Minor point releases now contain major changes in e.g. schedulers.
As much as this is now commonplace, I believe the virtual memory management subsystem was entirely replaced half-way through the 2.4 series. This management style has always been a concern for production users.
I've already seen her stance on video games, that's all I needed to know.
Like all things in life, voting is about balance. Sure, if one particular policy offends you so much, you will vote for the opponent, but enough of the opponent's policies may offend you too. You must also consider that video games may be trivial in comparison to other policies, such as liberties. It is your vote.
In Australia we have a preferential voting system which I believe empowers voters to rank candidates - hopefully by policy (possibly in descending order of evil *grin*) - but we do have compulsory voting: the merits of which are debatable.
In fact, they often reduce our federal elections to a one-policy debate: economics. Compulsory voting with the threat of higher interest rates under the potential leadership of the opposition arguably scares the politically unmotivated or uneducated to vote with this threat in mind.
As Bill Hicks once said, "There are more important things to vote with than your wallet."
Yet another poorly moderated comment. The parent is not "Informative": neither does it quote detail nor simply related to another. It is an original thought developing insight into the consequences of the system under discussion.
It seems most slashdot moderators have insight and information confused. Compare the above to this comment which is informative, not insightful.
I had a quick look the other day for something like Blat on Linux that does all the tedious stuff (supports domain logins and all that Windows wank) and came up with sweet nothing.
Anyone know of this? The source could be used to provide something like the Gmail Filesystem.
Very true, but it is important to note that these are extensions first provided by ksh and adopted by bash and zsh (IIRC). The article should have discussed different interpreters.
Unless you can justify bringing your company to a halt over some vulnerabilities with no real-world risk, you just can't do it.
In fact the risk is very real. Managers need to choose between $$$ and security. I'll give you three guesses which one is chosen most.
Also, do they actually know about these vulnerabilities? I'm a Debian user and they send me an email when vulnerabilities become known. Does Microsoft do this too?
Contrary to popular belief, the former is suitable for beginners - they just require guidance. Do them a favour and don't buy any books that pretend to make it easier: more pages; less content. Most of them are named "C Programminig for {Scientists,Engineers}".
Finally, steal lecture slides from your local university's first C course. You might also wish to teach them something of a non-procedural paradigm like a functional language (Haskell is cool).
"Based on the thoroughness of the statement and the use of the word 'precedent' in the second sentence, it appears that the Google PR team huddled with the legal team to get their point across."
Was the author smoking a cigarette at the time? In his underpants? Was he pissed off with his wife? Had he run out of beer? Who gives a shit.
What is it with this hack analysis of "how" something was produced. Academics got distracted with this idea of process a long time ago; did a good job of it; and some of them moved on. Don't try it yourself at home kids. Try to paraphrase the actual content.

When this is said after acquiring a product, and not before, it's just plain sales. The only missing word is framework. B+

Some of the figures went up by ~1%! Did they move something out of the kernel?
I wasn't stoned when I saw the ad either!

I'm guessing he trawled his browser cache after it was removed.
It is rather curious still.

Do you put 'NSOH' in your singles ad?
Universities aren't companies? Now who's being naive, Clarice?

There are only two books: The C Programming Language by Kernighan and Ritchie; and Expert C Programming by Peter van der Linden.

I think it's great that EDS didn't make the top 40. Where's the rest of the list? I'd really like to see where they ended up.
