Try taking a scheduled minibus through the countryside. Or, actually don't try it. I've been on a couple and I've never been as scared for my life. They seemed to think the middle lane divider is a marker for where to drive... any oncoming traffic you just flash the lights to make them move out of the way.
That's not enough by far. It's very easy for the program to contain a wine style fake dll, which can call any libc functions it wishes (e.g. system, posix_spawn, etc.). Wine does not try to protect the windows programs from accessing the system.
This is interesting... wanted to mod it but no points, so guess I have to reply.
I also find C fun to code, and good for many tasks, including string handling which some seem to use as argument to not use it. I'm trying to learn C++ now but it's quite complicated. C is a much simpler language, and you usually spend less time thinking about how to solve the problem than actually writing the code. Maybe if I code enough C++ it'll be the same, but that feels like far far of right now.
Not that it's a bad idea to design first and write later. It's just not as fun, like you mentioned.
It's been on slashdot before, probably for other states, can't really remember. Frankly, as a European (Sweden to be exact), I'm still surprised you don't have taxes on internet purchases. Any online US retailer exporting to EU does have to add VAT to those transactions (which are then sent off the to EU state).
Well, I didn't check, but if BusyBox is using GPL 3 then it requires that Sony provides the tools or at least instructions to let you install the software on the device along with the source itself. That's the whole tivoization thing and might be what they're trying to avoid.
Damn, not sure how I forgot the worst part of all. dtruss requires root to be run, so you usually have to do some convoluted double sudo to run a program the same way as without it.
As long as the leave strace in place. Apple replaced ktrace with dtrace and I've been hating it ever since. It's not that dtrace is bad, it's just that they have different purposes, and dtruss has several problems ktrace/strace does not:
It's asynchronous. Meaning it won't output write(1, "foo\n", 4); next to the actual output of foo.
Sometimes stuff gets out of order, not sure why.
It'll only output pointer addresses, e.g. bind(3, 0x12345678,...) instead of bind(3, {127.0.0.1, 8080},...)
That's not different from moving a VM from one host to another, the router needs to change its ARP table in that case as well. There's no reason the IP couldn't be app bound instead of machine bound, if you're willing to assign one IP per app (IPv6 would help). But we're lacking the tools to migrate an IP from one host to another, including the TCP sessions. That's a software problem though, and could be implemented if there's demand for it.
It's regulated in law 1998:1593. In short, it has to be a community whose main purpose is practice of religion, it has to have a stature and board, and it has to have sermons. Several organisations falls short on the last point, for example the secular Humanisterna.
C would have been an interesting language to compare. We actually rewrote some C code to C++ and saw a speed benefit. Ofc, the original C code was very object oriented in this case, using structs with function pointers.
It's $25 per year and if I understood it correctly you don't get to keep the files if you cancel it. But I didn't watch the keynote firsthand so might very well be wrong.
Here's the change we are discussing (google translate).
Old text:
Electronic communications may be used to store or access information that is stored in a subscriber or user-dares terminal equipment only if the subscriber or user of the controller is informed about the purpose of treatment and opportunity to prevent such treatment. This does not prevent such storage or access needed to perform or facilitate the transfer of electronic messages via an electronic communications network or which is necessary to provide a service that the subscriber or user has requested.
will be changed to:
Data may be stored in or retrieved from a subscriber or user equipment only if the subscriber or user will have access to information about the purpose of treatment and agree to it. This does not prevent such storage or access needed to transmit an electronic message via an electronic communications network or which is necessary to provide a service the subscriber or user has explicitly requested.
Not sure I've ever seen such an ambiguous law text.
Even if it is per device, iTunes will accept it wherever it's used. Until Apple blacklists it of course. If it's not per device, it's possible that they can update it with a firmware update, but the new one has to be in the downloaded firmware in that case, and could be intercepted. Plus they had to convince people to actually update the firmware.
But I've been prefering Spotify over iTunes for quite a while now anyway, so meh.
There can be if glibc is newer then the kernel. This was a common problem back when epoll was new (for a year or so), you had to actually try to call it to see if it would work or not. So either you had to make a test program in your configure script or support the case of epoll failing.
Are they using glibc or the freebsd one? Because one of the developer advantages of the BSDs are that kernel and libc are more in sync. Ie. there's no system calls in libc that are not in the kernel, and vice versa.
Useful as long as you have software that runs on IPv6. There's a lot of software that will never be upgraded, so most likely dual stack will be around for a long long time.

They also collate differently, which may in some cases be very important. C uses byte value order, en_US will put á before b etc.

Maybe you can do without mouse, but once you start using the visual mode, which vi lacks, you'll never go back.
Well, it might work, if they're fast. But you're assuming the debt is in US dollars, which it probably isn't (at least not all of it).
They also announced that they're shutting down codesearch. That's much bigger news as far as I'm concerned. Sad to see a great tool disappear.
Whoosh!

Ok, rant over.

From napster? A search for 128 kbit MP3 might be enough. Your legal ones are probably of higher quality.

Those are glob patterns based on hexstrings:
<key>CFBundleIdentifier</key>*<string>com.avm.pkg.avSetup</string>
avRunner.app*avRunner*DownloadPict.png
Not sure about the "Identity" param though. It's 160 bits, so could be a sha1 checksum.
Still seems rather trivial to get around.

All good points, except perhaps that the expense of certificates is not an issue for any business, even small ones. Here's another one:
6. You can't serve http ads when using https, and many ad systems are only available on http.
