It's unfortunate it does not also say that these scripts should be fire-and-forget. Compiling some of the more complicated "GPL" projects is an exercise in frustration, requiring anything from specific OS versions, specific versions of build tools (that are no longer in repositories) and of course whining to the developers enough until they give in and tell you what is missing from their wiki compile-it-yourself page.

Really?

1) Unlock taskbar
2) Rightclick taskbar, select toolbars/links
3) Rightclick on the new toolbar, disable "title" and "text"
4) Drag where you want it
5) Add links

Because that extra $0.02 profit now disappeared into the pockets of the insanely rich, instead of the original seller. In other words, HFT only serves to make the rich richer and widen the gap between rich and poor.

You know what happens when that gap grows too big?

Yeah, they were completely unwilling to shell out for 3d glasses for everyone as well... oh wait

Nah, there will be a ton of overlap in the channels that good compressors should be able to take advantage of.

I do act ethically. By not paying for music I help reduce the gap between the rich and the poor.

Dunno, I watched the Ring movies at 48 fps, and I thought they were hilarious

Not really, as 'waard' doesn't stand for 'worth' in this case, but instead for 'innkeeper'

It's nice that you managed to convince your employer to pay you for a false sense of security.

Yeah, all my previous single player games were swamped with botters and cheaters... oh wait...

Last one should be 2.8... the double time is increasing, but not as much as you make it out to be.

Totally agree... if they want to sue Google for fragmenting Java, perhaps they should drag them to court for that... and not for patent and copyright infringement.

If Oracle had any sense at all, they'd strike a deal with Google to unfragment Java, it would get them more money in the long run then trying to sue everyone instead, creating uncertainty in Java's future.

Yeah, it's just a small niche language that barely is used at all by businesses with investments to protect...

int max(int c, int d);
int min(int c, int d);

int max(int c, int d) {
                return c > d ? c : d;
}

int min(int c, int d) {
                return c d ? c : d;
}

Checksumming... will happily checksum that bit-error in cache if you donot have ECC memory -- fact is, data on disk is already heavily checksummed by the drive itself and on the busses its transmitted (otherwise we wouldn't have modern computers). Data going corrupt (unnoticed) happens mostly in main memory these days.

Transparent compression... magically makes your drive bigger so you can fit more text files on it! It won't do you any good for any of the REAL storage consumers though: music, video, games, pictures... as ALL of those are in compressed formats already.
