So we have somebody who thinks you need a gun in case of the government and somebody who doesn't. I think the one who thinks he needs to be armed is the one who is frightened of the government.
(x+y)+z != x+(y+z); - correctly evaluates to false in C, the parentheses can safely be ignored because they are redundant and make no difference to the outcome.
I think the parent was assuming that x, y, z could be function calls with side effects.
x = x++; is basically undefined - How so?
x is modified twice in the expression without a sequence point. There are two ways code could be generated:
Set a temp variable to the value of x Increment x Assign the temp variable to x
or
Assign x to x Increment x.
Both are legal. Actually, since the behaviour is formally "undefined behaviour", the compiler is free to generate code to do anything or nothing.
I had a look at their home page and it looks like some sort of technical blogging and news site. The fact that nobody who has commented on this story seems to know who they are (or were) is probably a clue as to why they have gone tits up.
Furthermore the Americans solved the 4-rotor problem (even harder), something the British were not able to do.
That's bullshit. The British knew exactly how to crack the four rotor problem: they needed bigger and faster bombes, but they didn't have the resources with which to build them. In fact, by using some tricks, they were able to have some success with the existing equipment, but a permanent solution was only arrived at when the USA joined the war. An agreement was reached to share cryptanalysis efforts and the Americans with their enormous resources and significant design input from the British were able to build the required bombes.
Actually, in your scenario, the source code does not lose its "freedom", but the derivative work never gets it. This means that the changes never get back to the community, but the original code is there as fee as ever.
It's important to note that I can take a piece of GPL software and modify it and still not give the changes back to the community. In fact, even if I distribute my modified software, I only have to give the changes to whomever I distribute it to. Of course, I can't then stop them from giving it away to anybody who asks.
That is because the terrorism was not religiously motivated. Religion had a polarizing effect on the population of Northern Ireland, but the motivation for the terrorism was political, not religions: it was the Irish Republican Army, not the Irish Catholic Army.
Well most writers were always unable to convey the tone of their writing. Generally speaking, most of us only read the best writing from ages ago. Back in the 20th century, pretty much everything I read was written by people I knew personally or people who were good enough writers to get published in books and newspapers and magazines.
Now, Twitter is spammed relentlessly by the illiterate arseholes who were always there but couldn't get published in the past.
This is utter nonsense. XHTML is not a an HTML renderer, it is a standard for an XML document format.
If your browser misrenders an HTML4 document because it thinks it is XHTML, the problem is either the browser itself which can't distinguish different document types or the person who wrote the web page and erroneously put the xml processing instruction at the top.
Without knowing *why* the castle is gone, I have no idea what your point is.
Usually, if it was a stone castle, the building materials were robbed out to make new dwellings. The reason that people could do that is because the owners abandoned them as being shit places to live.
With buildings, as with other man made items, technology moves on. Generally speaking, a house built now will be more comfortable, easier to heat and more suited to modern life styles than a house built 50 years ago. Who cares if the old ones fall down? If you are going to knock it down and replace it with something better, money spent making it last a millennium is wasted money.

The only thing homeopathy prevents is the marks spending their money on things that actually do something.

Not while it still suffers from the fragile base class problem.

To be fair, the one liner didn't do any error checking either.

No. It's always stood for "closed circuit".
Care to guess how much of N3200 as it is today was actually dug out of that beach?
It's practically a new aeroplane.

To be fair, the example gives the same output as would be seen in the example from TFA.

Why did Apple ever bother with Unix certification then?
The 747 won't be far behind. Nobody wants to buy four engined aircraft anymore.

Living on your knees is entirely appropriate in a modern liberal democracy according to David Cameron.
Yes, but you can monitor the Internet for encrypted traffic and anybody found using it is automatically a terrorist. What could possibly go wrong?

They just tools that write it for them after drawing it in Photoshop.
Should that be "they just use tools" or "they just are tools"?

why would a label NOT WORK the next day
Off the top of my head, one reason would be that the price is calculated based on the rates on the day of shipping.

You could probably flip out a modern system every year for less than the annual support and maintenance contract that the DWP is probably buying.
Given the technology available and the relative size of the Earth's population, he was a whole lot worse than any of those three.
In fact, according to http://www.coindesk.com/price/ the price has dropped about 15% in two days.
