This. I really don't like Apple products because of arbitrary lock down, but I do have to give you that they came up with the best touch interface I have ever seen.

The fact that it is patent free is a selling point for the company that manufactures the device, not for the end user. End user doesn't have to deal with patent licensing or any of that crap, they just either have the product or they don't.

But how is that different from su or sudo? Your su/sudo target account doesn't have to be root.

That means he would have killed prisoner every 4 seconds for four days, non-stop. I go out on a limb and say that it's pretty safe to assume that the number is a bit on the high side.

Those of us that have worked in medium or large networks know how difficult life can be with NAT. It is one thing to have the NAT between your internal network and internet, but something quite different when you have overlapping RFC1918 ranges within your network.

During the past 10 years company I work for has gone through 4 huge mergers and a lot of smaller ones and in every case there have been problem with overlapping address spaces. In those cases you first and foremost goal will be renumbering the conflicting address spaces and quite obviously this wouldn't be necessary if everybody will be using public addresses. During the last merger we renumbered 100k+ workstations, servers and phones.

Anycast, not multicast.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't SDXC defined by SD Association, not by Microsoft. Microsoft is one member of the association, I give you that, but there are several others as well. Unless Microsoft somehow coerced the association to select exFAT, I consider this to be a bad move by the association rather than Microsoft.

Exactly. There isn't anything inherently evil about GOTO, you just need to make sure you don't misuse it.

I just hate when some people (no, I don't necessarily mean you) think that GOTO is somehow evil by definition and must be avoided at all cost.

GOTOs don't produce bad code, bad programmers do.

But CALL is equivalent of PUSH/JMP ;)
