I see 1.6MB here. It's probably because the dynamically linked libraries 'calc' is loading. Maybe the "ShinyButton" DLL has a lot of other crap in it that 'calc' doesn't use.
Some of that DLL memory may, or may not, actually be shared with other processes. (depending on whether the "preferred address space" of the DLL conflicts with the addresses the program already has mapped? I'm unclear on it. On Unix, shared libraries are PIC so they can always be shared between processes.)
Way back when, routine exposure to such things as polio and smallpox led to infant mortality rates that we would not tolerate today, but also bestowed on those who survived much more immunity to disease.
.. along with crippling deformities, such as my aunt's permanently bent back (thx to polio). That which does not kill you does not necessarily make you stronger.
Alhough I certainly do not feel passionately about Microsoft, they are the reason I have a good paying job. It's mostly because their OS is crappy and needs constant support, but beside the point.
A former acquaintence of mine used to work for Novell (think netware, etc.). I think they had the exact same mantra.
I'd one-up that, and reccomend Pretty Hate Machine instead if he's gonna go NIN. It's more consistent and straightforward (tho not nescessarily "better"), and when he says "theme" I assume that's what he's looking for.
Along those lines, I've been giving Beck's "Sea Change" a spin, and it's not for everyone but I'll be darned if it's not a theme album. Beck also has some other great records -- listen before you buy 'em, they're all different.
Well as I clicked, I innocently thought that any site going by the moniker Low Ping
Bastard Network would have the bandwidth nescessary to satisfy my curiosity.
So why don't they just rip the grungy device-driver stuff from the Linux kernel rather reinventing a square-cornered wheel?
If it's like everything else in FSF-land, it's because they want the copyright assignment on the code. linux/drivers/char/serial.c is copyrighted by several authors; maybe they'd rather re-implement 6000 LOC than ask those authors for the assignment. (or maybe linus laughed in their face..)
Of course, given the whole assignment issue, it also suprises me that they're moving to OSKit. Hell I thought that was why they didn't like (for very loose definitions of "like") Linux.

How about some more bug fixes? Before adding tons of new features?
How about some simple but nice additions like Go To Declaration, jump between declaration and definition, etc? Plus, it would be great to have some sort of macro capabilities inside the IDE, on a per-project basis.
You are aware that these paragraphs negate each other? What point were you trying to make besides, "I wish the developers would fix all the bugs I personally notice and still add all the features I personally want"? Well, join the crowd..
I have > 100k savings in the bank. I'm a 27-year-old programmer who still (barely) has a job. All you have to do is live in a dirt-cheap efficiency, not have a wife/girlfriend/kids, and never buy anything (which follows from living in a tiny place, because where are you going to put all your crap?). Also, try to get out of a cheap state college w/zero debt and a used car thanks to the parental units. Keep the car in shape and drive it into the ground (so get one that is supposed to last awhile). Keep the AC off during the day and don't have a TV or an internet connex, because you won't use it constructively enough to justify the expense. Keep your "money" in a normal bank account. I wouldn't normally recommend that, but so far the piddly amount of stock and 401k I have hasn't done jack. Never EVER be late or underpay on a credit card payment. Cigarettes are a particularly expensive way to spend money for what you get in return, so don't start because nobody I know has been able to stop.
I'm not proud of this and have no reason to be. After all, I'm not really going anywhere in life. I don't get to see my daughter say "daddy I love you" when I come home from work, and I don't wake up every morning to my wife, even though I think this would be the best time to start something like that. Hell plenty of people from the hometown are on their first divorce. If I had the motivation to create or build, as you put it, I would spend money in pursuit of it. If I met a nice woman, she could have half or whatever. However, I will not spend money on a damn xbox or some other piece of shiny plastic shit that has no meaning to me. Life for me is about the simple pleasures. Play an instrument. Read a book. Grow a tree. Get your ass off the couch and take a walk. I know that sounds pretentious, and it probably is, but I do it.
I'm not going to ruin the country, our elected officials are doing that just fine without me thankyouverymuch.
And the money fairy comes once a month according to the bank statements, even though it's fairly shitty interest.

Fine post, just a couple of nits.
Have at least 3 kids (the population aging, let's all do our part here to fix the situation, don't be selfish and hoard money with no offspring)
This is simply non-sustainable in the long term, unless we find a way to get the hell off this planet. It's the biggest pyramid scheme of all. It's not even a question of where you hit "overpopulation". Better would be to try to keep yerself healthy(!) and productive so you aren't so much of a drag on your young'uns later. Also, hoarding/spending money doesn't have *that* much to do with how many kids you have.
Sorry, those born with a silver spoon get the perks, such is life. Instead of whining that you don't get it, provide it to your kids. That SHOULD be the goal
Every opportunity, yes. Spoiling, no. There's a reason it's called that, and that's what I think when I hear "silver spoon".
Then there's your schooling arguments. The best bet there is to find a state (ie cheap) school that has a respected curriculum in your field of choice. (I suppose this isn't always possible, but as I live in Texas, there are plenty to choose from..).. then take that saved money you were going to spend on the Lexus and save it for retirement instead. Your children will thank you when you don't have to move in with them.
However, one must wonder whether Chris' discouraging of people to follow in his footsteps is motivated by his inner feelings, or by the terms of his sentence / plea bargain / desire for early parole.
It's probably both. Why must motivations always be simple?
If it's bags of money, it's called stealing.
If it's ones and zeros, it's called copyright infringement.
They are different things.
That's why we have different words for them.
Ahh, wordplay. This is the hacking/cracking argument all over again (or perhaps GNU/linux). Some people like to verbally distinguish on moral grounds between the two, and some are pedants; others prefer to use context to make a distinction. My guess is "stealing" will win out merely because it's easier to say.

I seem to have a typo every time I get a story accepted. You'd think I'd learn...
On the contrary, maybe that's the secret, Taco's all like "wow this was the first submitter today who can spell":)
It doesn't make sense, however, for a corporation trying to make money off of it to do that.(ie, ISO downloads)
I'm going to assume libranet has a very small userbase. If I was them I'd want to build my userbase before I started making it hard for potential customers to try my distro out and get "hooked". Even if I lost a little money (no Profit! jokes please). I'm not defending ISO downloads in particular, just the convenience principle.
I still cringe every time I overhear somebody asking for help with their Linux problems, and the first thing out of the "guru's" mouth is, "Which version of Linux are you using?" Not kernel version, not software versions -- Linux version. And of course they mean which version of Red Hat is installed.
I don't see why that's such a problem. Various distros have corresponding libaries/kernels, although the next question should be "have you kept up with the updates?". And the user (probably) knows what distro they're running whereas they (probably) don't have the other information offhand; your guru may be talking userspeak to keep from scaring them off or to get an immediate answer. Finally, sometimes it actually helps to know the distro ("where are the init scripts located", etc.)
OTOH if the guru/sysadmin has direct control over that box, he should be able to get in remotely and find out the necessary bits himself. Why trust the user's answers?
Of course the best question in this situation is "what was your username again?":)

Linux Kernel 3.0?

No. Under USA trademark law, product and brand names are adjectives and should be followed by a generic noun. Thus, "Linux kernel", "Windows operating system", "Mac OS", "Macintosh computer", "Kleenex tissue", "SPAM luncheon meat", "Xerox copier", etc.
Funny how the trademarks you cite are very rarely used like that. (perhaps this was your point, and I just missed it.)
My point is that Postgres won't be taken seriously
Well, it's all relative. It would appear that the Postgres developers don't take Windows seriously. And it looks like their opinion matters more in this regard than yours.
If Postgres doesn't meet your needs -- "native", capable, windows database -- you (obviously) know what your choices are. No need to get furious. Enjoy SQL Server.
