I was writing a malloc routine, on the PC, and it was like
bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep-bleep.
And then, like half of my malloc was under the GPL. And I was like... huh?
It devoured my malloc. It was a really good malloc.
And then I had to write it again, and I had to do it in Greek letters,
so it wasn't as good.
It's kind of... a bummer.
The point is of course that they are both fruit, wherefore one would think that they are comparable. Yet, they are very different in nature and cannot be compared.
It's probably just because of the demand for live concerts. Back in the not so old days, they all used playback. Now they're forced to sing live. How do you do that, while dancing aroud the stage, without missing a few notes?
I wonder why they've written comments in English using the Greek alphabet. Check it yourself; the "Greek" text says:
As part of the kernel evolution toward modular naming, the
functions malloc and mfree are being renamed to rmalloc and rmfree. Compatibility will be maintained by the following assembler code: (also see mfree/rmfree below)
It gets worse. You are counting words, but what is a word? For example: if you put fire and man together, do you get fire man, fire-man or fireman? Which of these is a word? How about car wash, car-wash and carwash? I've seen all three variants on the same web page. Does any one of them go into the dictionary?
This is an even bigger problem in the other germanic languages (German, Swedish, Icelandic, etc.), because they always write compounds like these together. Thus, there are literally (yes!) infinite combinations. A compound like "mobile phone company meeting" is "mobiltelefonföretagsmöte" in Swedish. Does that word go into the dictionary? It's perfectly valid, even though it's never been used before.
The solution is of course to draw the line somewhere, say, at a certain degree of usability and popularity.
Opera is so much faster on my system. It is also much more strict when it comes to rendering pages, making flaws and bad sgml/xml stand out. Very good when you're writing your own web pages; not so good when you're visiting others'.
Oh, and I really like the ability to easily apply your own style sheets on the fly in Opera, making those pages using green text on orange background readable.
Both have popupblockers and good cookie control.
Did I mention Opera is much faster than Mozilla?:-) (Yeah, I know it's flamebait, but come use my system for an hour and you'll see what I mean.)
How is that possible? We already now no-one reads the articles - so how can the site become slashdotted? Maybe people just open the link in a new window and press reload a couple of times?

Maybe it was posted by this guy.
What is it good for?
Absolutely nothing!
Learn to sing in tune, please.

Wow, so that's what it was up to last week!
Well, I for one welcome our new autoupdating overlords!

What kind of RIAA math is this?
Savannah (the GNU equivalent of Sourceforge) also carries a lot of near-dead projects.
Savannah, where GNUs go to die...?
With all respect, sir, your math is wrong. In fact, what you have is the infinite length product of a finite number of words.
Whose limit of course approaches infinity for all NUM_WORDS>1. QED.

Well, my mental age exceeds my Slashdot ID. I think this movie might be to flashy for me.
You're welcome. But make that beer ink in stead ;-)

Don't use soap? Yup, you're a nerd alright.
