Say you store a password in a memory buffer. Use it. Then overwrite it with a call to memset. If this buffer is never used again, a compiler may think this is a wasted write and optimise-out this call to memset.
Seems I am in a minority, but I like gnome 3's simplicity.
I don't like how much resources it consumes, but I can not have everything.
I like gnome 2 as well, but I decided that I should not be wedded to any particular GUI and that I should use different ones to maintain awareness of strengths and weaknesses.
I have used Unity, mate, gnome2, gnome3, xfce, kde (not so much) and I try others from time-to-time, but I seem to prefer gnome3 right now.
If Gnome had supported both v2 and v3 I suspect no one would care, but they seemed to abandon v2 and that upset it's community.
Gnome 3 does have a fallback mode that seems very close to v2 in look and feel - is this so bad?
It is artificial (AKA marketing) limitations like this that cause me to balk when considering Apple products.
I have several.
And I like them.
And they work well.
But I have not purchased an iPhone and instead I will probably get an Android phone and one for my wife as well.
I like the iPad, but these limitations, no camera and the high cost of the extra GB's will cause me to look for something else.
And while I am on the topic, iTunes is also a great system - as is iPhoto. But I am feeling locked-in and I will move to something like Picasa for photos and ??? for music, videos and podcasts.
The abstract of the article seems to say there were actually 4 changes in total.
But these changes are in the 'letters' - the T(U)CAG. These are grouped by three's into Codons (I think) and this process adds a lot of redundancy since there are only 20 different amino acids - multiple codons code for the same amino acid.
So, changing GCU into GCG makes no difference in the amino acid produced since GCU, GCC, GCA, GCG all code for Alanine.
Given the 64 letter combinations code for 20 amino acids, the true error rate may be 1-2 changes over the 13 generations.
ClamAV is listed as one of many Open Source products included in Leopard.

Spam assassin is also used.
I suspect they are both used for Apple's mail app.
How much is that per household?
According to the Australian Bureau of Statistics, there are 4.3M households that have broadband presently. This is 52% of all about 8.3M households.
Now $43B / 8.3M is about $5200 per household.
I wonder who is going to pay for this.
Ok, US average according to wiki
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_countries_by_electricity_consumption
is about 12,000 kWHr per person per year. But this average would include industry and government consumption averaged over the whole population.
Would Rock Port, Missouri have significant industry to make it's consumption only slightly less than average (about the same as AU average)?
10,000 kWHr per day per person seems far too much.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_Port,_Missouri
Wiki says that there are about 650 households, so each consumes 55kWHr/day - Csn this be right?
It could also be useful for the trust worthiness of code from various authors!
- Poorly written/designed code will probably have more faults and require more edits.

Mathematics would be an axiom for this wouldn't it?
Nothing. But as other have mentioned, it is not really necessary. There are very few registered transmitters within 100 km: http://web.acma.gov.au/pls/radcom/site_proximity.nearby_sites_list?pMODE=DD&pLAT=-26.70417&pLONG=116.6589 More info can be found here: http://www.acma.gov.au/WEB/STANDARD..PC/pc=PC_100628 And transmission limits here: http://www.acma.gov.au/webwr/radcomm/frequency_planning/frequency_assignment/docs/ms32.pdf And my rough estimate of Australia's SKA site: http://maps.google.com/maps?q=26.67s,+116.7e&hl=en&sll=-33.718613,150.617295&sspn=0.012244,0.022724&vpsrc=0&t=w&z=8
Does this mean that you wont be able to install another version of Windows either?
