this seems to open a whole new door for double-spending and other forms of counterfeiting. nothing seems to stop me from buying a physical coin, then transferring the digital coin to my mtgox account but still spending the physical "coin".

zero-length arrays, FYI, are not a C thing, they are a GCC thing: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Zero-Length.html C99 has its own "zero sized array" thing but it is a different syntax.

I don't understand how the naysayers of higher education can argue that any amount of viewing lectures can replace legitimate interaction with an expert in the field. I've taken a lot of classes where I could watch a video of the professor

all intel x64 systems are capable of being 32 bit. also almost all non-netbook laptops are x64 systems now (and have been for many years). however, if you run 32 bit, you can address less RAM. so. have fun! :(
