It is now safe to say that the smartphone is more than just a hype, now. As they become bigger, the legal duet between Samsung and Apple will become a threesome. I wonder how they will keep up there.

It is the same as people who keep shouting 'oh my gawdd', while that is just a very old-fashioned book from about two thousand years ago. Some things just make it into classics.

Valgrind is a useful tool to get a profile run, and build up a call tree. As such, you can find the functions that are never called and can be removed as such. Moreover, you can patch a few memory leaks in the bargain.

It was a poor attempt at a Star Wars reference...

THAT'S NO MOON!!!

Fortran is a very simple language to get to grips with the basics: For loops, if statements, subroutines. These concepts are the same in almost every language. That way, the language does nog stad in the way of learning the concepts. Nothing like classes & objects, pointer magic, etc. Things that belong to a course aimed at somebody who has mastered the basics.

Fortunately, the last politicians who have grown up in our hippie days are retiring, and hopefully we will have a more realistic outlook on politics in the years to come. Our left wing parties are growing smaller and smaller every election. There is hope.

The very memory makes me duck for cover... or at least ear plugs.

Lefties are in a knot here. Because on the one hand they want freedom of religion, and on the other hand they want equality of genders. What we have fought for, and are still fighting for, for over a century. They have not yet realized they cannot have both at the same time. It is very difficult for them to chose...

That was awesome. My father always thought I broke it, when I Degaussed. My mom was even in too much of a general panic to think anything at all, when I did it.

In Europe it is still kadeng, kadeng, kadeng, everywhere. There is even a song written about it! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v...

He's 24. His answer will probably be: 'Hold on a sec., let me find an app for that.'

Good old matrix printers.
