Any then you have a choice of which ISP to choose and switch (as opposed to the monopolies that utilities have). And of course some people will claim they can't switch, and this will help them how?
in poker anyways, the house makes its money on the rake. which is, each pot it gets a small percentage (usually this is capped at a few dollars). So the house has every reason to make sure it's cards are random, as people will perform statistical analysis on the cards dealt, and it makes no difference in terms of how much money they make. They want you to play more/bigger hands. So in poker, you're not really competing against the house, just other players and to make money you need to be better than the other players by percentage of the rake.
using such absolutes in statements like that are usually, just wrong.
You have a bomb that's going to explode in 10 minutes killing your family and 100 people. you have a guy who could tell you how to disable it. He won't. WTF would you do? sit there and try to coax him?
I personally would try to get it out of him, then if that didn't work, well.. i'd start beatin gthe shit out of him and tell him i'd kill him if this bomb went off. ANd i'd use whatever weapons i had.
Obviously that's an unlikely scenario, but not impossible. And although i might have nightmares about it for the rest of my life, i would never feel like i did anything wrong, or immoral.
I listen to rap music actually. But it might be for the same reasons, because it music i've already listened to a bunch, so the lyrics aren't distracting me, but the beat and rythme is fast paced. When i listen to stuff i haven't heard before, it's distracting.
ok let's take an example of a program where i know i used strcat
where did i use it? well in this case i only used it at start up. building strings to send to another program. Gonna tell me that made my program slow? cus it sure didn't. especially not next to initlizing the libraries that i had to do, which didn't affect anythign either.
But let's bring another example i did, i had to append a large ass string over and over? know what i did? exactly what you described, kept track of the length and appended it from there. Gonna tell me strcat would have sucked there? well yes, it would have. Funny thing, i avoided it, in that case. (i didn't even realize i had a case illustrating your point about strcat)
What's the saying, 10% of your code runs 90% of the time? so you wanna optimize your 90% of your code with stuff like this? Why not do the thing in ASM?
Efficiency *always* matters. People who think "it makes no difference" are the programmers responsible for all the crap bloatware in the world today... Just because they're in the majority doesn't make them right.
Being efficient enough is always important, over optimizing isn't. There's only 1 case i can think off, where me using strcat would have had a noticeable impact, and that would be a compiler in college i wrote a few years ago now. I think i had a funky usuage of it in there. But even in that case, would it have mattered? nope. instead of compiling in 1 second it took 2? great. don't care, my prof didn't care, and even if it somehow was reused, and it became a problem? I would have fixed it anyways.
Am i concerned? yep. paranoid? not really. it takes a lot f steps to reach your destination, usually. Not sure how close we really are. But we're certainly well along.
I don't know where in the world you get these ideas I want to force businesses to do what I want. Stop making things up..... that's what net neutrality does.
Ok so you like pineapples and pineapples are only made by pineapple company in your area. You instead of not buying the pineapples because they charge to much or whatever reason, you try to get a federal law passed that mandates pineapples are set to your expectations. Swell. You want to force a company through the law to do what you want.
And we don't need a federal law mandating all houses have bathrooms do we? I do not need broadband at all. I like it, I use it, i enjoy it. You have the right to pursuit of happiness, not the right to have happiness whenever you so please.
And so what? If they arent' providing you with something you consider to be worth your money, don't pay them. If texting ona cell phone costs to much, don't do it. If a house costs to much, don't buy it.
Yes comcast throttles bittorrent... as someone who uses comcast and bittorrent, i don't care. If i cared i'd go somewhere else.
Yes, if there were a free market however there is not one. Most of those people who have access through Comcast can only get broadband through Comcast. If there were a free market then there's be a number of different choices, I could choose Broadband ISP1, Broadband ISP2, Broadband ISP3, or another broadband ISP. Most people, at least in the US do not have that choice.
First off, there is, you don't need the internet so you have atleast one other option. For most people there's more than that though.
Second you don't have any sort of right to have the internet exactly how you want it.

Personally I condemn ALL torture, for ANY reason.
What a pity you dont.

Coors light? hah, Molson! Now you own up, wannabe European.
my best code seems to come at about 12-2am. much past 4 and my code sucks unless i'm really in the zone.
why waste more vowels? someone think of the vowels!
Plus hockey isn't a bad sport, but football > hockey any day, and we'll ditch pansy baseball when you ditch (pansy ^ pansy) curling.

OK i understand your point. But, because a function doesn't fit your use case you think they're terrible and should never be used?
in most cases that this type of thing will make no difference.
ok so why is strcat so terrible. I'm trying to imagine, and i'm failing to see it.
having been through high school.. i'm wondering about 2 things..
what makes you think a drug dealer wouldn't be stupid?
and i'm wondering why giving you a free sample would be stupid?
Also, Taxation isn't the only way to pay. There is also inflation.
which is really just a tax anyways.
Am i concerned? yep. paranoid? not really. it takes a lot f steps to reach your destination, usually. Not sure how close we really are. But we're certainly well along.
Maybe not a march, but it's certainly a step in the right direction to increase taxes on the top income earners. Which is basically saying this:
"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need"
Besides, it never seems tow ork out that we just increase taxes on the rich. The income tax was originally created for that reason.
you steal a crappy NBA team, what ya expect?
z/OS unix system services is certified as unix i believe. and z/OS isn't even unix (znu?)
and yet somehow we managed just fine without the government doing shit.

You keep saying this basically. And it's really not true. You always have the option of getting no internet.
And so what? If they arent' providing you with something you consider to be worth your money, don't pay them. If texting ona cell phone costs to much, don't do it. If a house costs to much, don't buy it.
