There are two programs on my computer, true and false, which simply return 0 and 1, respectively. I.e.

Code: Show/Hide int main(void) { return 0; }

So I decided to see how large their executables are.

Code: Show/Hide $ ls -l false true -r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  34060 Dec 25  2005 false -r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  34060 Dec 25  2005 true

The timestamp is kind of weird too...

I don't see your point... Is this some sort of question, or is it showing off.

Also, that program you gave, pretty much does nothing. There is no input or output. All it does is enter the main function and then terminate on the first line.

Maybe I'm missing something?

[Cyan~Fire]

Yeah, stop showing off!

C programs have a somewhat large base size, but it expands pretty slowly. I did get the same program to 24K, though.

I'm commenting on a program that comes with the operating system OS X (intel) in /usr/bin, in others in /bin or whatnot. 33K to return 0. Just simply writing a C program that does the same thing makes a 16K executable on the same system, which can be stripped down to 13K with strip. On Debian it's 3K.

You think I'm trying to show off? Huh? WTF?

Now I'm missing something.

Oh, your testing and finding out information. I didn't really understand what you were doing, and there was no question, so I saw now point in it. That's good your testing it out on your own, but try a search next time (unless you want hands on).
I'm sorry, I didnt't really think you were showing off with such a simple program, but now I see it's your test subject. Sorry about that, mate.

MGB, May I take this moment to suggest that you copy the banning system I implemented on the forums you host for me?

Also, can you ban blah-er?

Oy.

I understood Sam's original post without any problems...

I was only making fun of blah-er.

[Solo Ace]

I totally agree. blah-er needs to be banned, really.

Because the ignore function still leaves those lame "youve ignored this person" box and not even you can deny that the triad of bdwinsalt, blah-er and quanchi amount to nothing more than an annoying IRC script kiddie crew. Hell, I'm somewhat suprised I haven't been ddos-ed for some of the flames I've directed at them.

Besides, I wouldn't have brought it up if it didn't provide some level of entertainment. I modded the banning system so it works much like an in-game silence. They can post and do everything normally, except no one other than them sees it.

[Cerium]

Good to know.

Now then, exactly how much does it take to buy you off?

[Bak]

does the ignore thread still only ignore the oldest 20 threads, essentially only ignoring a single thread as soon as you reach 20?

No, you get 50 ignored threads. Once you hit 50, any new ignores will unignore the oldest thread. You are currently sitting on the limit, you try and ignore two different threads and tell me which one(s) were removed when you ignored two new threads.

To view all the threads you are currently ignoring, its in the View Ignored List, under XX thread(s).

[CypherJF]

Eh, nm this post. If only I knew who the 2 users are who are ignoring me. :-/

It says I have 50 topics ignored but on the search page it only returns 48.
