Maybe if you forgot that this is a "C" program and tried to build using C++ which would produce mangled names. This works in VS 2008 Express with the modification from an empty console application to use the C compiler instead of C++.

int rand(void); int printf(const char * f, ...); int main() { ten: printf("%c", (rand() % 2) ? 47 : 92); goto ten; }

GCC also compiles the above code to an a.out without further modification if you place it in a file named "main.c" and run "gcc main.c". Or even:

echo 'int rand(void); int printf(const char * f, ...); int main() { ten: printf("%c", (rand() % 2) ? 47 : 92); goto ten; }' | gcc -x c -

Microsoft Says IE9 Blocks More Malware Than Chrome 226

CSHARP123 writes "In a move that's sure to raise some eyebrows, Microsoft today debuted a new web site designed to raise awareness of security issues in web browsers. When you visit the site, called Your Browser Matters, it allows you to see a score for the browser you're using. Only IE, Chrome, or Firefox are included — other browsers are excluded. Not surprisingly, Microsoft's latest release, Internet Explorer 9, gets a perfect 4 out of 4. Chrome or Firefox do not even come close to the score of 4. Even though the web site makes it easy for users to upgrade to the latest version of their choice of browser, Roger Capriotti hopes people will choose IE9, as it blocks more malware compared to Chrome or Firefox." Of note in the Windows Team post is that the latest Microsoft Security Intelligence Report discovered that 0-day exploits account for a mere tenth of a percent of all intrusions. Holes in outdated software and social engineering account for the majority of successful attacks.

You're arguing semantics. You apparently haven't been seeing the commercials about getting movies /before/ Netflix through U-Verse. U-Verse competes with Internet video services. They provide a mix of free samples and paid downloads on demand.

It doesn't matter if they deliver it by carrier pigeon, fleet of station wagons or multicast over twisted pairs of copper. They are providing the same demand based service in addition to their broadcast streams.

Not that it matters, but they also push a DVR service as well that can stream from a central DVR to STBs (setup-top box). The DVR's search feature integrates the broadcast lineup (so you can record it) and on demand offerings (so you can buy it).
