now if only they'll put some damn memory in whatever device they announce. "1 gig of memory!" does not mean 256mb RAM and 768mb swap. that's probably the biggest thing that annoyed me about the n900. it was outdated on release day. (that and the goofy ass 3 row keyboard. guys... splurge for a digit row for christ's sake. let us use something resembling a true qwerty setup. having to pop open a menu or remap the keyboard is a complete fail. use the g1 if you need a reference.)

i will be thinking very hard before i adopt meego. if the device is anemic i'll probably just save my duckets and end up toughing it out with maemo.

this won't stop the illegal alien on his 4th DWI. (5th?)

hefty install cost, monthly fees, and a camera? fuck it. if the judge thinks there's a risk just go ahead and leave them in jail -- maybe release a few nonviolent offenders if there's no room.

i believe that the AC was pointing out that "C" as defined by "the standard" (whether that be ANSI or ISO) is pretty thin in terms in built-ins.

even old hands can find interesting tidbits once in a while though. wanna fuck with someone? include and use this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iso646.h

"I've found these are often the same people who advise C programmers to 'always compile in non-optimized debugging mode' because they cannot comprehend their program's behavior when there isn't a trivial mapping of line/statement to machine instructions in the step debugger."

usually people advise that because it makes it easier for them to track down shitty bugs that inevitably work their way in due to decisions that were previously made (be that design, time management, or other) and often out of their control.

C isn't your friend. it won't hold your hand. if someone wants their debugging symbols let them have them. once the code is mature and stable then you crank on -O and remove -g
