Probably because BIND has to be cross-platform. I'm sorry to break this to you Matt, but some people use inferior operating systems without good random number generation function. That doesn't prevent BIND from using superior OS provided services for platforms that do have good random number generators. They decided not to do it, plain and simple.
Big O notation describes performance as "n" approaches infinity. If you cap n, then of course you cap the execution time, that's the case for most any algorithm. What you're describing still remains O(ln(n)).
Frankly big O notation isn't a very good way to describe scheduler performance. Execution time under common loads, and maybe an extreme case would be better. Who cares about an O(1) scheduler that always takes 1 second to schedule the next task:)
You make an accurate description of the process from a 3rd party observer but aren't taking into account relativity.
Light travels at the speed of light for all observers which results in time and space distortion. For the two parties accelerating, the universe in the direction they are moving is compressed, approaching 0 as they approach the speed of light. To the 3rd party observer, time would appear to stop passing for the participants as they approach the speed of light. So yes to the 3rd party observer it would appear that light would take forever to go from one participant to the other, but to the participants the dimention that they are traveling in will collapse to near nothing and light will travel at the speed of light as always.
So yes, light would take longer and longer to go between the participants, but the participants experience that vast amount of time in a very short time.
I believe allocations less than 1 page don't get that benefit, but yes... the large buffer type allocations would. Allocations less than 1 page are handled internally by malloc still, and I don't see that changing.
in which str points to a byte in memory that is 0.
char *str;
str = NULL;/* basically, 0 */
In this case, str will point to the memory address 0, which is invalid. If you dereference that, your process will terminate. There is a difference between a null string and an empty string, even in C.
Photoshop and Office are actually good examples of that--that's why those systems come with their own toolkits, libraries, development environments, and scripting languages.
They do this becuase they're cross-platform: win32 / osx
1. The primary purposes of jails are to deter crime and to keep criminals off the street. Punishment is a means to an end, and reform is just a good idea.
2. Sometimes, law enforcement doesn't even know what jail someone's in, where they need to be transferred to, when they need medical attention, or what their release date is.
You assert that God has omniscience and we have free will. I'll assert that God has communicated with people according to The Bible.
So, God already knows everything that's going to happen. Let's say God knows (and truthfully and faithfully conveys that to me) that I will say "Hi person X, how are you doing?" the next time I call person X. I decide not to do it, and instead, I say "Hi, screw you" to person X.
Now, God's vision of the future isn't the correct vision.
If the future is pre-determined, then free will is just an illusion.
Anyway, I can visualise things with more than 5+ dimensions
This is complete BS. Maybe you can visualize a 3d projection of it, because you've seen it. Maybe you can visualize a 3d+time projection of a 5d object because you've seen a computer generated projection with the viewpoint changing enough times to fool yourself.
Or, maybe you've convinced yourself you really can visualize a 5d object, but it's nothing more than that.
If you are security consious, you should always be trying to only have those things installed and in memory that you need. Less code == les vulnerabilities, that even holds on OpenBSD.
It takes more code to conditionally load drivers. It takes more effort to debug different kernel images. Extra drivers that aren't executed aren't a source of vulnerabilities.
So, in 3 different years, 3 different suggestions were made by 3 different accounting firms. This occured in an organization that had a "badly" fluctuating cash position.
What conclusion are you attempting to draw from that?
No. Intelligent Design proponents are trying to use scientific terms like "theory" without meeting the prerequisites, and they're pushing to do so in science classes.
It's politics, and at the risk of being redundant, lying. If I were religious, I wouldn't associate myself with ID proponents.

Not sure if you're trolling, but IPv6 addresses are 128 bits, not 48.
When you use NAT, you have to punch a hole and redirect traffic to receive a connection.
When you use stateful firewalling, you still have to punch a hole in your firewall.
What have you really gained?
Yes, the money helps, but the real point here is that Apple can license the win32 API from MS.
You must be joking. When was the last time you dropped a call on a land line (that wasn't related to your own phones or local loop)?
A properly designed sonet network is untouchable by any current IP technologies, including MPLS.
I'd image the decompression speeds are all fast.

There are ISPs that have no peering arrangements, they purchase all of their bandwidth to avoid situations like these (among other benefits).
Internap is one of them. Since I work for them, I'll end the sales pitch now.
I'd like to see:
(average severity)(number of bugs)(time to fix) / month
That's about it.
As far as C strings are concerned, you can have:
/* basically, 0 */
char *str;
str = "";
in which str points to a byte in memory that is 0.
char *str;
str = NULL;
In this case, str will point to the memory address 0, which is invalid. If you dereference that, your process will terminate. There is a difference between a null string and an empty string, even in C.

You keep it for a year and 6 months, not 6 months.

Not everything that is possible can happen. You might die in less than 20 years, or more. But not both.
Regarding free will.

TigerDirect should be granted damages
I agree that TigerDirect should be granted damages.
So, what are the damages?
Nope. Just put all of your documents in one directory. Or not, who cares.
I don't organize my mail on gmail either. Haven't had a problem.
It's not about finding mates, it's about how many children you have, and when.
Intelligent people generally have less children and also wait longer to have them.
Almost everyone finds a mate... there's an ass for every seat.
If you are security consious, you should always be trying to only have those things installed and in memory that you need. Less code == les vulnerabilities, that even holds on OpenBSD.
It takes more code to conditionally load drivers. It takes more effort to debug different kernel images. Extra drivers that aren't executed aren't a source of vulnerabilities.
So do you expect your browser to prevent sites from loading other sites in frames, then?
If the browser could do so without me knowing, yes. If the "other" site could be potentially any site with or without my knowledge, you bet.
