"Lost" bitcoins would just cause all of the other bitcoins to effectively increase in value. It's really only a problem for the person losing the bitcoins and a (small) positive for the rest of the bitcoin community. It's conceivable that m

In my experience dealing with a similar bug (see my other post in the thread), the vendors will immediately assume it's not their problem. They spent a long time "showing" us that a different version of the Linux kernel didn't exhibit the p

I ran into a similar problem with an Intel motherboard about 10 years ago. We had problems when some NFS traffic would end up getting stalled. Our NFS server would use UDP packets larger than the MTU and they would end up getting fragmented

I've actually been looking at Amazon recently and found the number of positions available overwhelming. I think I would do well in dozens of the positions posted. I don't know if I should be applying to a bunch of positions to get a better

How about the opposite? A company I turned down a job offer for has been contacting me every about every three months asking if I had changed my mind. I just recently told them to please stop contacting me and I'll contact them if I change

sys/queue.h It has singly-linked list, lists, simple queues, tail queues and circular queues. If you're comfortable with Linux kernel style lists, then sys/queue.h will be familiar, and it's shipping in glibc and on BSD systems (where it wa
