volatile is a storage class, meaning that something else (i.e. another process) might modify the memory location, meaning the compiler shouldn't remove reads even though it knows that you haven't modified it since it was last read and there might still be copy left lying about in a register. Even if you apply it to the buffer, it doesn't mean that the compiler can't decide that memory you didn't allocate doesn't belong to you anyways and remove the check. Additionally, volatile typically applies to single locations and not to whole buffers.
And yet, to my point, the reason you're arguing the way you are is because you've SEEN what those bombs can do. If Hiroshima and Nagasaki had been firebombed a la Dresden, few would remember or care, they certainly wouldn't be second-guessing the decision 70 years later.
Everybody in the modern world should get out of bed every morning and thank $deity for Harry Truman's decision to drop those two little bombs. If the world hadn't seen firsthand what those bombs were capable of, we certainly would have found another excuse to try them out, lots and lots more, with much bigger yields. Maybe Korea, maybe the Cuban Missile Crisis, maybe Viet Nam; first a "tactical" nuke or two, then an all-out exchange. Harry Truman should be sainted.
Prepare to be burned as a heretic. Everyone knows that patents CAUSE innovation by forcing inventors to do the same mundane tasks differently. Plus, they help keep attorneys employed, which is vitally important. Disclaiming or sharing patent rights that you've already acquired is socialism, which is the ultimate evil.
Then again, if Darl had had more BRAINZZZZZ!! to begin with...

That's why I always use a pessimizing compiler.
Turn in your geek card on your way out the door.
Attempt no landings there!!!
Clearly it was not "pointless", as it demonstrably caused Japan to surrender unconditionally.

Right, because there's absolutely no difference between spying on your enemies in a declared war and spying on your own citizens in peacetime.
Didn't you read TFS? They're being "forced" to. Bwahahahaha.
That'll put a stop to it.
You don't have to "destroy" them, just "cut off their air supply".
But no wait, in the business world, ethics are inversely proportional to profits.
FTFY
I've got this mental image of John D. Rockefeller handing out shiny new dimes to homeless orphans for the benefit of the photographers...
In Soviet Russia, Bill Gates thinks YOU'RE a hypocrite.

I'll sell this post back to you -- for a price.
Heh. I just stole 17% of your total.
So your question is "What's wrong with HTML and Javascript?" and then you go on to say you prefer Perl for data processing. And me without mod points.

Or you could just airgap your intranet. Even moving sensitive pages to a different port and firewalling outside access on that port should do it.
So we have a stateless database with built-in DRM on every record and user tracking. Brilliant.
As long as you're not waiting for Probable Cause. 'Cause we don't need that shit.
Closed Captaining?
So it's OK if I rape your daughter, because it's "only your opinion" that I shouldn't, and I assert that "might makes right"?
Like Mad Men, for example? I think HCF is starting out just fine. I'm curious to see where they take it.
