It's been about 20 years since I watched cable/broadcast TV in my home. But yeah way back tvs didn't have inputs for other devices, instead you had a box which you put in between the antenna or cable signal and your device which basically over wrote channel 3(why channel 3? I have no idea) with whatever your device was out putting. So if you wanted to play Nintendo you would change to channel 3 and see Mario or metroid.

  1. I never mock those who are trying to learn.

  2. Why is he starting with c/c++? Yes they have uses but not as a starter just playing around.

  3. I struggled with this initially too cause I didn't understand why. Most people would say "give me the first object". In reality your requesting an offset * size of each item + list start.

I preferred the no poop for 3 days thing but both are classics

True. Years ago(I think 2010 ish) I went to NYC comic con. Zombies were all the rage (pun intended) at the time. One of the panels I saw was "preparing for a zombie apocalypse" with a bunch of people from walking dead and a director at the cdc.

The cdc director basically made the point that you should be prepared. A zombie apocalypse is not likely/possible but if that makes you actually get prepared for an emergency go for it. You need access to fresh water, access to edible food, any medications for you or your family, a plan to escape, a place to meet up etc etc. You need those in a zombie apocalypse but you also need them in a hurricane, tornado, war, earthquake etc. All require the same things to survive, if pretending it's zombies helps you get prepared great, as long as you get prepared.

Wait...not being able to use a basic library like string.h opens up so many other questions

Sorry I used to do gross margin improvement and that just seems ripe for cost cutting. Spend 100K one time, save $75k every year.

Was the email atleast encrypted?

Yes he is an asshole. Yes he deserves to lose all his money. Yes he should/has to pay the victims of sand hook.

My question is what happens to the money in the account? Can the bank just say we are not willing to do business with you anymore and keep it?

If this was me or you, can a bank just deny you access to the money in your account?

I would think... And I am no expert... They could say "we don't want your business anymore, take the money out of your accounts within 30 days or it's forfiet" or something. But to think the bank can just close the account and keep the money seems really bad in my eyes.
