Submission + - Linus Torvalds: "GCC 4.9.0 seems to be terminally broken" (techienews.co.uk)

hypnosec writes: Linus Torvalds has called GCC 4.9.0 compiler ‘pure and utter sh*t’ and 'terminally broken' after a random panic was discovered in a load balance function in Linux 3.16-rc6. “Ok, so I'm looking at the code generation and your compiler is pure and utter *shit*”, in one of the mails on Linux kernel mailing list. “gcc-4.9.0 seems to be terminally broken”, he added further. The issue that invited such comments from Torvalds is to do with the compiler apparently spilled a constant and incorrect stack red-zoning on x86-64 code generation.

OK, and this is part of climate change how? They have done it for years, but now it's part of "climate change"?

Right. We do the anti-science thing in slashdot these days dont we. *sigh*

(Some marine biologists joke that climate change should be could 'sea change' because it tends to dispropirtionately affect oceans, and a 'sea change' might be your career path if you do climate science and the fundamentalist right regains power and starts defunding evolutionary biologists and climate physics again).

Anyone that disagrees with AGW is anti-science? ...sigh... .

I used to be believe in AGW since I never bothered to actually question it and just accepted what I was told. After studying it from many angles and keeping as an open mind as possible, the only rational conclusion that I could come up with is that it's a religiopolitical disembowelment of Real Science and it's actually causing real harm in that it's destroying rational & sane environmentalism that actually does matter.

There are a growing number of Scientists who are starting to see the AGW movement for what it is. Many of them won't be able to publicly admit it for fear of repercussions, but the tide is turning and hopefully this current "dark age" of Science will be coming to end soon.
