Neat, well its been nearly a year since I used splint last. Maybe they just have updated the code.
Eitherway I prefer
"--std=c99 -pedantic -Wall -W -Wshadow" as my warnings for GCC. It catches a shit-load of common coding foobars and also ensures the code follows ISO C [definite bonus].
Meh, whatever lefty. I loves me some debian. That doesn't mean I wouldn't mind being a MS employee. Fuck at this point I'm about a month from being homeless. Anything would do.
I know how to put a computer together from scratch. I buy it in parts and within 10-15 mins I'm up and running [after wrestling with those pop up PCI covers... arrg]
I don't see why a computer manufacturer couldn't just sell the parts, build their own design and sell that. I don't see the local MS gestapo around Ottawa at least...
And heaven forbid he donates money to charities, research, funds scholarships and hosts parties at his lakeside house thingy.
Yeah, evil Gates!
The problem you guys have is "why didn't I think of that back then". And the truth of the matter is he played by the rules and won. Then we established anti-trust as a sore-loser defence. Because everyone knows you can buy PCs without OSes [point in case I've never bought a PC with an OS on it].
So you bought an entire second PC because you can't get used to white noise?
Faggot.
I have a 12" desk fan pointing into my open AMD based computer running 24/7 and I sleep just fine at night. The trick is to sleep with your head at the OTHER END of the room. It isn't too loud and the white noise actually helps me sleep by masking out other house bound night noises.
The engines fall out and the plane is hurdling towards the ground at mach 1.7 or so. Is this computer going to steer a 20 tonne brick around the soft-wall?
Telemarketers and spammers alike don't deserve respect.
If you get mail, try to always reply... on their dime. E.g. when they have business reply stuff.
Otherwise, if there is a return address mark "dead" on the mail and send it back.
If you're getting calls always try to find out things about the caller. Ask where they go to school [most are students]. Ask what political party they voted for, etc.
The bottom line is instead of trying to run and hide from them why not have fun instead? Answer the phone, just don't give them useful information. Lie through your teeth while learning things about them.
Yeah, but it isn't like it wouldn't take 10 mins to write/test a installer script for debian. Even for newer kernels all you have todo is go into each dir[GLX+nv_kernel], type make, edit the XF86CONFIG-4 file and boom.
Heck if I were more knowledgeable about Linux I would offer such a script to the public.
That being said newbies shouldn't be switching kernels all too often anyways. Everytime I tried Linux in the past I screwed it up by installing kernels incorrectly.
I was using WinXP [semi-happily] just two days ago. Until XP decided that my TV tuner drivers were obsolete and wouldn't load them [I had to uninstall and reinstall the drivers].
Oh and how it seems to never remember my folder viewing settings.
Besides, by your logic MS is a hunking piece of junk because it so exploitable [e.g. lets blame non-OS issues on the OS!]
Admitedly it wasn't point and click to get the nv drivers but the Knoppix install was very easy. It autodetects basically all of my hardware [including the nv card using the default nv non-accell drivers]. From CD to fully installed OS was all of about 30 minutes.
Upgrading via apt-get took me another 30 minutes.
Try doing that with WinXP. I know for a fact it takes roughly 2 to 3 hours to go from CD to fully patched OS.
Oh and I installed my nv drivers without rebooting, so shut your face asswipe!
Speaking as someone who just installed Knoppix and the Nvidia drivers you're full of it.
Just grab the GLX and Kernel [4363 is latest] tar.gz's. Unpack them, export IGNORE_CC_MISMATCH=true. go into the Kernel directory, make, go into the GLX directory, make, go into/etc/X11, edit XF86CONFIG-4 [e.g. remove dri, etc.. replace nv with nvidia], add nvidia to your/etc/modules
now either reboot or isnmod nvidia and launch startx. Boom NVIDIA drivers.
It took me a while to figure that out [specially the IGNORE_CC part] but once I did I had no troubles installing the files.
All in all if you know what you are doing it takes 3 minutes to install the drivers and GLX portions.
That's simply not true. I don't have a SMS plan and I still get spam [from my provider no less] about BS like upgrading services and how the Senators were doing in the playoffs.
That sort of BS not only pisses me off [SMS can crash v120c phones] but can cost money.

Agreed. Things like splint often report "warnings" on code that shouldn't be. For instance
int some_func(char *somebuf)
{
if (somebuf == NULL) return ERROR;
somebuf[0] = 'a';
return OK;
}
Will generate a warning with splint saying "pointer may be null" despite the fact it cannot be.
Those tools are generally too sensitive and give too many false positives to be useful in the long run.

Screw you and your left wing bullshit.
If he donated zero he's greedy. If he donated some he's greedy [and tax cheating].
Moral of the story. Who gives a fuck what you fucking think you momma's-twat.
I bet those charities he donated too don't care why he donated it.
Tom
He donates millions and you call that chump change?
Ok lets put this in perspective. How many millions have *you* donated to charity last year?

This serves to only debunk the usefulness of benchmarking...

The most patriotic thing an american can do is live free.
Why must I show a Canadian flag to show how much I embrace democracy?
Personally I think all you flag showing yuppies are simple minded beasts who should be hunted to extinction.

Learn some fucking English you half-wits. It be the easiests language yo mo-fo can learns.
I cants understand why the people split and speaks the other languages. Its like they be not trying hards enough.

How do you use a crappy baseball team to browse the web?
Tom
How did you post on /.? You can't browse the web without a GUI!
Stupid.

Too fucking bad. Get your friend to sign you up. Boom one time deal.
Seriously. What's next? Brail cars? Audio assistance in fighter jets?
Tom
10 fingers? 10 toes!? 10 dollars to my name!?!?!?
AAAAAACCCCCKKKKK!
Praise Jesus!!!!
Tom
Correct me if I'm wrong but that package doesn't install the GLX drivers at least my GLX didn't work until I manually installed it myself.
Tom

As I said in a previous post, the lack of a clean install for Linux is not the fault of the OS but the driver maker.
nVidia has yet to make a clean installer [not that it would be hard todo].
Tom
Gah? nv drivers come with most linux distros.
If you want ACCELERATED drivers you have to jump through hoops. This isn't a fault of Linux but nVidia themselves!
I mean man MSVC sucks that means WinXP sucks!
Tom

Not really. Some people have digital phones [not by choice] and don't buy a SMS plan.
Like me... I can still receive or send but I pay a premium because I don't pay 4$/mo extra for SMS features I don't want.
