    No, no, that is not better, not at all, none what so ever.

    What you meant, I think is:

    int i;
    while(1) {
        i = fork();
        if( i == 0 ) { /* only the child spins */
            while(1) {}
        }
    }

    in your loop the parent spins, because it cannot fork(), i never leaves the loop.

    Agree, and they're all SQL based anyway. there is stuff on mysql/postgres that doesn't work on mssql. select * from foo limit 10, offset 10 etc. mssql just doesn't have pagination OOTB. that's just one thing that's so stupidly crap about it. pagination is so basic. in most cases the programmer just gets the entire lot back and only processes the required record sets.

  16. Re:Not yet on Is the CD Becoming Obsolete? · · Score: 1

    Until downloadable music isn't compressed, or they are able to compress without ANY loss, there will still be a need for CD's. I think the under 25 crowd doesn't care that much, you wouldn't notice the difference on an Ipod, but on a nice home system you do. flac is a lossless compression for audio, i think generally you can see a 50meg wav compressing to 15meg of playable flac... generally.

  18. SPF is broken by design on Does SPF Really Help Curtail Forged Email Headers? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Consider the following:

    S: 200 happy to meet you sir
    C: helo example.com
    S: 220 happy to meet you
    C: mail from:
    S: 220 ok
    C: rcpt to:
    S: 220 ok
    C: data
    S: 220 begin
    C: Subject: v1ag7a
    C: From: customersupport@ebay.com
    C: To: you@yourdomain.com
    C:
    C: message body
    C: .

    You see how the mail from envelope can be manipulated to hold a domain that differs from the message body headers. This is ok for SPF since otherwise it would break email lists.

    What it might do is help prevent back scatter spam from hitting your domain if the original recipient's mail server DOES check the SPF for the mail from... that is all.

  21. Re:Sounds promising. on Embedded Linux Primer · · Score: 1

    I must be missing some important detail here: how is a 48-port router any different from, say, a regular router with a 48-port switch ? Do you really need an IRQ for each port ? Don't they use "switch fabric" for those things ? Hypercube-style topology or the like.
    yes it's possible, no, but it's something i've wanted to do for a long time... i just want to make a single, all contained device that has proper dedicated ports. the switch fabric has a single point of contention, using dedicated ports means the hardware at the card can handle the buffers and all the magic.
  22. Re:Sounds promising. on Embedded Linux Primer · · Score: 1

    Looks like a good book. I've dabbled in embedded systems before. For anyone who has had reflashed their router with DD-WRT or think programming your toaster could be fun, this could be a good read. i've always expected embedded linux to require a lot of kernel experience. i chatted to someone at the linux expo a few years ago, and they were mainly interested in the porting of the kernel to a risc processor. i'm not sure what their end goal was once they could get their risc system to work, but i'm sure it's got a lot of applications.

    personally i've wanted to make a huge port router, something like a 48 port beast, but getting that on a system with enough irqs is hard. the best i can get is 8, and that's using epia systems, and not really embedded.

    Best practice or not, it simply will. not. happen. i don't see why not. i'm thinking i might implement this at work next week, we can easily put our public key on the "about us" page as a matter of customer protection against fraud. it's not a big deal to sign all out outgoing mail. its not something that could have any problems, if antthing, i've noticed the mere signing of email causes outlook to put a nice rosette against the mail, so it can't possibly cause any problems for us.
