My main machine is a Lenovo T61 manufactured in 2006. My backup machine is a T400 from 2009. I have an HP48 manufactured in the mid 1990's still. All work perfectly. 2 years is tak…

From my perspective (I'm not the GP), I will be using a custom configuration management system that I wrote back in 1999. It's. Like puppet but ssh based, written in sh and standar…

Forgot about dtrace - good point! So much goodness!

Not all batteries are made equal which is the problem. We have 25 people with Lumia 820's that are fine. I just got a bad battery.

Downvoted by an Apple fanboy no doubt!

Well the main things for me are 1. feels closer to "old fashioned non-Canonical'ed UNIX" which I was brought up on. 2. Way less politics due to license. 3. Less crazy forking and w…

Well it's not comparable. I'm sitting on a new 9-cell that cost me $129 equivalent and has 8.5 hours left :) When that runs out, I can take it out and stick the other one in out of…

Wonderful! I may actually consider dumping Debian for FreeBSD 10. I've never been totally happy with Linux after moving off "proper" UNIX machines. I had a FreeBSD 4.4 machine floa…

> If your Lumia's battery needed to be replaced after 9 months, it was already under warranty and should have been replaced by the manufacturer. It was. Nokia service sent me a new…

Just because you can, doesn't mean it's right ;) Nice work by the way. It's quite amazing the odd things you can do in Excel.

Yeah I know that. I buy T-series. No glue. They're not a useful innovation - they are an abhorrent consumerist "disposalism" decision to pump sales, a safety nightmare (isolate it?…

Really like this when using the keyboard. When using the mouse, the transition is implied so it's annoying. Great work though!

What the hell? The M7 is a marketing label for some COTS silicon they licensed from some IP company somewhere (probably ARM/Broadcom or one of their associates). It doesn't make un…

BBC did this 15 years ago on tiny computers compared to now. They uploaded static HTML onto Sun boxes and served them. If you did a submission somewhere, it'd do offline processing…

Glue: technology shared with a $1000 and a $5 device but none in between. I've just replaced the battery on my Lumia 820 after 9 months. They don't last forever. Glue is inexcusabl…

Yes. Not like you can just nip to the Pegasus galaxy and nick a ZPM...

Well spotted! Thanks for pointing this out! I will now go and hit myself with a LART for a bit to remember not to do that again.

"Bollocks" peer reviewed demonstration or piss off.

Nice tools. You can actually do most of that with vanilla PowerShell and Excel believe it or not but it's much fuglier and you spend most of your way working around edge cases. The…

I would but if you see the rest of the thread, my gcc isn't raising this as a warning! That in itself is sign that a mistake can be made without noticing.

I agree with you, but it works and it's saved me hours and hours of crying in front of gdb.

Thanks. I think this must be a config issue on this box. It makes me wonder what other warnings it is not telling me about.

Doesn't do that for me - what GCC ver and environment. Very odd! Digging in docs. Thanks for info.

What compiler flag is that? Genuinely interested. Wall,pedantic,ansi don't trigger it. I've tried the following and I don't get a warning or error: $ cat test2.c int main(int argc,…

I thought that was system integration testing?
