Whoever is paying them. Obama & Romney spent more than a billion dollars each during the 2012 elections. Where do you think the money came from?

Will help your understanding. There is no buffer overrun.

This is a US specific problem - being charged for receiving calls or text messages.

The problem with very long passwords is that there is a decent chance that you will type one out of 20 characters wrong (password's aren't echoed on the screen) and you won't know what exactly was wrong. And then you start typing 20 characters all over again and it may happen again.

I'll choose an impossibly hard password (which doesn't have to be changed for 2 years) & write it down and stick it somewhere convenient.

You have missed the malloc call. See what is being passed as size to the malloc call. That will show you that the it does not cross the size allocated by the malloc call (the malloc for this call - not everything allocated by malloc).

Yes. It's a buffer overread. But if did not go beyond the memory allocated by malloc.

No, it wasn't. Sorry.

It did not read more memory than allocated.

Second, there needs to be an emphasis on using languages that are not susceptible to buffer overrunning

Heartbleed was not really a buffer overrun problem.

All this concern over suffering of someone you are planning to kill. It really strikes me as silly

I think this about people fighting for humane treatment of animals before killing them.

However, for people - it's different - we have laws to not torture them.

Can you point to an example of how your container is more performant than the STL?

It would be stupid to chose your profession based on something which has low probability of happening.

Ok - Columbus invented America. Happy now?

I used to love Outlook Express for usenet (NNTP). I preferred to every other newsreader I have tried. Thunderbird even today is terrible for NNTP. The only problem with OE was that it didn't do quoting correctly. But there was a free 3rd party fix available for that. The Outlook Express Live (or whatever else it's called) which is available with Windows Live Essentials is just not as good as Outlook Express.

BTW, I used XP till March 2011 before moving to Windows 7.
