  1. Re:Dumb or not ... on German Youth Convicted for Sasser Worm · · Score: 1

    I know it's hard, but that doesn't exempt people from patching their machines on time. Everyone has a bit of responsability...

  2. Re:Justice on German Youth Convicted for Sasser Worm · · Score: 1

    It's funny that you should be talking shit about creating worms when you have a compressed one in your sig... Or is it a movie? I'll check it out later :P

  3. People's predictions are proving accurate on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1
  4. Re:England just another blood splat on the wall. on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Maybe you need some psychological assistance... Don't avoid it if you feel the need!

  8. Re:Wrong path perhaps? on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Yeah, someone got pissed off, got a couple of bombs and made them them detonate in 7 different points within a short period of time. And oh, it only took about 24 hours to plan and organize all of this.

  9. Re:PhD in CS is WAY overrated on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Well, I should mention that precision loss can screw the code I've written (imagine exchanging a big number with a small number this way)... But it doesn't matter for 4 and 7, of course :)

  10. Re:PhD in CS is WAY overrated on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1
    Lol :)
    To confuse them even more, you could ask this:

    If the data types were changed from int to double, state the needed changes for the code to do the same thing without using any additional variables. Answer:
    double a=4, b=7;
    a += b;
    b = a - b;
    a -= b;
    Nah, that would be too evil :)
  11. OK on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 1

    Check out the first one at this site

  12. Template for these jokes! on What's the Best Geek Joke You Know? · · Score: 1

    Since everyone is already posting variations on the light bulb joke, I thought I should end it all with a template for light bulb jokes:

    Check out the reply to that post too :)

  13. Re:Faster your seatbelts on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    I've thought better about this, and it wouldn't make much sense to attack Iran now... Damn, they haven't even solved their problems in Iraq!

    So maybe the discovery of the relation between this terrorist attacks and Iran will only be done in a few months, or more... but some people seem to think it will end up being done :(

  14. Re:PhD in CS is WAY overrated on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    What's that lone C doing there? That even makes the function non-commutative.

    Did you mean "a&b | b & c | a & c"?

    If so, I believe the shortest way is "(a & (b | c)) | (b & c)", as I've said in another post.

  15. Re:PhD in CS is WAY overrated on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I just misunderstood the question...

    I don't think there's a better way to do it, except for putting one of those literals outside:

    (a & (b | c)) | (b & c) (for example)

  16. Re:PhD in CS is WAY overrated on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I just used this simplification rule 3 times:

    !AB + AB = B

  17. Re:PhD in CS is WAY overrated on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    That's the same as this

  18. Re:PhD in CS is WAY overrated on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 1

    Err, maybe I didn't get the question then... :)

  19. Re:PhD in CS is WAY overrated on Microsoft's Personnel Puzzle · · Score: 2, Funny

    Write a subroutine that takes three 32 bit integers and produces a result where each bit is "voted on" by the corresponding bit in the three inputs

    Answer = xor, right?

  20. Re:A new broadband option is welcome to me on Google Invests in Power-Line Broadband · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    That's six words. And this is 7.

  21. Re:Faster your seatbelts on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Well, a good way to check out when this starts to happen is to use this search.

    For now, all that comes up is this, a warning that this will possibly be used to justify an attack to Iran.

  22. Re:Faster your seatbelts on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Geez, if that happens... It'll be "funny" as hell, do you think they would dare to be that obvious? Given the letargy of the public in general, they probably could get away with it...

  24. Re:Wow. on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    My grandfather died recently. Yes, we are telling funny stories which happened with/to him all the time, but we never said any joke about the way he died... That's my point. But I understand that people are different, and each one has the right to react to things the way it's better for them.

  25. Re:The real bugger is... on Six Bomb Blasts Around Central London · · Score: 1

    Alright, it's fairly obvious that we're talking about terrorist attacks here, but what kind of terrorists?

    IMHO - the kind of terrorists who already knew they were eventually going to attack the UK. USA was first, then was Spain, now it's the UK. People already knew this would happen!

    I just hope my country isn't the next one... :(
