The only way to defeat a troll (like the parent) is to ignore it.
Some trolls are hard to ignore. There are some really malicious ones (I'm not malicious) that will do everything they can to get a reaction, including getting you fired from your job, harassing your family, creating false personas to interact with you that appear genuine for years, only to use new things they've learned against you to evoke further responses.
Such trolls are not defeated by non-reaction, they take that as a challenge.
Also, it seems you're not familiar with trolls that aren't in it for reactions either.
I would normally agree that people get offended too easily, but that's only when people express their honest opinion. Trolls are a different matter; they only do it for the lulz.
I'm a troll (not so much on Slashdot) and I don't only do it or even primarily do it for the lulz.
Their whole purpose is to create discord.
Not my intent either.
It's a pointless, unproductive waste of time
I've found it very useful.
the fact that people get jollies out of deliberately aggravating other people bespeaks of a certain level of sociopathy.
That isn't really the goal of most of my trolling either.
That's because that is what most people actually are when not forced to be polite. Trolling is people being honest about what they actually are rather than phony pretenses of politeness.
I'm a troll (not so much on Slashdot) and this is nothing to do with the reason why I troll. I'm not rude either, even when trolling.
Text messages are essentially free for the carrier (due to how they work on the network).
There are some large overheads when it comes to SMS storing for delivery later as well as high availability implementations. SMS is free to the network if you don't request any delivery retention (ie: keep delivering for a week, otherwise discard) and don't go through a gateway. Most phones don't even support setting that parameter to 0 today nor gatewayless message delivery.
Nothing will happen. Why? Because t-mobile exists in a whole slew of other countries (in the UK they're so much more reasonable than the US deals) and they all operate differently. When mobile firms are bought up by foreign companies, I rarely have seen a change in pricing strategy.
The optimization flags have nothing to do with CPU errata. You should know that.
I'm aware.
Most of that is due to the compiler taking a few liberties with floating point correctness that may or may not work out OK.
True.
From memory (and this is a few years ago). I do recall using the Intel compiler, to generate bits of binaries to make use of some pretty hard-core optimizations where a threaded application which uses SMID instructions could be used to access overlapping registers (compliant with the specification) and do simultaneous processing off those registers. It ran perfectly on Intel and Transmeta processors at the time, not so much when it came to AMD though.
Actually, you should care. Modular software is more resistant to bugs
Not really.
easier to maintain.
I've seen some pretty terrible modular software, with layers of abstractions on abstractions on abstractions to avoid rewriting other parts of the software. The fact software is modular doesn't magically make it better nor easier to maintain.
More useful error messages improve developer productivity.
To be frank, I haven't found the compiler warning or error messages from LLVM that wonderful when it came to c and c++ code.
It seems that the only thing you actually care about is the execution speed of the generated code,
Some of us don't like the extra 'fluff' generated by GCC and LLVM just makes it worse.
Not the only time Intel has been caught red handed playing games with the compiler. It produces fast code (usually), but you need a reference compiler around to validate your code.
As someone who writes code in assembler, AMD have had a terrible habit of returning CPU flag support for opcode specifications they do not meet. At least when Intel takes AMD specifications and can't support the specification proper, they just create a new CPU flag (see AMD and Intel's history with MMX, 3DNOW and SSE for examples).
The worst problem is where AMD fix their 'errata' issues by making opcodes try to fool/trick software into thinking it's working when it doesn't.
So no, not really surprising someone made their compiler simply not trust AMD CPU flags and just check for 'AutthenticAMD'.
Let's look at the recent PMs of Israel: Netanyahu (former IDF commando), Ehud Barak (former chief of staff of the IDF), Shimon Peres (former defense minister), Ariel Sharon (former IDF general, former minister of defense), Yitzhak Rabin (former chief of staff of the IDF), Yitzhak Shamir (former Mossad agent). The only PM in the past 40 years who didn't have significant connections to the Israeli defense establishment was Ehud Olmert.
This isn't really surprising for a country that has mandatory military service.

Hi APK. Hows it going?

Depends on the circumstances of the troll. One example could be to show others the ignorance of someone.
Second sentence seemed pretty concrete on what you were saying applied to all trolling.
I agree, tearing down all the network bridges will prevent trolls from interacting online.

I get called a troll when I do that. :)
When you're interacting with a proficient troll, by the time you realize you're being trolled, it is too late.

This can be fixed in the operating system with prompts on accepting device types.

The only thing dkf and I have to worry about is scummy advertising now.
If you say you have an unlimited 4g connection, you would expect to have no bandwidth caps/throttling on your 4g connection I would think.

Do you even write assembler with modern opcodes or have a social group that does?
Most compilers have a lot of workarounds for errata and poor implementation non-sense.
For that processor revision with that specific microcode patch level.
The primary reason being GNU GPLv3.
Nope, that had nothing to do with the decision of not using GCC.
Note: I am not the grand parent.

I still don't see how this is this is surprising?

Found your problem.
