unless you just adjust the stack with proper parameters and set the return address to something you know is in real code space and will work with said parameters.... mmm....
I passed the Holy Weeks from 1976 to 1980 trying to figure out how in the world could a mammal that fucks a lot could lay eggs made of chocolate and what the fsck all of that had to do with the ressurection of the Christ or the diaspora of the Jews (from Egypt? I don't remember anymore).
You tried hard not to look at the part where I wrote: "they tried a lot of gas concentrations" to no avail. But the other poster was more clever: they forgot to make the dummy *answer* the phone.
You are not telling the story in hope that people follow the link. Here it goes, short version: they tried, they tried hard, to make a cell phone ignite gasoline vapours... and they failed miserably. They put the stuff in a closed environment, tested many concentrations of gas vapour, nothing worked. The only way this happens is static electicity near the fuel entrance
Higher education makes a world of difference. I wish I knew some way to get this to that guy... Some way to get the "learn how to think". Anyway, in some points, you're not that wrong. Programming is about math, but is about language, too. And intuition. I have an interesting project that will need some hands, I'll try to keep him posted.

No, the problem with the Java GUI / other std libraries toolkits is that they are bloated. As in: they mount very deeply in the top of each other, for the sake of consistency, but... this means every time you take one, you take the whole family.
If Google is smart (and I think they can be) they will have a special mailing-list processing in place. Suppose they get 1000 people subscribed to, for instance, debian-devel; what would you like to store if you were Google? one or one thousand copies?
And let us move freely towards better places of employment. Even the USofA, if it becomes again a better place of employment (currently it's not). Hmm, great concept. Free movement of goods, services, and people. I'll patent it.
All the India IT/teleco workers would be OUT OF JOBS if it wasn't for the USofA outsourcing. Want a job? Move to India and start living it the same standard of living and Indian programmer lives.
They grant patents that should obviously not be granted and claim they are overworked. This kind of patent should have been dismissed by the front door clerk. The patent applicant, if it wants, could challenge the dismissal... IN COURT. Repeat with me:
the reason quicksort is great is that its most internal loop is very tight... two incs, a cmp and maybe a swap data. all others sort algorithms have more complicated inner loops. so, even if the complexity is O(n log n) in the medium case and O(n^2) in the worse case, quicksort wins because its constant k*(n log n) is smaller than, p.ex., mergesort's j*(n log n)

Now go change every single ATM keyboard.
Already do something like this. Each time you access and it asks for you PIN, it does something like this:
Enter your PIN: [______]
[ 1 or 7 ] [ 3 or 9 ] [ 4 or 5 ] [ 6 or 8 ] [ 2 or 0 ]
and the numbers alternate positions randomly.
I always use USofAn. you-zoe-fan, has a nice pronounce too.

Is it a good, elegant language? No. it's verbose and utterly klutzy. It's the XXi century's COBOL.
