I doubt it was his fault. I see posts mispaced by slashdot more and more frequently. It happened to a couple of mine, and got me modded off-topic for my effort.
Yes, I have work on many such systems. How does that change the fact that 1) NULL pointers are not necessarily 0, and 2) referencing a NULL pointer in C invokes undefined behavior?
No, 0 is a null pointer which is not necessarily internally represented by all bits zero. There is no standard way in C to access address 0. The behavior is not implementation specific, so studying your linker, OS, et. al., is a waste of time. It is undefined behavior, and thus the compiler may do anything with it and that behavior does not have to be documented, nor even consistant. Studying such code is simply a waste of time since such a question is nonsense.
I don't belive security tapes are kept that long. Usually they are kept no longer than a month, and most places I know rotate and reuse tapes on alternating weeks.
What if I buy a printer at, say, Staples, buy cash and do not send in the registration? How can they track me then? I think the worse that would happen is they would know that two particular documents originated from the same printer.
You cannot just "go for" the highest clearence you want. There has to be a need for it. And you will lose it after there is no longer a need for you to have it.
Frankly, I think you pulled all that out of your butt, and have absolutely no knowledge or proof of how they are organized. They get VERY upset with the "playful fools" as you call them. And thinking that people who know its a scam and play with them prove "free advertising" is illogical to the point of being ludicrous.
Nothing personal. I just don't believe these scams are being perpetrated by organized crime, regards of all the comments on Slashdot saying so. I don't bait them myself as I consider them a waste of my time. But I find it enjoyable to read site of people who do. If the email transactions are to be believe, these people are quite gullable.
I do, though, believe that if less people were afraid of these types of scum, there would be less of them. Now, the guy that just going out looking to confront them physically and alone, and disappears wasn't too bright either. Any two-bit punk can pull a trigger and kill you. But for every story you tell about a victim, there is another such as the little old lady who knocked her would be assailant senseless with her purse. The purdent thing don't always have to match the cowardly one.
Yes, we have police and they have a tough job. I don't advicate vigilantism, but citizens need to take let passive roles than "let the police deal with it." Neighborhood Watch is a good example of helping the police protect us.
Oh yes, the old anecdotal "proof" of nothing. Playing with ME AND MINE is not safe. If less people were cowarding from criminals we would probably have less of them.
If you think they are not stupid, then you apparently never dealt with one. They are so stupid and greedy to get your money, you can get them you send you all sorts of "documents" via certified mail , costing them a lot of money. People have stringed them along for weeks. They are not organized criminals by any stretch of the term. They are uneducated low-lifes trying to make a buck. Real criminals wouldn't waste their time and money this way.
No, there is no "typeof" but have you seen the proposed "typedecl" and the new uses for "auto"? Nice stuff. These are to be in the new standard. My main complaint is the need to use "typename" and "template" for disambiguating inside templates. Very confusing sometimes.

A-freakin'-men!
You can have your religion, just leave me the frig alone!!
I'm using 5. Did you do anything special to get it to work?
I love SUSE. I just wish I could get it to work with VMWare. Redhat works great, but SUSE (for me) crashes during installation.
I love being able to be working in Windows, and just "pop up" Linux when I want it without rebooting.

I spend over $200 a month in gas (but I drive 160 miles a day, round trip, to work and back).

According to the C Standard, it invokes undefined behavior. So, answer is anything the compiler wants it to do.
How much is a metric assload converted to English units?

Glad you said so. I posted the same thing and got modded a frickin' troll.
Story? This isn't a new article. It is an opinion piece. Can't the submitter read, or is he just trying to generate more controversy?
Shouldn't we do some sort of poll first?
Hmmm, well it does seem "mostly harmless."
What no polygraph? no rectal exam? You are correct: it's not that exciting :)

Good times...
Yes, I use to get a few dozen calls a day before my state started its own list. Now, I get about one a week.
Why did this get modded off topic? I think its quite relevant.
