With cables, connecting n devices together means n^2 different cables.
Actually, it can be done with approximately n cables, using a hub or ring architecture. All n computers on the internet are connected with MUCH less than n^2 cables, for example. That is why ethernet is so popular.
Can you show us the sizes of the "stripped" binaries? Also, I just compiled my C++ program w/ 3.0.2, and it was the same size as 2.95.4 (prerelease), to within 0.1%. However, I'm not making heavy use of templates. Without seeing the source, we can only speculate as to your specific results...
Oh, one more thing. We still do some NEAT things here, and we need good people to help turn them into to commercial technology (or at least releasable technology for others to benefit from). We also do lots of safety related work that is non-proprietary, for example. So, if you are looking for a good job these days, definitely look into NASA. We are in need of good people!
I work at NASA Ames (but not FOR NASA; I'm a contractor). I have a Master's degree from Stanford, and during the dot-com days (and perhaps even now), I could have left for a LOT more money. Many of my colleages did (the more competent ones). The pay is just NOT competative for the people with great talents; but I like my work, and now that many people have been layed off, I'm still working, and doing long term development projects (that's a benefit for me).
That said, I make a decent wage, and am not complaining. But we always have a hard time recruiting good programmers, engineers, etc. because the pay is generally less these days.
That should be "Characters 128 to 255 take up 2 bytes...".
Actually, characters 128 - 2047 take up 2 bytes each. (I know, the original context of this thread was about ASCII or Latin-1 encoding; thus, I leave off the "dumbass!")
The main point I remember in the "argument" between the two was the Bush got so aggravated by Rather's questioning that he brought up an incident when Rather stormed off the set of the evening news (during a technical glitch) and thus produced four minuted of "dead air". At the time, I thought it was a very unpresidential retort.
I got a sense of deja vu when a pre-presidential G. W. Bush made some comments to Dave Letterman about his heart surgery, which GWB thought was QUITE funny. (compassionate conservatism, my ass)

Dan Rather is a news commentator known for being fairly antagonistic to G. Bush senior (they had a heated exchange years ago on television, during an interview).
So, apart from the other explanations, I interpreted it as saying that Dan is probably the favorite news broadcaster of the Taliban.
and the rest flows pretty easily. I was amazed by its simplicity once I figured it out (after reading the hints and lots of pondering w/ the C manual). And yes, it does use your favorite trick...;)
You have been posting this assinine drivel repeatedly, probably in the hopes that it will be considered true. Those who need strong data transactional security, using ext2fs, should mount with the "sync" mount option, or use a UPS. You will then have a filesystem that is no faster than the BSD or NTFS filesystems.
Softupdates solves a DIFFERENT problem than you describe (metadata coherency); The BSD filesystem is inherently more syncronous than ext2fs. The rest of your "opinions" are similarly misinformed.
How could he possibly have even contemplated starting his address with the phrase "Good evening"?
He should have gone right into the speech without that needless opening pleasantries. I believe in substance over style, but jeezus, have SOME style at least... He needs better speechwriters.
You rule! I was just about to develop configuration saves and loads, w/ DOM, for a medium size python project I am working on. This will help immensely.
Came in to work on Monday, and our electronic lock system wasn't working. All the doors were locked, and card keys didn't work. I don't know the vendor, but anyone else have a similar problem?
I'd be curious to know if it was coincidence, or related to the rollover. They replaced our old one in 1999 due to Y2K issues.

I shouldn't bother responding to this obnoxious and patronzing post, but screw it, you are a pretentious fuck.
When I started using GCC, nowhere near 90% of GCC targets were for IA32. It could build for 68000, Sparc, PDP-20, etc. I remember hacking on the code generation for a summer job I had ages ago, since the ANSI C compliance was so good (for the time). That is why I said that the retargetable nature of GCC was always its "killer feature". Telling me to "deal" with the fact that 90% of targets NOW are intel, is an assinine retort.
GCC 3.0 is a nice step forward, and perhaps compile speeds will improve in future releases. If that isn't good enough for you, spend the $400-$500 for Intel's compiler, you damn cheapskate. Meanwhile, I'll spend that money on a faster CPU, more RAM, a bigger disk, AND have money left over for good sushi.
GCC is *good* for developers, since commercial compilers have to perform at least as well as GCC in order to expect any sales. So the non-free "competition" must not stand still to remain relevant. As of GCC 3.0, we have the makings of a very good baseline for C++ (and even C99, to some extent) support, and it will just get better. Deal with it yourself.

Would you trade speed of compilation for standards compliance? That would be complete stupidity. GCC 3 is a godsend for C++ developers, and a firm base for future speed improvements.
Besides, standards compliance is not GCC 3's only feature. It is also one of the most portable and retargetable compilers out there (perhaps THE most), which was always the main killer feature.
Actually, there is a lot of talk going on between L Wall and GvR to try to unify their bytecode interpreters (and maybe object models, etc.) for just this reason. I'm not awareof the details, but perhaps in some distant future, Python, PERL, and maybe even Ruby will all converge on a common backend (forget about TCL, though. It ain't never gonna happen)
The end of the credits to BTTF indicated that there would be a sequel (presumably, even if they had wanted to film three at once, the studio would not have given the money until they knew the first was a success)

True, but it is largely 3D API agnostic. It could easily be adapted to another one.
He could be like Noam Chomsky, who is a giant in the field of linguistics, but a total goofball in politics, for instance.
Noam Chomsky is always more prepared with references, facts, and evidence to support his ideas, than any politician I have ever heard.
