How long until this becomes a malware feature too? I like what this guy is doing to ensure the x86 platform stays open, but who doesn't see malware loading its own keys?

Etherkiller, is that a power cord with the female end wired to a RJ45? I was wondering why my predecessor made that cable.
The only reason I haven't jumped ship already is that most of the alternatives have been violently Twitterized. I'm determined to think in full paragraphs. I just can't wait for the headline "Generation Z rediscovers the paragraph." Maybe if I'm lucky--and live long enough to see it--the paragraph will become retro cool.
Generation Z will never discover the paragraph. The closest they will come is strings of phrases and cliches loosely related to the same topic or train of thought. Generation Z perceives paragraphs as well as structured thought as work and therefore must be avoided. As you have observed, people adopt language use from their environment, and the fine literary, theatrical, and music arts which they have been exposed to include text messaging, Harry Potter, teenager sitcoms on Disney/Nick/ABC family, Hannah Montana and Lady Gaga--all of which can be published on twitter with little comprehension lost.
As for the recent editorial quality, I blame new management and the lack of cApiTaL punishment. It'd be nifty if trolls and trollish stories were punished by having their posts all capitalized via moderation, for example, every down vote causes another letter get capitalized. I know I'd gloss over articles and posts written in all caps. But it'd also be nifty if trolls were lynched.
I like how you think. Here are a few more I'd like to see that fit in the same vain:
1. Turkey, fishing pole, CBR suit, shallow spent fuel rod pool.
2. Tesla coil turkey.
3. Termite stuffing.
4. Re-entry turkey.
5. Hot aisle turkey.
6. Pavo para Plantar Solar 10 (Turkey from PS10).
7. Diffused turkey wafers. (I wonder if you could layer some stuffing traces...)
8. Turkey diamonds (if you can make diamonds from peanut butter, then why not turkey?)
That's where Japan is hiding its forty-meter battle robots, Godzilla, and crashed alien spaceships.
Same here... but my IMAP server is only 2 months old.
What are you talking about? According to your reasoning, I must believe 99% of the country is wrong. I can't imagine that I cannot find commonality with 99% of Americans.
Perhaps it is ignorance, single issue voters, stereotypes, and assuming absolute political polarity is what is wrong with American politics. In an actual discussion, I believe most voters could agree with some of the R's arguments just as voters could agree with some of the D's arguments. I doubt that the majority of voters stand firmly on political lines for all issues. I am disappointed to see that neither party is willing to field a presidential candidate that is willing to break party lines in a major way.
Do you mean to say Slippery Slope is proof by induction?
NO! Let me have my fantasy that JarJar was killed when Palpatine dissolved the Senate. Painfully, horrifyingly, and completely dissolved.
I owned a Windows phone and I hated it. I hated it so much I replaced it with a blackberry. I don't care how awesome the next Windows phone will be, I'm not buying another one.
I wish I had your calculator. Rouge hackers with physical access can cause a DOS attack by install masking tape over my calculator's solar cell and thus prevent useful operations until the tape is physically removed.
If there’s one thing that characterizes a weakly-ordered CPU, it’s that one CPU core can read values from shared memory in a different order than another core wrote them. That’s what I’d like to demonstrate in this post using pure C++11. For normal applications, the x86/64 processor families from Intel and AMD do not have this characteristic. So we can forget about demonstrating this phenomenon on pretty much every modern desktop or notebook computer in the world. What we really need is a weakly-ordered multicore device. Fortunately, I happen to have one right here in my pocket: The iPhone 4S fits the bill. It runs on a dual-core ARM-based processor, and the ARM architecture is, in fact, weakly-ordered.
As commenter Ross Smith posted, "a rash of bug reports in multithreaded libraries and applications (occurred) around April 2011--Just after the iPad2 was released. That was the first mass market hardware with a multicore ARM CPU, and it gave a lot of supposedly threadsafe code a workout it had never had before."
The blog comes complete with some psudo-code, C++11 snippets, and the resulting assembly generated by the compiler.
so you're saying I should get my own 900 number (US based number). It could work. Have a prompt like "by staying on the line, you agree to pay $50 a minute. If you do not agree, press 5 now." At the right price I'd enjoy receiving robocallers.
Cartridges.
Programs come installed on RAM bearing cartridges. Need more memory to save your photoshop files? well, you should have bought the Pro version with a larger SSD. Not enough RAM to render your CAD drawing? Too bad you didn't by the Enterprise Extended Edition, it came with 32Gb of RAM and a faster GPU.
Wouldn't this be clearer for the slashdot crowd?
int [] nameProjectFromDate( int [] date ){
int i = date.length -1
while( i > 1 ){
int tmp = date[i];
date[i--] = date[i];
date[i] = tmp;
}
return date;
}
(and yes I should have made it a void method that edited date directly, but you're not paying me to make good code.)
BLISS is ignorance.
