules and regulations and become the most powerfull company in existance. That's how you explain abusive monopolies and lobbyists. They come from the center of all the greed of a company. The invisible hand of Adam Smith is simply a powerfull force(most of the time the government) who tries to halt unfettered growth that leads to abuse.
Because it does not fall into the standard/. creed.
If you don't support the/. groupthink(which they say they hate but deeply love)(which is ironically doublethink) you will be downmodded as troll/flamebait/overrated. It seems that the overrated tag is made especially for this situation. Some people may disagree with a message that is not troll or flamebait so there needs to be a solution. That solution develops in the form of overrated. Overrated is nothing more than a cheap populous vote on the popularity of the opinion. Don't agree with a post? Mod it overrated/underrated to "correct" the score.
Slashdotters claim to believe in absolute freedom of speech but if your opinion is unpopular it is hidden from sight. Well, that isnt a problem because everybody can still see it via the view levels, right? True, but it obscures the message and that is all/. needs, to make it harder to see views that do not conform to groupthink. It's like the great firewall of China, people with will can surpass it but it stops most people from seeing unwanted information and that's enough for them.

Slashdot Mirror
Well, Augments need to keep a low profile you know.
Slashdotters are courageously rebelling against this law by using a lot of swearwords.
Thanks Slashdot, the worlds takes nerds more seriously right now.

"---> for (int x=100; x--; x>0)
After the function ends, the astronaunts die. "
That's ok because this loop will never end. You mixed up x-- and x>0. It will either refuse to compile, throw an error at runtime or loop forever. Depends on the language you use ofcourse.
It's called nationalism.

"Have you tried the CCCP codec pack with Media Player Classic?"
No because I have ethical objections against communist software.
Then we probably get software/OS that "wipes" the RAM when it shuts down.

Wow, a Lamarckist on /.
Is there a logical approach to this or do I panic?(????? or profit?)
Replace 32-bit with ipv4, 64-bit with ipv6 and PAE with NAT. See the parallels.
Diamonds and shoes.
The rest is of lesser importance.

Easy
"bdf " is a reasonably safe pasword
"bdf" will be brute-forced within a second
If I input the upper and believe I'm reasonably secure I sure hope that the program doesn't foobar my input and change it to lower.
If you aren't allowed to insert spaces, asterisks, unicode or binary object files the program should simply say it.
Things it shouldn't do:
1. Foobar the input
2. Crash
3. Foobar the entire computer
Mod parent overrated since it has been fixed.
Sadly, there is no mod for correct/incorrect information.
And you get your money back :)
It could be a rogue communist CA. That way, they're both!

Why would you use a comma before the word 'and'?

Sounds like capitalism at its finest.
Personally, I'm waiting for a rain and fog powered laptop. If it can be powered by cold that's ok for the winter too.
