Usually (well, with gcc and linux, at any rate) there's a file called "crt0.o" that does initial setup (sets up argv[], maybe env[] and quite possible errno and funky things with alloca(). Once that's done it calls to main().
The backup generators wern't out in the open, facing the ocean. They were behind a tsunami-protection wall 1m higher than the highest on record in the region. Shame this tsunami was 3m higher than that...
Yet the whole point of having the machine in the first place is to free up the person from mundane and unproductive tasks so they can do something useful with their time.
And sometimes the way to do that is the command line. I had to move some files from an old mac to a server. It had a graphical ftp client on it.
Click "File"
Click "Open"
Click "Desktop"
Click "workfolder"
Scroll to filename
Have another go to see if multiple file select might just work now
Double-click filename
Click "upload button"
Click "browse network"
Double-click server
Click "OK"
Repeat for remaining ~1800 files.
Or for a cli ftp client: "mput *"
And sometimes the way to do that is the gui. I had 3 pdf files to combine into 1 (text, color figures, appendix from a different author using different software). Spent ages with pdftk. Then tried preview.app. Drag and drop the pages into place.
Right. I've got a folder with 103 items in it. I open a finder window. It shows 5 rows of 3. I click the "randomize-the-window" thing. The finder window now has 7 rows of 3 items. Since I want an overview so I can drag stuff to the trash (which pops up when I get near it) or to the Desktop or Documents (both of which are in the side bar) I don't want to waste screen real estate just so I get to scroll more. Drag the window over to the left of the screen. Drag the corner to the right. WoHo! I've now got 7.5 rows of 7 icons. Almost 50% of the info to overview in one screen, rather than the 20% the "do-wierdness" button gives me. Now yes, maximizing the window so you get a half row of icons; well, I can see a case for not doing that. But I'd like to use my screen to the best effect for the task I'm doing. And the "useless-little-clicky" doesn't do that. Maybe you'd never want to use all the screen for one task if you have a 21" monitor. I've got a MacBook, so, yes I do. And what really boils my piss? I clicked the "fucking-retarded" button again. Finder is now 7.5 rows by 6 icons. And again, were back to 3 by 7, and then 3 by 5. And again, 3 by 3. And again, 3 by 3. Stuck now. Seriously, WTF???
So, don't bother with lisp..NET is popular, but not enough to get over the M$ factor. And unix at 666 W.T.F.??? Looks like C and SQL, same as last decade!
There are three methods of distributing an iP* app. ApStore, of course. And adhoc, which is limited to 100 devices, is only for testing purposes and requires a unique binary for every device it's to run on. And enterprise, which is limited "in house" to one company. (There's also web apps, and apps for jailbroken devices.)

Nope. The top 10% are middle-men. The jobs come from the customers. And they're broke or out of a job.
Exactly the experience I've had. Won't waste my time contributing any more.
Word and Excel predate Windows. SQL server was from Sybase. And Exchange? Nope.
Reactor 1 had just got another 10 years. Dunno about the others, but they weren't yet due to shut.
BULLSHIT!

The major difference? Banjos vs Bagpipes.
What is this "Zune" of which you speak???
The iPhone came out years before and had nothing for a point of reference .
PalmOS.
Used to freak out people when I did # cat vmlinuz > /dev/fd0 to make a boot disk.

I'm still waiting for a one-size-for-all toolset!

You can hear to 44100Hz??? That's dog whistle territory. Is this you?
Naah. Windows Mobile Edition. Or Windows ME to its friend.
What "innovative features found on Android and IPhone" from Microsoft and RIM did not come first from Palm or the Newton?
t=t+rand();
I see no reason why explanation number one is more likely than explanation number two.
See point 1), word #1.
Ah, so it's a feature.

The problem isn't the 7 year olds eating magnets, it's the 7 year olds not putting their stuff out of reach of their 2 year old sisters...
