int _time = time(0); srand(time); int randomValue = rand();
For those who aren't c programmers, what this actually does is seed the random number generator with the *function address* of the time() function. Which is just about guaranteed to be constant across all runs of the program (at least on the same machine).
I *think* what the grandparent was referring to is when you lease a *hardware AND software* package. I.e. we provide the machines, software, and maintenance, you're merely leasing the use of the complete package.
How that fits in with the GPL is something I'm not quite sure. Seems to me that since in some sense you're not really distributing it, then you don't have to release the code.
I just finished up my Master's degree work at Kent State. I began looking for jobs in May, and after not getting any real leads for about two months, I started getting calls constantly at the beginning of August. Most of them were contract-to-hire positions. I was eventually offered positions by two different companies in Cleveland, one in Wooster, and I think if I had waited another few weeks I probably would have gotten another offer or two. I started working mid-August. Three months from beginning my job search, with no corporate experience, to getting a position, is pretty good, I would guess.
I'm certainly more skilled (or at least experienced) than most KSU grads with just a B.S., seeing as I've done a lot of work on my own, and I've had four years of experience doing coding while in school.
So that's my anecdotal evidence that the job market here in northeast Ohio is fairly good, at least for a just-out-of-school grad with a Master's. For others, however - not so good. I've got a lot of friends who just finished up their Bachelor's (mostly in English, history, stuff like that), and they haven't found jobs yet - of course, I'm not sure what they're looking for. Most of them are working fast food or Wal-mart. Not too surprising, though, since Cleveland is now the poorest city in the US.
Pointed object? That sounds terribly painful. I don't think I've ever heard anyone's member described as 'pointed', before, unless they've done some undescribable modification to it!
Hmm... from listening to this, it certainly isn't ready for primetime. I took me a while to realize that they were supposed to be saying "I Know", because it sounded like "I Low". Consonants definitely need work... of course, it's no worse at english than a lot of the asians I study with:).
Then this really isn't about system support - it's about poorly-written apps. I've seen just as many apps written for windows that don't properly resize when you increase the font size, due to idiots who specify the widget sizes in pixels, instead of using a real layout manager that will automatically size the widgets so you can actually READ ALL THE TEXT THAT IS IN THEM!
Sorry, just had to get that off my chest....
BTW, I run X at 1600x1200 on my 19-inch monitor, and with KDE it works great - I have fonts nice and big so I can read them:)
While I agree that PHP/Perl may be a little easier to use at first, my experiences have been that it is a pain in the ass to do anything very complex with them, mainly because it just doesn't scale well - and the fact that with PHP you have code embedded in the HTML.
Servlet programming really is the bomb. I can't tell you how much time and effort I've saved by writing a few simple intelligent classes (corresponding roughly with DB tables) that know how to save and load their state. Using JUnit I can write unit tests for every piece of code - which is not so easy to do with PHP or Perl.
My mom's cousin Pat was the art director for Maid in Manhattan (if you don't believe me, google for Patricia Woodbridge). At a family reunion last year, she told me that when they were filming the movie, there was one scene where J-Lo goes back to her childhood playground (or something), and sits in a swing. When the day came to film that scene, Pat got a frantic call from the shooting crew. The reason: J-Lo's booty was just too gigantic to fit in the swings at the park! So Pat had to send somebody out and buy a new, booty-approved swing just for that scene.
I'm guessing you must be pretty stinky if you use that deodorant crystal. My former roommate uses that thing, and it doesn't work AT ALL. You might as well just rub your pits with rose petals, it will work about as well.
I'm taking an Automata and Formal Languages class, and at first I thought this said "Context-Free Language support for PDA's" (a PDA is a push-down automata). And I thought, "aren't they already equivalent?"
So what you're saying is that Don Quixote actually had the right idea? He may have thought he was killing giants, but in reality he was stopping the earth's rotation from slowing!
I'm sure they work around it like any good Hollywood summer blockbuster: by ignoring it!
Come on, you didn't think that The Core will be a serious scientific movie, did you? We get to see lots of cool CG effects, probably some kind of sappy love story, and lots of explosions.
I can't believe they have such a crappy icon - I bet I could make something in the gimp in 5 minutes that looks better than that. It looks like they didn't even try...
I haven't used AOL email in a while (got off of AOL right before they went to unlimited access per month and everything went to hell), but I got a big laugh out of their ads which say that their email client 'now has mail sorting!'. Wow. That's so impressive - real mail clients have been able to do that since, what, 1980?

something like this, perhaps:
int _time = time(0);
srand(time);
int randomValue = rand();
For those who aren't c programmers, what this actually does is seed the random number generator with the *function address* of the time() function. Which is just about guaranteed to be constant across all runs of the program (at least on the same machine).

TinyOS development is fun, isn't it? Amazing how much you can do with such a small device :).

It seems like a pretty well-designed spec - I used it for a program I wrote a while back (KDE Cookbook).
"We've got cobalt, it's full of mercury/Too many fumes in our oxygen"
Saw that on Law and Order: Special Victims Unit a few weeks ago - probably not something that really happened.

Maybe they just really liked ravens?
(Ravens - POE - get it?)

Great story about J-Lo's booty:
My mom's cousin Pat was the art director for Maid in Manhattan (if you don't believe me, google for Patricia Woodbridge). At a family reunion last year, she told me that when they were filming the movie, there was one scene where J-Lo goes back to her childhood playground (or something), and sits in a swing.

Pretty crazy, huh?

Shouldn't that be a strictly non-negative number? If you take abs(0), you get zero.
Evidently you didn't memorized it very well... or else you'd know that it is 'Arma virumque canO', not canEM.
(For the clueless out there, that is the first line of the first book of Virgil's Aeneid, which is a pretty rockin' epic.)
Your friend is silly. They BOTH come from the Latin word 'liber', which means 'free'.

You silly person! He didn't climb the WTC - he climbed the Empire State building!
Why should you need to modprobe it at all? Don't you have it set up in /etc/modules to auto-install the module at boot?
