Thank you for the perspective. I hate cybersquatters, but assuming that Uzi was not cybersquatting and legitimately using the name, why wouldn't he ask for a few mil? I don't know if that is what he did ask for, but I sure would do the same if some multinational corporation suddenly wanted dotancohen.com from me. Note that I am not cybersquatting dotancohen.com but rather using it for the purpose for which domain names were intended, as was Uzi doing with nissan.com.

Thanks. I did not know that.

Thank you, that is an interesting bit to know.

Obviously he wrote it in Emacs. In VIM it would have been four keypresses and a macro, 5.2 seconds from the bash prompt to a.out.

Not necessary does not mean that it _should_ be eliminated. I personally find it bad form, because it makes the intent of the code less clear. Even in PHP, the intent of the code becomes much clearer when return is specified. It is a code smell, and it only gets smellier as the application gets larger.

For the trivial program above, I wouldn't have even mentioned anything, though.

Go ask Uzi Nissan what Nissan Motor Corporation did (is doing) to him over the name that he registered circa 1996. Uzi Nissan, having a computer shop, bought the domain name of his last name. Never mind that he _also_ had a car dealership called Nissan Motors in the 1970s, when Nissan Motor Corporation was still called Datsun.

That is exactly what he said in the following paragraph:

Welcome to /.. Yes, you'll meet some real people here who you've heard of before. But don't ever read the articles.

Actually, in 6 more months Firefox 24 is expected to be released, which will be an ESR version and thus enjoy longer support.

No, the GP is saying that humans evolved on the Earth, and changing the Earth on short timescales will affect his offspring who cannot evolve quickly enough. I personally feel the same way.

I really do not care what particular composition of gasses surround whatever rock that my offspring live on, nor the temperature of those gasses. I'm just concerned that the composition of gasses and their temperature are suitable for my offspring to live and grow food in.

Quite the opposite, but I wish (ha, and a pony) that those with a political agenda would not misrepresent science as being in anyone's 'interest' or misquoting scientific papers to show one thing when the full results show something completely different.

From that PDF:

So that PDF which tries to convince us that releasing carbon is a non-issue due to soil erosion cannot account for the other 90% of the carbon in the atmosphere? And it does not even mention the other ill aspects of soil erosion.

No, soil erosion can only 'correct' 10% of the 2005 level of the problem. Hint: world carbon emissions have _increased_ since 2005, and then there is the other 90% of the problem to deal with.

Thank you. That is an interesting use case, one that I had never encountered. Obviously, if Apache has been configured to share memory across processes then seeing it do so is not clear sign of infection. However, if Apache has not been explicitly configured to do so, then seeing Apache sharing memory with another process is a real red flag.

Your linked blog is great, there are quite a few gems in there. Thanks!

Here is how to make sure you are not one of the infected sites: Compile and run this:

If you don't want to vet that, you can get a first-aproximation with "ipcs", just look for the Apache PID, which you can get from "ps aux | grep apache2".

Yes, you are correct. Reviewing the chronology of the big bang on Wikipedia, I see that I had all kinds of mistakes in the order for which events happened. Thank you for correcting me!

We correlate the propagation of disturbances in the fluid medium which immerses us as "sound". Do you not think that disturbances propagated in the fluid medium that existed moments after the big bang?
