  1. Valgrind on Ask Slashdot: What Tools To Clean Up a Large C/C++ Project? · · Score: 1

    Valgrind is a useful tool to get a profile run, and build up a call tree. As such, you can find the functions that are never called and can be removed as such. Moreover, you can patch a few memory leaks in the bargain.

  2. Re:Somebody has to say it... on The Strangest Moon In the Solar System · · Score: 1

    It was a poor attempt at a Star Wars reference...

    THAT'S NO MOON!!!

  4. Seriously, Fortran on Justified: Visual Basic Over Python For an Intro To Programming · · Score: 1

    Fortran is a very simple language to get to grips with the basics: For loops, if statements, subroutines. These concepts are the same in almost every language. That way, the language does nog stad in the way of learning the concepts. Nothing like classes & objects, pointer magic, etc. Things that belong to a course aimed at somebody who has mastered the basics.

    Every, to quote you, "fucking", month.

    So you would for example agree on our law, that when a family of two adults and two children come to our country, they get the equivalent of 3000 USD unemployment benefits, and when they leave our country to migrate back to their country of origin, they keep these benefits, not scaled down to local prices?

    We have already municipal offices with separate counters for men and for women. Swimming pools and fitness centers with women-only-days (but men still have to pay the same for membership, while they are allowed less entry). Ha, even a swimming pool with separate dress booths for: men without children, women without children, men with sons, men with daughters, women with sons, women with daughters. And cases of violence of non-muslims against muslims is considered a terrible hate crime, but violence of muslims against non-muslims is considered fairly normal... Fortunately, the last politicians who have grown up in our hippie days are retiring, and hopefully we will have a more realistic outlook on politics in the years to come. Our left wing parties are growing smaller and smaller every election. There is hope.

    The very memory makes me duck for cover... or at least ear plugs.

  9. Re:Swedish Social Democrats filed criminal charges on Several European Countries Lay Groundwork For Heavier Internet Censorhip · · Score: 1

    Lefties are in a knot here. Because on the one hand they want freedom of religion, and on the other hand they want equality of genders. What we have fought for, and are still fighting for, for over a century. They have not yet realized they cannot have both at the same time. It is very difficult for them to chose...

  10. Re:The whine of the flyback transformer on Ask Slashdot: Sounds We Don't Hear Any More? · · Score: 1

    That was awesome. My father always thought I broke it, when I Degaussed. My mom was even in too much of a general panic to think anything at all, when I did it.

    In Europe it is still kadeng, kadeng, kadeng, everywhere. There is even a song written about it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

    Good old matrix printers.

  14. Re:Explanation for us non-UKians? on UK Man Arrested Over "Offensive" Tweet · · Score: 0

    So it seems. The only group you can freely insult are white males that are christian/atheist. And nothing happens, except to the white males who object. Do this to any other subgroup of society and the shit hits the fan.

  15. Re:Tree of liberty on UK Man Arrested Over "Offensive" Tweet · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Lots of people are offended by lots of things, because we live in a culture that gives offended people rights over the offender. Remove those rights and the problem will be gone.

  16. No on Should Video Games Be In the Olympics? · · Score: 1

    The Olympics are for athletes of the body, not athletes of the mind (although there are psychological aspects to physical sports, and physical aspects to computer games). More over, if we start adding mental games, why not first chess, checkers, go, connect-6 etc.? There are world championships for all of those, and also for computer games. This is the way it should be.

  18. Re:controls in cheaper cars are better on "Infrared Curtain" Brings Touchscreen Technology To Cheap Cars · · Score: 1

    Really? Amazing. Full of electronic nonsense, and the gear shift messed up. Totally love this review, which grabs the essence: https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  19. Re:controls in cheaper cars are better on "Infrared Curtain" Brings Touchscreen Technology To Cheap Cars · · Score: 1

    Have you also suffered from this strange rotating knob on the place where the hand brake/gear shifter is usually located?

  20. Re:We Don't Need... on "Infrared Curtain" Brings Touchscreen Technology To Cheap Cars · · Score: 1

    I agree. I heard a commercial '...so you can enjoy media in excellent quality, while driving'. Really? How insane does this get? Time to go bicycle-only, if half the drivers are watching the latest GoT episode.

    By all that is good, I hope my future cars will not suffer from silly additions such as touch screens.
