6/30    Javascript, I love you:
        var b = new Boolean(false);
        b;        // false
        !b;       // ALSO false
        !b == b;  // But this is true!
        !!b == !b // Negate both sides and it's false again. FUCK.

9/27    Ok so to do the equivalent of  the following:
        bool ? a : b
        In Python, it is:
        (bool and [a] or [b])[0]
        Uh, kick ass?

1/17    Hey, Firefox can launch an external application to view source.  Go to
        about:config and check out view_source.editor.external (bool), and
        view_source.editor.path (string)
        \_ Thanks!  I just took a few seconds to set this up and it
           works great.

8/25    Dear C++ experts. Why would there be two "const" in the following
        method declaration?
        const bool ILikeMotd() const;
        \_ The first const refers to the data type returned.  The second
           const says the function doesn't modify an object's member variables.
           The first const in your example is bad, I believe; it should

11/20   Is there an easy way to map the left "alt" key to "meta" key in
        Mac OS X Tiger,  X11 (in full-screen mode).
        \_ Try: defaults write com.apple.x11 swap_alt_meta -bool true
           \_ Sweet . That did it!   Here's another question:
              Is there a similarily elegant way to have Command N
              launch a new rxvt window instead of an xterm?

10/19   I know leap years occur every 4 years, but there was some exception
        to that. Can anyone tell me what it was? I believe it involved years
        that were multiples of either 100 or 400. Thanks.

5/10    On a 32 bit architecture, if I declare something boolean or byte,
        does it still use 32 bits, or is it possible to have a different
        offset for the alignment to pack it more efficiently? ok thx.
        \_ For boolean, it's all up to your compiler.  For byte, most likely
           it's 8 bits, but it's still up to your compiler.
           \_ I heard that if the alignment isn't 32, either the arch

6/20    I have a variable inside a struct.  I want to be able to initialize
        that variable ONCE and not write to it again.  Any subsequent writes
        should not be permitted.  Is there a way to do that in C?  I know
        about "const int foo = 5;" but the value I need to pass in is dynamic
        and happens at runtime.  Declaring a variable as const doesn't let
        me assign anything to it at all.  Thanks.

9/18    what does the term "co-ed" mean?
        \_ Co-Education. It is a old term used to differentiate those
           who studied in single-sex (boys only or girls only) classes
           and those whose classes had both sexes. In the vernacular
           a co-ed means "a sexy little sorority slut".
