I'm still having trouble seeing the value of an IDE. When programming, all I'm doing is editing text and occasionally running an external program. what does an IDE have that makes it so valuable? (Honest question! I've used IDEs in the past

I feel the same way. Even though I'm gainfully employed, I'm not comfortable spending much more than I already have. But any chance I get to support developers that release Linux games, I'll take it.

Why not simply address the complaints and eliminate all of the problems that people complain about? Oh, right. That'd be the right thing to do. This is about silencing criticism, not maximizing customer satisfaction. Never mind.

Why does this matter? If you're performing several commands with `sudo`, by default it will remember your password for several minutes. There really is no good reason to log in as root except in exigent circumstances. If you think you need

I'm debating it. I've been in contact with a local ISP about what's available, and I'm not too keen on having my bandwidth cut in half for $10/mo more and looking for a new Cisco 1700-, 1800-, or 1900-series router. But I don't want to keep

I would love to switch ISPs, if only to get away from Comcast's ridiculous caps. But in my area, although there's a bundle of fiber running not 250 feet from my apartment, it's well over $1k for setup and the monthly fee, and the only DSL p

I confess it would be interesting to see what happens were SOPA/PIPA to pass: As companies fold left and right and unemployment skyrockets... Would SOPA/PIPA supporters still claim they've done good for the economy?

The DNS provision was NOT pulled. Smith has simply chosen to delay its implementation . It's still in there, it just won't come into effect until "after a study has been done on its effects."

So... They use stock price as an indicator of performance, and stock price goes up when options are awarded to executives. Brillant deduction. Why don't they look at other factors like production volume or quality, or at indicators like pro

I'm still waiting to hear back from another registrar about transferring my domain - they don't yet support .de transfers, but are more than willing to take my money. :)

Given that more than two thirds of the Senate support PROTECT IP and almost four fifths of the House support SOPA in its current, unamended form, blocking it with a filibuster in the Senate is going to be difficult at best (since cloture

I'm sure going to try. I only have dealings with GoDaddy and Comcast; and while I can't get away from Comcast, I'm going to do my damnedest to get away from GoDaddy.

It's more likely that during interviews it became clear that the jurors knew about nullification and they were excluded from the pool for that reason. It then probably dwindled the size of the pool enough that the Judge became concerned abo

There are no void pointers in that example. At all. All of it builds off of `void( * )(int * )`, which is a pointer to a function taking a pointer to `int` and returning `void`.

There is also an non-insignificant number of patents that expressly cover an algorithm that would have been found in most computer science textbooks - verbatim - since the '70s. One notable example is the Quicksort algorithm (US 5,175,857

It's neither novel nor non-obvious. It's a minor variation on a well-known and oft-used algorithm. Carmack himself said as much when he started talking about the algorithm.

Luckily, everything from /ref= on is optional, and the alphanumeric code that comes after product is an actual product code. Replace it with the 9-digit ISBN for a book, and you'll get the book, for example.

The trouble with "voting with your dollars" is that it doesn't, and can't, work. When the vast majority of consumers simply consume without consideration of their own rights, there's no way for those of us with the wisdom to stand up for ou

This looks like it was compiled with `-O0 -g`. It'll be a lot slimmer with `-O1` or even `-Os`. Edit: In fact, GCC 4.6.1 compiles it down to two function calls and some stack operations - about 15 instructions in all.

If you open it in Emacs, by default (at least it did when I toyed with 21) it leaves the trailing newline off.
