I just see this as an extension to the whole "extreme programming" idea of "code something, anything, until you get the output you want for your test cases, then stop coding".
Or... write test cases and then run an genetic algorithm until the right code is generated:)
Of course, you'd need to write a whole lot of test cases, it would probably be easier to write the actual function yourself.
In the article the author mentioned that the flags toggled by the -O options were unknown.
I know that the listings in the manual are fairly accurate, not perfect though. If you want to know exactly what flags are activated when you compile you use the -Q flag (undocumented, AFAIK;)) and the -v flag to see the information.
I run PHP5 on one of my developer boxes(I should install it on the other one too, but I'm lazy), and as far as I know it's completely back-compatible(except from some new reserved keywords, but that's easy to fix). All the new features are really nice, and I have to say that I noticed a tiny gain in speed too.
There's no reason not to switch to PHP5, everyone please do it now! Writing back-compatible code is no fun, I want to use all the new and exciting OOP features.
Here's a page describing all the new features in PHP5 and the ZEND engine version 2!
Maybe *BSD died back then... but it's most surely coming back! Just take a look at the latest NetCraft survey and you'll see that they have come back a little.
I think this article confirms it. Just check where it's posted: http://undeadly.org/, doesn't that light some lights!?
One thing that I can most definatelly note is that with the use of OpenBSD, the experience was made by far simpler, and headache free. The common belief out there is that OpenBSD is best used for security gateways, firewalls, routers and etc. Well, I personally do not believe so. The capability of this OS is only admin deep. The more you know, the more you can achieve. I have personally ran OpenBSD in large enterprise environments as web servers, file servers, database servers, and frankly, it's resource management and speed is uncomparable to most other operating systems out there, multiply that with the security standards, and you've got an amazing OS.
Almost all of the growth in the online-capable console game category has occurred in the past two years. Sales of these games, which include titles for Sony Corp.'s Playstation 2, Microsoft Corp.'s X-Box and Nintendo Co. Ltd.'s GameCube, have seen the majority of sales in the shooter and sport games super genres, with sport games leading the charge. In 2002, sport games commanded 69 percent of the online-capable video games market, while the shooter genre captured 22 percent. In 2003, sport games claimed 51 percent of the market, while shooter games remained at 22 percent. However, other genres began forming the online-capable video games landscape in 2003 with racing games taking 15 percent and role playing games taking 4 percent.
50% sports games, eh? I think we should just make it half a billion from games that are played online then:)
No, I don't really like the idea of playing such games online, and I seriously doubt many indeed do. Sports games are meant to be played face to face, and possibly with some fists.
... send your old computers to me, I wouldn't mind having something to hack around on, I could install Linux/BSD(not dying!) and the people would rejoice!
I strongly think that there should be a correct address avaible for each and every domain name out there. But! I don't think letting it out to the public is a very good idea. I can think of numerous incidents where evil people obtained the addresses of targets from their domain names. It would not be good to hide this information from the police as they can surely obtain some valuable information from a registry like this:)
So, change the rules to only let the magic people that operate the internet and the law see it.
1. Run the filter on a number of posts, trolls, karmawhores, the rest,.... 2. Write a comment. 3. Run the filter on the comment, if the score is too low, try to improve it by using words that will give you more karma. Such as CowboyNeal, SCO and Micro$oft.
The law says that states may not prohibit "any entity" from getting into the phone business. That does not include political subdivisions of states, said Justice David H. Souter, writing for the court.
Damn those monster_congressman, I'll have to place some func_wall's to keep them back.
I think the article is a bit wrong: You do not pirate the big games, you pirate the good games! And most good games are big. Also, most good games are from big companies, that's true most of the time, and even if you are a small company that makes a good game, you will get a crapload of money off the sales and eventually become a big company, just look at Valve.
Valve doesn't even sell games anymore, they sell CD-keys:D
Um... with a clientside virus, what would stop them from tracking it? (and probably irc client independant as they can just read the IRC(and whatever else you use) protocol data directly)
Evil crackers like these criminals are no less clever than the rest of us, they just put their cleverness into more questionable things;)
Oh, and a question about IRC to anyone: The '/me' command, aka special CTCP action thingy... why does it use CTCP!?!?!?
An article on the MSDN that might be helpful, it details BITS, a part of the.NET Framework.
I'm not erally sure if it's helpful or not as I haven't read much of it, but I'll post a quote out of it;)
[I] have to admit, I love the Windows(R) Update feature. My computer is connected to the Internet about 85 percent of the time that it is turned on and yet, like most people, I certainly don't use the network that much. Windows XP takes advantage of this unused bandwidth by comparing the most recent service packs and hotfixes available online with those installed on my machine. If it finds I need updates, it downloads them in the background. Once completed, Windows notifies me of the arrival of new bits that need to be installed.

I feel like installing OpenBSD!
He was a great sport about it and is currently planning his pay back... :)

Seems like he chose

I'd assume that they would put their own address in there instead. It sounds legal to me.

I wonder how fast you have to read then
OK, I don't know what the hell E-Ink is
Yeah, Game Development schools are basically only good for getting contacts in the industry.

Hehe, ANN rocks

I love it
Who's to say that their information is worth anything at all... It's completely useless.
