Oakland PD fired wooden pellet bullets, metal-shot "beanbags", tear gas, and "concussion grenades" at a peaceful picket of American President Lines, a military cargo shipment company working out of the Oakland docks. Several injuries, including dockworkers, resulting in the ILWU sending its workers home. We arrived shortly after this went down and saw some of the wounds and rescued ammo. Several photos, reports, and a video are available at www.indybay.org - which also has photos from the student shutdown of Hwy 280 in SF today, as well as several from the march/rally in Oakland this last Sat., which featured prominent labor organizations and students-of-color groups, making links between the illegal war in Iraq (& still continuing in Afghanistan, the Philippines, etc...) and multiple social and economic issues at home and elsewhere, giving the lie to still-repeated claims that the protesters are just a bunch of old white hippies.

At any given time, the stack can show you the path your code has taken to get to where it is. The top frame represents the function the code is currently executing, and the frame below it is the function that called the current function, and the frame below that represents the function that called the function that called the current function, and so on all the way down to main, which is the starting point of any C program.

Posted by: Lewis on January 19, 2004 05:24 AMWhen a variable is finished with it's work, it does not go into retirement, and it is never mentioned again. Variables simply cease to exist, and the thirty-two bits of data that they held is released, so that some other variable may later use them.

When Clark Kent saw a news story getting too hot, a phone booth hid his change into Superman. When you're programming, all the variables you juggle around are doing similar tricks as they present one face to you and a totally different one to the machine.
