Yeah, I reported a bug when compiling Mozilla with -O3, and Ulrich had a fix pretty quickly, I can't say anything for how good an architect he may or may not be, but he seems to have a good handle on the development side of things.
But it's great to have a book like this on your shelf when you're trying to have a discussion with a co-worker who doesn't understand why corporate Web sites need to be user-friendly.
Is that because its particularly heavy and will leave a good imprint in said co-workers skull?
Because sure people make stupid mistakes even (especially?) with billion dollar transactions. But the funny thing about the stock market is that the money doesn't ever go away. Whenever someone loses in the market, someone else has made a profit.
Economics is not a zero sum game, the stock market especially so. New stocks arrive, companies go bankrupt, the stocks disappear. Its not a closed environment
I wish you could have seen the ZX81 demo that did colour and sound. Which doesn't sound impressive until you realise it was a black an white machine with no sound chip.
Ah yes, I remember the climax where the spooks put an axe through the failsafe machine and said "transmit now har har harharhar! Whatdya mean it was a fault tolerant cluster? Bugger.
Of course for pointless optimisation you'd just do perl -e 'print "5050\n"'

Is the fact that listening figures are down 10% in the U.S. since the market was deregulated a sign that the market has not been totally successful? You can measure success in many ways. - Profit, Revenue, Listeners, Diversity.
I prefer the British system (and I am biased) where some of the RF spectrum is reserved for public radio (The BBC). This has some varied, and quality stuff. There is also commercial space, with the more homogonized genres. It is probably more workable over here, as we have a comparatively small geographic area.
The point I'm trying to make, however, is that you don't have to divide up the airwaves "all commercial" or "all centrally planned", but you can do a bit of both. (Even if it sounds like a choice between free market and command economy)
I guess you can listen to the BBC World Service;-)
How could they tell from a traffic analysis that Netscape are capturing the source address. Its in every ip packet for pity's sake. It would be a minorly impressive trick (since its a one way connection it could maybe done with a spoofed address, althouth a lot of corporate firewalls may not let such spoofs out into the wild) to remove it. Maybe the ip is in the payload too?
In the UK its haemorrhoid, like haemorrhage and haemoglobin. Haem being to do with blood (its the red iron containing bit?). However you spell it it is still horrible, however.
Pah, in my day we were to busy working 27 hours a day down the mine to site around and rehash old jokes. Old geezers today don't know they're born. Luxury I say, sitting around and rehashing jokes.
Do companies loose [sic] massive amounts of money on copied software - or is it just that the amount of copied software would be worth a massive amount of money if it was bought. Do you think the people running pirate copies would be buying the games if they couldn't obtain the pirate copies?

Its marginally better than Windows 9x, although to be fair they claim nothing.

I don't know if it's a good idea or not, but it seems to work for me.

La plus ça change, la plus c'est la meme choses.
With apologies.
Knowing Perl very slightly it wouldn't surprise me if there is an Inline::APL or Language::APL lurking somewhere.
Hey, I'm a Gillingham fan. Why do people always use us as the canonical team nobody wants to watch. Why not Preston or Millwall?
Shit, I was happy when I got a 720kB floppy for my Spectrum. Never heard about hard disks, though of course there were always Sinclair Microdrives.
I know its a bad habit to quote out of context, but this is a classic:
How many lawyers does it take to produce cold fusion?
I guess they could say that Microsoft Sucks (tm) and be fairly popular.
Idle thought: I wonder what the ratio is of tech savvy people to the number who drive manual transmission vehicles.
Well in the UK its probably pretty small, as pretty much everybody who drives has manual transmission.

Depends how you define operating system.
Sorry this was just a thinly disguised attempt to grab the attention of the person who has my first choice username. ;-)
The FSF web browser is called wget.

Plus, enough packet sniffing would allow a determined hacker to do it anyway, regardless of how obfuscated they try and make it.
Couldn't the same argument be used to say that ssl is insecure? Or perhaps you were being deliberately understated in how much sniffing is enough.
