Given that one can be a professional sadist, and it's a fairly easy yet well paid job, I can't imagine anyone who actually wanted to do it professionally would take up science instead to indulge their kicks.
It's not just a character from a film, it's a concept in BDSM. It involves the dehumanisation of a submissive through total enclosure clothing masking their human attributes, psychologically enabling the dominant(s) to mete pain and punishment beyond what they could conscionably inflict upon a person.
It's gain wider social acceptance, on account of not being named after a sexual perversion so deviant it skirts the boundary between legality and illegality?
My understanding of GCD is that it makes parallel programming and, importantly, interacting with the UI, pretty damned easy.
And despite that, if the only thing you can think of to do with Blocks is threading, then you seriously need to get back to learning your CompSci. Resource Allocation Is Invocation becomes a load more practical, and that alone would mark a major shift between C code that's mostly resource and error management overhead and code that actually does something.
Everyone's assuming that these people are using Linux like they would on the desktop. They're not. As a general rule, if it needs hardware access, the drivers they write will do little more than punch through register access/irq response down into userspace, where the GPL means diddly squat.
I'm mostly working from the lectures I had at York on formal verification.
I half reckon they only did it because the students had hacked the previous version of the system to trick the snack machines into giving you free pound coins. Paid for many a CompScis boozy evening;)
Um, have you looked at an actual TomTom? The display shows a simplified 3D view of what you should see in front of you, with the path you should take highlighted. First and foremost, it's invaluable for knowing which particular lane you should be in when there's 5 going off in every which way, and all it's said to you is "Bear right", or when you're at a roundabout with too many exits for it to handle. Secondly, when I've used my GPS on my motorcycle, and when the bluetooth headset failed, all it took was a quick glance at the display - about as much as you'd give your speedo - at each turn to know where I should go. Thirdly, it not only shows you the actual speed you're going at, but what the current speed limit is, and what sort of "safety" cameras are about.
if anything, it's the *voice* that's distracting and unneccessary, especially given it can often not be heard over road noise/other people in the car/the stereo.
I got tired of incandescent bulbs failing, and the low light output of CFLs. I just installed a couple of high output fluorescent tubes in the dungeon, and now it's much easier to see what you're doing. People need to just get over this "warm" light nonsense.

Well, he does appear to be collared...

Unless there's a relationship between the serial number and MAC address, a phenomena that's bitten other manufacturers in the arse in the past.
How are they meant to rip off the features of their competition if they don't know what they are?
Um, that's looks like today's date to my European eyes.

For some of us, the association goes deeper than a shallow pop culture reference.
Chained up in the basement.
Yet I still can't play audio out of the speakers built into my laptop.
There's still a damn long way to go.
I thought it had to come through the barrel of a gun?
Some of us do it for the love of coding, rather than as blatant self promotion.

New Labour, putting the National back into Socialist!

I was fairly sure the OS running on the MONDEX smartcards was formally proven.
You say vulgar, I say vital.
Cos punks, metallers, and goths aren't any sort of culture...

Prostituion or drugs dealing. At least they're fundamentally honest and provide a service people want.
I've never found it a problem putting on makeup, and neither has my Mistress.

They might *like* being hurt.
If I did that, I'd be crumped in the corner, having been stoned to death for being the women your mother warned you about.
