  1. Re:Repositories for the win on Windows vs. Ubuntu — Dell's Verdict · · Score: 1

    ooh ok figured it was just a simple misunderstanding :)

    So thankfully I do program in C-style languages and not "natural-language" style :D
    i agree!! no other way!! :D

    well i might excuse you since i couldnt get the tabs or space to show up in the 30 secs i tried. So it might have been a bit confusing to read.
    however, i really hope you dont program in C/C++/JAVA/PHP (or any other language with C-Style syntax) for a living.

    but anyways im in a good mood this morning so let me educate you (or anyone that understood the snippet in the same way you did)
    It would only go through to the printf statement IFF (if and only if) one of the cases were true. OTHERWISE it would go to the default stement which would be to print/post nothing. the AC probably triggered the NOT_ADV_USER case.
    ( which i guess hsould be renamed to CLAIMED_ADV_BUT_NOT_REALLY_ADV_USER)

    This only works if there's an assured/static IP address on the home network. Lots of them change and you never really realize it unless you're doing home access.

    That what dynamic DNS is for.

    i think (or hope) he was being sarcastic but your comment is still valid for the mods who marked it as informative...

  12. Re:Before you do it on Tattoos For the Math and Science Geek? · · Score: 1

    its validity does not depend on specific values of a,b and c as u suggest... but rather for any right-angled triangle where c represents the length of the hypotenuse, c = sqrt(a^2+b^2) === a^2 + b^2 = c^2

    so maybe you cant always find a set of integers to match but there are always values for A and B for any C and viceversa for any A and B there is always a value of C.

    ... was to remove a couple (relatively harmless) trojans for free. Maybe we should be thankful for the service.
    I wonder if these apps really were for legit research then the researchers could/should have asked google to remotely uninstall them since you shouldn't leave your apparatus lying on the floor after an experiment.

    If the OS is irrelevant, then publishing its bugs is also irrelevant. If the OS is not irrelevant, then your comment is irrelevant.

    mod parent up!! exactly if the OS is irrelevant then who cares if they are bugs/exploits that can affect it. analogy: the toaster makers think that their previous gen world wide most selling toaster is outdated. the OS for the toaster is irrelevant. therefore no one cares if there are exploits available to burn your toast to a charred brick.
