The reason most Java developers don't worry about cpu cycles is because they don't have to. For the last time: JAVE IS NOT A LOW LEVEL LANGUAGE! It is not designed to mess with memory address registries. Get over it. It is designed to remove this burdon from the programmer so that they can focus on design rather than low level "did I allocate enough memory?"

It's an article about misconceptions, which they both are.12. People's names are case sensitive. 13. People's names are case insensitive.
as a homework, write these two rules in prologThe bottom line is: you can't assume either. Each name may or may not be case sensitive.
so basically a good programmer should provide a checkbox "is your name case sensitive" with every form that requires a name.
i'll start implementing it first thing next week.

@Bulb said:TRWTF is that the spec changed. If it was free to upgrade the hardware and drivers, than it would be a very, very mild WTF not to complain rather than just upgrade. But as long as it's not free, the spec should not change. It is never ever a WTF to use old hardware.I agree. Take Nintendo: they have released some updates for the Wii during the last years that added no new features, but disabled homebrew for the console. Now while that's pretty stupid and pointless, at least you don't have to update.

Greetings to the upside-down people,
Could you help me out by recommending a webhosting solution from down under. I only need to register a domain (probably .com.au or .co.au or what is the usual thig down there) and serve one html file and couple of images, so I need something inexpensive. What are my options ?

Wait, are you sure about that? If you had the char *mystring="abc", it would have a strlength of 3 and array length of 4. An index of 3+1 would be out of the array's bounds (assuming this is C/C++ or some other sane zero-based array language). mystring[strlen(mystring)] == mystring[3] would be already set to \0, but strlen() +1 is a buffer overflow...
yeah, but if you had:
char * message_buffer = (char *) malloc ( MESSAGE_BUFFER_SIZE * sizeof(char) );
and a shorter message in the buffer, you could null terminate it up to the buffer size without overflow ...

@Nelle said:Maybe install a real proxy?
however, I found a workaround ... the router runs under linux, it has wget and i got a simple ftp client (a simple bt client is available as well) ... it has an usb host as well ... so i just telnet over, tell him to download stuff to the usb hdd ...
i'll write a small shell script to read a certain text file on the drive and parse the links, and perhaps send some notification when its done (ring the phone or something) ...
yeah, but the proxy would go again over WLAN, so I'm limited to 2-3Mbit, which is the thing i'm trying to avoid ...

You should try downloading porn and see if the problem sustains. Post results, please.
tried streaming "Wild Asses V" in full HD ... the experiment produced jerkiness ... im definitely going to try this one again ... a bit later ...
its not coding related, but since there are some sysadmins lurking around, perhaps someone can help
i had a 3 mbit internet connection and my setup was: adsl modem -> wireless router -> computers ... worked nicely ...
since the local providers are at each others throats, i was offered a nice deal where i pay less and get more (up to 20 Mbit as the prospect promised), so i canceled 3 MBit, ordered new one and there my problems began... i got 11 Mbit (that is what the DSL line supports) and wanted to enjoy the goodnes of high speed downloading porn linux distributions ...
however it turns out that i cant get more than 3 Mbit over WLAN ... when i connect the computer and the adsl modem with the network cable, i get 8-10 Mbit download ...
i got another router box from the isp, an all-in-one adsl modem, wlan router with 11g (54 Mbps) support so the setup is now ads modem + wlan router -> computers
what i tried so far :
- switched channells on the router
- switched to 11g (g only, not combined)
- switched to 11g++
- reduced to 11b
- updated firmware on router
- updated drivers for the adapter
- changed wlan adapters on the computer
- used another computer
- used another wlan router (so the setup was adsl modem (works as a modem) -> another wlan router -> computer)
- brought the bloody computer to the bloody router so their antennae are in cm distance from each other
every time the computer connects, computer and router both indicate full bandwith and excellent quality of the signal ... the connection never drops and never reduces the bandwith ...
both computer run XP SP 3, no firewalls ... oh, yes and i tried disabling QoS packet scheduler and deterministic network enhancer, so the network adapter now has only tcpip protocol ...
record was 3,6 MBit ...
help ...

While we’re at it, why not speak about CAPS lock? At least it won’t start a flamewar, as it’s not OS-specific
and when did this idiocy with caps lock affecting the number keys started ? i seem to remember the time when it was not so.
@random.next said:
It only got introduced to lock the basket/carriage in place, on typewriters, when it was physically shifted by using the shift-key, and keeping it pressed wasn’t very pleasant.
Now that’s what I call useless on computers. :-)
I've seen people that use CAPSLock instead of shift, by turning it on, pressing the letter and turning it off. The explanation was (I had to ask) "its easier then pressing two keys at the same time".

Actually, a lot of stuff that does work works pretty well. Some things are abysmal, like Flash. It's slow as crap even on a modern computer, crash-prone and it leaks memory like crazy. I run a completely separate Firefox process just for using Flash so that the memory leaks don't slow down my browsing and so when Flash inevitably shits itself it only takes down one browser window and not my dozens of open tabs.
Not really that different from my experiences with it on Windows then.
And i've heard it runs pretty stable on Macs too.

Ah, I once thought like you. Then I discovered that Safari on Windows is significantly different enough from Safari on OS X that the former is pretty much useless for inferring results on the latter.
yeah, chrome on windows shares more rendering quirks with safari on mac than windows safari does.
