iLok has been extremely effective at stopping cracks or at least slowing them down enough to where the software is obsolete by the time a crack appears. The pirates don't have access to this software in the first place. We can debate t

Why is it easier to buy juul pods than a pack of cigarettes? And I'm not aware of any place in the states you need to be over 18 to buy a lighter - and as a former dumbass teenager, I don't think kids have difficulty in figuring o

The false-sharing macro in the example expands to __attribute__((alligned(/* etc / )) or __declspec(align(/ etc*/). Is there a reason these are preferred over the alignas specifier introduced in C++ 11?
