No, he has more I tell you more! *laughs like an insane professor*
He probably comes home from working at KFC and jumps into his virtual
world where he can escape the reality of being a bitch for Colonel
Sanders, and turn into some super hero the "virtual world" (aka net
games) will respect, yet his own pairs just mock him, even his own
mother! LOL!. Terrible when a persons life is totally dominated my
computer to such an extent that they shell out thousands on unnecessary
crap.

Be aware that Parg sits at home, sponging off of the labor of her husband,
whiling away the hours on USENET bemoaning the "evil patriarchy"...which
she then calls upon to enforce all of her man-hating laws.

With the exception of the winmodem ($10 - $15 more for a decent modem)
that's a heap of bullshit.

Cheaper not to buy a PC from DELL at all and who would want to anyway
unless they wanted to pay a large sum of money just to have the letters D E

Crossposted-To: comp.os.ms-windows.nt.advocacy
Subject: Intel versus Sparc
Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2001 11:31:39 GMT
Just want to share a recent experience.
A fellow on another project was having trouble getting
this C code to work. It was supposed to accept
some geographical mapping data and do some work with
it, generating a data file. It would crash.
Couldn't even compile this C code under the free
Borland 5.5 compiler.... However, it would compiler
with our installation of C++ Builder 4, which uses
a slightly earlier version, Borland 5.4. We could
see that the code crashed at the start of a particular
function. We saw some odd stuff in the assembler
code, so suspected a compiler bug.
We downloaded the mingw32 version of gcc, and got
the code to build. It still crashed. I even
went as far as to build it for Linux -- a core
dump resulted.
Figured it couldn't be compiler bugs! After some
more dicking around with cleaning up some of
the myriad of warnings, I noticed that the
bad function was pushing an array of structures
onto the stack. Looking at the size of the array,
found it was 64 Mb!
At that point, we realized that the Intel platform
was the cause of the trouble (not to mention the
dumb way of allocating/using such a large buffer).
The code had been originally developed on a SparcStation.
So, be careful about thinking PC's are the best
things around, just because they are much more
powerful than they used to be.
