Butt jokes always work. Farts. Constipation. You name it. They're bound to get to someone. Of course, given the size of the/. audience, stories about grand mothers and navel lint would get to SOMEONE.
Seriously though, some kind of early warning/mirroring system could really help out situations like these, although they would take some kind of coordination with the "bend-ee",/. being the "bender". See what I mean about butt jokes? This is the part where you're supposed to laugh.
If half the people in a group think your witty, does that make you halfwitty?
Do we have any kind of an early warning system for these little sites with great content? "Hey, you're about to get more hits in an hour than you've had in the last 2 years. Grab your ankles."
Give the poor bastards a little notice. At least then they could apply some K-Y first.
After reading about just how much work they went through to make a BEC (that's Bose-Enstien Condensate), they then suggest that this could be used for night vision goggles.
Does anyone else NOT want a substance at about a billionth of a degree kelvin near their head? This stuff makes liquid nitrogen look toasty by comparison.
BEC's have all kinds of "odd" properties that make them interesting, but I can't get excited about strapping one over my eyes. Call me silly, but that just strikes me as a Bad Idea.
If they can duplicate the same quantum states that allow this high index of refraction in something a little more stable, this could actually lead to something practical, but I'm not holding my breath.
Also of interest, someone used a BEC to create a coherent beam of matter. I don't remember the URL though.
If "the government" is willing to make this sort of thing public, what are they holding back? The recently declassified spy satellite photos are another good example of this sort of thing.
Lets induce current in some poor fool's synapses. "Oooooweee! Lookit'im twitch". To say nothing of what "they" could do to some statesman with a pacemaker.
"Gee, we don't know why Ambassador Yaka-Yaka had a heart attack. Thats really too bad. Our sincerest condolences. Honest."
That exactly fits with Katz little theory. I actually thought they were kidding, but never found the;). Not nearly as hostile as some I've seen, but not exactly calm, cool, and collected either.
I think people like this are just blowing off steam, not being able to confront the REAL cause of their frustration, be it their boss, the IRS, or their inability to get it up, or even all the above.
Flaming actually strikes me as fairly healthy. So bring it, baby.
C++ is a SUPERSET of C. Everything a wannabe hippster C++ programmer might learn from this book WILL APPLY DIRECTLY TO C++.
I use C++ and/or Java every day. You can bet I'll read this book sooner or later to make myself a better programmer in languages based on C (including Objective-C, for all you NeXT/Mac types out there).

Is the ./ effect a DOS attack? Heh.

Did anyone else notice that their testing box had Windows, Be, and FreeBSD on it? I thought that was vaguely hip.
Score a couple brownie points for the author.
Too bad they blew those points when they compared bash to dos (rather than the other way around).

It's (vaguely) interesting to note that Djikstra is the only author with two papers in their list.
So there.
"Umm... Goto's are bad, m'kay?"
Actually, I've been hunting around for the "Goto's" paper for a while now.
