Spy Hunter and Seicross -- These two are lumped together since neither one has an end. They just keep repeating. Spy Hunter is a car game, where you look down
on top of your car. You use guns, oil slicks, and smoke screens to force enemies off the road. I still remember the music. Sometimes, they play variations of it on the
radio--I'm not kidding.
Uhh not quite...It's called The "Peter Gunn Theme" and it's a wee bit older than the Spyhunter game. Cool game though:)
And who do you think creates those special files? Not the devices. They don't know dick about the inner details of the operating system including stuff like file systesm, kernel operating systems or whatever. The thing that creates those special files is the device driver itself. When a user program performs an ioctl on a device driver file the driver catches that and sends it through to the device, generally by writing to an area of memory that is mapped to the devices registers.
Slashdotted again. I never get to see these cool sites. Oh well I'm off to hotmial.com to check my email before I go to yahhoo.com to get the latest news.
baaaah a truly l33t lisp haxor would not define fact recursively anyway:
(define (fact_it n total)    (if (= n 0)         total         (fact_it (- n 1) (* n total)))) (define (fact n)    (fact_it n 1))
But that's just me. I haven't done any lisp in so long:). It makes me feel...free
And for those of you C/C++/perl people who look at this and think it is *still* defined recursively, well let me just say that lisp is a true tail recursive language. That is to say if a function returns the value of a recursive function call (without doing anything to that value) then it will take up no more stack space than a function call that was not recursive. In fact the function definition above is not actually recursive (technically speaking) since it does not do those things. I suggest you read The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs (and hopefully you will become enlightened).
N.B. No need to moderate this down. Address complaints directly to Linus.
Why moderate when you can reply? Personally I am quite happy with the way the kernel is progressing, in any case considering every release is available including every patch it is hardly vaporware. It's not like Linus is some huge corporation spending vast sums on a piece of software that doesn't even exist yet.
hehe...the natural party in New Zealand has Yogic Flying as the central part of their platform. They say if elected they'll have an elite group of several Yogic Flyers working round the clock to solve the worlds ills.

you need to rename the file containing the program to "waiting". Then run it.
"The mythical man-month". You cannot speed up development simply by putting more programmers on the job. It's been tried, it doesn't work.
Yes I too have read "The Mythical man Month". Good book isn't it? However that was not the conclusion I took away from that book. I believe the point was that in a traditional programming situation (tight deadlines, marketing driven) putting more programmers into an (already late) software project will make it later rather than accelerating things. However he also noted that it was possible in some circumstances to add programmers to a project and to have the negative effect of more programmers (increased communication costs, removing programmers from the job to teach the new ones) be outweighed by the positives. These were under circumstances where the project could be divided up into largely independant tasks without too much communication required, and where possible you should try to add new people as early as possible so as to give them as much time as possible to get up to speed.
Now in the case of your typical Open SOurce project dealines are more or less non-existant because the focus is on getting the thing right rather than releasing as soon as we can (who cares if it takes another month or two? You gonna pay me to release earlier? No? Well then you can wait). Therefore adding more people to an open source project can be done at more or less any time with few negative effects (since the "deadline" is more or less any infinite time away). I suggest you have a look at Eric Raymonds essay The Cathedral and The Bazaar for a much more detailed, in-depth explanation of why the Open Source model allows us to do stuff that other software models do not.
Well, hasn't Alan Cox been releasing on a regular basis a list of all the "issues" preventing them from releasing 2.4? I seem to recall there were about 40 or so things on that list. A few less than 65000 but hey who's counting:)

Sice most of the code is in a difficult to understand file with over 200000 lines, how can it be consdered open?
Lemme get this straight...If it weren't for reverse engineering there would be no windows? Hang the bastards I say :)

Java doesn't have pointers
(Assuming it takes about 5 hours for a truck to drive the round trip):
:)
1) Get one large truck.
2) Get approximately 1.5million CD-ROMs
3) Put 3) into 2)
4) Drive to Frankfurt from Gernsheim
5) drive back
explanation:
1.5million CD-ROMs @ ~ 600Mb/disc == 900000000Mb
divide 900000000/5hours == 180000000Mb/hour
which is about == 48Gb/s
Latency is your problem to solve

(define (fact n)
   (fact_it n 1))

It should be:
$_ = '$_ = ; print substr($_, 0, 5), chr(39), $_, chr(39), substr($_, 6, 66);'; print substr($_, 0, 5), chr(39), $_, chr(39), substr($_, 5, 66);

yeah I just went and looked and I could see Cowboy Neal riding round on a horse and then he looked up and waved at me. Or was it a mirage?
