  1. Already get followers that I don't know on uSocial Sells Twitter Followers By the Thousand · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I don't use twitter but signed up just to reserve my name... What is interesting is that I get one or two "followers" a week, and they are people who I have never heard of. And I suspect that would really have no particular reason to follow my (non-existent) tweets... It could just be accidental but it seems like too many for that.

  2. Re:It's Not The First... on Linux To Be First OS To Support USB 3.0 · · Score: 1

    MCCI announced a Windows driver for 3.0 last Feb... http://www.embedded-computing.com/news/Industry+News/15701 So I would suggest that pre-dates Linux availability a fair bit.

  3. Re:No mention of memmove... on Microsoft To Banish Memcpy() · · Score: 1

    memcpy_s() also returns an errno_t, so you would now use something like: if ((memcpy_s(dst, dstsize, src, bytes) { // check errno for reason copy failed }

  4. Why don't we have a long term program for flu? on US Declares Public Health Emergency Over Swine Flu · · Score: 1

    20-30 thousand deaths a year without a pandemic version of flu ... So why don't we ramp up spending on solving flu all the time. It might save thousands of people EVERY year. And have the side effect of creating infrastructure that might save even more when a pandemic hits.. Otherwise when it hits we take months to react and try at that point to ramp up production of vaccines and other meds.
