Firefox 12 still has a memory leak in it. Nothing like getting back from the weekend to see Firefox has a 1.5 GB RAM footprint and making my system crawl to a halt. Always amusing to turn on the task manager and just watch the memory getting sucked up in real time.
No I'm not new here, but the grammar of the subject indicates that iPads were being replaced by math textbooks which to me is much more newsworthy than the fact that some school administrator thinks that they need to replace a $100 text book with a $500 electronic device with roughly half the shelf-life.
On some architectures (e.g. 68k), there were pre-decrement and post-increment addressing modes. So things like *a-- = *b-- would be slower than *--a = *--b
Hmm. I've found many bugs in compilers, operating systems, and commonly used libraries. I've also found bugs in a handful of different microprocessors. One simply needs to be able to cleanly identify and prove the root cause. Unfortunately, that is not so simple.
btw Programming languages don't really have bugs. Their implementations can.
DST will not save one bit of pocket lint in terms of energy savings. But it will provide more light for consumers to drive around and shop. The more light there is later in the day, the more likely people will be out shopping and not realize the time.
I was referring to general instruction. (The BASIC programming would be part of the math curriculum). If a student wants to take graphic arts classes, let em. (The topics you listed all fall in that realm). If they want to learn how to write software, teach em. But don't ruin a students composition/speaking skills by teaching them Powerpoint in grade school.
I have used/programmed computers since the 6502, I was editor-in-chief for one of the first high schools yearbooks in the country to use Desktop publishing for the entire book, but I still believe for the most part that computer usage in the general curriculum should be limited.
We had parent orientation the other day. The 2nd grade teacher got up and spoke from her powerpoint slides. Actually she read from her powerpoint slides. I really hope this teacher doesn't use Powerpoint in the classroom. The students would never learn how to fashion a complete sentence. Fortunately, this wasn't my child's teacher. If you want kids to learn how to communicate, keep them away from Powerpoint.
Here's my take on when computers should be introduced: 7th grade - WordProcessing/typing 8th - Basic (not Visual Basic) programming to prepare kids for algrebra. 9th - a short seminar on software types and when each is appropriate (i.e shreadsheet, database, email, im. etc)
There is absolutely no reason to teach kids how to embed video in powerpoint, etc.
Someone had just gotten F19 Stealth Fighter at the beginning of the semester and we installed it on my computer. Friends were constantly playing all day. I had to finally issue some flight restrictions so that I could sleep. Last flight had to take-off before 11:00. Each flight could last more than an hour when doing the "stealth" missions. (fly low and slow) Typically flights would start taking off early the next morning. Luckily once classes started, the problem disappeared.
That makes the faulty assumption that both buffers are on the stack. If they are in malloc'd memory, then the length cannot be capped by EBP-*ptr. I've seen some memory schemes where if there is a buffer overflow in malloc'd memory, the free list can be trashed and poof! No more memory. Ugh.
After wasting my time reading many redundant posts it is obvious that there is certain type of humor that is particular to those in technical realms.
Reading these posts reminds me a lot of the comments for the Immortal Works of EE Times. The same jokes seem to made over and over with the punchlines being all too obvious. It is entertaining for only the first couple of times and then is quickly tiring. If the jokes are thus so obvious, I'm not sure how any will ever make it to the patent office. Oh yeah, the only thing obvious to the patent office is the nose on their face (maybe).
But to be on topic, my patent:
Efficiency algorithm to eliminate time wasting reading material.
To more effectively be able to scan large quantities of ramblings on news groups filters are necessary to reduce the amount of unnecessary reading material. These filters are incomplete and extremely unmanageable to handle all possible configuration options. This algorithm greatly simplifies the process by striking all material unless it contains keywords in an inclusion list. This eliminates the extra dross on topics that are not cared about by the user. It then does a follow-up filter to eliminate all information that is redundant with the knowledge base of the user. This is done by striking all material containing the keywords in the inclusion list. As these union of these two filters is the universe, the process is further simplified by simply sending the entire material to/dev/null.

Exactly. It is well documented Chicago shaved the yellow light times to increase red light violations.

I wouldn't be surprised either, except for the lighting. There is a shadow on the right shoulder, but the right side of his face is lit up.

Or the one who can tell you why --i; was faster than i--;

Or you just get a Sun USB Type 6 keyboard.
