I AM ABSOLUTELY *OUTRAGED* TO FIND IT'S JUST ABOUT BANDWIDTH USE.
I think it must be some type of dyslexia. I once read a BBC News headline about "Papal Bigotry" imagining that PayPal had been discriminating against its customers, only to find out, TO MY COMPLETE DISAPOINTMENT (sorry) that it was only about the Vatican.
Does the american military realise that three ships have already set sail from europe carrying deadly biological weapons, and that when they arrive on the other side of the Atlantic disease will kill millions, hundreds of thousands will be enslaved and it will change the world forever. The ships are called Santa Maria, Nina and Pinta. Just thought you should be situationally aware.
If the problem is with perverts looking at child porn then solve it by stopping the small number of perverts from being able to look at it rather than installing software or hardware in every internet capable device with a graphical display (which will then lead to homebrew devices being illegal etc).
A fairly simple lo-tech way would be to stop perverts looking at porn by removing the sight of convicted paedophiles. This prevents the convicted ones reoffending and provides a significant dis-incentive for the others. You could either do this permanently ala the middle ages (with a hot poker in the eye), or with some high tech medical procedure (detach the optical nerve under general anaesthetic, possibly reversable after a sentance has been served), or ironically, by strapping black boxes over their heads.
Couldn't agree more. It is very difficult to just browse through looking for something you might like. There are only very catchall categories, more sub-categories should be introduced - for example Games - Strategy - Turn Based - Squad Tactics.
For a company who is held up as a design and ease of use hero iTunes is really difficult to find anything other than what they are shovelling at you as featured or if you know about it already. I was browsing books in iTunes on my laptop today and all the book titles we truncated because they were too long to fit above the little icons. How about displaying them as a list?!
Absolutely - I've recently used Java 7 and java.nio to write a demon that watched for new files in a directory - using WatchDir it was very simple allowing me to spend my time coding what to do with the files when they appeared.
Erm... the War of 1812, the British Army burnt down the White House in 1814 and occupied Washington. They probably don't teach you that one in school.
Long live the "special relationship"!

Congratulations Julian and Valgrind!
As the ac says this is a great and valuable tool.
Your code might compile and run, but it might also be full of memory bugs just waiting to crash your program as soon as a user gets hold of it. valgrind will find those holes.
The first memory checking tool I used was insure++ by Parasoft, which, once I realised it's usefulness to debug problems users had encountered, I made it part of the development process and used it in tests to fix the code before it went out. An Insure++ licence is expensive (OK if you can get work to buy one) so
I was looking for some OS solution. I had been diassapointed by things like electric fence until I found out about valgrind. (Purify, mentioned in the interview is a similar tool from Rational).
The only negative thing about valgrind is that it works only on ix86, but that is because, as the interview says, it is emulating. If it worked on PPC it would be great but that isn't going to happen. But I don't think it is necessarily a bad thing to write code that will run on Linux as well as your target!
The CLI output from valgrind may look rather confusing at first. But if you are a developer you are probably used to tuning into compiler-speak language to "decode" the errors and warnings out of gcc. valgrind now has a GUI frontend call alleyoop (on sourceforge), although personally I don't use that.
You don't even have to compile with -g or even have to source to run valgrind and have it find memory errors.
valgrind is worthy of an award! Make it part of your toolkit for development and improve the quality of your code. valgrind can improve the quality of our OS code we release. I've used so much Windows software, especially games, that are riddled with memory leaks and bugs, because the developers don't buy Insure++ or Purify. On linux we are lucky, we have valgrind.
You have landed on the Moon.
You are surrounded by dusty craters, all alike.
What do you want to do?
# get weapons of mass distruction
I'm sorry George, I see no weapons of mass destruction here.
What do you want to do?
# look osama
I'm sorry George, I cannot see a osama.
You are surrounded by dusty craters, all alike.
What do you want to do?
# kill saddam
George, I cannot kill saddam.
What do you want to do?
# GODDAMITT!!!
I don't understand "GODDAMMIT!!!"
As well as some 251 odd pokémon with the evolutionary levels you mention there are
also the different pokemon types (fire, water etc)
if you need to split things up by role.
At home I have metapod (an upgraded caterpie)
whose linux boot gives kakuna, and a cubone.
Plenty of nice login pictures for download too..

No I thought that too.

I hope 45 South doesn't transmit pron cause it's Not Safe for Wok.
More likely a lunar detainment and "rendition" centre far from snooping eyes and pesky UN rules and human rights lawyers.
When they catch the mutant chicken and cut it open it will be full of...
GARLIC BUTTER!!!

Based on the incredible revelation that C is no longer viable we shall be starting a new project, RUBIX: re-write the Linux kernel in Ruby.
'Course, we won't release anything on SourceForge 'till it works... rule #1.
