    A "rim job" is a slang term for man-on-man anilingus -- licking/sucking/tonguing another dude's asshole. ass-to-mouth is funnier than taking a shit on a toilet, unless explosive diarrhea is also involved (a2m + diarrhea beats that, though).

    Nope, you needed to use apple's (gcc) compiler but you could still develop with bash and vi if you wanted to.

    Xcode 4 is a fairly decent improvement (unless you don't like one window for everything, integrated Interface Builder... although you can still have multiple windows). I swear, though, every upgrade makes the documentation harder and harder to use, though.

    I also got an email from Joel Spolsky. Weird thing was, I didn't email him first. He wondered if i liked bears (what kind of question is that?), what I was wearing, and invited me to be his "private intern" (not sure what that meant either).

    Awesome! I spent all last year, 12 hours a day, working on my app. It's not done yet, but that's not really the point. I haven't received my $438,000 check yet, where is it?

    It's true. For example, I can look at the linux source code today. I can look at the darwin source code today. But if I want to look at the QNX source code, I need to develop a time machine so I can go back in time, back before RIM cut off access to it. (Might as well go back before QNX required you to submit 10 pages of paperwork and a DNA sample as well).

    They're using WebKit (the leading mobile browser) since it's LGPL. They're also using QNX, which, while not exactly open source, was shared source. Key word: was. RIM (as in rim job) closed it up after buying QNX.

    My credit union (the nearest office is 3,000 miles away from me -- I avoided changing banks when I moved) refunds ATM fees. Not that I've ever needed it; all the ATM machines at the local credit unions and the local grocery stores are in a network so I've never once paid a fee.

    Let me mention speedqueen. They're usually associated with laundromats (consider the abuse those machines get!) but they make washers and dryers for the home market as well. I bought a set last year (I was expecting them to be a lot more expensive than they were) and expect them to last. Oh, and they're made in the US - Wisconsin to be exact. Maybe that's why they're not cheap shit.

    The C standard doesn't specify sizes but requires that

    sizeof(long) >= sizeof(int) >= sizeof(short) >= sizeof(char)

    so if a char is 32-bit, a short must be 32-bit (or more) as well. C-99's <stdint.h>, requires typedefs (eg, uint8_t, int8_t) for 8, 16, and 32-bit signed and unsigned integers.
