I grew up with Gerry Anderson's shows from the early 1960s - I always wanted to be Joe 90 and get things downloaded into my brain (still do) and also think UFO is the best GA show. Dark themes with a cool look (the theme music is great too).
Now back to the point... In the UFO books, yes, there are books, you learn that the purple wigs are in fact anti-static devices! No idea about the miniskirts and knee-high boots though.
Southern hemisphere here. Left side episodic cluster head of about 17 years. I sense no difference this year. My other pretty regular run of winter clusters seem to have come a little early this year. But they're milder.
We're already taking the drugs "far nastier and more dangerous than mere LSD". A lot of the time they don't work and they don't work the same across all sufferers. I'm only a episodic cluster head (a lucky one) but the side effects of the meds that work for me and can stop an attack cluster are such that I prefer to ride it out without them.

The transputer architecture was quite different. It wasn't SIMD but just a processor with communications links, some on-chip RAM and h/w support for CSP - a scheduler for threads (called a process in occam/transputer-land) and comms via synchronous, uni-directional channels. The scheduler and stack machine architecture made context switches very fast and communications easy. The h/w was notable that you just needed some power and a clock to get a transputer machine up and building multi-processor systems wasn't too difficult.
Hoare's classic is freely available. It's worth reading despite workable higher-level techniques being available. I like this bit...
In its full generality, multithreading is an incredibly complex and error-prone technique, not to be recommended in any but the smallest programs. In excuse, we may plead that it was invented before the days of structured programming, when even FORTRAN was still considered to be a high-level programming language!
Uhmm, are you telling me you'd rather pirate it rather than wait 24 hours?
I'll bite... Yes. I have watched, here in.au, episodes of certain things before they were seen on the USA west coast thanks to helpful individuals on the east coast. I can then post spoilers along with all the other dicks and feel really good about myself.
More seriously such fast, world-wide, distribution should be seen as opportunity - a global approach to marketing, an expansion of the audience (which is especially useful for more niche genres). And I'll gladly pay, a reasonable amount, if they'd just let me buy the fucking thing. They deserve some reward.
As it is the business types mess things up totally and actually end up reducing the potential audience for their product (selling ad slots). Then they spend all their time complaining that consumers are pirating when its their own fault for not providing the product in the first place. Consumers are like water. They'll take the path of least resistance when they really want something. The content profiteers need to adapt to the changing technology (I know, preaching to the converted here). Part of the problem is that the new technology undermines certain people's rather entrenched, and often very well paid, positions and they'll do everything possible to hold on to their cushy jobs - doing lunch and brokering deals as if they know something about how to attract consumer eyes yet all the evidence (channel BT et al) is that they don't.
Mod's insightful? More like troll. Those aren't X11 functions and the result type being compared is not a success code. They're user id.'s and zero just happens to be the super-user.

OP may have written "open source" but I got the impression they really meant "zero cost".
No.

BTW dmr had one of the first, if not the first, software patents - setuid.

All that tells us is something we already know, IE users are sick!
I haven't read all the papers but there may be something useful from USENIX HotBots
I couldn't find any useful contribution, of any kind, in that statement. Or maybe I was floundering try to focus on the hidden message?

The date of filing is the important thing wrt. establishing the "priority" of the patent.

It's not really a constant. Since its an external symbol the compiler doesn't know its value. It's just a place holder until link time.

Tools just make lazier workers.
