And if you don't go the C compatibility route, wouldn't it make more sense to throw an exception when trying to treat a non-boolean like a boolean instead of saying "everything but boolean true is false"?
No, it would make sense to treat nonzero integers as true, which is what C does.
I thought there would have been a Slashdot comment, but I didn't pay attention. I agree that it would have been appropriate, so maybe Ritchie was indeed short-changed here.
It's a few days after Ritchie died, but he died a few days before it became public knowledge. That story seems to be dated roughly when it became public knowledge.
The guys at CSI have been using this to get faces from dirt particle reflections for decades. I know Slashdot submissions are old, but this is ridiculous.
Those men made technology cool. If it were not for them, there were would be near infinitely less hot blondes that needed their computer fixed. Consider that:)
So my life would be a lot less sexually frustrating?
Yeah, that'll be popular. How long do you think it would take for countries without those languages as their native ones to get resentful, and the EU to break up a la First Reich?
There would still be a million different languages. As much as some might want to ignore that, it's a massive barrier to very close European union. Until there is a 'European' language, it aint gonna happen. Different countries must, and will, maintain their sovereignty.

Hallowe'en is short for "All-Hallows-Even", ie. the evening before All Hallows Day.
The version without the apostrophe is a variant.
If money is speech, why are you not free to donate it to Wikileaks?
Of course. I trust the Tea Party to protect me and my liberty and Fox News to deliver me quality, unbiased reporting. At least I know I'm free.
Question is, how do we change this?

How about a way of being vegetarian whilst eating tasty meat?
Shit, you think Slashdot has a fucking profanity filter??

Taxing people more who live in excess is a good thing. But the trick is to figure out who is living in excess and who isn't
Anyone who can afford to pay a lobbyist to go to Washington D.C. is living in excess.
The War On Drugs *alone* makes Nixon the worst president of the US, ever.
Oh right; that would explain this cover, then.

-50F is about -45C.
An alternative to that is tagging the e-mails with the project name, I guess, but that's conceptually similar to putting them in a separate folder.

^ That was the post. This text gets around Slashdot's lame lameness filter. Please ignore it.
That hwil hwheaton sounds like a nice guy. People shouldn't be so nasty to hwil hwheaton.
Nice try. Newegg don't ship outside the USA.
This is an important point which is often overlooked in technology discussion forums such as this one.
Or maybe geeks know full fucking well what 'normal people want', and they simply don't want the same thing?

And yes, they do say free speech is a privilege GRANTED BY THE FUCKING STATE -- and not an inborn, inalienable right.
What bullshit.
The very fact that free speech needs to be *defended* would seem to be rather strong evidence that there is nothing 'inalienable' about this right.

I would, but because my Kindle is a touchscreen, I have no mouse cursor to hover over the image.
OK, that was GONNA be right if Slashdot got into the 19th century and supported UTF8. :-P
Don't you mean "Apprenez à lire le français"?
