Modern Static Typing: Less Code, Better Code

"With GNU id-utils many text-searching tasks become simpler and faster. For example, you can list all files that reference a particular `#include' file throughout a huge source hierarchy, search for all the memos containing references to a project, or automatically invoke an editor on all files containing references to some function or variable. Anyone with a large software project to maintain, or a large set of text files to organize, can benefit from the ID utilities."

"Wipe repeatedly writes special patterns to the file or files to be destroyed, using the fsync() call and/or the O_SYNC bit to force disk access, in order to lessen the chance of data recovery using techniques such as magnetic force microscopy."

CCured analyzes the C program to determine the smallest number of run-time checks that must be inserted in the program to prevent all memory safety violations. The resulting program is memory safe, meaning that it will stop rather than overrun a buffer or scribble over memory that it shouldn't touch.

The Myths of IPv6

"The P10 is a totally self-contained 40-150 psi ribbed paraboloid (egg shape) underground disaster shelter designed to protect up to 10 people for long periods or 20 people for short durations such as during tornadoes. The product was specifically designed and developed to protect people during and after disasters such as tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes, storms, forest fires, power failures, nuclear power plant accidents, nuclear/chemical terrorism, and full-scale protracted nuclear, chemical and biological war."

"You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of the sudden you look down and you see a tortoise... it’s crawling toward you. You reach down, you flip the tortoise over on its back... The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping."

"All bands, in some way or another, use devil symbols, signs, rituals, sex, and drugs to enhance their music. Satanists say, "These symbols open the doorways for Lucifer and his minions to come in and possess." But that's not all..."

"[An inmate] claimed me as his property and I didnt dispute it. I became obedient, telling myself at least I was surviving . . . . He publicly humiliated and degraded me, making sure all the inmates and gaurds knew that I was a queen and his property. Within a week he was pimping me out to other inmates at $3.00 a man. This state of existence continued for two months until he sold me for $25.00 to another black male who purchased me to be his wife."

"'You will clean the house,' he said, 'have my clothes clean and when Im ready to get my 'freak' no arguments or there will be a punishment! I will,' he said, 'let my homeboys have you or Ill just sale you off. Do we have an understanding?' With fear, misery, and confusion inside me . . . I said yes"
