    mplayer can play mms:// streams directly

    Ah. It seems I missed the crucial part that the + operator does more than first meets the eye.
    Got it - thanks.

    btw, the joke sucked. :P

    I'm going to have to check this now, because I'm sure I'm right, but I'm going to look a fool if I write the code and I'm wrong :)

    It's not doing exactly *(x+(y)) it's doing more like I said: *(x + sizeof(*x)*y )

    And it's that added sizeof that's makes x[y] != y[x] when it's char x and char *y;

    I did this using konqueror, and using dcop to manipulate the kcookiejar.

    yes because sizeof(int) == size(char*)

  7. Re:C pointers and arrays on Favorite Programming Language Features? · · Score: 1

    I mean:

    char x;
    char y[2];
    x = 1;
    y[1] = 99;

    In this case I don't think that y[x] is the same as x[y]

  8. Re:C pointers and arrays on Favorite Programming Language Features? · · Score: 1

    hmm, that would only work if both sides are the same size.
    This works because an int * is the same size as an int. If you used char's, I'm sure it wouldn't work.

    Correct me if i'm wrong.

    Perhaps it doesn't handle a large number of items in a menu very well, but have you considered just organising your bookmarks into folders?

    So what you are suggesting is that instead of one big thing, what we should do is have lots of little tools. And then we can have them work seemlessly with each other.
    Hey good idea - what we'll do is split everything up into things called kparts. So there is an html kpart called khtml, and a file browsing kpart, and a kword kpart, and a pdf viewer kpart and so on.
    Then to just glue it together we can have an app which just loads the kparts, and call that, say konqueror.

    Oh wait, that's what happens. What was your point again?

    not an attack, but what's with mixing up 'is' and 'are'?

    Anyway, you might want to check out the various efforts at getting eclipse compilied with gcj. IMHO, it's a seriously cool project, and an indication of what could be done if sun OS'ed java..

    It was discussed earlier this year.. let's repeat all the stories every few months just because some people don't read slashdot every day.

    I second using microcontrollers.

    I just wrote a basic network stack for the microcontrollers for the lasers our company produces. All the sensors measure the temperature, with feedback loops to the heaters. Several controllers control 5 or so temperatures and heaters each. The controllers are on a serial bus, with another controller for a usb connection.

    It's fun writing code knowing you only have a few bytes of memory. heh.
