    The beatings continued even after morale improved.

    FFS. Breaking the connector when you're putting forces on it outside its rated spec is not a problem with the connector, it's a problem with the idiot using the connector.

    Well, no, when several people have the exact same problem with something, it's usually a problem with the design.

    So right, I only post drivel here.

    Actually, when you're a Very Large Corporation, the law ceases to limit your ability to perform any action you desire - and turns into a weapon.

  6. Re:A simple starting point on Is Parallel Programming Just Too Hard? · · Score: 1
    Something like

    #pragma omp parallel for

    {
    do_something(a);
    }
    perhaps?

    Yeah, I'd recommend this too.

  9. Re:Flashplayer 8 required :( on Interview With John Romero · · Score: 1

    Seems like more and more news-sources are releasing videos instead of articles (or transcripts). Is it that much cheaper to produce?

  10. Re:And this is indeed a serious problem with EBay. on How to Win on Ebay: Snipe · · Score: 1

    That was a really clear explanation. Thanks :)

  11. Re:Just wait... on Software to Make Blue Gene Top 200 Teraflops · · Score: 1

    I first parsed C64 as Commodore 64, which indeed does take a different approach to high performance computing, with it's 1.02Mhz...

    Even better :)

  13. Re:trust the machines. on Airbus Plans to Expand Cockpit Automation · · Score: 1

    This is why it's a good idea to always use the const part of the expression first.

    if (0 = autopilot) { ... will flag as a compiler error.

  14. Re:More DRM... great on Warner Bros. to Try File Sharing in Germany · · Score: 0

    Of course the movie industry isn't blind. After this trial predictable fails, they can point to it as an example that the public doesn't want p2p for legatimate uses, and the only reason it exists is for piracy.

    Probably should have, but I don't post much :)

    For some networks (edonkey / bittorrent) sharing of incomplete files are more or less the default mode of operation...

  18. Re:Please check for this: comma in brackets in C++ on Searchable C/C++ DB surpasses 275 million lines · · Score: 1

    Well, the point is to use the same indexing mechanism with a multidimensional (and/or sparse) array.

    When dealing with vectors and other containers, "operator[]" provides a clear syntax for access.

    Of course, it is mostly syntactic sugar, but it is _nice_ syntactic sugar.

  19. Re:this reminds me... on Developing Firefox Extensions with GNU/Linux · · Score: 1

    It's often a good idea to have a archive-user to own a lot of those types of files - and the repository files for projects. Just to prevent accidental removal.

  20. Re:std::for_each on A Taste of Qt 4 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Well, you could look into the boost::lambda library.

    std::for_each(v.begin(), v.end(), std::cout << _1);

    I think someone tried to reverse engeneer the signal from a cats eyeball to the brain. I was mentioned on /. - try searching for it and you might find it.

    > So far, like Netscape, its selling point is "its not Microsoft". If they don't do better than that, it'll wind up like Netscape.

    It's selling point is that it runs on a lot of platforms where IE doesn't.

    (well IMHO anyway)

    Actually, I don't think I've seen even one sigle post which actually mention the JPEG->PNG solution. On the other hand, I can see a dozen or so posts which points out that this is not the way to go... Funny that... ;)
