Fragmentation is a problem if you do small allocs/frees frequently, but then need to do a large alloc. It is possible to design around that. For example, large objects can be preallocated.
If you only want to pull out the meat, defined as the text and simple formatting, then you're right. But RTF can describe much more than that. Look at the spec. Not all RTF tags have HTML equivalents, and building the equivalent HTML for arbitrary RTF streams is especially non-trivial.

Nope, sorry. You can store user session information on the server also, and there are good reasons for doing so. It can make your site more responsive for interactive users, and save bandwidth. IIS makes this easy. I have never tried it with Apache.
What you describe is not commenting, it is writing the code twice. Once in English, once in ASM/C++. I don't think that is a useful standard. Do you really think developers will maintain all those comments, as the code is changed?
What if the computer does not have Windows 98 installed? I can see the need for a consistent OS that supports lots of random hardware, so Windows 98 for $5 is probably the most cost effective solution.

It does. Para mount translated from Spanish is "for sex." They want sex, not money.
"Turbo" was a clock doubling button. The idea was that some legacy software of the day used software loops for timing, and therefore did not run correctly on faster CPUs. You would run such software in "normal" mode. When you ran software that did not have that problem, you would press the "turbo" button to get clock doubling and your computer would run at full speed. On a lot of machines the turbo button didn't do anything, but I once owned a machine where it worked. I always ran in "turbo" mode on that box.
Why would a record company offer you a contract if they did not gain the rights to your music? Are you suggesting that they just have the rights to one album you do for them, as is and whole, but you retain rights to the music? No major label will agree to that, unless you are a superstar, and even then you need to be one hell of a negotiator and make concessions. An unknown will not get such a cherry deal.
Assertions are useful for documenting preconditions in code. E.g., this function should never be passed a NULL pointer. If you do so, you lose, and the program is aborted. The idea is that eventually the code is tested and robust enough that we trust the assertions will all pass, so we turn them off to gain a slight advantage in performance.
This is the most flamebait post I have seen in a while. It is such flamebait that it may in fact be a singularity that ends up destroying the universe with its awesome power.
I get more satisfaction out of crafting breathtaking memos. So help me god, nothing increases one's self esteem more than a buttery-ly written memo. I call it the purpose driven life.
Yeah, but then Microsoft would need to support Windows 2000 for that much longer. A much better business model is to obsolete your old products, so that your customers are forced to upgrade. Well, that business model is much better for Microsoft at least. The customer gets a good rodgering out of the deal.

Well if you involve beer as you suggest, the UI will need to build itself.
I think proxies skew the numbers towards Firefox. Firefox is primarily an "after 5:00" browser, but all those IE visits are counting as one person.
It also depends on what you need. SQL Server has features that are just plain missing in MySQL.

There are far fewer users of Windows Server 2003 than Windows XP. That's why the download is so fast.

"Trying" to sue?
Sue, or sue not. There is no try.
I don't know why so many consider game development a "fun" career. It isn't. I like to drink beer, but I don't care to brew it.
Game tester would be ok, if you actually make a living at it.

Dear Lord! Is Microsoft attempting to stifle my freedom to innovate?
Did you "roll up" in your 1983 Chevy Citation too?

Of course the grandparent was flamebait too.
Begun, the clone wars have.

Why are they scared to show the movies again?
I don't know, I don't think I want people watching me download porn. Is a dark private basement provided with my $30?

In a One-Copy Country, the full version of Windows is free anyway. Why on earth would someone pay for a crippled version?
If he was good at his job, he would have put more paper in the printer before you arrived and you wouldn't need to go inside.
