Pointer arithmetic? Whose dumb-ass idea is that? http://www.neurophys.wisc.edu/...

Just sell ink and toner at a less-than exhorbitant price, and say so. State the real price per page. I'd buy that. None of the others do, because they all use overpriced ink to subsidize cut-rate disposable printers.

Yum, looks like mango, tastes and smells like durian! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D...

That would explain the stationary backbenchers on cable...

Do you really not know the difference between a clutch and a clutch pedal?

So that would be 48.5 megaSmoot/semester, based on the conventional 39 hour semester

Key question: do you need to work with MS Exchange? If so, ask yourself whether you have a suitable replacement for MS Outlook. Pretty much anything else, office workers can adjust to, but most live in Outlook. Not being able to identify coworkers, set up meetings, in the familiar way is damn-near an impossible sell. Thunderbird etc isn't really a convincing answer. Of course, if you moved all that onto their personal smartphones first, then the proposition changes...

Nah, there's no exemption for roman alphabet spelling, they get that wrong too. Not long ago there was a US Secretary of State with a French name "Boucher" didn't get pronounced "booshay", but "bowtshur". This guy must have had the whole of the corps diplomatique giggling inside.

So when Johann Cmythe is wanted, the various combinations of Jan, Jon, John, Joanne, Jane, Joan, Smythe, Schmidt, Shmitt, and Smith will all be queued up at the gate, waiting their turn for a cavity search. That'll work!

Yeah, but the formula used to compress pi down to one bit sucks at compressing e.

So we're looking for the C. elegans of software?

Well, Linus uses a broader definition of kernel than is customary, referring to a monolithic (macro) kernel. If you really seek elegance in OS code, you start by looking at microkernels, stripped of all the device-dependent clutter. Harmony, for instance was a mere 20 kbyte kernel, even on 68K architectures. http://books.google.com/books?id=xvOpC0_r14wC&pg=PA100 http://www.researchgate.net/publication/234826460_Harmony_as_an_object-oriented_operating_system This led to the even more succinct MQX, which is embedded in quajjillions of devices.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MQX
