Rogers will hugely oversell their network capacity. I have basically no internet access from 5pm till 10pm because everyone in the neighboorhood is on and ping times are as bad as 1200ms with less than 5KB download speeds. And of course they will not consider even telling the network staff, much less fixing it. They just have the front line morons tell you to reset your modem and reinstall their gay software that I don't even have.
I didn't know they were planning on changing their website. It would appear that they simply chose to have this idiot do it for them instead of asking the community to help like you would expect. I am sure there's lots of people who could have done a much better job. But now that they just changed their site, they are not interested in any further changes.
Most gamers are in their mid to late 20's, not their teens. I am the target demographic, and I think "celda" kicked serious ass, and double dash is one of the best games ever made. I have played games since I was 5, and I have not and will not outgrow them. Tits and beer are not replacements for games.
And she doesn't learn when people complain that she makes fixed width layouts and makes stupid assumptions about fonts that make the page messed up. This site contains the exact same problems that were pointed out in the new postgresql site.
She does shit like make the default size for the whole site 0.8em. That is smaller than 1em. That is bad, and makes the text smaller by default than what everyone wants, and has set their browser for.
If you are going to get someone to redo your website, get someone competant. In addition to what the doctor pointed out, the design is fixed width, so it looks like shit and wastes half your screen if you have a high resolution, and the menu is even fixed size, so if you are using larger fonts so you can read, it wraps around under the images. The new design sucks nuts, and the designer definately needs to go back to school.
I am talking about all 3 BSDs, complete unix operating systems, kernel and userland. They use CVS to maintain their code, cvs commits are sent to a mailing list so people can see what's going on. I get those messages. Memory leaks are very few and far between, despite development being very active, all the time.
When lots of people stop buying CDs, they blame the drop in sales on piracy and act even worse. Its not like they get the message "you suck" when you stop buying their crap. They get to make up whatever reason they feel like for the decline in sales.
Garbage collection is not a magic bullet that makes memory leaks dissapear. You can forget you have a reference to something just as easily as you can forget to free something.
I am sure its not a problem for these unix systems because I am on the cvs changes mailing list and I see how rarely a "fix a memory leak" or even similar problems like "fix a fd leak" happen.
And I am not insulting anyone. I didn't say anyone was perfect, or that memory leaks never happen. I said that they are a very minor and rare problem, and if its such an issue to someone that they are not productive in C, then that person is not competant.
Look at any of the BSDs. There's 3 complete unix operating systems, kernel and userland, all in C. And yet, somehow, memory leaks are simply not an issue. Sure, they happen once in a while, but not often enough to be a problem. Yeah, memory leaks abound in poorly written, buggy piles of crap like mozilla, but that's my point. If you have problems with memory leaks, then you are the problem, not C.
If you spend alot of time using stuff like valgrind and searching for memory leaks, then you are doing something very wrong. Its really not hard to just free the memory you allocate. The fact that people can write entire operating systems in C without having these problems indicates that the problems are with people, not C.
CMYK has been going to be in "the next version" for what, 2 years now? The fact is you cannot do any print work with the gimp, and they clearly don't care or they would have dealt with this already.
Making cross platform games does not add any extra time, expense or difficulty. Nor does it makes the game a "lesser" game. Games are some of the easiest apps to make portable, since they don't use any of the native OS gui toolkits, and there are portable libs for everything. Hell, there's idiots who license an existing portable game engine like the unreal or quake engine, and then release a windows only game anyways. We need to keep telling these morons that we are here and want linux versions of games so they eventually get it through their thick skulls.
IBM had already recognized that PCs were a real market, they has long since stopped believing that only big corporations would need computers. But they used their foray into the PC market to give Microsoft the monopoly it has now. They were stupid, not ignorant.
Microsoft is the same way, they know that people are hoping to make the OS unimportant, and move to portable network based applications. But they are too stupid to do anything about it. They even have the xbox part of the company working to help kill off the windows part of the business. They are stupid, not ignorant.
You just posted what is quite possibly the single stupidest comment in the entire history of slashdot. Sorry, I don't think there is a trophy or anything, but you should still be very proud.
First of all, its not graceful degredation, its data corruption. The entire purpose of constraints is to give you an error when you try to insert invalid data. Changing it to be valid data and not even telling you is completely and totally the wrong thing to do. How about if your data doesn't pass a constraint then mysql does a drop table, is that still good for you? Its just as helpful and makes just as much sense.
Second, databases are supposed to have constraints, they store the data, they have all the rules of what is and is not valid data. Duplicating that in your code is absolutely brain dead, although its exactly what php/mysql developers have always had to do. This warps their minds and makes them think like you, that mysql is right, and everything else is wrong. Sorry, mysql is broken, every other database follows the SQL spec and returns an error when there is an error. Randomly changing data is not the correct response to an error condition, nor is there anything graceful about it.
No, the latency is from being held for a clock. Bandwidth is how much data it can move across the bus, which is still the same.
And pointing to a moronic overclocker/tweaker website, and their retarded benchmarks of two completely different memory sticks, without even checking, much less telling us their settings, is absolutely the stupidest "evidence" you could provide. Think a little, it won't hurt.
Maybe you are confused about how he wrote GNU emacs because Gosling emacs was not free? As I said, vi didn't exist when he made the first emacs, and its always been free.
For those who will fall for this: emacs was written in 1975, vi in 1976. So its very unlikely that emacs was written in response to vi, unless the MIT dudes had a time machine working. And vi was always free, it was written as part of BSD.
And as someone who has to choose between using autocrap to find out if you are on a gimped system and pull in strl*, and simply not supporting glibc systems, guess which I choose?
Ulrich definately has implied that avoiding buffer overflows is easy, and only bad programmers would ever need strl*. Its not false at all. He actually thinks you should use:
*((char *) memcpy (dst, src, n)) = '\0';
instead of:
strlcpy(dst, src, n);
Notice of course that his method also requires you to correctly pass around the size, and truncates data if its too large. So its clearly not either of those "problems", but the fact that his ego is hurt by the thought of including something created by BSD people.

Seriously, if you think those are reasonable alternatives, then its you who have not done your homework.

What are you smoking? They've been a company for a long time, its their business, it is how they earn a living.

How very insightful. Not having CMYK isn't a problem, because you can just use a different program that has CMYK. You are a genious.
