Comment Re:I use them quite a lot (Score 5, Informative) 266

Close tabs to the right can be achieved by clicking the first tab, shift clicking the last and then control-w (or -w on mac) since I found out about this (from reading the bug report at https://bugs.chromium.org/p/ch...) I'm less upset about the menu items going away.

Comment I have bad Karma for my only ever comment here. (Score 1) 293

Everytime I come to slashdot rather than the rss feed I see "Karma: Bad" blazing near my name at the top. All because of my one and only comment on one story, which was on topic and I thought not bad. It made me not want to dig myself deeper and ever comment again.

Simpler "Hello World" Demonstrated In C 582

Posted by kdawson from the non-obfuscated dept.
An anonymous reader writes "Wondering where all that bloat comes from, causing even the classic 'Hello world' to weigh in at 11 KB? An MIT programmer decided to make a Linux C program so simple, she could explain every byte of the assembly. She found that gcc was including libc even when you don't ask for it. The blog shows how to compile a much simpler 'Hello world,' using no libraries at all. This takes me back to the days of programming bare-metal on DOS!"

California Legislature Declares "Cuss-Free" Week 262

Posted by samzenpus from the f#*k-those-f@^king-f%&kers dept.
shewfig writes "The California legislature, which previously tried to ban incandescent light bulbs, just added to the list of banned things ... swear words! Fortunately, the measure only applies for the first week of March, and compliance is voluntary — although, apparently, there will be a 'swear jar' in the Assembly and the Governor's mansion. No word yet on whether the Governator intends to comply."
