  1. Re:Preach it brother on Computing's Lost Allure · · Score: 1
    There is absolutely nothing wrong with breaking out of for() loop. As a matter of fact the following is a fairly standard way of implementing an infinite loop in C:
    for(;;){
    /* do something and use break to terminate the loop */
    }
    Screw that. A true infinite loop doesn't have a break in it. This is the simplest way to implement an infinite loop:

    for(;;);

  3. Ellen Feiss on When Mac Freaks Congregate · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well I sucked real hard on my iBong, and it was like, puff puff puff puff puff, and like, half of my stash was gone. Bummer.

    I had to cram it into my cheek when the police pulled me over. And it wasn't as good.

  4. 40 year old Unix on Ballmer Sees Free Software as Enemy No. 1 · · Score: 1

    Ballmer and his salespeople will have a hard time convincing business clients that their networks should be moved from the 40-year-old Unix operating system to rival Windows if customers have a cheaper option, investors said. So does that mean they run their mission critical data center work on a PDP 11 in a corner somewhere?

  5. Bugbear virus on Security as a Profit Center? · · Score: 1
    Speaking of security... The "Bugbear" virus has been making the rounds lately. If you're using Outlook and/or IE, you should get patches here. It's a particulary nasty virus which:
    • uses the Iframe and MIME type vulnerabilities in IE.
    • attempts to disable your anti-virus program, if you have one.
    • starts a keylogger.
    • steals your passwords, if you're running Windows 9x/ME.
    • opens port 36794 allowing someone to mess with your system
    And if you're using an unpatched version of IE, the virus can execute itself, using IE's vulnerabilities! So if you haven't already, get patching, foo'!

    Customer: I found a real Internet Service Provider. But I can't use it because AOL keeps popping up whenever I get online!
