I really don't get it.

How does this differ from Goggle's embedded JS (AdSense, Analytics) ? Why no one seems to worry about privacy on other sites, but insists that Facebook has severe privacy issues ?

If you're all concerned about privacy, refrain from putting that information on the net. And that's true for *all* service providers out there, not only FB, not only Google, not only Microsoft. All.

Besides, the /. article summary is completely biased. There is absolutely no reference to privacy concerns on the original article (except in comments).

For me, having the opportunity to put a FB-enable commenting system on my sites is added value.

Arduino is actually programmed in C++, with a bit of help from IDE to generate function prototypes.

Just to let you know.

... were running what ? I'd bet some sort of Windows version.

Mac people don't even know how to curse. So I guess it leaves us Linux guys the only ones cursing themselves, not the computer.

I'd say: whose debt is that ?

You can't mess with China. Because if they want, they can ruin US Economy.

How in hell would computers be able to do *that* ?

Better sequencing every living being's ADN.

Unless, of course, that simulator is written in Flash. I think we can manage do do that in flash, no ?

Well, NAT saved us from a certain doom, and also provides extra security (might act as a firewall).

I don't see IPv6 deployed 100% any time soon. Increasing the number NATed Internet users might be the only feasible solution, at least in short term.

I have [Internet], therefore I am [God].

I don't think people realise that less than 2% of Linux users will actually download, configure and compile its own kernel.
So it's actually irrelevant if changelogs or announcements depict whether high-risk security fixes were or were not applied.
You, as a Linux Distribution user (Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat, SuSe, you name it) do not care about it. You just want to upgrade your system. And you will - if your distro maintainer sees any urgency to push this or that fix.
And kernel maintainers (distro) happen to know exactly what's on the table. They follow the mailing lists, they follow bugtrackers.
Even if a bug shows up relevant enough to cause panic among everyone, no one will update their systems by hand. Instead they will rely on "standard maintenance procedures", like running their favourite distro-specific upgrade program.
Just like M$ Windows people do. And Apple. And just like everyone else.
People still use IE6. People still use W95. People still use OS2.
You are all paranoid if you think otherwise.

Arduino is actually coded in C++, not C.

Just for clarification.

"The most important rule is "Don't Panic"."

The second one: "Install Linux"

(Douglas would be proud of this one).

Yes, I know. Despite switch from "weirding way" to "weirding modules", it's a fantastic film. There are other incoherences with original novel - but you can find those in almost every novel-based movie (see LOTR for example).

" he must try to delete the images associated with David Lynch's 1984 version of Dune from the public's consciousness "

This means no Dune, at least for me. And I actually don't want to forget Lynch's version - it is one of the best movies I ever saw (first time when I was 12 or 13 years old).

IMHO some remakes are not meant to exist. This might be just one of those [ Another one would be a Cronenberg's Existenz remake ].

What will happen ? Probably some high-speed movie with state-of-the-art photography and visual effects, a typical Hollywoodesque movie made for profit. Not a real movie, from my perspective, a movie that I'd go and watch.

Anyway, just my opinion.

Pretty much all of assemblers I know work the same way (despite syntax). You can also add macro functionalities to some, using external preprocessors.
So, if anyone can elucidate me, how does this MASM differ from NASM ? And how does its syntax differs from NASM and AT&T ?
I use AT&T syntax a lot (gas), embedded in gcc (for microcontrollers). Do I get any real benefit by using other variants? If so, which benefits ?

I already posted a comment on their site depicting that. Guess - the comment did not appear so far.

"Your comment might take a while to show due to technical reasons"... sure.
