This doesn't work well for those who are wheelchair-bound or in crutches.

IceWeasel was created to work around trademark restrictions; Mozilla Corporation would not allow to Debian to use the trademarked names as long as Debian was distributing the softw…

If you live in the city and use the subway often, it is easier to get a 30-day unlimited ride pass. Lots of employers will even provide monthly unlimited ride passes as a pre-tax b…

When I was in high school and college, they typically only banned calculators that had full keyboards (e.g. TI-92). I believe I was allowed to use a TI-89 on both the SATs and the …

Garbage Collection: Algorithms for Automatic Dynamic Memory Management is the original book, whereas The Garbage Collection Handbook: The Art of Automatic Memory Management is the …

Maven can generate one for you: mvn archetype:generate -DgroupId=com.mycompany.app -DartifactId=my-app -DarchetypeArtifactId=maven-archetype-quickstart -DinteractiveMode=false Whic…

It now reports overflow instead of crashing, but the first case is still incorrect: $ which expr /bin/expr $ expr \( -9223372036854775808 \) \* -1 -9223372036854775808 $ expr \( -9…

Looks like it is fixed now: $ expr \( -2147483648 \) \* -1 2147483648 $ expr \( -2147483648 \) / -1 2147483648 $ uname -srm FreeBSD 10.0-RELEASE amd64 Or maybe it doesn't work on i…

Look at the date of the RFC; I am pretty sure that this document was not meant to be taken seriously whatsoever.

That is because the tab on line 4 was converted to 4 spaces. A simple find + replace fixes the problem.

From what I understand, Rick Rubin wanted it mastered that way so it sounded "louder" (yet another casualty of the loudness wars) and the band just went with it. Unfortunately, the…

Lars may be an asshole, but it is unfair to say that he made less of a contribution to the writing that Cliff did. Lars has writing credits on 8 tracks of Kill'Em All [0], 8 tracks…

Two regular expressions are sitting at a bar and having a drink. A big, context-sensitive string walks over and steals the drink from the first regex. The second says to the first …

You were probably thinking of Feynman. From Wikipedia[1]: In high school, his IQ was determined to be 125—high, but "merely respectable" according to biographer James Gleick.[14] […

You forgot devd, which is also written in C++: http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/head/sbin/devd/ By default, ports use the system compiler unless it is specifically overridden in the …

The point of the benchmarks is to compare compilers on the Windows platform, so there is no reason to bench other operating systems.

I have Verizon FiOS as well. As luck would have it, you are not required to use the router as your router (though I agree that the router is serviceable). I have an ethernet cable …

My '09 Toyota Corolla has hooks that keep the floor mats in place. The only way to jam the mat underneath the brake pedal would be to do it deliberately.

It has nothing to do with that. The rationale for this is to avoid any problems with US law regarding the exporting of cryptographic software: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Export_o…

It is not too difficult to generate small binaries from C++ code; modern C++ toolchains have link-time optimization ( http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link-time_optimization ) and can …

I doubt it considering that it is now owned by IBM and that it is still ridiculously faster than the competition.
