The -s option changes the shred size. Smaller shred sizes are more sensitive to small code duplications, but produce correspondingly noisier output. Larger ones will suppress both noise and small similarities.
[snip]
The -w causes all whitespace in the file (including blank lines) to be ignored for comparison purposes (line numbers in the output report will nevertheless be correct). This is recommended for comparing C code; among other things it means the comparison won't be fooled by differences in indent style.
Using the appropriate switches will address two of your points. I'm sure it wouldn't be extraordinarily difficult to modify the code to ignore other things such as string constants, variable names, etc.
Let me tell you about a place, somewhere up in Redmond way
where the people are so gay, patchin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' worms on the run
Oh man you'll find the old and young patchin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
but oh man, you ought to see him go, patchin' the night away
He's getting ready to reboot, he just installed a service pack
Oh man, there ain't nothing like patchin' the night away
Feel much better
Here's a fellow in blue jeans, who's fighting with an older box
reloading Windows 2000, patchin' the night away
Man you ought to see him go, patchin' to the rock and roll
Here you'll find the young and the old patchin' the night away
They're patchin', patchin', everybody's doing great
They're patchin' man, patchin', they're patchin' the night away
Patchin', you know they're patchin', patchin' the night away
They're patchin', patchin', man patchin' the night away
Here they have a lot of fun, puttin' worms on the run
Oh man you'll find young and the old patchin' the night away
Here's a man in evening clothes, how he got here I don't know
I don't know but man you ought to see him go
Patchin' the night away
FYI, I wasn't singling out CNN... And I'm well aware who Geraldo works for.
The sight[sic] that I linked to just happened to be the first pertinent one that google turned up.
I know I'm fighting a losing battle in this mostly liberal technology industry, but hey, free speech is what it is all about right?:)
It's all good.
Because he's not an American, and his family won't see that & sue their panties off. Plus, of course, he's an Iraqi, which makes him "inferior."
That may be what an intelligent individual may see, but don't you think that the constant barrage of wounded civilians serves to turn people against the war?
I'm talking about censorship via political correctness in the schools, providing a revisionist version of history, and not exposing students to an unbiased version of events that they can draw their own conclusions from. Nowadays, everyone is so worried about political correctness and not hurting anyones feelings that they are putting themselves and their country in danger. Teachers are being told what words they can and cannot say because they might "offend" someone.
Here's some questions for you to ponder
Lets say, a few months ago, you were on one of those trams at an international airport, and you see some guy standing close to you who happened to look Oriental (or is the PC term Asian?), with luggage tags from Beijing on his luggage. This guy is coughing up a storm and not caring about who's around him. Would you suspect him of having SARS or would that be "racist"?
You see two Middle-eastern fellows with a rented U-haul truck pulling up to a farming store and buying dozens of bags of fertilizer. Would you call the FBI, or would that be "racist"?
I beg to differ about your insinuation that the "Republicans" are turning this place into the soviet union...
If anyone, it's the damnned left-wing pieces of crap who insist on controlling what everyone sees and hears through the media, education, and other outlets.
Why is it that CNN wouldn't ever show pictures of the injured of 9/11, yet as soon as theres a blown-apart Iraqi kid, it's all over the place?

I neglected to mention that he "works in the field he teaches" and had a master's in CS. Sorry for the confusion :)
I had an "instructor" at a certain "nation's largest private University" who told our class: "TCP/IP is the basis of good filesystem management."
Sad thing is that this guy had multiple PhD's in nuclear and civil engineering, among other degrees.

or there could be a group of engineers standing around some piece of broken equipment wondering how to fix it.
Or it could be some guy standing there saying "Oh Shit!", while his buddy says "I told you not to push that button!"
Isn't that one of the legendary BOFH excuses?
And we all know that black smoke streaming out of electrical equipment is perfectly normal.
Disney should sue SCO/Caldera since their logo looks too much like Mickey Mouse's ears (in blue) on top of a red globe...
Microsoft, of course!
Was funding OpenBSD and OpenSSL, for a little while until they changed their minds
A copy of Mozilla Firebird cause you can't rely on others to have anything except Internet Exploder installed...
You need this if you REALLY want to be cool :)
Here's an interesting Chart to look at and watch the soap opera unfold...

Who would have thought 15-20 years ago that people would be rooting for IBM?
How's that saying go? Oh yeah, "the enemy of my enemy is my friend"...
Here's something I found at the PBS store
put ... lots of services in Windows by default
But they already do! Hence the cause of many of their security problems!
Fear
Uncertainty
Doubt
Taylor says he plans to focus on (and fund) studies that 'will highlight Microsoft's advantages in areas such as security
Microsoft announced today that they are laying off a Mr. Marting Taylor, citing the fact that he had no work to do.

I'm sorry, just about every time I turned on the TV when the war started (and not just CNN) was:
