Because it's fun spawning a new process and watching the otherwise idle cores of your box reach 0.1% usage for a millisecond.

The better options are struggling for support while the rest of us pour our money on the problematic UNIX, hoping we can 'deal' with its warts. In one word, inertia.

By default, `ls` doesn't even list all files. So no, it does not do its job, let alone 'well'.

Why? Cyprus has nothing but to gain from joining Schengen. Where does Greece come in? EU citizens can already travel freely in Cyprus [1], so why would you say GR doesn't want Cyprus in Schengen? [1] http://www.cyprusembassy

I don't think I implied otherwise.

Just as an aside, Cyprus is in the process of joining Schengen "soon", along with Romania, Bulgaria, & Croatia.

Not realtime as in real-time system, but as in representing wall-clock changes.

Does embarrassment really have to do anything with it? Whatever motivates somebody to lie is obviously stronger than shame.

You should probably share the fixes that made it compile (let alone work) for you. I'd like them, anyways.

I don't see what point you're trying to make. UNIX does not guarantee portability, so of course software for Linux doesn't work out-of-the-box, or even build for that matter, in other UNIXoids. Linux's NIH syndrome, howe

Aristotle's contemporaries who claimed "nature has made nobody a slave" also held similar, if not the same, views on leisure. Of course, you could argue all Athenians really took others into slavery by virtue of war, or their

The bug is only there because the epoll interface necessitates you write the code to avoid it. That, to me, is the definition of a fundamentally broken interface.

Yes, both kqueue and IOCP are modelled the same: notify on operation completion, rather than when a file descriptor can perform an operation.

And since we can follow that thought process, we are smart enough to infer the meaning of the advice given ("do not assume") in the proper context, can we not? It's obvious to me we both can, so why the hell are you wasting o
