Your first and second example would compile to the exact same machine language. With the thousands of people who could have done this hack, I doubt that the machine language would fingerprint them enough to catch them.
Don't forget about OS/400. OS/400 is still popular. (No, OS/400 has nothing to do with UNIX or Windows; it was an object-oriented operating system designed in the early 90's which could emulate an OS/390 mainframe.)
"As much as i would love to support the search for life in the galaxy sometimes its not a good idea. Although i do think that as humans we should try to search any money we put into a project like this is as good as gone and in finacial hard times like this we cant afford to throw around much."
Yes, but think about where the money is going. We're not throwing it into the wind or giving it to another country. It's going to our own citizens to work on this project. It's creating jobs for people and reducing the unemployment rate -- it's not "lost".
Hmmm... I did this with Hotmail and I started getting spam after a week. The only way that this could have happened (besides MS selling the addresses) was a very, very extensive dictionary attack (and that e-mail address was much more random than most people's passwords.) Given that Hotmail is such a huge service, common word-three digit number-common word may have been something that spammers guess.
There is a such thing as this "pseudo sound output device" that you're talking about -- in fact, your sound card probably supports it. Go into the sound recording properties and look for a device called "wave" or "what-you-hear." Then, by opening your sound recorder, you can make a perfect digital copy of the sound output.
However, you are right about Paladium - in fact, this is already happening too!! When Media Player is playing protected content, output to any "unsigned" driver is ALREADY DISABLED! The only sound drivers that will work when the DRM features are activated are the ones written by Microsoft -- and these drivers disable any way of making a digital copy. So, even if there was a 3rd party driver that wrote to disk, it wouldn't work because of the DRM!
ROFL!!!! 2,000 miles? The distance from Washington, DC to Las Vegas? That post made me laugh harder than I've laughed in a couple days. Even though you probably just made a typo, I couldn't have made a funner post if I had tried.
I have a Sony Ericsson T300 from T-Mobile. You're right about the T-Zones online e-mail features being online useless. (The online AIM is even worse -- did you ever try to have a conversation where it takes you over a minute to send a two-word reply through T-Mobile's horrible interface?) However, the phone has a built-in email client that will connect without going through T-Mobile's menus. You can connect through a dial-up connection. (You can't define your own login script though, so it might not work.) You can also use the T-Zones connection to connect directly to your POP/SMTP server.
LOL... I remember that happening to me. I seem to remember finishing that page long after everyone else and was behind for the first few minutes of the test.
If it wasn't modded up to 4, I wouldn't have seen it. Also, if the person hadn't posted it as AC, the article would have been modded up less because it's unfair to give someone +4 karma when they put no effort into their post.
Turn to page 178 of your Introduction to Algorithms book (if it's the 2001 edition) and tell me what you think of it... (the proof that the lower bound of any deterministic or randomized sort is omega(n lg n) )
I don't think Wing Commander 3 sold any 386's -- the game required at least a 50 MHz 486 to play, and it looked much better with a faster CPU than that. Maybe it sold a lot of Pentiums.

"Can calc.exe add two pairs of hex octets?"
Yes.

Wow -- the chassis was actually connected to the hot end of one of the phases? That would suck.

A 2.66 MHz P4? I imagine that one of those would be tough to beat!
How many people out there use java in their web based apps that interface with a database server backend?
Me
What platforms do you use for development?
Win32
What Dbs do you use?
DB2
What web server?
WebSphere Application Server
Why?
That's what my company has.
Actually, the phrase was coined by Bob Metcalfe (see http://slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=99/06/21/126233 &mode=thread&tid=106 )
What are you talking about? 800x600 for what?
I think T-Mobile offers the T68i for bluetooth. T-Mobile offers the T300 for sure (an infrared phone.) It works great for data.

My Linux box is a real POS; I would be glad to sell it to you for $400!
The parent comment was a "troll" (see http://slashdot.org/comments.pl?sid=67190&cid=6169 453 .) It's interesting to see who got modded up though :)

Which IBM site do you work at?

The 1000 ft. can't be correct. Anyone can buy an aviation GPS unit, and they would work at any altitude.
The worst-case time for any of these algorithms is still O(n log n)

He used his karma bonus; he wasn't modded up. Idiot.
The Z80 is still being used in calculators made by TI. (The TI-82,TI-83,TI-85, and TI-86 are some of them)
