In our company, we use a lint-esque tool. It's use is encouraged, and in fact, required prior to code review. C can allow many painful mistakes by simple misspellings. Further, there are some counter-intuitive ways that it behaves under certain conditions.
How will you know that the company truly addresses the issue?
I do think that some sort of design review should be conducted as proof of compliance, when the government requires them to fix it. Perhaps some level of disclosure is necessary as part of that process.
Since global terrorism is mostly funded by countries whose economies rely almost solely on oil, such as Iraq and Saudi Arabia, then a terrorist would be most unhappy to find such an oil-free solution put into place.
You're assuming that all terrorists are from there?!?
Yeah, the ability to preserve my current library with backwards compatibility is very important. Unfortunately, anyone who buys a Gamecube is forced to throw their N64 and games into the garbage immediately, since it is impossible to hook two systems up to one television at once.
Only if the two systems are made by competing vendors:) The resulting mix can cause seizures and/or the sudden urge to buy more video games.
Yeah? Wrong, unless you use some pretty aggressive settings. The time it takes software to detect the problem is 5 times longer than it takes an Athlon to self destruct.
Tom's Hardware showed the circumstance of having no heatsink or fan. The more likely case of losing a fan would show a more gradual rise, especially if there were at least one auxiliary fan.
the paragraphs you mention are what I was referring to - the thing wasn't a hack - he simply went through a proxy that yahoo internals go
through so that he looks like a yahoo internal... not a hack - all he did was walk through an open door.
Yahoo set up a security measure, and this guy circumvented it by exploiting a flaw. Is it not a hack if it is easy?
From the article (which you might consider reading...)
Proxy problems
Yahoo! declined to comment on the specifics of the hack, but as described by Lamo, modifying the portal's
news stories didn't require much hacking. He made the changes using an ordinary web browser, and didn't
need to do so much as enter a password.
The culprit in this case was a trio of proxy web servers that bridged Yahoo!'s internal corporate network to the
public Internet. By configuring a web browser to go through one of the proxies, anyone on the Internet could
masquerade as a Yahoo! insider, says Lamo, winning instant trust from the company's web-based content
management system.
One possible problem with religions is the concept of Faith. Faith can be dangerous as it allows a charismatic leader to inject extra "truths" into followers' minds and modify their values, such that they may commit acts which are contrary to the teachings of the mainstream parent religion.
People can *know* that they are doing the right thing even while doing things like raping or killing; their proof is in their heart.
I think the general idea was to have a small, lightweight laptop. The Dell laptops that our department has are big and heavy... (Anyone have contrary experience?) I don't consider it a feat to get long battery life out of a laptop if it weighs a lot, since they can just include a beefier battery. Worse yet, those dells (and probably most other PIII laptops) have cooling fans which kick into action when the processor starts to do real work. This transmeta laptop claims to have eliminated the cooling fans, if I remember the article correctly.
We may lose out on the value that Athlons have been. Since they've been playing to the MHz competition, we've been getting a much processor for the buck.

Yeah right, if they're so smart then why do they live in igloos?
Yes, our pop cans come with a paint thinner under the brand name of Coca-Cola
Yep

That wasn't very nice...

With this kit, it will be possible to play nethack on my PS2. Or run EMACS...
If you can't see the inherent value of that, then you might need to re-evaluate your love for linux.

Or perhaps this could be a hi-tech walker? Imagine a gang of senior citizens on these...
Yah, our local Meijer's had ton's of them in stock when I looked last night...
Better than having those ultra huges drives that last a few months... :)

You're right, of course, but I realized it too late... like shutting the locked door with your keys in the ignition...

Maybe it's your version of pump? I've run pump off of the 2.2r3 stable of Debian and had no problems. I use a netgear RT311.

If you give it the power to do more than a simple organizer but give it a dinky screen and a pen pased input, it's going to be a professional's toy.
Either that, or it will require you to lug around accessories (like a keyboard).

It means times per second. It refers to a full clock cycle, up down and back around, including rising and falling edges.
I believe the guy was referring to fetches on the rising and falling edge of the bus clock. AMD does this, maybe others do too?
