Linus on Linux: The Linus Torvalds Interview Part 1

| And by the way, I would like to point out that we do try to do better on “our

Computer Schenanigans
(14 May 2009)
05-14-2009, 11:54 AM Hi H&A,
So today, minding my own business on my Vista box, I was playing a video game where suddenly, from nowhere, I get a Driver IRQL exception. I have had this once before, and rebooting fixed the problem. However, this time, I attempted to reboot the computer and had several problems, no including:
Could not find CI.dll
Something involving the kernel
Something involving winloader
Thus, I began to suspect that something was very, very wrong with my computer. So I download...

OS Compatibility

45 Years ago... System/360: The big gamble
IBM was at the top of the computer heap in the early 1960s, but all was not well. There were many competitors selling their own systems, claiming to be faster, better and cheaper (as the old joke about IBM goes, "You can buy better, but you won't pay more"). IBM itself had three competing, non-compatible computer divisions and flattening revenues. Worsening the problem was the incompatibility between upgrades of the same system family forcing customers...

CQ (2001)

Thanks to fauxteur from cinemageddon
IMDb
My upgraded rip of the film, commentary and all video extras from the 2-sided NTSC DVD. I hope you enjoy !
DVD Talk Review:
Quote: : "CQ" delighted me from open to close. It's not a film that fills out all of its ideas, but it's about as original and fun as it gets these days. It's also well-acted, made with good spirits and beautifully filmed. The film, which barely got much distribution and had little marketing, is directed by Roman Coppola (brother of...

Personal Attacks
(30 Jun 2009)
As we all know some people on here cannot argue a point without getting nasty. Some even when making good points pepper them with a foulness that makes people argumentative even though the point was probably correct.
I propose a method to save time on our forum. The internet is all about hyperlinks, so anytime you feel like unleashing some hate filled sputum from your keyboard, don't waste your time... just include a link to this post directed to your poor unwitting victim.
Here goes...

Do Forth objects have to be slow?
(20 May 2009)
On Wed, 20 May 2009 12:04:25 -0400, Doug Hoffman <dhoffman@talkamerica.net
That's a question I have often asked myself. I know that there are some
opinions that speed is not necessarily important when using objects, and
I don't disagree. It depends on the needs of the application. But what
if there were a way to greatly accelerate the speed "for free" or nearly
so? It would seem hard to turn that down.
I have usually characterized the speed of an object system by comparing
to th...

For those complaining of exceptionally long .signatures
(02 Jun 2009)
I was going to reply elsewhere about this, but unfortunately the topic was locked. Anyhoo, someone was complaining about a mere 17 line signature. Pfff. Kids these days. I guess I'm one of the few geezers that remembers Kibo and his several hundred line .signature -- it was long enough that it even had an index.
So, for your viewing enjoyment, I post a bit of history below:

Question, wasnt sure where to put this, kind of random.
(24 Jun 2009)
I was wondering if
A) This is total bull?
B) What your opinion of this is?
"Imagine a block of iron where every single atom represents a single addressable bit of memory. A full 128-bit address would be able to access 2^128 bytes, or 2^131 bits.
That's about 2.722*10^39 bits, in this case 2.722*10^39 atoms of iron.
How much iron would that be? Take 2.722*10^39 and divide by Avagadro's number, 6.022*10^23 to get moles of iron: 4.521*10^15 moles.
Multiple by the atomic weight of iron, 55.847, to g...

What's the philosophical definition of const? Organization: SunSITE.dk -...

Is there any common idea of the _philosophical_ definition of const or
is this very individual in the business? What is your opinion on this?
To explain what I mean I give this example:
class CarFactory
{
void addCarPrototype( Car* car, string carType ) const;
void setCarTypeToManufacure( string carType );
Car* createCar() const;
}
Here addCarPrototype is a const function in my eyes. It will for sure...
