How many times do you find this to be true? _________________ I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem. When I was a kid I wanted to be older.... This is not what I expected  |

"What happens when you read some doc and either it doesn't answer your question or is demonstrably wrong? In Linux, you say "Linux sucks" and go read the code. In Windows/Oracle/etc you say "Windows sucks" and start banging your head against the wall." --- Denis Vlasenko on lkml _________________ I have found, in trying to help people, that the things they do not tell you, are usually the clue to solving the problem.

Programming - the process of adding bugs to software. Debugging - the process of finding and changing bugs in software into different bugs. Software bug - any undesired feature in software. ... One programmer's "feature" is the next's "bug" _________________ Check out my github repositories. I may eventually get around to updating my blogspot. |
