P.S. You win the "finally coming across as not an asshole" award.
No seriously.
I gave you plenty of opportunities, and this last post of yours is pretty damn close to respectful disagreement, which (from you) I consider a success.
File under "advice from idiots" if you wish. But hell, it's a compliment.
Defraggler's quick defrag will coalesce highly-fragmented files, but often does not coalesce large fragments. The seek time over such a fragment is such a small percentage of the entire read time that it's not worth defragging the file any further.
It's pretty bad that I have to read the password requirements carefully and usually then view the HTML source to find out what the maxlen of the field is because the password requirements didn't define that.
Take a pin on a token it can be 4 numbers if you lock it out for good after 4-5 bad attempts
You discount luck.
I've guessed the passcode combination on at least 2 electronic door locks in 2-3 tries. And neither was the room number or street address. The hardest part was remembering which numbers I'd just randomly pressed when the darn thing opened.
I have used a shell other than explorer.exe, so I am very much aware of this fact, not in fact clueless as you seem so determined to convince me of. But I thank you for your interest in my well-being; it is not often a random person on the internet takes such interest in my personality and makes a sincere attempt to fix me.
The GUI is the Graphical Interface with which a User may Interface with a Graphical system or application. This is as opposed to a CLI, which is a Command Line Interface whereby a User may Interface with the system/application via Commands entered on the Line through the Keyboard. For those hunt-and-peck typists out there who prefer to poke at shit and see if it jiggles and smells bad, some Command Line Interfaces have Graphical User Interfaces built as front-ends; for example, Mr. Alexander Peter Kowalski has designed a fairly odious Graphical User Interface to the Ping Command.
The Graphical Interface in Windows is, was, and to my knowledge will be, explorer.exe. Clear?
Every app has its own GUI. Whether or not it uses the Windows GDI to provide the standard window trim, or totally skins itself as Java apps and apps from Apple are prone to doing, is irrelevant. The fact that nonwindowsapp.exe uses the GDI to draw its standard window trim is also irrelevant. nonwindowsapp's GUI is NOT Windows' GUI.
The Windows GUI is the GUI you use to interact with Windows, not nonwindowsapp.exe: the Start menu, Taskbar, desktop, and Windows Explorer. All of which are provided by explorer.exe.
P.S. When I copy and paste, I cite my source. Doing otherwise would be plagiarism. I don't do plagiarism.
Yes, as a matter of fact. The bar may be set rather low, but that's the entire point of why adding an extra 5-minute task isn't going to keep anything else from getting done.
can bet the people doing the counting are hourly, and that the person didn't clock out until it was counted and in an envelope and in the out-box to go to the finance office
If the employee does not accomplish the amount of work the manager wanted done in the shift, the employee gets bad ratings. Full stop. If the employee does, and the manager gives the employee something else to do, the employee will either get the previously-determined amount of work done AND the extra something, or the employee will get bad ratings. Have you never worked with this sort of manager?
And it cost something for the envelope and to transport/send/mail it to finance. When it gets to the finance office, it has to be counted again, and included on a bank deposit.
The interdepartment mail was going anyway; the unit cost of an additional envelope is pennies. It doesn't take any longer to grab 5 envelopes instead of 4, and seconds to toss the extra one into the box marked "Finance Dept".
Oh, please. Wake me up when you have real problems, such as sites which don't like your password because it is too long, or does have some special character in it, but only tell you this after you try to set a password they don't like. Or, worse, says the password is invalid but still doesn't say which characters it doesn't accept. Or, or worst of all, lets you set an invalid password and then you can't log in.
(password rules are usually pretty clear, but "secret questions" == extra passwords, and they are almost never clear on how long, or what characters are allowed)
Slashdot Mirror
then it should be obvious there is a bug in the code where you are freeing that structure
As in, you didn't, and/or it wasn't called. I nominate you for understatement of the year.
Deciding when a particular memory is okay to forget is sometimes a little harder than you make it out to be, however.

Have a nice life.
"Clear?" was a humorous jab intended to mean that this heart is still pumping even if you're wrong. Which you are. But thanks.
I beg to differ, every malloc should have a corresponding free
Read my post again a little more carefully, and you'll see that I wasn't disagreeing with you.
The question is not "should" but rather "WHERE".
"When the OS cleans up after unloading the app" is usually an unacceptable answer. The correct answer is usually harder than that.
Defraggler's quick defrag will coalesce highly-fragmented files, but often does not coalesce large fragments. The seek time over such a fragment is such a small percentage of the entire read time that it's not worth defragging the file any further.
Code usually assume it get what it asks for
Bad code assumes. Good code checks to make sure malloc didn't give it a null pointer.
Is there an acceptable frequency for murder? Does it grow more acceptable as its frequency is lower?
Sometimes, some mathematicians scare me.
Sometime after Firefox 3, it got a tab grouping feature
Built-in boss key: Ctrl-`.
The problem is not finding where in the source malloc was called. That is easy. The problem is finding where free wasn't. That is harder.
How many possible unique passwords can be generated using that scheme?
Take the log of that number, divide it by the log of 2, and you have bits of entropy.
I caught that, and I was beginning to wonder how many of them you had.
Someone can't steal your money just by looking at it.

*looks down* oops. Your lawn, I'll get off it now. :)
8MB ... megabytes, not gigabytes ... is tiny as fuck. That is smaller than the hard drive in my parents' first computer.
Oh, and as a P.P.S.: If you want to disagree with me at least be civil when doing so. I am not an ignoramus.
You need to CHILL.

Yeah; like I said... I've only ever really used the tab-completion in cmd. I'm not closed-minded, just ignorant. ;)

I've spent a total of about 10 minutes in Bash, and that's only because the new servers at work run RedHat. My personal computer is Win7 64-bit.
With a GUI, syntax problems go away
Syntax is like math: there is an error, or there is no error. There is no problem.
Now picture Yoda saying that.
