What the hell are you talking about? I can't remember a single model where the enumeration of a directory had any artificial limits. I admit my 6230 music player starts forever with a gig of songs in the playlist, but once it's started it works out just dandy.
All recent Nokia phones use ARM based processors, so in short, yes. Figuring out how to flash the hardware and make it boot your binary is left as an exercise to the reader.
Umm.. Go to a track with both simulated "icy roads" and dry asphalt and try for yourself.
Such training is mandatory in Finnish driving schools. I was actually quite surpised to learn that without ABS, the very same car stopped in almost 30% shorter distance without ABS than with it. The difference is less drastic on dry road thou. ABS also effectively destroys the way I expect a vehicle to handle in certain conditions. With my -91 Vectra, in light snow and underneath ice I can make a lock breaking, simultaneously turn the wheel and expect for it to move to certain direction after I release the break, because I am using the conditions for my benefit. I almost drove to god damn lamp post with my -99 pug 306, because the bastard didn't let me brake, and steer after I had slowed down. Instead it just understeers and continues its merry ride pretty much straight. Managed to salvage that situation with handbrake.
I wish I could disengage the ABS in winter, in soft sand and gravel. I would still use it on dry&wet paved road thou. That's where it is very handy because I'm unlike to react fast enough in speeds and situation which would require lock breaking in those conditions anyway.
Oh and another thing. The picture at the bottom... Damn Bill's office is non-descripit. It looks like he has shopped for the furniture from IKEA or something. I expected something a bit more classy. Definitely not a cactus in a plastic jar. There should be dark brown leather sofas, mahogany tables, cabinet full of 1800's scotch, flip-top secret console to call the security and detonate a nuclear weapon which would destroy the polar caps, etc. You know, the works for an evil overlord. I'm a bit dissapointed:(
Besides. Bill looks awfully lot like an aging geek in that picture. For some reason I have some sympathy for him. All just because of that one picture.
SharePoint commercial? What is that software anyway. Sounds like *gag* Lotus Notes revisited.
(Ooh, I hope at one point the big corps could just let go off notes and get some less crappy solution. Or alternatively, Lotus to get a grip and develop Notes to this Millenium.)
Heh, I've been ranting for years how I love C and C++ and how Java and pretty much all other higher level languages suck. I think they are ment just for crybabies who can't handle pointers and get confused while tying their shoelaces. I actually just thought that I'll whip something up for the contest. You know, first I'll just make the basic program and try to figure out how to sneak something in. It took me 10 minutes to realize that I have no fucking clue what I'm doing.
"How do I read from stdin?" "How do I allocate without too much overhead for it?" "Wait, I really shouldn't be doing this in the main function. Perhaps I'll make a separate function. Now, hmm.. How do I define a function which takes a reference to an array of char pointers, and what else do I need to know to reallocate the array" "Oh right. It also needs to be separated by spaces too, not just newlines" "I wish there was a nice library function 'char *readfile(stream)' in ANSI C" "Shit. Real programming is hard!"
I hereby turn in my coding gloves, and don the pink fluffy Java gloves I have actually worn for some time against my will.
Level 7? That's like a hungarian guy standing next to every user and pounding them on head with a mallet every time they are about to do something stupid?
The "layers" have been switching around in OSI model so many times, I can't even figure out anymore how many there are supposed to be...

I just stopped reading at this point. This article is so saturated with artificial sweeteners it makes me gag.
Oh the humanity! The end of the Proud and Tall US worker! Everything is outsourced, nothing is left to the common man! Boo-fucking-hoo. It's your own damn fault. Welcome to the end of your era.
Well, uh. Actually. There's an interesting quirk in Finnish music distribution system. I'm a member of Teosto and Gramex. (First one is like RIAA, the second one is kinda like national evil publisher or something. You become a member of both when you register a recording.) I have one registered demo tape from 1994 or something. I couldn't publish those songs from my server for free even if I wanted to. Gramex collects the radio and other presentation fees of music, and thus I'd have to pay them 20c or something per download so they could take ther share of the money and then distribute those cents back to me and others involved with making the demo. This still holds even if I would could get signed contracts from other copyright holders on that tape and they would aggree to a free distribution.
Oh? How about magic MOV, JZ, CALL, etc? You can still use assembly on all the sane high level languages. Yes, PEEK, POKE and CALL were just abstractions of the hardware level for BASIC-du-jour.

God damnit! I require a penny from each and every reader who sees this! You are misusing my valuable trademark!

I hereby declare prior art for non-obvious method and concept of wireless e-mail while high (*).
*) While high also implies such concepts as "on weed", "stoned" and any other such concept derivable from THC based mind fuck.
Uh what? Who would do such thing? I think you have entirely missed the point of the article AND sudo.
I was contemplating for 30 seconds how to moderate, but the scarcity of options just isn't flexible enough for "Wow, you're a clueless asshat!"
I've heard that the language is evolving, but this is is just tricidilious!

I love that java.lang.Vector in x86 assembly too.

There has to be atleast some? Stab the opponent with a racket after losing? No?
Can we have a "-1 Ouch! That hurt!" moderation instead.

Holy crap.
Are you trolling or are you retarded?

Double negative stack overflow. Please elaborate.
Seriously, could some gansta rapper decipher this one for me?
That's so deeeeeep , man.
Now, pass me the bong!
