  2. Army and one platform on Slashback: Armed, Cracked, Cables · · Score: 0, Troll

    Why does the army not release America's Army for the Mac or Linux? Is this an even against all of what a government stands for, they are promoting a single company, which actually has been convicted of anti-trust (M$).

    The army needs to figure out they are doing something against the law by promoting a company that was convicted of anti-trust.

    If you did more cycles you would see that all the pi's are about equal and closer to the real pi. It just uses a brute force method so you need more cycles to see that they are more equal.

    Red Hat did not fix it until after Apple, even then they had released a hacked version of an older version of the software which has bugs and maybe some exploits.

    It is not illegal to tamper with your own property, like cars and stuff, then it the cable modems were owned by the people the FBI/Cable company cannot complain at all because this is legal, or I should have was, DMCA makes it illegal and even tampering with cars too. But since DMCA is unconsitional because it does not allow you to work on your property it does not matter.

  12. Re:Submission on Comparison Of Google to Teoma · · Score: 1

    PITA is not a good way have having people use your search engine because ordinary people would like to submit other web sites they find interesting for other people.

    If paying a company to have you own site be included is one thing but paying for other sites to included is another. People other than owners of the sites like to have the largest database available to search for things, paying to be included would limit to what is payed for but not what is good.

  14. gcc and -MD on Kernel 2.5.22 · · Score: 1

    The ChangeLog entry:

    kbuild: Pass to fixdep

    cpp -MD guesses the target name from the source file name, but not
    always correctly, e.g. when compiling fixdep, it generates prequisites
    for fixdep.o instead of fixdep.

    fixdep now fixes up the -MD generated output to contain the right target,
    which is the one we pass on the command line.

    This can be fixed another way bu using the option -MQ or MT:
    `-MT TARGET'
    Change the target of the rule emitted by dependency generation. By
    default CPP takes the name of the main input file, including any
    path, deletes any file suffix such as `.c', and appends the
    platform's usual object suffix. The result is the target.

    An `-MT' option will set the target to be exactly the string you
    specify. If you want multiple targets, you can specify them as a
    single argument to `-MT', or use multiple `-MT' options.

    For example, `-MT '$(objpfx)foo.o'' might give

    $(objpfx)foo.o: foo.c

    `-MQ TARGET'
    Same as `-MT', but it quotes any characters which are special to
    Make. `-MQ '$(objpfx)foo.o'' gives

    $$(objpfx)foo.o: foo.c

    The default target is automatically quoted, as if it were given
    with `-MQ'.
