Not everyone cares enough about constant factor speed increases that they would abandon a programming language because of it
First, it's a constant factor in speed, but not in size. Second, nobody said anybody was abandoning any languages because of it, only that you shouldn't go around showing it off as a "quicksort".
That's how pretty much every single remote exploit works, you know. Tricking a client to execute part of the sent data as code. That's the whole point of exploits.
Mind your own business. Is your life so miserable that you have to impose yourself upon someone else's?
I guess buy this point you had worked yourself into such a tizzy that you completely forgot what my argument was and were just yelling at the people in your head, yes?
Which nanny-state arguments where those? That you shouldn't be allowed to hurt other people? That you shouldn't be allowed to needlessly tie up life-saving resources that others need?
Nowhere near true. He is exposing others to secondhand smoke, and when he finally starts croaking from it he will tie up medical resources that could be used for people that don't suffer from self-inflicted injuries.
In addition to not paying attention to the energy, you also seem to have not paid attention to the fact that the explosion would be at an altitude of 9 kilometers.
What is there to be puzzled about? It's a DSi with big screen for old people who have trouble seeing the regular one. You're not supposed to run out and buy one.

He can do that when he buy a ticket on an airliner.
Somehow I think he's having quite a bit more fun doing what he's doing now.
He uses a jet-powered wing because it's a fucking jet-powered wing strapped to his back, and that is awesome.
That is not difficult to understand.
The fourth reason is that C is doing in-place array swaps.
And the ability to do that is the whole reason for quicksort. If you do quicksort without doing it in-place, you're just being silly.
That was not the point. The point was that this implementation of quicksort is bad. It could be argued it is not even a true quicksort.
What exactly is it you think you are preventing with policykit or firewalls there?
Or, you know, you just took the bait dangled right in front of you, and totally failed to make any attempt to understand what the real situation was.
What if he doesn't use twitter?
Do you honestly think they would have asked that of him if he didn't?

I'd say that keyboard and computer are yours.
This attacks one layer of security. NX provides another layer of security. The two are not related in any way except for being layers of security.

What, you live somewhere where there are still phone booths? Where people still bother with wristwatches?
Oh, right, the US, isn't it?
Why don't you tell us about how much better gramophones sound too, grandpa?
He's not hurting anybody but himself.
Nowhere near true. He is exposing others to secondhand smoke, and when he finally starts croaking from it he will tie up medical resources that could be used for people that don't suffer from self-inflicted injuries.
How many lives are saved by driving every day? How much of society relies on people driving?
Next, answer the same questions for smoking.
If your Javascript code is "purely interpreted", then you should probably stop using a browser from 2005.

Be glad you don't need to read TI datasheets.
Except there aren't really any opensource tools that can take advantage of that hardware on the OMAP3.
You must be reading some other Slashdot that is not packed full of people going on and on about how evil Apple is at the slightest opportunity.

The DS does not use ARM11, it uses one ARM9 and one ARM7.
So in other words, you don't know shit about shit, but that won't stop your from shooting your mouth off.
