does this mean that intel's compiler will now be able to compile the linux kernel? and have they submitted their optimizations back to the kernel developer team (the article said that 20-30 percent performance improvement came from changes to linux itself)?
Every time I build it's basically 50/50 whether or not the compiler is going to start throwing spurrious exceptions.
That being said, I've been working with VS.NET 2002 since beta 2 and have never seen it throw an exception at me. I'm going to go out on a limb and say you've got some faulty hardware or you've hosed your IIS settings (very easy to do).
Please explain for me why a compiler would want to look at a webserver's settings when compiling (or at all, for that matter)?
...I can't believe programmers in this day can't get sizeof(void*) != sizeof(int) on all machines.
uhm... on a 64 bit machine ints should be 64 bit... ints are variable sized depending on the architechture of the machine. During my 3½ second google research before posting I couln't find a reference to back me up but IIRC sizeof(void*) is always == sizeof(int). What is much more likely is that the snort code is using some WORD macro (__int32 or something) in stead of int. So the solution should be to change some configure script to make sure that the WORD macro (or whatever the 32 bit sized name is) is changed to something that is word sized (64 bits in your case).
IANAL but isn't there some law that sais that a company must always do what makes the *most* profit for it's shareholders? I believe such a law exists here in Denmark...
Therefore, MS is just doing what it is law-bound to do... even tho we may not like the way they make business, they are required by law to do the best they can to make money, it seems that is what they are doing this time, again...
Im sorry, it never occured to me that noone had made a windows port of evolution... with cygwin (or some of the other linux->win32 kits) it should be very possible tho...
why not change to evolution? It looks exactly like outlook, and if you don't use excange features anyway, then why not simply use the product that meets your demands instead of one that is made by microsoft?
I'm not trolling. I'm serious. Why do people choose to use MS products when there are alternatives out there, that will meet their demands?
I usually try to use the best tool for the job - not the "I have a hammer, therefore all my problems are a nail" solution.
In game you have a vitual wallet. You are able to make transfers to and fom your real bank account at any time. So if you earn money in the game you are earning money in real life too.
True, but why do people have to keep writing programs with static buffer sizes? I cannot think of one single acceptable excuse to write a piece of software where a buffer overflow can happen.
If user input is in any way involved - directly or indirectly - then you need to test it before you accept it! There is no exuse!
Buffer overflows is not the only security issue with software, but the principle behind preventing it applies to most of the security issues out there...
So, I have to agree with your parent poster: the people making the software are lazy!

luckily for MS the XML standard is so wide and allows for so much extension (hence the X) that it is possible to follwo the XML spec and still make a file format that for all intents and purposes is completely unreadable and therefore in reality closed - and therefore against the idea behind XML.
The fact that MS is using XML is purely to increase the amounts of buzzwords they can use when speaking of their products - not because they want to make an open file format.
They chose a Windows 2000 platform "because it performed considerably than Linux 7.2". WHAT IS LINUX 7.2 AND HOW ARE WE EXPECTED TO TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!?!
If I had moderator points today I would mod you insightful. This is the very core of the upside to open source development. If the system is as important as some of the government systems are it should most definitely be open source!

one wonders how this could ever be accepted as a story:

I needed a laugh after that article!
it is indeed possible to get alpha transparency in png, one description of how to do it can be found here.

why would that be the job of a compiler?

in the spirit for trying to find easy solutions: have you tried
#define unsigned unsigned long
#define int long
This has the potential to break a lot of code, but it just might work...

What are all these colors doing on the main page?!?!
This is quickly getting VERY ugly?
Can I turn it off somewhere?
Go ahead mod me off-topic and troll etc. but this is *very* ugly!

it would seem that the 71 build is under a "beta" sub directory. the 71 build is there, it's just hidden a little bit...

There's always a hole that cannot be planned.

will gnus then run under evolution too?

After some consideration, I propose that this system should be applied to Slashdot stories!
after some consideration?!?! how does that take consideration? with the state of our collective spelling skills we need to apply it immediately!
