If they ask why I'm using my own bubble sort instead of calling the standard qsort() routine, they're senior developer/analyst material.
Or maybe they understand why you'd use bubble sort in some situations. Like when n is small and the function call overhead (qsort calls your comparison routine) is more expensive than a direct comparison, and a generic move is more expensive than a move specific to your type. For example sorting a handful of integers.
The dogma of second year CS students is nlogn is better than n^2, but the good students know that profiling beats dogma.
One of my bosses insisted that he had to have the Administrator password for his desktop... incase I'm not around when he wants to install some new (mal)ware. So I set up administrator on that machine with a red flashing desktop (and IE and firefox start pages) saying to only use that account for administration tasks. Now whenever I go into his office I see that red desktop with ie and outlook open.
1) QT doesn't suck 2) QT is GPL'd, not LGPL'd, so whoever wishes to use it in closed-source software must buy a license to do so. This means TrolTech can afford to continue developing it full time, while still getting it well-used in open-source projects. 3) The commercial license is very affordable. 4) QT is very cross-platform. 5) QT is very full featured, but still fast and light. 6) QT includes a very nice GUI designer.
Most designs for perpetual motion machines fail because they're designed to allow you to perpetually extract energy from them, not store energy forever. Sure, a flywheel in intergalactic space could rotate indefinitely, but the moment you try to extract energy it can't anymore. Kinda makes it useless.
It pisses me off when people jump to conclusions without hearing all the facts.
It pisses me of when Americans confuse Democrats with liberals. Ralph Nader and Jack Layton are liberals; John Kerry and Paul Martin are just less right-wing than George Bush and Stephen Harper.
The pentagon has repeatedly said that they've missed their recruitment target. A draft does not nescesarily mean they draft EVERY eligible person, just enough to top up to their target. The fact that they've missed their target means that they have the money. Draftees cost the same to train & equip as volunteers. They may even cost less if you don't have to pay 40 hours each of recruiter time.
Why not just MP4? seems pretty simple to just put a link (or better, torrent) to each story, then we can archive it in an open format and never worry about whether our software will work for these historic documents 20 years down the road.
Patents don't work like that. It doesn't matter if a competitor knows how your patented thing works, it only matters if they make something that works the same way.
I just (less than an hour ago) got harassed for taking pictures of a construction site. They're building a convention centre, but haven't even put up a fence all the way around yet, let alone begun demolition of the old buildings.
This was in Canada. Although I was harassed by a construction worker, not any public official/agent.

Try giving them a copy of the book.

With that many flash ads I'm suprised that's all it takes. That is one BADLY designed site.
Have you ever used KDE 3.X?

Spyware tends not to fly in GPL'd projects.
You don't have to use the whole brick. I imagine about an ounce in direct contact with the drive enclosure ought to do the trick.
I think the grandparent poster ment something like "why does a church have 90+ workstations"?
I assumed by church, you ment more like Hope Lutheran Church (one of many) than the Evangelical Lutheran Church in Canada, or The Church. Even for a large congregation, 90 sounds like a lot of computers.
The HR people have a checklist of skills (or worse, certifications and buzzwords) but don't actually know what the job requires.

You haven't read the article, have you? Both of these exist, they just have to be really cold to work, which requires energy to maintain.

Actually, it's because people fought the system
Except here. Here we just convinced Queen Victoria that responsible government was better than losing part of her realm.
or have an "opted out" field. Takes a whole lot less space, time and effort.

A "Brand New Holga 120CFN lomo toy camera" is not an 8x10 view camera
Probably figured you'd be to drugged up to put it in the mail after un-installing your kidney.

What if I want to dig a hole? I should just dig and hope I don't cut off power/water/phone service to the whole neighbourhood?
