Dear Brian & Company,

Once again your radical left wing bias blinds you! Where is any of your coverage of the Jason Blair story??????? If the NY Times were a conservative paper you guys would be foaming at the mouth but since it's the bible of liberalism you IGNORE THE STORY!!!!!!! In addition Brian on two recent occasions myself and my roommate have pointed out comments posted by none other than you that were obviously racist and what do you do??? YOU DELETE THEM FROM THE SITE SO THAT NO ONE ELSE WILL BE ABLE TO READ WHAT A TOTAL JACKASS YOU ARE!!!!!!!!!! I also hope that everyone out there realizes that if BRIAN DOESN'T LIKE WHAT YOU WRITE HE WILL RESTRICT YOU FROM BEING ABLE TO POST COMMENTS (I'M SORRY BUT YOU ARE NOT ALLOWED TO POST COMMENTS!!!!!!) The last time that I checked that sort of behavior was called... err.... um.... CENSORSHIP duh! It is just so typical of the left wing ding mentality to criticize the living crap out of everyone else while justifying and hiding their own hideous behavior!!!!! And BE REAL for once... How many of you "Poets" who profess such utter disgust at all those Republicans you call racist actually incorporate diversity into your own white-ass lives?????? And speaking of hypocracy how about some coverage of Carolyn Kennedy being a paid spokesperson for how great the NY Public School System is while OPTING TO SEND HER KIDS TO PRIVATE SCHOOLS!!!!!!!! And as far as this story goes concerning the Texas House of Reps go are any of us really and truly surprized at a bunch of LIBERAL DEMS playing hookey from work???????

Don't get me wrong fellas.... I love this site .... everyone needs a good laugh once in a while!!!!!!!!!!!!

Peace & Love,

Bruford

Dear Bruford --

I'm not white, I'm Korean.

The reason I deleted your posts because I tried several times to write to you using the email address you've given and they've been returned. The first was to inform you that the story that you pilloried me for writing was not in fact written by me. The second was to tell you to watch you language in the comments section, and to suggest a more sophisticated form of debate than what you are apparently used to.

I have the right to block anyone from this site that I wish to -- I pay for this site, I work on it many hours a day, and I don't need assholes like you screwing it up for the fun of it. This site is not a public service.

Brian

I must agree with the honorable Bruford’s evaluation of this radical left wing soapbox and the evaluation which he forthright and articulately mannered put before the world to examine and conclude beyond the insidious behavior of some American poets who(m) elect to opine that the responses they receive from the right are perhaps not worth the electrical energy which may sustain and worse transubstantiate their delightful musings into some sort of virtual presence. I applaud Bruford, but politely question if Bruford is a maniacal genius nom de plume, or some hidden agenda, perhaps a matter of poor taste, or simply that he smells his ass and concludes that it is significantly odiferous, whatever the case, I admire him and wish to be his unfailing admirer. PERIOD!

I'd like to thank Brian for the networking opportunities which occur here. Seems to me that he offers an excellent opportunity for healthy debate and interaction amongst like and unlike minded individuals, and for this I commend him.

I just ran across the following words by dedication talk as delivered by Kurt Vonnegut as presented in the Mark Twain House in Hartford Connecticut, and they seemed an appropriate response to Bruford and all his right wing buddies. And here too is a link to the complete text, for those who might want to check it out:

"What are conservatives? They are people who will move heaven and earth, if they have to, who will ruin a company or a country or a planet, to prove to us and to themselves that they are superior to everybody else, except for their pals. They take good care of their pals, keep them out of jail-and so on.

Conservatives are crazy as bedbugs. They are bullies.

Shock and awe.

Class war? You bet."

best to all,
Stephen

Dear Brian,

Interesting isn't it how you claim to have "banned" me from your site for use of foul language and in the very next paragraph call me an ASSHOLE!!!! Very consistent I must say (as far as a liberal menatlity goes that is!!!!). First of all my good friend I'm not exactly sure what foul language I could have used that could be construed as being so offensive since the comments on this "sophisocated" site seem to be commonly laced with F-bombs, homophobic slurs and various other sophomoronic insults.... So Brian if you were truly honest with yourself (and everyone else on this site) you'd own up to the fact that you don't like me because I consistently and may I say ever so effectively punch some serious holes in your ever so disasterously dangerous and insideously insolent left-wing propaganda. In other words... in order to be Brian's friend you must THINK LIKE BRIAN especially since Brian "PAYS FOR THIS SITE!" Afterall it is only fair that we GIVE HIM WHAT HE'S PAYING FOR so everyone from now on NO RATIONAL DISCISSION ALLOWED ON THIS BOARD - ONLY RADICAL LEFT-WING HATE AMERICA SPEECH! And to my good friend Stephen Kirbach... please stop trying to impress yourself by quoting literary icons such as Twain and Vonnegut... Such a typical ELITIST tactic.... "Ah... yes.... as Walt Whitman would say...... balah, blah, blah" in other words WHO CARES!!!!!! Think for yourself for once will you! And to Buford Pusser.... yes my butt does stink just like everyone else's .... something that the radical-left-socialist-communist sympathizers would never admit about themselves... You just stick with me and everything will be all right... by the way THANKS for your support... and keep WALKING TALL!!!!

Bruford

Ok

Note the new asterisks whenever we reference favoriteNumber, except for that new line right before the return.

This code should compile and run just fine, and you should see no changes in how the program works. So why did we do all of that?

The rest of our conversion follows a similar vein. Instead of going through line by line, let's just compare end results: when the transition is complete, the code that used to read:

Since the Heap has no definite rules as to where it will create space for you, there must be some way of figuring out where your new space is. And the answer is, simply enough, addressing. When you create new space in the heap to hold your data, you get back an address that tells you where your new space is, so your bits can move in. This address is called a Pointer, and it's really just a hexadecimal number that points to a location in the heap. Since it's really just a number, it can be stored quite nicely into a variable.

We can see an example of this in our code we've written so far. In each function's block, we declare variables that hold our data. When each function ends, the variables within are disposed of, and the space they were using is given back to the computer to use. The variables live in the blocks of conditionals and loops we write, but they don't cascade into functions we call, because those aren't sub-blocks, but different sections of code entirely. Every variable we've written has a well-defined lifetime of one function.
