And now we have descended from at least reading the blurp to merely having a glimpse at the title before posting most obvious useless post one can imagine.
The topics should be color coded by section, so I could only scan for red/blue for politics and shoot off a "GW was a wanker, Obama is teh shit" for instant +5 win.
PS. Chrome spell checker doesn't recognize the word 'wanker', curious...
I'm eligible to turn off the ads but I don't. This is probably the only site I visit where the ads are actually marginally relevant. Sometimes I see a neat ThinkGeek gizmo I want to know more about, or catch a glimpse of a TLA that I've just heard and IBM is selling as the new hot shit. I've never bought anything that has been advertised, but atleast it is more relevant than the endless stream of facebook dating service ads because my status is "single". I'm going off tangent here, but I actually like the perverted 'like'/'hide this and why' ads of facebook. I would like to see more relevant ads if I _have_ to see ads. I use ABP sometimes when I go to some particularly obnoxious site, but usually it is disabled....Yet more off tangent here. Ever used the Chrome developer tools? Try profiling. It seems to me that ABP is actually consuming more of my valuable time than it is saving. It's a good service, but they should optimize the filtering. I stumbled accross this by accident when I was trying to figure out why one of my companys internal application was so slow. ABP screwed my profiling efforts totally by hogging more of the CPU time than any of the ridiculously heavy jquery/jui shit the site uses.
... less eloquently: Some bitch ruins guys shit over nothing. Never seen this in the history of mankind...
I see the scales of feminism and chauvinism become to a balance in couple of years time, when there is no longer retarded pandering or fury from neither side. Both terms would be equally disgusting.
One outfit in my life has _required_ to see my ID, my photo taken and issuing me with a mandatory customer card -- Grand* Casino in Helsinki, Finland. I guess the purpose of this for them to be able to identify any ocean eleven attempters in their glorious mega casino.
(*) Grand: Couple of slot machines and black jack tables.
If you bothered to RTFA, you'd know the thing was of no real historical or any other value. Mass produced old organ whose future was either this or the garbage heap. I think this is infinitely more awesome.
Blasphemy! Obviously you have never implemented an iPhone fart application with a sophisticated language like C. I could go on and on about the difficulties of implementing my own audio stream interfaces and image libraries to nicely animate that arse and to play that fart! Synching audio and image animations can be a bitch when you are doing asynchronous I/O straight to the BUS of the phone!
If Linux wants to keep up with the competition there is much work to do
Eh? What competition? There's much competition OS kernel market?
Ah yes, HURD is a almost nibbling at Linux' ankles! Hurry Linus! Merge faster or Stallman will take your place! Look, Jonathan -- Genius' do what they do and don't give a shit about anyones opinions. Just shut the hell up and get off the inttarwebs, you are embarrassing yourself.
Get the latest sources and start maintaining your own tree if you think you can do better job at it. This piece of random speculation is useless and irritating.
This does arouse suspicion. even if you forget the variable names for a moment, any pattern like bool,real,real, *real, int, *char,*char,*bool,.... that is identical between two structs would be an improbable occurence. and when you see it in back to back structs it becomes nearly impossible to happen by chance.
Umm, no. This is only logical. If he had the documentation to data types, or even if he reverse engineered them, they would be identical. I have done some trampolining of functions to/from code which i only have binary access. If I am handling a struct, I would examine the structure in memory and make my struct identical so I could copy it with simple memcpy(to, fro, sizeof(struct)), or replace references by just changing the pointer to different place.
Nokia is Finnish. You know what happens when da russkies piss off finns? Fuckin' Winter War! That's what! And continuation war if they are not satisfied with the body count of the first one!
Putin and whatever-the-official-president-is are probably right now personally crawling around, trying to get back the Finnish marvel of forbidden technology, lest Tarja bestows them with unimaginable horrors of "motti".
Google for Arial and Century Gothic. The former is clearl ment for reading, the latter for presentation. Arial is easy to read because it has enough "squiggles" for the brain to distinguish letters at rapid pace. Century gothic looks very nice and I would recommend it any day for BIG Headlines Buy This Car Now - type things, never for something you are supposed to be actually reading for prolonged time.
Then again, who the hell send an email over 50 words these days? So, *shrug*
Bah, just couple of years back* I compiled myself a linux from scratch to test if I could get it running on an old discarded 486dx with 8M of mem and a 40M hard drive. I had to cheat a bit by throwing in a 120M hard drive while compiling stuff. Source and object code takes a lot of space. I can't remember what I used as a bootstrap to start the process. I think I made a custom initrd disks from some old debian netboot images.
* Well, shit. -98 was over ten years ago. I feel like a git.
Well, as a on-native speaker I tend to use stronger words than I actually mean. Perhaps "useless", "worthless" or "pointless" would be closer to what I had in mind. I'm just so bloody frustrated by the quality of discussion in/. nowadays.
In fact, your reply could be construed as retarded.
Don't waste your:word:s. Simple "NO U" will do. My post first gave a concise answer to the question asked and only after that attacked the inanity of the original "article".
Here's a car analogy: If there was a/. for car mechanics, wouldn't many of the experienced mechanics be annoyed by a post asking something trivial which should be obvious to even the common operator of a vehicle? "Hi, there's a yellow "check engine" light on in my dashboard? What should I do?"
In essence, no it doesn't make any difference. However, if for example you application would communicate short commands often through public key encryption it would be more economical to use persistent connections instead of making new connections all the time. Key generation is Expensive.
Except for Finland. We are huggy feely right kind of communists. If Finland were to be in charge of the civilized world, all of you would be embraced to death by our motherly care of citizens and associated costs in taxes.

And you failed to post anything substantial, which proves the GP's point and invalidates your post.

Read the big red book "Applied Cryptography: Protocols, Algorithms, and Source Code in C". http://www.amazon.com/Applied-Cryptography-Protocols-Algorithms-Source/dp/0471117099/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1265363727&sr=8-1 Highly recommended to anyone who uses public key encryption or needs to implement VPN's, mail encryption or tunnels.
In essence, no it doesn't make any difference. However, if for example you application would communicate short commands often through public key encryption it would be more economical to use persistent connections instead of making new connections all the time. Key generation is Expensive.
Also, in you situation, just use screen.
How in the hell does retarded 'ask slashdots' make the front page, but not my submission of http://itpomminpurkaja.blogspot.com/2010/02/css-anchor-pseudo-class-concerns.html and http://www.fizzl.net/ for which I actually expended some effort to create.
I'm confused... Where's the analogy?

Oh, I first glanced "55 miles/h" and thought, 'wow, that's pretty nice'. However, hell if I want a sports car to drive 55km/h :P
