Submission + - A compileable love story (apestaart.org)

fons writes: Who said nerds can't be romantic? This guy programmed a short love story. It reads like a well commented piece of code and you can compile it too. In the spirit of the season, it shows how beautiful love (and C) can be! So go ahead and 'make love', then run it. You might have to 'killall love' after running as it will consume 100% CPU. There seems to be a buffer overflow in the program, but you can't really valgrind love, can you ? You sort of have to trust it, as the author says. Patches accepted in the comments!

Here's what we have in Belgium:

- The government imposes every operator to have an affordable version of their broadband access. Mostly speed is limited to ADSL speeds of 5years ago and download caps only allow normal surfing/mailing. So most people can afford this.
- If you are unemployed or live on benefits you get this "light" broadband at cheaper prices.
- Once every few years the government will sponsor cheap PC/broadband bundles.

Off course these measures only work because every house is connected to a cable and/or ADSL network.

In Europe we also have GM. They're called Opel/SAAB here.

All Opel/SAAB cars have modern competitive diesel engines. So apparently, GM DID invest in new tech.

The question is, why did they not sell those engines/cars in the US?

Maybe because US consumers were not interested? I'm not being arrogant here, that's a real question. I really don't understand.

It's funny.  Laugh.
