I caught a few reruns on cable a while back... Now, I admit i loved it when I was a child (I even had the BA action figure!), but are we supposed to believe that with all the dynamiting and gun shooting the only injury to be had is when they have to gas BA to get him on a plane?
What I haven't yet seen used anywhere outside my own software and some programming languages internals (eg. calling Perl code from C), is using data stack for temporary memory allocations. It has the most important advantage of garbage collectors; allocate memory without worrying about freeing it. It also has a few gotchas, but I'd say it's advantages are well worth it.
The way it works is simply letting the programmer define the stack frames. All memory allocated within the frame are freed at once when the frame ends. This works best with programs running in some event loop so you don't have to worry about the stack frames too much. Here's an example program:
That sounds a little like the NSAutoReleasePool in Cocoa/OpenStep. Objects use reference counting, when the count reaches 0, they deallocate themselves. When an object is created, it can get added to the most recent pool. When the pool is deleted, it decrements the reference count of all the objects within it, causing deallocation unless it needs to be kept around longer.
ok, a little offtopic, but I saw this book (Free as in Freedom: Richard Stallman's Crusade for Free Software) at a brick & morter bookstore a couple months ago, and had a quick look at it.
Interestingly enough, O'Reilly had a page devoted to the software that was used, and it sure wasn't open source (PageMaker or FrameMaker, IIRC),
i don't know, but i think this is an Open Source success. After all, many eyes make all rocks unearthed. If this had been an MS rock, it would have remained buried for who know how long!
Of course, I'm sure some of the more bleeding-edge types were bitten by this buglet, but I guess that comes with the territory; backup backup backup! I hope no Slashdotters lost any of their porn collections.
Ironically, yes. Since it only affects you when unmount a disk, and the only reason i unmounted a disk was to reboot the kernel after recompiling with the bug fix!
Oh well, it's not as if i have anything better to do than surf for porn. And my dick could use a rest from the constant masturbation.
A couple years ago, i submitted a few patches for linux bugs, a couple of which were accepted, and my name wnet into the changelogs.
I had to stop counting all the cold-call (or cold email) job offers i got from that to be a linux developer for some company or other. Of course, this was back in the go-go years, when companies spent millions of dollars on sock puppets, but i still get one or two job interview offers a month to be a "linux programmer."
i've fooled around with the mmx a little bit. for mmx-optimizable code, you can get a 2x-5x performance increase, but the generated code doesn't look as fast as hand-written mmx asm. I'd rather write a c for or while loop though:)
My understanding was that -mmmx only enable recognition for the builtin mmx functions. It doesn't automatically compile your code with mmx register usage, but it does let you #include , which gives you a C front end the the mmx instructions.
There's was an article in my sunday paper today about the war between blockers and advertisers/publishers coming up with more annoying systems (like salon requiring you to look at ads before viewing articles).

it's low-tech, but enjoyable!
I hate to break it to you, but CmdrTaco and Hemos didn't live in the Geek compound, they lived in the Greek compund, if you catch my drift...
nope, Jon Katz reported on that Afghaninistan hacker that was using a Commodore 128 and a phone line made from two can and a string.

does it cover this hole?

or smalltalk
So it's good if eiffel does it, but bad in Windows does it, right?
gnutella, eDonkey2000, DirectConnect, Kazaa, your local warez BBS, etc. etc.

Nobody gives a shit, dick-face
No, this business model actually causes a negative cashflow

SPARC is open source hardware.

No!
Since you work for a .com company with a negative cash flow, maybe you should worry about how much longer you'll have a salary?

Of course, pe was first generation, and pepper is 2nd generation, so it's a lot like comparing minix to linux :)
The online article is here
But, there will probably be updates to the abi in the future, as it has not yet been extensively tested in the real world.
So slashdot runs articles for intel development tools and advertisements for intel development tools.
At the same time.
Cmdr Taco - how do you like being a whore?
yeah, vi and emacs really set the standard for speed and ease of use.
