... and that demonstrates my lack of experience with GPU related programming -- besides API's such as DirectX and OpenGL, but I've haven't even made a shader. I finally have more than an Intel Graphics Chipset; much more in fact (Radeon HD 6950). Some day I should try writing a shader.

Then call it "Simple Heap Example."

Thank you. Actually, a while ago, I was speculating the fact that 32-bit integers are faster on processors with a 32-bit word architecture etc. (faster than 8 or 16 bit integers, alike the widely known benefits of "64-bit integers on 64-bit word architectures"), but I foolishly denied it. Your infor...

I understand, in many cases its important to define how large your numeric variable is (and I always consider unsigned vs signed), but do compilers ever optimize or make tailored size decisions when you don't specify char, short, long or long long (so, int does != long long int by default?). This wo...

Thanks Mike!

Dennis Ritchie is one of those people who's made an unusually large effect on the world. Regardless of whether you appreciate his work, without him the world would be very different.

That kind of GUI is called a desktop environment. Before OS developers do anything nifty, we usually spend a lot of time working on the core of the operating system (mostly the kernel). Also, you'll need to settle a way for controlling the screen display, whether by oldschool VGA, graphics card util...

Yeah, it's like Mike has "died" (figuratively). This isn't good. Hmm... maybe we could start our own forums?

I'm here.
