Am I the only one sick enougth

to consider this a new form of torture.

Tell us what we want to know or we will turn all your skin into blood cells and watch you drain away.

Methodology?

I wonder how this works.

There are places where you won't be checking pointers or array bounds or even for pointer arithmetic simply because you don't want to burden the code with the error checking at that level.

You do your error / bounds checking at a higher level of your abstraction to keep the low level code fast.

I wonder

what the advertisers are now thinking.

Missed an alfull lot of Pre PC games

Daily Mail?

"There should be a presumption that people wishing to work or volunteer with children and vulnerable adults are safe to do so unless it can be shown otherwise"

I was about to say that this attitude will last only as long as it takes the next Daily Mail to hit the news stands, but then I read http://www.theregister.co.uk/2010/10/25/love_life_of_the_average_brit_on_statistics_day/ and found the following paragraph.

"There is the bizarre: the fact that the average Telegraph journalist thinks about sex at least 30 times every day, or 10,950 times a year. This is about three times the frequency at which the average Guardian journalist does. Indie journalists came out as least likely to be sex-obsessed: Daily Mail ones the most."

So the Coalition can now happily ignore everything in the Daily Mail as the ramblings of a bunch of Sex Obsessed middle-aged hacks.

I support a 3 strikes and your disconnected law.

However, as a quid pro quo, if the record companies prosecute 3 people who did not pirate their music, they get disconnected from the internet.

You can tell when the company you work for is about to hit the buffers

They start to cut back on all the freebies.

Perhaps The plod should be prosecuting Dorset Council as well. http://www.historic-uk.com/CultureUK/ChalkFigures.htm

Why?

Why not spent the money making the alleged 3rd trilogy in the Star Wars cannon instead of re-releasing the 6 already created movies with supped up special effects?

The rise of the Internet

or the fall of Silvio Berlusconi? I'm not sure which.

Can we reverse this

And use it to get men to cover up in public :-)

Its been out since at least 8pm (BST) yesaday 8/09/10

Which is a pity as I was looking for a forum to post a comment liking the paster to those other book burning ideologues the Nazis.

Humm, does this mean I can call Godwin's law on my own post?

US Miopia?

"We're not all Germans" and couldn't be expected to know the country's own peculiar history.

Perhaps he should Google for it.

Right to sue?

I'm wondering if this technique even gives them standing to sue. Unless the sale of copyright document is very closely worded the defendant could clame that the original copyright owner implicitly waved any right to sue, by not suing before transferring the copyrights.
