Impressive! Did you read all of them? It took me quite a while to finish "Understanding the Linux kernel" and "Linux kernel development". -ss

Speaking of the Linux kernel related books, I'd probably mention, Understanding The Linux Kernel [0] and Linux Kernel Development [1]. The LDDv4 is not going to happen any time soon; it seems there are no plans for a new edition at all

That's a really interesting read. Accodring to some reports the Russians had access to 2.9 or 4.2 BSD source code in 1980-1982(?) http://gunkies.org/wiki/DEMOS not sure if they had have to do "translation by

Thanks a ton, very interesting. I heard of Borland C++ Builder (never had a chance to try it out tho), have never heard of Lucid C++. BTW I just found out that, apparently, C++ Builder is, sort of, still alive. The most recent release is &q

Oh, that's interesting indeed! Thanks. I speak zero Smalltalk (I must read a "Smalltalk book" after all), but somehow I expected to see C++ on the list, simply because Stroustrup said in his TC++PL book that Smalltalk has inf

In Belarusian language we have two different "love" words. There is one "love" [кахаю - ka-ha-you] for "I love [ka-ha-you] you / her / him", and there is another one which we use in any other case, li

Koreans' full names usually consist of 3-4 syllables, thus, a large number of databases in Korea simply were not designed to store long [western] names. It does hurt sometimes. For instance, my company uses the first 3 characters of my

Well, it's not so uncommon. For instance, OpenBSD, NetBSD repos are sort of monolithic. And, believe it or not, there are some advantages. For instance, let's take a look at OpenBSD 5.5 [0] release notes: > OpenBSD is year 2038
