No, of course not. I said "bad taste", not "immoral" or "illegal". I'd expect more humbleness from people of an academic institution, for the reasons state previously. Slamming the copyright notice into my face before I've even started to r

Maybe I wasn't clear, but I was referring to "reproduce, edit, translate, distribute, publish or host this document" (cf. my remark on the squid proxy). IMHO, prohibiting "distributing" or "hosting" this document is just ridiculous in a wor

Off-topic: may I ask, which software is your DLNA server running? I'm trying to setup sth. similar.

Can anybody think of an explanation why the 'bug' happened only after the 576th byte?

Maybe should have blurred out the edit line, too.

Hm, I might follow that idea (open in a new terminal window or split screen). I'd somehow have to get the original message as a quote for the new message.

I love mutt! Unfortunately, I often write emails while looking at another one, which I couldn't make work with mutt. Any ideas?

I don't think that health care is a market. Sure, you can take your headache or buy a pill, but you cannot choose to have a life-saving procedure or not, less even compare prices (really). Further, if you spread the risk of getting ill acro

I never thought that real name are required to reduce the amount of trolling, but to ease tracking of individual users. Of course, the latter cannot be stated publicly, so the first is given as a reason.

Cool! If I needed a C++ guy, that'd be an instant hire (though he wouldn't do any meta-programming for me!). Wondering how this works out in g++ or other compilers?

Does not only happen with GitHub and pull requests, but in any open source project, I guess. I've recently submitted a patch to the mercurial-dev list (as requested). The answer was positive but asked for tests and a better commit message.

Unfortunately, my password manager is bad at generating phrases and I'm bad at generating random phrases.

While long and random passwords are a good thing, there are still applications that make that very difficult to use. I'm looking at you, Apple AppStore, letting me choose a new password after only the second wrongly-entered, disallowing cop

Same with me: For pleasure? No. Really overwhelming business reason? Maybe. I don't need to repeat my last experience I had (and I'm from Germany), let alone going through ridiculous airport "security".

Last time, I had to 'step aside', presumably because my passport was not all-new-shiny (though I'm from Germany). Of course, nobody tells you that. You have to wait in a room for one hour (I was lucky!) without anybody telling you what the

The title reads as if the questioner is genuinely interested in C++11, but from his comments it's clear that he only sought an outlet to rant. That the accepted answer is 'learn C++11 to get a job, if necessary' speaks volumes.

The listed points are valid, but they are by far not as easy as the author thinks they are. I don't say they are not improvable, but they are not 'little things' that need to get fixed before new features come in. For example, the jars are

I had the same issue until I upgraded to 8 GB. I'd recommend to anybody to go for 8GB directly. For me (or any other heavy user), 4GB is just not enough to run MacOS X (the 'kernel_task' alone takes >500MB).

I once tried to look into dtrace because I was missing strace from Linux. I gave up when I realized I had to learn a whole language just to do what strace did for me on Linux. Now I'm enlightened to see there is dtruss. It works different t

I don't think we disagree, either. Maybe I can clarify how I addressed your point. So you must already have a library that provides you with the adequate abstractions. Given that it failed on Feb 29, either the library is weak, use

I mean there are two t (0th March and Feb 29th) that print as Feb 29 (so any user seeing the value of those t may rightly assume they are the same), but for one t one month earlier is Jan 31, while for the other t one month earlier is Jan 2

Do you know any good library? Besides, my point was that I think time is such an essential data point, it should be handled directly by the language without the need to look for a library. Like sin() is directly accessible in every non-toy

I figured you talk Python, that's good to know (x)! However, if you continue: >>> t = list(time.localtime()); t[2] -= 1; t[3:6] = [8,0,0]; print time.ctime(time.mktime(t)) Wed Feb 29 08:00:00 2012 >>> t

Although time is an important data in most applications, there is only poor library support for it. Most languages don't even have a data type for time! For example, the system call gettimeofday(2) does only return the seconds since Jan 1,
