For a quick overview, I like http://www.makelinux.net/kernel_map/ - even though it's a bit dated (the map mentions kernel 2.6.36), I find it a good starting point for digging deeper.

I've played on Europe Server 1 and 3 and on both I've seen normal cars available (although from what I've seen ES1 kicks people back into singleplayer, if they attempt to use a car in multiplayer); ES3 supposedly allows to dr

I've seen normal cars (not trucks) on some servers, so there is certainly an option to drive such cars, although I don't know how they handle.

My favourite comment regarding Duff's Device is from Tom Duff himself: "Many people have said that the worst feature of C is that switches don't break automatically before each case label. This code forms some sort of argume

Why'd keys be an overkill? It's just two files which need to be put at proper places.

It really depends on the type of software. Sometimes if something unexpected happens and you just catch and report an error, then you may end up in a state which will result in further errors a few hours later. It is much easier to track th

I think the complaint is for cases when there is no valuable information behind clickbaity title - then writer gets pageviews, site gets revenue, but the user only wastes his time, getting no valuable information.

Sounds like Pentagram Monster series. The one I have with 4100mAh battery lasts for over 20 days, if I'm not using it heavily. And while it is heavier than typical smartphones, it's only about 1cm thick. As far as I know there&#x2

He said his knowledge "might be rudimentary and without much detail" - it is perfectly possible to understand how something works (in a general sense), without building a prototype yourself.

Well, I think the example with 12-pixel image is a bit misleading, because the picture focuses reader's attention on those 12 pixels, while skipping over the fact that each pixel can have ~17 million colors. More appropriate representa

In case of NASA, it's not only because of money though. It's because of a very rigorous process of designing and testing their software, sufficient time to follow this process, as well as writing a single product for a single cust

Yep, especially since ClearCase records adding/removing files not only as a change to these files themselves, but also as a completely separate change to the parent directory. Really terrible system.

Well, denotation of the country is Czechy; nobody in Poland would use full Republika Czeska (unless in some official documents). So I guess if the name gets changed, at least Poles won't have to change their convention :)

Well, generally I would agree, however on my desktop I can't recall the last time I got any malware (probably never since I bought it). So for me the choice is: 1. low risk of catching random malware (which so far is zero) 2. 100% chan

I don't think OSX is a good example here. As far as I know Apple builds both hardware and software, so even in hands of customers OSX still runs in quite controlled environment.

But why? I mean, if I understand correctly, it would be exactly like goto.. so, why not use goto instead? You could also have named labels to clearly describe where you want to jump and why.

Eight kilobytes is plenty of space. How about doing something meaningful in 128 bytes (yes, bytes!): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cD49RXnEGNE - it's a mouse-controlled 3d Wolfenstein-like maze. All with the code abo
