Oda al C

From: stumpf@gtenmc.gtetele.com (Jon S. Stumpf)
Newsgroups: rec.humor.funny


	0x0d2C
      ==========

May your signals all trap
    May your references be bounded
All memory aligned
    Floats to ints rounded


Remember ...


Non-zero is true
    ++ adds one
Arrays start with zero
    and, NULL is for none


For octal, use zero
    0x means hex
= will set
    == means test


use -> for a pointer
    a dot if its not
? : is confusing
    use them a lot


a.out is your program
	there's no U in foobar
and, char (*(*x())[])() is
	a function returning a pointer
	to an array of pointers to
	functions returning char

Programación orientada al vacío con C--

    NEW PRODUCT ANNOUNCEMENT:  'C' Language Regression Package
              Antiquity Spoffware Solutions
                    Announces

              C-- Void Oriented Programming

 Antiquity Spoffware Solutions is proud to announce its latest
   fully integrated software package for C programmers.   C Programmers
   for years now have been frustrated with a myriad of functions
   designed for almost sickening efficiency and control.  Any programmer
   knows that a language so flexible has its drawbacks:  Universality.
   C-- combines all the power of BASIC, the readability of COBOL, and the
   wealth of string and graphics functions associated with FORTRAN.
   C-- does away with floats and doubles, chars and ints and
   manipulates data entirely in LONG integer form (for portability.)

	Here are some examples:

   /* This program generates an integer-oriented


#include <cmm.h>
#LOADREGULARCLIBRARYFUNCTION (STDIO.H)


MAIN *OPENCURLYBRACKETPOINTINGLEFT

   PRINTFORMATTEDOUTPUT ( "DEMONSTRATION OF C-- FUNCTIONS" ) SEMICOLON

	LET THENUMBER A EQUAL 10 SEMICOLON
	LET THENUMBER B EQUAL 20 SEMICOLON

	IF A .LT. B THEN DO SINGLEFUNCTION
		PRINTFORMATTEDOUTPUT( NUMBER, STRING, A, "IS SMALLEST" )
		    SEMICOLON
	OTHERWISE

	IF B .LT. B THEN DO SINGLEFUNCTION
		PRINTFORMATTEDOUTPUT( NUMBER, STRING, B, "IS SMALLEST" )
		    SEMICOLON
	OTHERWISE

	DO NOTHING SEMICOLON

*CLOSECURLYBRACKETPOINTINGRIGHT

   The above source, as you may have noticed, is not just a demonstration
   of the ASS software team's life-long persistance in the generation of
   efficient, compact, (and most of all) READABLE software.

   The tried and true principles behind line-buffered input are sure to
   delight the seasoned programmer.  C-- is sure to invoke images of
   keypunches and card readers and leave you happily chugging away at
   keyboard.

Write in C (letra de 'Let it Be' ligeramente modificada)

When I find my code in tons of trouble,
Friends and colleagues come to me,
Speaking words of wisdom:
"Write in C."


As the deadline fast approaches,
And bugs are all that I can see,
Somewhere, someone whispers:
"Write in C."


Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
LOGO's dead and buried,
Write in C.


I used to write a lot of FORTRAN,
For science it worked flawlessly.
Try using it for graphics!
Write in C.


If you've just spent nearly 30 hours,
Debugging some assembly,
Soon you will be glad to
Write in C.


Write in C, Write in C,
Write in C, yeah, Write in C.
BASIC's not the answer.
Write in C.


Write in C, Write in C
Write in C, oh, Write in C.
Pascal won't quite cut it.
Write in C.

Letra de 'Yesterday' ligeramente modificada

Yesterday,
All those backups seemed a waste of pay.
Now my database has gone away.
Oh I believe in yesterday.


Suddenly,
There's not half the files there used to be,
And there's a milestone
hanging over me
The system crashed so suddenly.


I pushed something wrong
What it was I could not say.


Now all my data's gone
and I long for yesterday-ay-ay-ay.


Yesterday,
The need for back-ups seemed so far away.
I knew my data was all here to stay,
Now I believe in yesterday.

Macs vs Unix

UNIX: cd /usr/local/etc/httpd/cgi-bin/registration

MAC : 	click on usr

	find, then click on registration
	fuck, windows all over the place.
	close usr

	close etc
	close httpd
	close cgi-bin

	oh, wait, a shortcut!!!

	"Apple"-F : find registration
	wait
	wait some more
	"show" registration

UNIX:   cp test.txt /

MAC :   Click on "test.txt"
	Then hold down the "option" key
	if (disk_icon is visible)

        else
          {
	   let go of the "option" key

People who come into contact with the Unix system are often told, "If you have trouble, see so-and-so, he's a guru", or "Bob there is a real Unix hacker."

What is a "Unix Wizard"? How does he differ from a "guru"?

To explore these and other questions, here is a draft of the "The Unix Hierarchy":

NAME      DESCRIPTION AND FEATURES

Beginner  - insecure with the concept of a terminal
          - has yet to learn the basics of vi
          - has not figured out how to get a directory
          - still has trouble with typing RETURN
            after each line of input

Novice    - knows that "ls" will produce a directory
          - uses the editor, but calls it "vye"
          - has heard of "C" but never used it
          - has had a bad experience with rm
          - is wondering how to read mail
          - is wondering why the person next door
            seems to like Unix so very much

User      - uses vi and nroff, but inexpertly
          - has heard of regular expressions but
            never seen one
          - has figured out that "-" precedes options
          - has attempted to write a C program, but
            decided to stick with Pascal
          - is wondering how to move a directory
          - thinks that dbx is a brand of stereo component
          - knows how to read mail and is wondering how
            to read the news

Knowledgeable
User          - uses nroff with no trouble, and is beginning
            to learn tbl and eqn
          - uses grep to search for fixed strings
          - has figured out that mv(1) will move directories
          - has learned that "learn" doesn't help
          - somebody has shown him how to write
            C programs
          - once used sed but checked the file afterwards
          - watched somebody use dbx once
          - tried "make" but used spaces instead of tabs

Expert    - uses sed when necessary
          - uses macros in vi, uses ex when necessary
          - posts news at every possible opportunity
          - is still wondering how to successfully reply
            to mail
          - writes csh scripts occasionally
          - writes C programs using vi and compiles
            with make
          - has figured out what && and || are for
          - uses fgrep because somebody said it
            was faster

Hacker    - uses sed and awk with comfort
          - uses undocumented features of vi
          - writes C code with "cat >" and compiles with
            "!cc"
          - uses adb because he doesn't trust source
            debuggers
          - figured out how environment variables are
            propagated
          - writes his own nroff macros to supplement the
            standard ones
          - writes Bourne shell scripts
          - installs bug fixes from the net
          - uses egrep because he timed it

Guru      - uses m4 and lex with comfort
          - writes assembler code with "cat >"
          - uses adb on the kernel while the system
            is loaded
          - customizes Unix utilities by patching the source
          - reads device driver source with breakfast
          - uses "ed" because "ex" is a Berkeleyism
          - can answer any Unix question after a little
            thought
          - uses make for anything that requires two or
            more commands
          - has learned how to breach security but no longer
            needs to try
          - is putting James Woods/Henry Spencer egrep
            into his next Unix release

Wizard    - writes device drivers with "cat >"
          - fixes bugs by patching the binaries
          - posts his changes to Unix utilities to the net,
            and they work
          - can tell what question you are about to ask,
            and answers it
          - writes his own troff macro packages
          - is on a first-name basis with Dennis, Bill,
            and Ken

IMAGINE (John Lennon)

Imagine there's no Windows,
It's easy if you try.
No fattal errors or new bugs
To kill your hard drives.

Imagine Mr. Bill Gates
Leaving us in peace!

Imagine neverending hard disks,
It isn't hard to do.
Nothing to del or wipe off
And no floppy too

Imagine Mr. Bill Gates
Sharing all his money.

You may say I'm a hacker,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us
And your games will fit in RAM

Imagine 1-Giga RAM
I wonder if you can.
No need for left-shifts or setups
And no booting again and again.

Imagine all the systems
Working all life-time!

You may say I'm a hacker,
But I'm not the only one.
Maybe someday I'll be a cracker
And then I'll make Windows run.

Addicted To Vi (with apologies to Robert Palmer)

You press the keys with no effect,
Your mode is not correct.
The screen blurs, your fingers shake;
You forgot to press escape.
Can't insert, can't delete,
Cursor keys won't repeat.
You try to quit, but can't leave,
An extra "bang" is all you need.

You think it's neat to type an "a" or an "i"--
Oh yeah?
You won't look at emacs, no you'd just rather die
You know you're gonna have to face it;
You're addicted to vi!

You edit files one at a time;
That doesn't seem too out of line?
You don't think of keys to bind--
A meta key would blow your mind.
H, J, K, L?  You're not annoyed?
Expressions must be a Joy!
Just press "f", or is it "t"?
Maybe "n", or just "g"?

Oh--You think it's neat to type an "a" or an "i"--
Oh yeah?
You won't look at emacs, no you'd just rather die
You know you're gonna have to face it;
You're addicted to vi!

Might as well face it,
You're addicted to vi!

You press the keys without effect,
Your life is now a wreck.
What a waste!  Such a shame!
And all you have is vi to blame.

Oh--You think it's neat to type an "a" or an "i"--
Oh yeah?
You won't look at emacs, no you'd just rather die
You know you're gonna have to face it;
You're addicted to vi!

Might as well face it,
You're addicted to vi!

You can't parse this (You can't touch this)

my assignments hit me so hard
make me say, "oh my lord
thank you for blessin me
with a load to code and a 2 hype seat"
right here, in front of a Sparc
looks good in the light, looks better in the dark
but it tells me -  in a manner quite harsh
"This is a string I can't parse"

(I told ya, kludge-boy)
Can't Parse This
(yea, a fatal error and you know)

(look at that code, maaaan)

(yo lemme bust some funky diagnostics)

"fresh new bugs, and errors
your code is more than compiler terror
it's rotten - to the core
i don't like it but you know i'll get more

step back - step back
can't you see i'm developing a crack
in my hardware - your code's a farce
cause this is a string I Can't Parse"

(yo i told ya)

(why you sittin there, man)

(yo, sound the terminal bell, ya got mail, sucka)

compile-time bugs disrupt my rhythm
it's tellin me trash is what i'm givin him
it's garbage, in and out
but instead of a nice little a.out
i get feedback
fed back
to me by this here RISC machine
no fun
what's it gonna take in the 90s to run these programs

either learn those or wind up in hell

that's longWORD because you know

Stop!  Compile Time!

go with the flow
it is said if you can't write in C then you probably are dead
so wave K&R in the air
waste a few nights, run your fingers thru your hair
this is it

every time I program
it complains about my code
maybe i'm in the wrong book or Emacs is in the wrong mode
now i know that i'll never stop doing this
cause our 3rd party software keeps on giving us fits
i did an RTFM
read K&R all day
it's "Error!" "Big Error!" "Nasty Error!" "FATAL ERROR!"

Gateway to heaven (Stairway to heaven)

There's a lady who knows
All the systems and nodes
And she's byteing a Gateway to Heaven
She telnets there, she knows
All the ports have been closed
With a nerd she can get
Files she came for

Woohoohoo
Woo Hoo Hoo HooHoo
And she's byteing a Gateway to Heaven
There's an motd
But she wants to be sure
Cos she knows sometimes hosts have
Two domains
In a path by the NIC
There's a burdvax that pings
Sometimes all of our flames
are cross-posted

Woohoohoo
Woo Hoo Hoo HooHoo
And she's byteing a Gateway to Heaven
And it's processed by root
Unix Labs will reboot
NCR will then listen to reason
And a prompt will respawn
For those yet to logon
And the networks will echo much faster

Woohoohoo
Woo Hoo Hoo HooHoo
And she's byteing a Gateway to Heaven
If there's a lookup in your netstat
don't be .alarmed now
it's just a pinging from the link queen
Yes there are two routes you can type in
but in the long run
there's still time to change the net you're on
(I hope so!)

And as we find stuff to download
We ftp and we chmod
There was a sysadm we know
Who changed the server to her own
She had root privs and she used chown
She hacked out on the DDN
And if you tail her stdin
Then you will find what you had lost
And get it back with cpio
To be a hack and not to scroll...

And she's byteing a Gateway to Heaven

Eileen "ET" Tronolone 

Tap my wire ("Light my fire")

You know that I would be untrue
You know that I would be a 'foo'
If I was to say to you
We couldn't hack ourselves to root

Come on hackers tap a wire
Come on hackers tap a wire
Try to set the mode-bits higher

The time to sit and watch is gone
No time to linger in the shell
Try to make crack-programs run
Yes we will make the tty's bell

Come on hackers tap a wire
Come on hackers tap a wire
Try to set the mode-bits higher

Historia de la Red

First there was God. He was quite lonely so he created Dennis.
Dennis was unimpressed with God.

So,... God created Brian.

But, Brian got bored with God.

So Brian and Dennis started playing, and they created C. God saw C,
and saw that it was good. So he decided to let Brian and Dennis play
some more. Then Brian and Dennis created Unix. God saw Unix, and he
was jealous.  So he created Bill to torment Brian and Dennis and obscure
their creation (for God could not destroy Unix, for he secretly admired
its perfection).

So Bill created Microsoft. And Microsoft created Windows. And God saw
that it was bad, but it had market share, so he was happy. Then Bill
got cocky, and his ego got bigger than God's. So to knock Bill down a
couple of pegs, God put into effect, a wondrous plan.

First God created Tim. And Tim created the World Wide Web (using Unix,
of course). This was good, but not THAT good. So God created Marc. Marc
created Mosaic (using  Unix, of course). Mosaic created a huge feeding
frenzy that has got a lot of people who are reading this their jobs.

But that's a different story. Mosaic was good, and God saw it was good,
so he allowed Marc to start Netscape. Back to this later.

But all this time Brian and Dennis started to make something better
than Unix called Plan 9 (because God was successful in foiling Brian
and Dennis' previous seven plans [there was no Plan 8 because Brian
and Dennis pulled the wool over God's eyes and just jumped to Plan 9,
which was too bright a move for even God to figure out.] )

Eventually, God figured out how to create Larry.

No one knows how or why he created Larry, except perhaps to reduce
productivity at the Jet Propulsion Labs at NASA. [Rumors are that God
created Larry because he secretly liked what Dennis and Brian had done
with C, but didn't think C and Unix was enough -- this probably isn't
true because God believed he had destroyed Brian and Dennis' plans by
destroying Plans 1-7, and by creating Microsoft to slay their beloved
Unix.

Anyhow, Larry created Perl (using Unix and C, of course), and God saw it
was good, so he made Randal. Larry and Randal wrote books about Perl.
And everyone saw that this was good, except snobs who were too much
into C, Windows, and Intel. (It so happens that Randal was so cool he
figured out a way to break into Unix at Intel, and Intel sued him for
it but that's another story also -- chances are Randal would not have been
able to break into *Plan 9* at Intel, but Intel isn't cool enough to be
running Plan 9) Anyhow, back to Randal. So Randal and Larry wrote books,
but they had to be nice because of the people they worked for. So then
came Tom. But back to Tom later.

Anyhow, God saw Netscape (made using Unix and C, of course), and he saw
it was good, and that annoyed Bill quite a bit. And that made Him very
happy, and made Marc very rich. But Bill was very very rich. But that's
a *completely* different story.

But as good as Larry's creation, Perl, was, it couldn't do everything,
so God created Scott. Scott announced Java, and this was big news. Now
Java really pissed Bill off, because Bill also created Blackbird, and
Java killed Blackbird. This was bad because killing Blackbird also meant
killing the Microsoft Network. And many rejoiced over that, but that,
too is another story.

Now Java, obviously had done much to annoy Bill. For Java was so good that
Bill had to license Java. All this time, Scott poked lots of fun at Bill
because Sun, which was where Scott worked, made a better OS, derived -- of
course -- from Unix, which was better than Bill's and Microsoft's Windows.

Anyhow, even God's creations Steve and Steve who created Apple
couldn't make Bill license the much superior MacOS. But finally, Bill
had to license Java. So justice was served, and Bill's ego was served
him on a platter for him to eat his words. Or something. That part is
unclear. So by this time Windows and Microsoft and Bill in general really
sucked. Especially considering the advantages that Brian and Dennis' C
and Unix, running Marc's Netscape and Mosaic over Tim's World Wide Web,
doing cool CGI stuff with Larry's Perl, which you learned from Randal
and Tom, and got to program with Scott's Java.

And God realized he had put Bill down too far. So then God made it so that
Marc's Netscape and Mosaic could run on Windows. We already know that
Bill had to license Java from Scott. We know that Bill missed the boat
for not beating Tim to the punch on the World Wide Web. The last straw
was for God to make it possible for Larry's Perl to run on Bill's Windows.

So back to Tom. Tom was a Perl God. And God didn't like this, but Tom's
a God so there isn't much God could do, so He couldn't stop Tom from
saying things like "install an operating system on your poor lonely
computer the way God and Dennis intended", and "Espousing the eponymous
/cgi-bin/perl.exe?FMH.pl execution model is like reading a suicide
note -- three days too late."

The moral to the story? God is fickle. That's why Microsoft and Bill and
Windows exists. Do what God intended, install C, Unix, Mosaic/Netscape,
Java, and Perl on your system, and make Brian, Dennis, Larry, Tim, Tom,
Randal, Scott, and even Steve and Steve, I'm sure, happy by doing so.

Oh yeah, Linus was cool too. He's the guy you thank for being able to
run all the cool stuff on your crappy little Pee Cee. (anything with
x86 on it, by default, is crappy, no PERSONAL flames intended)

The Swapper ("The Seeker", de los "Who")

I've looked in kernel memory,
I've looked in the tables.
I try to find some core
For fifty million pages.
They call me the swapper.
I've been searching low and high.
Unix won't run out of memory
Till the day I die.

I asked Dennis Ritchie,
I asked Ken Thompson.
I asked comp.unix.wizards,
But they couldn't help me either.
They call me the swapper.
I've been searching low and high.
Unix won't run out of memory
Till the day I die.

People tend to hate me,
Cause I swap too slow.
As I page out their jobs
They want to shake my hand.
Focusing on swap space,
Investigating pagefaults,
I'm a pagedaemon,
I'm a very desperate hack.

Unix won't run out of memory
Till the day I die.

I learned how to raise resident set size.
Yeah, but look at this process it's mem'ry bound!
I'm happy when you segfault,
and when you run thrash.c I crash.
I get values but I
Don't know how or why!

I'm looking for core,
You're looking for CPU,
We're running on the same box,
And we don't know what to do!
They call me the swapper.
I've been searching low and high.
Unix won't run out of memory
Till the day I die.

Extracto de apuntes

(...) Como siempre, el análisis económico primará sobre todos los otros posibles análisis y determinará la elección de un proyecto. Esto es una prueba más de la carencia total de escrúpulos y la ausencia de moral de un sistema caduco, decadente e inhumano como el capitalista. La existencia del hombre debe prevalecer sobre la aplicación del sistema, y no supeditarse a él.

Las tres virtudes del buen programador (según Larry Wall)

1. Vagueza. La calidad por la que haces un gran esfuerzo para reducir el gasto general de energía. Te hace escribir programas que te ahorran trabajo que otra gente puede encontrar útiles, y documentar lo que escribes para no tener que responder tantas preguntas sobre ello. Por ello, la primera gran virtud del programador. También por ello, este libro.
2. Impaciencia. El enfado que sientes cuando el ordenador hace el vago. Esto le hace escribir programas que no sólo reacciona a tus necesidades, sino que además se adelanta a ellas. O al menos lo intentan. Por ello, la segunda virtud de un programador.
3. Altanería. Excesivo orgullo, del tipo del cual hace que Zeus te machaque por ello. También la calidad que te hace escribir (y mantener) programas de los que otra gente no quiera decir cosas malas sobre ellos. Por ello, la tercera virtud del programador.

Nueva letra de Something

Something in the way it fails,
Something in the way it coredumps...

I don't want to leave it now
I'll fix this problem somehow

Somewhere in the memory I know,
A pointer's got to be corrupted.
Stepping in the debugger will show me...

I don't want to leave it now
I'm too close to leave it now

You're asking me can this code go?
I don't know, I don't know...
What sequence causes it to blow?
I don't know, I don't know...

Something in the initializing code?
And all I have to do is think of it!
Something in the listing will show me...

I don't want to leave it now
I'll fix this tonight I vow!

De cuando a BillyPuertas le tiraron una tarta a la cara

"Brussels police department, how may I assist you?"
        "Uh.. yes.. I just got hit in the face with a cream pie."
        "Okay, sir. Have you called the Brussels police department before?"
        "No"
        "Well, let me get a little information about you for our records. Your
name?"
        "Bill Gates"
        "Country?"
        "The USA"
        "Native language?"
        "English."
        "Okay, sir. Your police department ID number is BP31415927. Please use
this number the next
        time you call. Now, you say you were hit in the face with a pie?"
        "Yes, I was just about to meet with the Belgian Prime Minister. One
person distracted me while
        another hit me with a cream pie."
        "We've had other customers report that they were hit in the face with
a custard pie. Are you sure it
        was a cream pie?"
        "Well, I have white stuff all over my face and I don't see any
custard, so I really don't think it was
        a custard pie."
        "Have you visited the Prime Minister before?"
        "Yes"
        "Were you hit in the face with a pie then?"
        "No"
        "Hmm... have you visited any other Prime Ministers in the past month?"
        "Yes"
        "Any pies then?"
        "No"
        "Okay, well.. let's try something. Go outside the building and come in
again. I'll wait."
        "Just a minute.." (several minutes pass) "Okay, I'm back."
        "Did you get hit by another pie?"
        "Of course not"
        "Well sir, I don't know what could have caused the first pie, but it
looks like things are working
        fine now. I'll make a note of the problem, though. If it happens
again, please note the exact details
        of the situation and call us again. Thank you for calling the Brussels
Police Department. (click)"

Chistes cortos

• Hay dos tipos de personas: Gente que HA utilizado Linux y les gusta, y gente que NUNCA ha utilizado Linux y no les gusta.
• ¿Te has dado cuenta de lo rápido que va Windows? Yo tampoco...
• Elija dos:
  1. Eficiencia
  2. Velocidad
  3. Estabilidad
  4. Windows (vale por dos)
• ¿Te asusta la velocidad? Prueba Windows 95
• Windows y DOS: La tortuga y su caparazón (shell en inglés)
• Nunca olvidaré la primera vez que usé Windows (aunque lo estoy intentando)
• Un ordenador sin Windows es como un pez sin bicicleta
• Windows: It's not pretty. It's not ugly. But it's pretty ugly.
• Truco del día: añade la siguiente línea a tu CONFIG.SYS:

  	DEVICE=FNGRCROS.SYS
  

• Alt-F4: Just do it.
• Si no tienes éxito a la primera, es que debes estar usando Windows.
• Micro$oft es al software lo que McDonald's a la alta cocina.
• IBM creates new OS -- M$-DOSn't.
• Truco del día: añade la siguiente línea a tu CONFIG.SYS:

  	BUGS=OFF
  

• No queda espacio libre: ¿Borro Windows? (S)í ¡(C)oño, sí!
• Game over. Exiting Windows.
• Se ha encontrado Windows. ¿Lo borro? (S)í (V)ale (D)e acuerdo (B)ueno...
• ¿Qué significa NT en Windows NT?
  • No Thanks
  • Nice Try
  • Neutered Technology
  • Nothing There
  • Needs Testing
  • Needs Tinkering
• ¿Qué haces para que el Windows vaya más rápido? Lo tiras con más fuerza.

El lenguaje de los vendedores de ordenadores

What they say:                  What they mean:

New                             Different colors from previous version.
All New                         Not compatible with previous version.
Exclusive                       Nobody else has documentation.
Unmatched                       Almost as good as the competition.
Design Simplicity               The company wouldn't give us any money.
Fool-proof Operation            All parameters are hard-coded.
Advanced Design                 Nobody really understands it.
Here At Last                    Didn't get it done on time.
Field Tested                    We don't have any simulators.
Years of Development            Finally got one to work.
Unprecedented Performance       Nothing ever ran this slow before.
Revolutionary                   Disk drives go 'round and 'round.
Futuristic                      Only runs on a next generation supercomputer.
No Maintenance                  Impossible to fix.
Performance Proven              Worked through Beta test.
Meets Tough Quality Standards   It compiles without errors.
Satisfaction Guaranteed         We'll send you another pack if it fails.
Stock Item                      We shipped it before and can do it again.

Comunicación con Marte con Linux

/*
 * [...] Note that 120 sec is defined in the protocol as the maximum
 * possible RTT.  I guess we'll have to use something other than TCP
 * to talk to the University of Mars.
 * PAWS allows us longer timeouts and large windows, so once implemented
 * ftp to mars will work nicely.
 */
(from /usr/src/linux/net/inet/tcp.c, concerning RTT [retransmission timeout])

Pequeño programa

#include <math.h>
main(){int i=5;for(;i;)printf("%c\n",(int)(81+7.3*sin(i---5.75)));}

Chiste informático

El biólogo: «¡Mirad! Un grupo de cebras! ¡Y hay una blanca! ¡Fantástico, seremos famosos!»

El estadista: «¡Eh, calmaos, no es significativo. Sólo sabemos que hay una cebra blanca!»

El matemático: «En realidad, sólo sabemos que existe una cebra que es blanca por una cara»

El informático: «¡Oh, no, un caso particular!»

Sobre Dios...

Stallman: «¡Dios me dijo que yo había programado el mejor editor del mundo!»

Torvalds: «¡Pues a mi Dios me dijo *yo* he programado el mejor sistema operativo del mundo!»

Knuth: «Un momento, un momento. Yo nunca dije nada de eso»
