Good, that was one of the first programmes I ever wrote for the PC, a bastard long time ago.
My thoughts were to continuisly monitor things like spelling mistakes and typo's as well as keypresses: 10Mins of odd activity and the PC questions the identity of the operator.
This is find, untill you injure yourself and don't type quite the same.

Isn't this a security bug, you think that you've hidden some code, but infact it isn't.
Each function can be proved to work by reducing it's functionality.
Lets say I have a simple function
increment(a){
a=a+1;
return a;
}
This function will work as expected for every value of a that is smaller than the maximum size of a, I can prove this and don't need to test every possible input.
I should really change the code to
increment(a){
if a == MAX_SIZE_OF(a) then error(OVERFLOW);
a=a+1;
return a;
}
After living costs, expensis etc.... $24,000 - $30,000 a year isn't bad free spending money. in 10 years you could have $240,000 - $300,000 in the bank and retire.
Someone really needs to grab linux by the balls and sort out the API problems.
There are fuck-knows how mank DVD/MP3/MPEG players out there, all with there own lib's and API's. (mplayer and xine for starters) Can't they can make a common API/framework?
Even command line tools are inconsistant, please can someone define some standard flags for mp3towav converters, unzip,bzip,tgz etc....
If 50% of people working from home 50% of the time. (shouldn't be too hard in office land)
You've just reduced the traffic(and pollution) by 25%. you get an extra 1hr in bed because you don't have to travel, so... Your employees will be fresher when they are at work.
Working remotely from home is the next logical step in employees rights, calling an employee up at any time of the day or night because you know they can work remotely is the next step in corporate abuse.
slower than the last release....

The optimiser has been vastly improved and....
The following changes have been made to the IA-32/x86-64 port: SSE2 and 3dNOW! intrinsics are now supported. Support for thread local storage has been added to the IA-32 and x86-64 ports. The x86-64 port has been significantly improved.
unless you language is something like.... " mr smith from jones &co asked me on 11/09 to take the orders from freds clients and transfer then to my.db;
ignore the next line because kate reported bug 1234
then he want's to totals of the clients in my.db to be printed in a report as per the format specified by billy on 10/09;
instead
take the totals of the transfered clients in my.db and print them using the format specified by billy on 10/09. "....there ain't no way you code will be self commenting.

In that case I'd suggest moving to another country.

try this in VB, you'll get i + 1 = i
Dim i As Integer
i = 32767
On Error GoTo printi
i = i + 1
printi:
Call MsgBox("I = " + CStr(i))
Where possible you should check for errors before they happen not afterwards.
You don't have to test everypossible input.

1: he didn't disable system cache, this could have cause the >theoretical performance increase.
2: In his final analysis he failed to mention that there must be another bottleneck in the system causing the sub standard performance increases.
3: He only tested memory transfer and not random access, page faults and all the other things that really slow your computer down.
If your after max performance then your going to buy the best anyhow, if you not then a PC still using PC133 memory will be fine.

I set of an emerge before bed, check my email in the morning. By the time I've finished work, it's time to goto bed again.

Here's the thread on the KDE 3.2 release cycle.
Couldn't find any solid information about the expected release date!
I know quite a few people who make a living from.
Playing in pubs,
Busking etc......
kde 3.2 progress
Given the todo's are about twice the sice of the finished's I'd guess about 3-4 months. (3.1 was released 2 months ago i think...)
Bands played live, recorded music wasn't avaialble.
Recordings are cheap, I wouldn't pay much for one.
I would pay to see a band live.
That'd really fuck up Microsoft, they would have GPL code in there OS and have to GPL the whole thing!!!.

Slashdot is a conversation web site, so, I would expect to see a lot of conversational grammar in

In the case of the headline, I believe that the comma represents 'a DRAMATIC pause'.
