re: MAC spoofing I don't use WiFi as a matter of practice, but I'm curious: What if you could keep all the "whitelisted" MAC's continually logged in to your network, or, at least, you could keep track of when they log out. The idea being t

"make is crazy fast" Make calls the shell in order to run programs, correct? (IOW, does make call execve directly, as the shell does?)

Still waiting for Ethernet to "break". IP as well. UDP too. And netcat. It's been like 20 years. I'm still waiting. I also wasn't aware that RFC drafts were the same as "commits". Originally we were talking about "number of commits".

What would you have done differently? (I'm serious. I'd like to know.) One of the tough things for anyone aiming to replicate Facebook is that Facebook used some devious methods to get up and running. Zuckerberg misapproprited hundreds o

How do you know it's the gimmicks that make the "billions upon billions" of dollars? Are you making some assumptions? Could marketing play a role in consumer decisions?

Hmmm. Very interesting perspective. I'm currently using a number of "dead" programs. In fact, most of my kernel is "dead". There is code in there that hasn't been changed in over 30 years! I'm even communicating over a "dead" protocol. W

These all seem to be such frivolous things in relation to the function of a computing device. They have nothing to do with capabilities or performance. Gimmicks. Just my personal opinion.

cfallin: many, many thanks. I guess should read the gdb manual, and, if it's anything like the as manual (which I've learned is not always the full story), the source too.

What's really needed, in my opinion, is a search engine to track shell companies. The lawyer interviewed is shooting from the hip when he says it is "a shell game". Without the use of shell corporations the patent trolling game becomes muc

So there is an assumption that number of commits means something? I'm just not quite sure what that something is. What if the software as released is "rock solid"? That is, it's so simple, effective and reliable that it doesn't need to be

No domain name! I love it! How often do we see this on HN? Fantastic. As for the idea in the title, isn't this more or less what Viaweb did? Create a DSL for generating HTML elements and structure that can itself be embedded in an HTML pa

Can I do this with a hand-written assembly program, i.e. not necessarily one that has been compiled with as and subject to GNU default optimisations or "constraints"?

Why would it mean the project is "dead"? Do you mean that community projects are by nature "dead" projects? What does "dead" mean, exactly? My OS is a community project. OSX/iOS are built from community projects. Lots of scripting languag

I want to be able to do this with assembly, e.g., see what is in each register as I step through the program.
