The math tends to be simpler in many cases if you start counting at 0. In C's case, a[1] is == a + 1 if a is an array of bytes.
Yeah, it's usually easier to start with 0 in pure math too. Remember that an N:th degree polynomial can be written as:
sum from n=0 to n=N of c_n*x^n, where c_n are constants
Here you avoid having to invent a special case for the constant (zeroth degree) term by exploiting the fact that x^0 = 1.
But TFA apparently got it wrong. '1' + 1 does not yield 11, it yields '11' like one would expect in a modern language. The odd thing is that '1' - 1 apparently yields 0.

Anyone who has ever accidentally revealed some private information by sharing a screen cap would have done that as a routine, especially if they know that thousands of people are standing in line to take proverbial shots at them.
It shows the account was specifically created for this, posted everything in 3 minutes, and was discovered and screencapped 12 seconds later without being logged in or doing a search. In other words: whosoever took the screencap knew about this the moment it was done.
Or maybe Anita Sarkeesian saw the first tweet from that account in her mentions, navigated to the tweeter's Twitter stream, decided to take a screencap, copied the URL, opened up a private tab and took the screen cap. She would have had 3 minutes to do that, and it only takes a few seconds to do.
(The reason why one should always take screen caps in private tabs or private windows is that it minimizes the risk that your screencap will inadvertently reveal any personal information about you.)
First of all this is not the evidence that I was asking for. I believe Zoe != Anita.
Secondly, this screen cap merely shows that some tweets were either posted by someone who had prepared themselves, or by a fast typist. Nothing more, nothing less. Very unimpressive.
The inability to go look for yourself means you're the kind of person who doesn't care at all about the facts. The facts are all over the place. Stop being lazy.
Making potentially defamatory claims without evidence is not just lazy, but possibly also illegal depending on where you live. Show your work.
Putin (Russia) already has everything they wanted. They wanted to secure the Crimea, and they did. He supports the "Separatists" to:
1-make the Nationalists happy at home (win elections).
2-force Ukraine to join a Russian trade block instead of the EU/west trade block (money).
3-prevent Nato from having military bases on his border(national defence).
Bingo on account of number 3. One of Putin's main goals is to push Nato back from its borders. This is the part that will be the most "interesting" in the years to come.
But if that is all he wants then why did he ask the Duma to give him free reign to invade all of Ukraine and not just Crimea and eastern Ukraine? It's not like he needed to boost his already sky-high approval ratings, or that he needs to open trade routes with the crippled economy of Ukraine.
Putin is what Americans would call a Patriotist. He believes in the inherent greatness of his great multi-ethnic country and its superior values of God and country and so on and so fourth. I believe Putin will use force to turn Ukraine into a vassal state, not to make the nationalists happy, but because Putin believes that it is the right and just thing to do and that in the end Ukrainians will be happier and better off as a vassal state of Moscow than they would as a member of the EU and Nato. You will be assimilated and you will like it!
Hmm.
Google play is down to about 30 minutes now between submitting the binary and updates beginning to roll out to users. You can do staged rollouts with stages of 0.5%, 1%, 2%, 5%, 10%, 20%, 50% and full rollout in order to detect major f-ups on your own part before they reach most users.
He's decidedly not mad in the sense of being irrational. Everything he does adds up towards his goal of strengthening the Russian state and the Russian military industrial complex. (Someone ought to investigate on Putin's and his family and friends stock ownership).
Russia has a strong hand the next 20-30 years, as the western world runs out of petroleum and has yet to create a replacement. Russia has huge untapped petroleum resources, which it can use as a bargaining chip. A country of merely 140 million, this may well be Russia's last chance to expand its borders until the end of history, so if that is Putin's goal then now is the time to play his hand as hard as he possibly dares to.
I would say that Putin might be a megalomaniac psychopath, but those are not irrational if they actually have great power. The time from now until he dies will be interesting.
yeah it's bullshit.
anyone in the business knows that they hardly test that it starts up without crashing and that's about it.
logging in etc - too much trouble.
What they probably do, and I'm guessing here, is fire up an automatic UI testing tool that navigates through the app and clicks at stuff in order to provoke crashes and other bugs. In addition to that I would imagine they run the app description and the app icon through some sort machine learning system that tries to identify blatant ripoffs, re-submissions of apps that have been banned in the past, etc. Apps that don't pass these tests are looked at manually.
Again, these are my guesses.
They also do background checks on new App store accounts to try to tie them to people who have been banned for breaking their TOS.
The bad app makers are of course one step ahead of this at any given point in time. It's not hard to think of ways of probing the system by using fake accounts.
Yeah well, I disrespectfully disagree. Randall Munroe is giant asshole with a rabid following of brainless morons. He only seems smart to you because you're so incredibly stupid.
Both you and grandparent are wrong.
Randal Munroe is evidence that if you draw stick figures for long enough you will eventually gain recognition.
I checked and it is EEPROM. And there are two EEPROM:s, I presume those are for redundancy in case one gets zapped.

Happy hunting.
I would imagine that the system probably boots itself off of a ROM chip that has a routine for receiving data from Earth and storing it in RAM and then flashing that data onto the flash chip.
If the rover does not boot from ROM then it is a miracle that it hasn't bricked itself yet.
