FTFY
It's amazing how the joke got old so quick. I guess you should have stopped around the third iteration.
And before you come criticize this comment, wait for Bennett's.
IIRC, the license explicitly forbids running it under a VM... though in my opinion if you paid for the crap you should be able to run it whatever way you want.
But, as I said, Windows is just a waste of hard disk space to me, be it a partition or VDI.
Why didn't you just order a hamburger?
Because nobody offers that option. I would gladly request a refund for the Windows 7 that came with my notebook if I could. The only reason I keep its partition is because I paid for that crap, and just "in case I need it"... but it's been 3 years so far without booting it. I guess I'll just wipe it and give more space to my Linux partition whenever I get some time to do it.
Does that apply even if you're scratching your head while saying the false things (or the "least untruthful things") intentionally?
And it was fa-bu-lous!!!
Double spends for anyone who can connect to both sides of the network. Essentially, there will be two ledgers, an International ledger and a Russian one. If you spend on the Russian ledger, the International ledger will still have your money. When the network rejoins, whatever ledger has the most hashing power behind it will be chosen as the correct one, and all the transactions from the other one will be retried on the new global ledger. If the network saw a new transaction spending a previous transaction's outputs, it would be rejected, as well as any spends referencing that transaction, and so on.
Thank you, that's exactly what I wanted to know.
This happened already.
I guess I've missed the news, any links for my lazy ass?
Bitcoin sounds like a nice investment for dictators willing to further screw their populaces.
What happens to the block chain if the network is split, as in this case?
E.g., would you rather try to see which bit is set in a string like "0b001011010011011101011100" or have it broken up like "0b0010_1101_0011_0111_0101_1100" or "0b00101101_00110111_01011100". If it's a bit field, you may even want "0b001011_010011011_01_0_111_0_0" if breaking it into fields has meaning.
Such a small change to help readability...
If you're really interested in readability you would probably define those bits, like:
#define HIGHSTUFF (0b001011 << 17)
#define NOTSOHIGHSTUFF (0b010011011 << 8)
and then or them together.
Alternatively you could define a macro for your bit field, like:
#include
#define bitfield(a,b,c,d) 0x##a##b##c##d
int main() {
printf("%x", bitfield(f,f,f,f));
}
The feature is actually working! I had totally forgotten Bing existed!
Meta-discussions have to happen somewhere... where do you suggest?
For extra nerdiness, 0x853204FA81 is prime.
Uh oh, somebody got his contradictions/hypocrisies rubbed the wrong way.
Thanks. Btw, did you try to factor it?
