If the table fits in the cpu's data cache don't the lookups get executed as fast as possible (multiple lookups per cycle fully utilizing the ILP window)? Granted, i*c+j would be a single lea instruction anyways.. but even so there could be benefits to using a lookup to eliminate a branch that would otherwise be in the inner loop or to handle some odd case (that would otherwise be a branch in your loop) etc.
What about them drop-catching your domain and then selling it back to you for a price. I was late renewing my domain, gfody.com years ago and it was immediately picked up by these bottom feeders. Their scam is completely automated so I could never get a hold of anybody but I could make an offer to buy it back. I want my domain back but I won't pay them out of principle.
If this happens to you, for the love of god do not plead guilty! Cops will charge you with all sorts of wild and crazy shit. This crazy shit doesn't stick in court but if you plead guilty it's game over.
simple! just try to predict what numbers it will give you. the effective randomness of their numbers is inversely proportional to the success rate of your predictions.

if OurBank.exe listens locally on port 80, add a line to the hosts file pointing ourbank.com and ourbank.bank to 127.0.0.1 and you've got them owned with a man in the middle.
Must we combine data compression with the image format?
I think ideally the PNG format would stop at filtering and just leave you with a file that compresses well.
We could also cover lossy compression in PNG with lossy filters. Lossy filters would result in a file that is even more compressible. If we separate filtering from compression than you would always have lots of choices. Maybe I want to spend 3 hours and PAQ it - who knows how important the file size may be.
Changing the theme to plastik was the very first thing I did after booting up kubuntu. Also, I just tried Crystal (I'm running debian etch) and it doesn't feel any slower.
I really think it's something else.. the sluggishness in kubuntu was pretty dramatic and my machine is very modern.
It's not quite that bad since the money in the bank is not really just sitting there idle. You have a good point though - how much do the millionaires and billionaires of the world actually spend? It's an interesting thought experiment to imagine a society based on a use-it-or-lose-it currency.. how is the incentive to save/hoard mitigated? What social ramifications come about from having to spend all your money all the time.. if you can't spend it do your friends and family get a chance to spend it for you? It seems like a ridiculous idea at first, but if you try and entertain there are some interesting benefits.

You read GEB in an afternoon?! You must have skipped the boring part
Indeed. However, replace "superstar programmer" with "competent programmer" and the question is still sadly relevant.
why isn't "Survive 2012" on this list? Modernized health informatics won't do us any good when we're all wiped out in the pole shift of 2012!

I guess that answers that!
looks like one of the minicity spammers got some mod points
This may be their official rationalization for the loudness war
or even better
Do you realize that amount of typos makes your post the written equivalent of a stumbling drunk blathering fuck all about nothing?

Who makes an SSE version of a function w/o a regular x86 version to fall back on when SSE isn't available?
It may be possible for one pixel to cover the gamut via pulse width modulation if they can change color quickly enough.
Indeed. As does "for", "while", "repeat" or whatever else your HLL gives you.

Debian has a pretty installer now.. there's no need for this whole Ubuntu thing anymore.
Is there a possibility of running this XP clone on non x86 hardware?

I've noticed that KDE is super slow on (k)ubuntu. It's very snappy on debian, though. What gives?
