The property that makes cash convenient in real life is the same one that make it anonymous: it's decentralized. Why should the situation be any different online (excepting technology lag and first-to-market effects)?
I didn't know it had a name, but I thought this thirteen-month thing with extra days crammed on at the beginning or end was the system that basically anyone came up with the first time they tried to design a calendar that made sense.
Yes, 3, sorry 'bout that.
In PHP you are guaranteed arithmetic results when using arithmetic operators. String concatenation is a distinct operator:)

Even JavaScript isn't as bad as that, there are only a few minor areas where implementation-specific issues pop up, like the awful CSS rule stuff, input codes, and some other stuff, with PHP, it is EVERYWHERE.
Cute. In JavaScript:
"5"-2 = 0 and
"5"+2 = "52". Even PHP isn't *that* nut.
You're missing the point. Saying that a kernel is or isn't successful because it's distributed with a different userland than usual is (a) just wrong, and (b) a completely different sort of claim than that a particular software distribution is or isn't successful because various components have been integrated elsewhere.
Analogy doesn't quite work because Linux IS a kernel (the Linux userland is usually GNU, but you could put something else on top, like Android without a problem). The FreeBSD components in Darwin/iOS/OS X are userland, not kernel (which is Mach/XNU).
A real-time operating system (RTOS) is an operating system (OS) intended to serve real-time application requests. It must be able to process data as it comes in, typically without buffering delays. Processing time requirements (including any OS delay) are measured in tenths of seconds or shorter.
A key characteristic of an RTOS is the level of its consistency concerning the amount of time it takes to accept and complete an application's task; the variability is jitter.[1] A hard real-time operating system has less jitter than a soft real-time operating system. The chief design goal is not high throughput, but rather a guarantee of a soft or hard performance category. An RTOS that can usually or generally meet a deadline is a soft real-time OS, but if it can meet a deadline deterministically it is a hard real-time OS.[2]
An RTOS has an advanced algorithm for scheduling. Scheduler flexibility enables a wider, computer-system orchestration of process priorities, but a real-time OS is more frequently dedicated to a narrow set of applications. Key factors in a real-time OS are minimal interrupt latency and minimal thread switching latency; a real-time OS is valued more for how quickly or how predictably it can respond than for the amount of work it can perform in a given period of time.[3]
I've never owned an Apple machine that needed to be replaced within 5 years of the purchase date, and the only people I know who have are the ones who dropped their laptops on sidewalks or down stairwells and cracked the screen. Troll somewhere else.
Indeed. Humans are the best long distance runners on the planet, and we evolved that way so that we could chase our prey until they died of exhaustion.
I just tried working with a codebase that had the same arrays storing both ints and pointers, and doing index arithmetic all over the place. The really horrifying thing was that it actually compiled 64bit, and just behaved differently.
JavaScript faster than Java? No. It's not. Not even close. Java has fantastic performance when used correctly. It just happens to be a common intro-course language, so lowest-common-denominator sorts of programmers write a lot of crap code with it. The HotSpot VM JIT is basically magic, and the garbage collection beats out everything else.
"Sucks to work with Snowden"? More like "sucks to have been born without a brain". I mean, seriously, how contemptibly stupid do you have to be to work for a security agency and not have learned that you don't share your password with anyone.

Needs fewer hops, or denser connectivity. ;)

They're a CDN that serves 30% of all Internet traffic. They get whatever they want, because if they don't, the internet starts sucking.
Sure, but what's the case law on the application of consumer-rights to free stuff?

Go read just about any current textbook on microeconomics. Then get back to me.

My officemate has a German laptop. Not only are the symbols like () in the wrong place, they switched z and y keys. Horrific.

This comment should be at +5 Insightful. Mods, do your duty.
Harm and benefit according to whose definition? Utilitarianism is incredibly subjective.
Bingo! I wish I had mod points, but I don't, so my stamp of approval will have to suffice ;)

Nope. 1 is not a prime.
And most command-line-only Linux distros are still several orders of magnitude larger than Menuet, which actually has a graphical UI. ;)
Yeah, that too.
I've been watching this project for ages, and I'm excited to see it slowly maturing. Quite a bit of fun to play with if you have some time to kill.
Because
* It's fun?
* They can?
* They want to?
* To learn something?
I'm sure there are a few more. Does anyone have not-boring questions?
