Wait... what? I've got WPA encryption on my network. The user experience was: OS X told me that the network required a password and prompted me to enter it. I entered it. And presto, I was hooked up to the network. Where exactly is the "hell" part?
The hell is actually WPA+AES. I couldn't find a way to support it at all. TiVo, the 360, the Wii, and my PCs all had no problem connecting with WPA+AES. The mac couldn't.
Maybe good for ideas, but not good for actual talent. There were two posts on coding horror that made me realize that a majority of his commenters are idiots.
The first was the one about "missing megabytes" due to powers of two versus powers of ten. The second was the one on salting password hashes. Some of the comments were from people who had obviously appeared in the DailyWTF multiple times.
I'll add one more: no stupid Microsoft-ish riddles.
But they're so much fun to ponder in a non-riddle context.
"Why does a farmer have a wolf? How can a 5lb chicken eat a 50lb bag of grain? How is he able to prevent the wolf from eating the chicken when he's present?"
Black holes don't suck. They just have really really high gravity because of the huge amount of mass.
If I took a spoon, and somehow crushed it down to a singularity, I'd have a black hole with the same amount of mass and gravity as the spoon did. You could hold it in your hand.
I know you jest, but don't forget there are lots of other workers that had no jobs as well. Stage hands, drivers, etc etc.... Pretty much normal people.
Oh boo hoo, they chose not to work. They get no sympathy from me.
Question: How many people here had an original 8-bit Nintendo and had problems with it after awhile?
I still have my original NES. The one I got in 86. It still works great. The carts would sometimes get grimey and need to be cleaned (or blown on if you don't know what you're doing).. but other than that, it's 22 years old and still works.
It's not.. what he means is by doing a cast you're telling the compiler "I know what I'm doing". The result is the compiler won't spit out warnings that it might've otherwise.
And the difference between a tab and a curly brace semantically is exactly what?
One is visible. One isn't. One is unmistakable, the other can be confused with spaces.
My biggest problem with python is having a large group of nested "if" statements. It is extremely difficult to eyeball which "else" belong to which "if". At least with braces I can use "%" in vi to walk through the structure of my code, seeing exactly which else belongs to which if.

No. The test got screwed up. Everything fails that second one. Including FF3 and Safari 3.
Why is celsius more sane? The freezing and boiling points of water aren't fixed.
The original fahrenheit scale was a base 12 scale, which divides evenly by many numbers. Same reason there are 24 hours in a day.
If you want to talk about "sane", use Kelvin. A negative temperature isn't sane.
That was actually 13 years ago. My how time flies, eh?
The hell is actually WPA+AES. I couldn't find a way to support it at all. TiVo, the 360, the Wii, and my PCs all had no problem connecting with WPA+AES. The mac couldn't.
I ended up having to switch to WPA+TKIP.
You mean like Gecko?

They do. Remember from the trial, Apple was NOT considered competition because Macs aren't PCs. Apple does indeed have a monopoly selling Mac OSes.
If you have a large Fairplay AAC collection you are stuck to one make of music player.
Jog dial on a video editor. Everything that has a volume knob. The radio in my car. All TVs before remote controls.

A 64bit AMD is the only way to get SSE3. So even in 32 bit mode, the machine benefits from its architecture.
Those DTDs are getting 130 million requests per day. 50,000 slashdotters are a drop in the bucket.
It's only original if you've never watched Buffy. RTD is infamous for ripping off Wheadon.
That had little to do with the unions and more to do with labor laws.
Only 12% of working americans are members of a union. Are you saying that work for 88% of america "sucks royally"?
Oh boo hoo, they chose not to work. They get no sympathy from me.
Sure it is. You just mindlessly follow your union leadership. No decisions necessary.
That's such a stupid quote.. and I blame jwz for it. How much time did you spend writing that post? How much did writing that post cost you?
If jwz would shut the hell up, how much money would he save?
Not every one. You can still get Tiger. We have to, Quark doesn't work on Leopard.

No.. Apple want 4% for downloads, they think STREAMING should be 0%.
Not really. It meant that there wasn't much truth to swallow.. you'd only need a grain of salt to season it. Still applicable today.
It's not.. what he means is by doing a cast you're telling the compiler "I know what I'm doing". The result is the compiler won't spit out warnings that it might've otherwise.
Nonsense. The braces go at the beginning and end of a block. This is opposed to multiple tabs go at the beginning of every line.
Besides, I thought Guido made it perfectly clear, spaces, not tabs.
One is visible. One isn't. One is unmistakable, the other can be confused with spaces.
