So, it's Los Angeles?
Kinda sounds more like Tokyo. You are in a maze of twisty little subway lines, all different.

Coming late to this party, I can only share this one datapoint: If I recollect right, it was the hardware on the Burroughs Large Systems that was memory-safe. Arrays were done as Segment Descriptors, and if you indexed outside the segment it raised an exception. Byte-addressed (for 6-bit, 8-bit, etc bytes) were done as "String Descriptors" that referred to the Segment Descriptor.
The only other hardware I know of that did this lately was the UCSB P-system; there may be others since then.
I was still working at Symbolics back then. We thought it a little silly that the input focus followed the mouse.
Now I sort of prefer it that way...
"Needs fixed" etc. is a regionalism, mostly in the "German Belt" from Eastern Penna. thru Southern Michigan. At least that's what I recall from Grammar Girl's survey a while back.
You mean he wasn't really angry, or he wasn't really crazy?
If we can't trust old Bruce, we're all screwed. Though possibly we are anyway. But if he's an asset, he's pretty well disguised.
You talking about Hedy Lamarr here?
"Revoking its certificate" implies that the cert is somehow checked against a revoked list before it's run. Does this then preclude all offline or embedded app running?
What place would this be, and what law prevents others?
Sonic does not cap my bandwidth. The copper they rent from AT&T may cap my bandwidth, but upstream of Sonic's DSLAM in the AT&T CO it's all good.
Hi, Dane!
As I understand it, he speaks Swedish, being part of the Swedish-speaking Finnish minority. Swearing in Svensk is not nearly so mean...
Here I thought Linus was too young to be a grump old man.... maybe I was mistaken.
next we are going to have a candlelight service for lycos?
Who even owns Lycos any more? Last I heard Telefonica sold them off to some Korean investors who shut the place down to minimal size.
Whowhere (which they acquired to get MailCity, which became Lycos Mail) still exists but I can't imagine what people database it searches.
Actually AFAIK they were sent using 5-bit Baudot code since around the '20s. Could be off by a decade or two.
Hand-sent-and-received Morse went out a while back.
The answer is "mu". The question is broken.
Why do you still beat your wife? Why do Slashdotters hate (country they live in)? Why does the porridge bird lay its eggs in the air?
Old programmers never die, they just hit account block limit.
