If you're going to make a Star*-themed April 1st, that's fine by me, but at least try to get some sense of chronology.
hungHi = (word & 0xFFFF0000) >> 16;
FYI, this is pretty bad. It does exactly the same as:
hungHi = word >> 16;
It is not safe if for some reason word is signed (compiler bug on an exotic platform or some programmer resolving some signed/unsigned warning by doing the wrong thing):
((unsigned)0x80000000) >> 16 = 0x00008000
((signed)0x80000000) >> 16 = 0xFFFF8000
Instead, you should use:
hungHi = (word >> 16) & 0xFFFF;
You have ZERO environmental control in a crawlspace.
Plus, he's going to put windows in that crawlspace, like it's going to help !
I'm rooting for "Internet 365". Internet... on the Cloud !

Uh.. what did my old graphing calculator use?
BASIC-like says wikipedia, but I wouldn't want to use that for something serious.
we're not suggesting that Microsoft should do anything silly like try to integrate Excel support into Minecraft
TOO LATE !
On an online credit card purchase you get a OTP token generated for that transaction? How is it implemented?
My bank (in France) sends me an SMS with the OTP.
It's amazing just how fast it runs on a five-year-old i7 950 PC with 16GB of RAM.
Yep, almost as fast as the original's code on a i386 with 4MB of RAM. Impressive.
can tell fads from technologies that actually endure
And are therefore defined in hindsight.
Critical thinking, not buying anything some software vendor is willing to sell you, is one thing, and betting on the right horse every time is quite another.
At some point, you can't miss the latter by being conservative and only adopting "new" technologies when they're already mature (now, if you had some sort of almanac...). Also to note, "better" does not always mean "successful".
"Well, do you actually take on board the concerns of system administrators and enterprise users?" - what do you class RHEL as?
FTFA:
So we started writing Systemd, and Red Hat didn’t like it at all. Red Hat management said: no, we’re going for Upstart, don’t work on that. So I said, OK, I’ll work on it in my free time.
I class RHEL as "not listened to".
Television is télévision.
Borrowing from French télévision, coined by a Rusian scientist.
Telephone is téléphone.
Electricity is électricité.
At least that one is right
And Frenchs don't have a word for "entrepreneur", while you're at it.
Maybe you should have chosen better exemples.
English has mostly celtic, german and latin roots, while French has mostly latin and celtic roots, so obviously they share a lots of similar words that Icelandic doesn't, as it's a North-Germanic language, which doesn't mean that Icelandic "borrows" from Norwegian, instead they share common roots.
And did I mention that I don't even *OWN* an TV?
Yes, yes you did !
Cardboard, paper, scissors, felt-tip pens, friends to experiment with. You don't need a computer to develop and experiment game mechanics.
But I have never seen anything but universal hatred for Oracle.
Oracle haters are hyperbolic and hateful.
Oracle users are factual and desperate.
