GCC is optimized for portability, not for performance. Some performance optimizations that are included in other compilers are not in GCC if they would break GCC code portability.
Notepad.exe is both in %WINDIR% and %WINDIR%\System32 and as the other poster pointer, it is a hard task to replace them in XP due to system file protection.
today when i opened excel it crashed because of some execption error from.NET framwork with Google Desktop. i don't know the ins and outs of what really happened but looks like MS is fighting back in usual fashion.
No, of course it is Google who choose to crash Excel as you won't need it anymore.
But your post got me to thinking... it may well be possible for the GP poster to do a Save As... foo.xls right from the DB app itself. Or there may be an add-on which would provide that capability.
FYI there is no "Save as..." menu in real databases such as Oracle/DB2/MySQL/PostgreSQL. In fact there isn't even a GUI.
The major problem is not that you have to work to unlock games. This is not new : I remember many games in the 90's where you already had this.
The major difference is that YOU NOW HAVE TO PAY TO UNLOCK the game you already bought if you want to bypass the system. Previously, there always was cheat codes that you could find on the Internet or in game magazines. Now, you have to call a costly support phone number to get unlocking codes !!!
Examples of such extortions: Colin McRae 04 (the game, not the man), TOCA...
Is there a webcam available? What is the interest of switching on the oven if you are not sure what is inside? How is a hot meal useful if it is burned because you could not switch off the oven before it's too late?
Would you let your meat for a whole day in the oven at normal temperature? A fridge feature would be useful to keep the oven content at a conservation temperature until you decide to cook it.
Well, one more time I think this is just a gadget at a price only for people who don't cook themselves.
If you think Dial-Up users don't take a few minutes to update all their software...
About Windows environments:
Most users who don't have automatic updates installed don't do updates
Many users who have automatic updates download don't install updates
I remember a few years ago that when I had to update MSIE with the dial-up connection: installing MSIE service pack would not take minutes but about 3 hours. It was not only long but also costly as pricing was time based.
Broadband is now so much widespread that magazines don't provide anymore operating system updates on CD.
But the "Automatic update install" feature appeared with SP2. In my experience, before SP2 it only automatically downloaded updates but install required a user action.
From the article: I am interested in letting many people know that Wikipedia is a flawed and irresponsible research tool.
Wikipedia is not responsible for that. You must understand that Wikipedia is not trustable and accept that. The one who trust Wikipedia as a research tool is irresponsible.
As always it is a problem of user (Wikipedia readers) education.
I won't tell you my age, but I agree, 1998 was a long time ago.
Just after playing the demo I was so amazed that I then searched it immediately on the net. I had Internet at home since 1 month at that time and 100 MB was huge at 4.5 kb/s. It was also costly, but GTA was not yet available in shops in France. This is the last game I played on DOS, and I still launch it with nostalgy.
Microsoft Midtown Madness was a hit at that time and I was eargerly waiting for a 3D GTA. Midtown Madness was interesting, but not fun. I had to wait for a long time, but DMA made my dreams become reality with GTA3.
I also bought Driv3r but, besides the technical problems (it is full of bugs), it doesn't have the same feeling. You're not so free as in GTA as the game is purely linear. And out of the main missions, you have nothing. Driving an ambulance or a taxi in San Andreas is the better way to discover the city and draw the map in your brain, and the Driv3r authors missed that.
Grab a consultant from a local small Linux shop for a few days. Someone with good knowledge about system/network architecture.

If A is "char *A", this is false. A[0] is the value of the byte in memory. &A[0] or just A is the pointer. But if A is "char **A", this is true, A[0] is a pointer to a byte in memory. And A[1] is also a pointer to a byte in memory. However probably not A[0]+1*sizeof(char).
Again, your numbers are flawed, because my old 80x25 text mode display is still drawn from individual pixels. Those pixels still have to be updated individually by the CPU (in the 10MHz days it was often the main CPU that drew every little dot). 80x25 is drawn on a 640x480 in 16 glorious colours. Now, by your argument, 640x480x2 (your 2 image argument from above) = 614,400 bytes. Therefore, your 1900x1200 screen only requires 12x as many bytes to move about but I really dont' care about those numbers because most of the work is done in the GPU now; not the main CPU.
In the PC world, the textmode was handled in hardware by the graphic card. Yes, we had already hardware accelerated display at that time. In fact is still in the latest PC video card. One byte for the character, one byte for the color attribute. So your argument doesn't apply.

Keep that in mind when benchmarking GCC.
The problem is to keep character alignment when using differents fonts/weights. Often different weights with fixed font break display.

As you think that the browser parse XML for you, it would be coherent to think that the browser parses and interpret JavaScript for you.
As you will finally process the retrieved data in the Javascript interpreter, the only comparison apply to:

No, it isn't:
So i[4] is the same as k[4] and is the same as: *(int *)((char *)k + 4 * sizeof(*k)).

Unless of course that someone writes a compiler so optimizing that the code ends before it begins
Haskell is near to that (at least nearer than most other programming languages), thanks to lazy evaluation.
I'm sure I would not hire you if you present your first solution.
