Linux Crashes Top 10

OK, so that was expected: after the Windows Blue Screen Of Death Top 10 (previous post link), now comes the Linux Crash Top 10 equivalent. I have two observations:

  1. It’s surprising how many devices are running Linux.
  2. Imagine you’re on a plane and the screen in front of you goes into kernel panic. Don’t you start praying that the airplane’s computers have a different system? I would.

Finally – A DVD Rewinder

It really took long for someone to make this product. Until today we had to wait for the DVD movie we just watched to rewind, but not any more! Just like them old VHS tape rewinders you can now get yourself a DVD rewinder.

Now you know why it’s great to visit this blog – so much useful information, it’s overwhelming. (via Digg)

How to Shoot Yourself in the Foot in Any Programming Language

I once had a teacher (Dr. Yechiel Kimchi, who taught me so much of what I know today) who said that in C++ it’s harder to shoot yourself in the foot than it is in C, but when you manage to do it – the foot is completely gone.

A funny tutorial was published, which describes how to shoot yourself in the foot in any programming language. If you know a few languages (even superficially) this will make you laugh. (via Digg)
