On the other hand there's a lot of C syntax that is not valid C++.
... uhm... WTF are you talking about. I've been doing dev in C for 20 years and I've yet to see one thing in C that is invalid in C++. I fully admit to not reading the actual language specification, but I call bullshit and would say your problem is with a shitty compiler that either didn't detect the problem you had in C mode or doesn't compile C++ properly.
You couldn't be more wrong. Resolution beyond the most basic of levels doesn't define how good a game looks. There are great looking NES games. A good artist can do better with better equipment, but certainly doesn't require one.
You should go work for EA or one of the other big game companies, you guys both don't get it.
Or, Amazon can pay sales takes. It has the ability to do so. This is just another example of a massive corp walking on everyone.
I personally don't give a shit what state Amazon is in, if they want to sell everywhere, they can act like it and pay taxes.
Of course, no one intelligent buys from Amazon anymore... mostly because it would appear that they don't sell shit, their affiliates do. Amazon has basically become a middle man squeezing every drop out of everyone. There business is unstainable long term. Well, thats not entirely true, there will be a continuous stream of idiots to continue to buy from them, but I suspect that is a much smaller number than they currently enjoy.
Or he could get it invalidated, have his name put on a patent, and sue everyone using it, which would be pretty much every OS on the planet at this point.
Except... what he did, and what the patent cover are two related but very different things. His requires the program be compiled against his code. IBM requires no knowledge by the program that the allocator is doing checking.
The real problem here is the submitter of the story didn't apparently bother to read the patent or is really full of shit and didn't write anything like that himself originally anyway as he'd realize two different things were going on if he had the domain specific knowledge to do what he claims he did.
My money is on him not bothering to look at the actual patent or just trying to get slashdot stirred into a frenzy.
He is infact, nothing more than a patent troll himself, just a different flavor of the same beast.
I realize slashdot's first instinct is to hate the guy with a patent, and I'll fully admit that I'm too lazy to go look, but...
To me, common sense says if they referenced your work directly in their patent, they are pretty freaking confident they have something over you.
I'm pretty sure even at the patent office that if you submitted a patent that said 'we did what this guy at this website did and we're patenting it', which is what you claim, that it wouldn't even get accepted with as bad as they are.
$500 says IBM patented something different and better than what you did, and you're just trying to get people riled up and probably extort something from IBM in the process.
That would be awesome, everyone would be sniffing magic markers while working. In my day, we got in trouble for doing it, but we could bring a pocket knife. Times have changed havent they. I'm pretty sure the entire globe has some genetic form of mental retardation going on.
When the news/media started broadcasting every freak event that happens to the entire country.
Statistically, crime hasn't really changed in 200 years, yet now we know about every major murder or kids that freak out and shoot up a school.
None of it is new, we're just being told about it anytime it happens now. This is one of those times when knowledge isn't a good thing because people are being made afraid of everything.
Then you are pretty ignorant of children. A sixth grader (normally developed one) could kill you with a trained punch, no implement needed. Pretty much any of them could if it was placed correctly.
Strength isn't really a big requirement to killing, contrary to what you might think. A well placed blow requires very little effort and strength to kill, fortunately, most 6th graders aren't trained in the arts of war.
Having been hit over the head with a chair in 5th grade however, I can assure you, they most certainly are capable of killing you with a chair, even if they can't break the leg off, its actually far more dangerous with the mass of the entire chair behind it.
Or you could just lock their machines down, which would give them basically the same experience as running Linux, except you could actually still install software they want to run for them rather than pushing them off on something completely other than what they want/need.
4th virus in a year and you haven't made him run as a user that doesn't have any rights to damage the system? Linux isn't going to save you in this case.
Most Americans don't give a shit if the military is committing atrocities
So I'm guessing you're so blinded you can't even find America on the map.
I'm not sure where you get your propaganda from, but as an American I can assure you, we care VERY MUCH. I realize I won't ever change your mind, you're just an idealistic fundamentalist yourself too blinded by your own ignorance to actually have any idea 'what America thinks'
You are right, you certainly aren't being bothered by paying attention.
Angst badger indeed. I'd have thought someone with a UID as low as yours would have grown up and not been so amazing blind by now.
I do not believe in the war on terror, its bullshit, its not effective and a waste of money. Its costing us lives because they won, and we live in terror now.
I also do not believe in leaking this data because it most certainly costs lives and those leaking the data are doing it purely for attention under the guise of informing the public.
Wikileaks may fly the flag of good intention, there are certainly some people involved that have good intentions, but its poster child doesn't and never has. Second, good intentions can still result in bad things happening. Case in point, people were told to stay in their offices in the twin towers on 9/11/01 in order to avoid crowding the streets so the emergency workers could do their jobs. That good intentioned decision cost many people their lives. Good intentions kill people just as quickly, especially when those good intentions are acts committed by those truly ignorant of the damage they cause.
I don't think the government is 'good intentioned' any more than I think the general populous of the planet is, but I do think they are FAR more qualified to know what needs to be kept out of the publics view at this point than anyone involved in Wikileaks is.
Wikileaks is infact attempting to fight its own 'War on Terror', and it is just as ignorant, pointless, and dangerous as the 'War on Terror' started in the US.
Wikileaks has always been about what gets the most attention and news headlines, never has it been about anything else.
Just because these things get bigger headlines doesn't mean they have been trying to be fair, it just means the US v* stuff will garner them the most attention.
You seriously just claimed Fox News and Aljazeera.com are a like?
How about you go through one day of your life without letting your political flag waving make you look like a fanatical idiot.
Fox News is biased. So is CNN, but you're too busy being an fanatical idiot over your blue donkey to realize that.
The fact that you're modded insightful just shows how crowdsourcing can let incredible bias slip right in.
You're an ignorant political nutjob who thinks his team of liars tells the truth and that its the other team of liars who are evil. You're too stupid to realize that you're just as brainwashed as the 'other guys' who you think are evil bastards.
You are in fact just like the idiots who think Fox news is unbiased.
I still can't believe you actually compared Fox news to a radical fundamentalist tabloid... and fucking people take you seriously.
You and those who modded you up have absolutely no sense of perspective what so ever. I think you need to spend a few months living in the middle east to get some sort of a clue.
Yes, cause Wikipedia is a valid source of information for any argument... ever.
Sorry, but anyone who gets details about how the American government spends its money from Wikipedia is just a moron too stupid to realize what politics actually are.
A few businesses fell apart yes, but the world did not end.
All that happen recently was a rebalancing where unqualified people lost their jobs and bogus businesses went belly up.
Basically the scams were all called.
Contrary to what the media screams for sensationalism, life in America really didn't change for many people. The country is moving along just fine. The only real news was that the media blew it so out of proportion that people panicked and stopped spending their money, which made things a little worse and killed off companies that should have been able to hang on.
So yes, a few large companies who's sole reason to exist was to gamble with investors money had issues when suddenly the scam became apparent. And a couple car companies that haven't been capable of supporting themselves for years got called on it.
Other than people being 'scared' because the media tells them the world is ending, I have not seen a single person in my life that was effected by what happened directly. I've seen plenty of people 'laid off', but they should have been fired long ago and this was just good timing. Didn't see a single business fail that I didn't expect to fail anyway.
No educated person on the planet looks at the swastika symbol (...) and doesn't realize how it could be construed'
Of course you're also ignoring the difference between the Buddhist swastika and the German one, which is ironic considering you're trying to pretend you know so much more than everyone.
If you're going to pretend you know so much its probably a good idea to know that there are infact to several variations to the symbol by that name.
Or you could stop faking it, stop Googling to come up with some quick 'fact' to backup your post and stop pretending to be so much better than anyone else since you know about Buddism, you really don't have a clue and it shows.
- at least thirty times, in various good-luck charms sold at local flea markets
Either you don't live in the USA or those weren't 'good luck charms' at the flea market.
Its not that this experience is that of the whole world, but it DOES match those who use XBox live, which amazing as this may be to you, in general, is not a large population of Buddists, but for fucks sake don't let context ruin your ignorance.
Those billions of dirt poor Asians that think its a great symbol... or the Europeans and other westerners who think of it as basically pure evil?
Whats that? You didn't think about the fact that the guys target audience is a group of people that think of the symbol as evil and the group of people who think its good and peaceful make up exactly 0% of his target?
My god, its amazing what happens when you start actually looking at the whole situation rather than one idiotic little bit to prove your own point.
XBox Live isn't there to educate or expose people. It is not a public service. Your opinion does not match that of the majority of its customers.
When you are in the minority, you lose, sorry. You also utterly ignored his very points which I have re illustrated since you appear to be unable to read and comprehend it the first time.
Slashdot Mirror
So a bunch of idiots with attention spans the size of nat got a fake warning.
No intelligent person uses twitter, and most morons are smart enough to not use twitter.
Anyone who basis their lives on what someone says on twitter or facebook deserves the result.
You couldn't be more wrong. Resolution beyond the most basic of levels doesn't define how good a game looks. There are great looking NES games. A good artist can do better with better equipment, but certainly doesn't require one.
You should go work for EA or one of the other big game companies, you guys both don't get it.
...
Let me help you out with your why wave failed ...
It had nothing to do with how well it worked.
Wave 'failed' because no one found any usefulness to it. It tried to fill a roll that no one needed filled.

No it wasn't, get a clue, you couldn't be further from the truth.
Ah, another idiot that has no clue what the number 666 means and still assumes 'ITZ THE DEVILZORS!'

The fact that you think 'Top Secret' has any meaning outside of a TV or movie show just shows you are utterly ignorant of the situation.
Really, the government doesn't classify things that way.
I agree up until your last statement.
I do not believe in the war on terror, its bullshit, its not effective and a waste of money. Its costing us lives because they won, and we live in terror now.
I also do not believe in leaking this data because it most certainly costs lives and those leaking the data are doing it purely for attention under the guise of informing the public.

Seriously?
Slashdot considers the website who's sole purpose in life is to facilitate theft as an indicator of 'good'?
And just for reference, it moved a long time ago so they could try to get it under the political umbrella in an attempt to circumvent Swedish laws.
That failed too. Yes, even the Swede's don't buy into the douchebag that is wikileaks.
Wikileaks has always been about what gets the most attention and news headlines, never has it been about anything else.
Just because these things get bigger headlines doesn't mean they have been trying to be fair, it just means the US v* stuff will garner them the most attention.

You and those who modded you up have absolutely no sense of perspective what so ever. I think you need to spend a few months living in the middle east to get some sort of a clue.
You lost any and all hope of having anyone respect your statement when you brought up that retarded video.
Yes, cause Wikipedia is a valid source of information for any argument ... ever.
Sorry, but anyone who gets details about how the American government spends its money from Wikipedia is just a moron too stupid to realize what politics actually are.
No, not really.

Lets see, who uses xbox live?
Those billions of dirt poor Asians that think its a great symbol ... or the Europeans and other westerners who think of it as basically pure evil?
