I don't have to worry about long waits or being ``denied a yearly preventative MRI''
The former because you don't live in a big city, the latter because you'd be willing to pay a deductible or have fantastically expensive insurance.
the Canadian system is ok if you're young and healthy (but then you're fine with no insurance!), it often works if you have a life-threatening acute illness.
You're fine with no insurance until you do something mundane like slip on the ice and hurt yourself (and can't sue/blame anyone else) or even have to see a doctor about a rash.
Since my family and I are in excellent health, I'd be willing to take that step
You're speaking as if you'd be risking your health if you were sick in Canada, which is just ludicrous. Of course it's a step down because you can't pay for better care, but there are few circumstances where that would have any impact on your health or quality of life.
If you're worrying about your debts, you don't make enough money to get better care in the US than you would in BC.
Read our health statistics (and yours for comparison), rather than anecdotes from people who had a long emergency room wait or were denied a yearly preventative MRI.
Function overloading is not replaceable by function pointers, at least that I can see (I could be confused).
Function overloading is the ability to define two functions with the same name, and the compiler knows which one a caller wants based on the parameters:
Also, malloc() and free() are pretty close to new/delete, but in C++, malloc() will not call a constructor and free() will not call a destructor. But I do realize you were talking about using free/malloc in C.
And C++ doesn't have templates per se, but since it has multiple inheritance you could use a pure virtual class as your "template".
Come on, he was obviously pulling the numbers out of his ass. Like those people who keep saying "99%" when they mean "the vast majority, but I don't have any hard numbers beyond that".
It's a clothing designer in my area. I had to look at the source to figure out that I had to go to/main.php to see the website.

Wow, sweeping generalizations about other countries. I've heard this "no freedom in Europe because of the hate laws" line so much I'm convinced it's part of your public school curriculum.
They have laws against hate speech, and in the meanwhile you've got obscenity laws (like those middle eastern countries you mentioned), USAPATRIOT and the DMCA. Every country has restrictions on speech.
Also, China is not strictly communist. They have a rapidly growing capitalist economy based out of the cities where the worker has far less protections than the US (or, especially, western Europe). It has more in common with a fascist dictatorship. A better example would have been North Korea.
Actually, this is exactly what you'd see in your libertarian fantasy world. The government is _not restricting_ the freedom of the theatres to block cellphone signals if they wish. It's private property.
"Taking away freedom" would be for the gov't to make it illegal for any business to implement this, or forcing all businesses to implement this.
Then mail them an image they want to see. The user will right-click, see a perfectly normal piece of porn and in the meantime will be silently getting owned.
"C" is not a valid LANG. C is a locale. A valid LANG would be something like "en". You may as well set LANG="" if you specify C. But en will give you the effect you're looking for.
That stuff doesn't look sinister, and it isn't going to scare anyone. It just makes you look like a nerd. Same goes for trenchcoats, army boots and skull jewellery.
Unless you're just joking and I didn't pick that up.
If you wanted to scare someone out of your house maybe you could keep pet snakes in plain view, or leave bear traps and broken glass on the floor. Appear crazy.
Are you going to just plug those 96 boxes into the wall? How about cooling? Plus for $250 total, the smallest case I can imagine you getting is a 4U, which means you'd need 10 full racks to hold these systems. If you're colocating, that cost alone would probably justify the single $100k box.
Some animals just discard or eat their unfit young after they are born. Compared with that, abortions are the better choice. But thanks for bringing this up. It's exactly what everyone needs to argue about when the topic is surveillance cameras.
I might be wrong about the P-100. Ars Technica agrees with me: see here.
Note that the fastest 486s were AMD parts - their 486DX went up to 40 MHz, and the "486DX4" (clock tripled, not 4x as the name would imply") had 100MHz and 120 MHz versions!

Oops, you're right. I was thinking of interfaces (in the Java sense of the word). Don't know how I confused that with templates.
Function overloading is not replaceable by function pointers, at least that I can see (I could be confused).
Function overloading is the ability to define two functions with the same name, and the compiler knows which one a caller wants based on the parameters:
blah *get_person (const char *name);
blah *get_person (int age, int height);
Also, malloc() and free() are pretty close to new/delete, but in C++, malloc() will not call a constructor and free() will not call a destructor. But I do realize you were talking about using free/malloc in C.

Yes they are indy, as in independant from corporate ownership. They never said they were unbiased.

I retract my previous comment :). Confusing stuff.

Your BIOS does power management for you while you're in DOS. Video blanking and HD shutoff, at least, that I'm aware of.
That's why Kelvin's not a degree. It's an absolute scale.
-34.5 degrees Celsius is 238.7 Kelvin.

I blame Phil Collins. Trespass was their only really good album, although I did enjoy Nursery Cryme.

Wrong wrong wrong. The P-90 was a 1.5x multiplied 60MHz bus. The pentinum came in 3 bus speeds:
50MHz - P-50, p-75
60MHz - P-60, p-90, p-120
66MHz - P-66, P-100, P-133, P-166, P-200, P-233
I might be wrong about the P-100. Ars Technica agrees with me: see here.
