Bitcoin transactions will not be free in the long term. Once all the bit coins are mined, the people verifying the transactions will have to charge a fee unless they are using a bot net.
I keep hearing the "git is better than svn at handling conflicts" meme, but of course neither handles conflicts at all. A conflict is a file where the tool can't figure out how to merge two versions and therefore has to offload it to a human.
I've also heard on the Internet that git is better than svn at doing merges, but everybody I know who has used both git and svn in real production environments says the opposite.
In my company we use svn. I did consider moving us to git or - more likely - Mercurial (the hg user interface is more similar to svn so that would make the transition easier), but I found out that it is really easy to make a directory both an svn working copy and a git/hg repository just by using setting ignore properties so I can do local commits and still have a central svn repo.
I'm not an expert on any compiler code, but I thought that gcc was actually comparatively new, as it used to be called "egcs", and was different from what used to be "gcc", and was a newer project. At some point, the gcc team decided to simply adopt egcs as the new gcc and dump the original as it was too old and crufty.
If you call 1997 new, then yes it was new. Except that egcs was based on a gcc snapshot.

Why is this a bad way? You're writing the month first, which doesn't change often, then your writing down the day which does change often. It makes perfect sense.
So you Americans put the year first then...
I find it surprising he was astonished since he was trying to emulate DEC Pathworks which was itself an attempt to provide DOS networking services to IBM PCs from VMS servers and was based on Lan Manager which is what SMB grew out of.
I don't understand the business model of renting hashing out to people. Either its profitable so you effectively lose money by renting it out,
Not true. It might be profitable for people elsewhere but not for you or for people who already have a data centre to put the mining rigs in, but not for you.
or its not profitable so noone in their right minds would rent it off you!
And you can't sell kit to people not in their right minds because.... ?

If the "new site" had been designed by competent programmers,
And you think the old one was?
Except it was. You know, given that Alan Turing kind of designed the thing.
No he didn't, it was designed by Tommy Flowers.
Colossus wasn't Turing complete either.
No. Colossus was programmable but it wasn't Turing complete.
Previews are adverts.
If the guy had been texting during the actual movie, it's pretty antisocial, but it's still not a reason to kill him.
It's more likely he would have backed down as soon as things started getting heated.
All 6502 opcodes are three characters long e.g. LDA (load accumulator), ASL (arithmetic shift left). So the opcodes you are thinking of are the AHL and FKU opcodes.
The second gen Macbook Pro is supported with Mavericks. In fact, the only Macbook Pros not supported seem to be the original 32 bit only ones.
The cost of feathers has risen, even down is up!
