Who actually has a monitor capable of such a high resolution?
*raises hand*
and so does anyhow who bought the 3007wfp on sale during recent dell days... Oblivion at native res is only about 30fps... would prefer to quad it up for a decent 100+ fps
So what do I do when someone asks me about it or wants to learn about it? I give them a whole bunch of useful e-books and related reading materal on CD and tell them to start by taking a bite out of that.
I tell people to RTFM because often I don't even know... nor do I care... so why should I go figure it out, if they're perfectly smart enough to figure it out on their own?
People get lazy and rely on the computer guy to go figure out things for them... they leverage his ego by telling him he's smarter.
BS. They're just lazy and exploiting you. That's the difference between Linux/Windows users. Linux guys are just smarter enough to realize they're being taken for a ride.

It's up to the programmer to optimize the code... the compiler isn't psychic! if it were... we wouldn't need programmers anymore.
you can use threads and signals to do things in parallel and start them in any order you wish if you wanted to.

Reasons to use linux:
-ethics
no more stealing, plus contribution to software used by third world countries. also, the software on linux itself tends to be more ethical... no ads, no pop-ups, no secret data collection, etc.

lots of weird things to explore and play around with

no more, closed bugs that MS has decided not to fix want to build your own packets? go for it! found a bug critical to your business operation? fix it! boom done.

Among Bombacaceae, the most famous economically important fruit hair has been harvested from Ceiba pentandra, the kapok or silk-cotton tree. Probably few people in California have ever heard of kapok, a towering emergent of lowland neotropical forests, often reaching fifty meters in height and forming enormous, flaring root buttresses that prevent the tree from snapping at the base. Unlike cotton, kapok cannot be woven into cloth, but formerly it was widely used for stuffing pillows, bases and balls for baseball and softball, mattresses, and, especially, life jackets. In fact, during World War II, a U.S. sailor would commonly refer to his life jacket as a "kapok." Since the war, however, synthetic fibers have replaced kapok for these traditional uses. quoted from: http://www.botgard.ucla.edu/html/MEMBGNewsletter/V olume2number1/Bombacaceae.html
If you comment your code too well, you become replacable.
If you comment your version, and strip them out (maybe strip every other comment?) you become more of an asset since you will be the only guy that knows how your code works.
Sad to resort to these tactics, but it's also sad that your boss will fire you in a whim if he can replace you with a $10/hour new grad.
This is your heavy artillery, for when your opponent is obviously right and you are spectacularly wrong. Bring Hitler up subtly. Say: "That sounds suspiciously like something Adolf Hitler might say" or "You certainly do remind me of Adolf Hitler."
so in your arguement there i saw you say: I could go on. (The potential argument is pathetically blurry and compare amateurs like Stalin and Hitler with tens of millions dying from spontaneous abortions... every year.)
so this means that your opponent is obviously correct, and you've resorted to incoherence rather than forfeit!

Cotton tree eh?

Well if you like being naked!

you meant.. the cotton plant

since you were wrong on that point, your ethos has suffered and your arguement is mute.
What about octal dual-core opteron servers?

with 96 CPUs (yes that's a nine followed by a six)

and a petabyte of disk space...
all fitting under your desk..
I think that might need quite a bit of power
all for a nice $20k. pretty good bang for your buck wouldn't you say?

time to code a UDP based webserver since if they disable the tcp/ip stack, i suspect demand for udp services will go up... ;)

thank you whitenoise labs (www.whitenoiselabs.com), with their newly patented one time pad stream cipher....
guess you won't be running out of key length any time soon
