You're right. Both are examples of phenominally bad code. Any statement can be used poorly. I think the point that was being made is that there is no way to not use goto badly. The only reason that goto even exists is to be a shortcut around bad code design.
If you can't do it without a goto, then maybe you should go over your design again and look for a better way.
Just my opinion. I could be wrong. I doubt it, though.
People are all up in arms because "Linux is excluded." Big deal. Imagine for a moment that you are blind. (If your imagination isn't that good try the following command:
$lynx http://fox.com
Try to get some usable content from the resulting screen.
THAT is the real tragedy here.
It's late (early?), I'll shut up and go to bed now.
How in the world did you manage to stumble over RMS Linux? Yes, the direct URL worked, but I couldn't find a way to get there from starting at the main page.
Isn't debian already 100% Free?... I kind of wonder what the point is since there already is a distro that does this.
I think that the point is because Red Hat is different from Debian. For myself, I happen to have started using RedHat (the Mother's Day release) long before I new there was a Debian. I like it, I'm used to it. Debian neither is, nor ever will be RPM based. If I wanted to switch to a 100% (FSF) Free GNU/Linux distribution, Debian would not be an option in my mind because I really like the way RPM does things, it's got me spoiled. Mind you, I'm not saying that Debian doesn't have an excellent package manager, I just happen to like RPM and want to stick with it.
Can I use the V-Chip to block out everything that is BELOW a certain rating -- Y, Y7, etc.? If the V-Chip can guarantee that I will never stumble over Barney or Pokemon it can't be all bad.:-)
I've read most of the series on Ticket Booth Tyranny and I think I may have a different solution to the problem. It seems to me that the effectiveness of civil disobedience has declined in the last several years, so maybe it's time for a new tactic>
Vote with your feet.
Sure, having a "Sneak a Geek Day" sounds like a nice idea, but look at what you're doing -- you're putting more money into the theatre owner's pockets. That's no way to change policy. Instead, I propose shutting down the entire movie theatre industry for a day. See how many people you can get to NOT go to a movie theatre. After all, the movie studios know that the really big money is in home video releases -- why do you think that theatre engagements keep getting shorter and shorter?
If you want to change the mind of the theatre owners, don't add to their coffers. Hit them where they live -- in the wallet.
That's just my opinion.

I just checked on LinuxHQ and there is a reference at the bottom of the page to a COPYING file. It states that, unless otherwise noted (and I didn't see any other notices), the material is covered by GNU GPL. There is even a copy of the GPL on the copying page. Did I miss something?

How are they ever going to collect royalties on the gold record when it is played by extraterrestrials or copied by them?
Yeah, let's go back to UUCP and map files!
Remember when you didn't have a domain name, you had a host name -- and it had to be unique in the first 6 characters?
A lot of people seem to think that "Hannibal" is the second movie in the series started by "Silence of the Lambs." This is not true.
The first movie in the series was "Manhunter" starring William Petersen (late of "C.S.I." on CBS) with Brian Cox playing Dr. Hannibal Lecter
Just a minor point that I thought needed to be brought up.
Like will this new update mean that Quake3 might finally run as well on my box as Unreal Tounament does?

Just my two cents.
"n-word".com may be taken, but "n-word.com",
"n-word.org" and "n-word.net" are all up for
grabs -- as are "f-word.net" and "f-word.org".
