  1. Re:Turn yourself in? on Microsoft Offers A Bounty On Virus Writers · · Score: 1

    Erm... ^^;;

    #include

    int main() {
    printf("0x2B = 0x%X\n", 0x2B);
    printf("!0x2B = 0x%X\n", !0x2B);
    printf("0x2B | !0x2B = 0x%X\n", (0x2B | (!0x2B)));
    return 0;
    }

    0x2B = 0x2B
    !0x2B = 0x0
    0x2B | !0x2B = 0x2B

    So... everything that is ! 0x2B is zero.

    I think we just uncovered the answer to a great philosophical question - what is to be is to be, what is not to be is nothing.

    That makes so much sense on so many levels...

    */me goes off in a maze of philosophical thought*

    WTF?

    0x2B = 00101011
    !0x2B = 11010100

    00101011 | 11010100 = 11111111 = 0xFF

    Dude, it's a statement, not an expression - you can't assign a value to "0x2B | !0x2B", just like "1 + 1 = 2" is an invalid expression because you can't assign a value to "1 + 1"

    printf("0x2B | !0x2B = 0x%X\n", 0x2B | !0x2B);

    Although I forget whether %X is the correct thing for upper hex or not, but that's *about* right

  10. Re:Mozilla is a development platform... on Branding Mozilla: Towards Mozilla 2.0 · · Score: 1

    Mozilla is much like java in that it's a root word for many things, but nothing specific in itself - there's the mozilla XUL/CSS/Javascript development platform, the mozilla browser, the mozilla mail, the mozilla calentar etc. "Mozilla" simply means whatever sub-section people are talking about at the time.

    *scrolls the mousewheel* - yup, mozilla's mouse scroll works fine, so does IE's. The only difference is that IE's is smooth & slow, Mozilla's is direct & fast.

  12. I wouldn't mind a hardware change on AI Sues for Its Life in Mock Trial · · Score: 1

    I for one would be glad if someone could take my intelligence, temporarily store it somewhere, and upgrade my hardware while I'm gone. Surely a computer that's already into being one with hardware and whatnot would actively *ask* for better harware as it comes out?

  13. What's wrong with the GIMP's UI? on GIMP goes SVG · · Score: 1

    Everyone says that the GIMP's GUI is horrible, but I've used both the GIMP (linux) and photoshop (OSX). The only difference I can see is that phososhop's menu is in the mac's menu location, and the GIMP's is right-click. (Personally I prefer the right click). So what's the massive difference that I haven't noticed?
