Yes that is exactly how it works. You specify which permissions your app needs in the xml manifest. These permissions are displayed to the user. If your app attempts to use an API which requires permissions not specified in the manifest, the app gets a security exception. It doesn't rely on the developer being honest.
Compiler-optimized code on a 64 bit machine compares 8-bit characters 8 at a time. This guy is trying to force a context switch (upwards of thousands of instructions) to save 4 or 5 instructions. It doesn't save CPU (because of the context switch), it increases the latency, it's harder to code, and may be still vulnerable! sweet.
Of course you are right but how many alpha particles does it take to make a meaningful amount of helium gas? I'm too lazy to do the calculations, but off the top of my head, I'd guess that's an insane amount of alpha radiation. Is this really enough to not bother with conservation?
since the OP was unaware of exploits targeting DirectX, I provided an example
No you didn't. You provided a information about a patch for a potential vulnerability. The OP and I are still unaware of any exploits targeting DirectX.
You can't count on bitmaps either, because of Gamma Correction and similar issues. That's why I always directly stimulate my user's optic nerves. But even that isn't perfect.

it's useful in for loops:
///...
for(int i = 0, j = 20; i < j; i++, j--)
{
}

Enough with the TLA acronyms!

Are medicine and nursing less stressful than engineering?
I don't know about Java, but .net already has symbolic offsets, and so would not benefit from (or need) this. I'd guess that Java is the same.

The parent was moderated 'insightful', but I suspect it was derived by brute force.
