I'll try and stick with it.

Fortunately his buddy at the sawmill was available.
Did you ever see history portrayed as an old man with a wise brow and pulseless heart, waging all things in the balance of reason?
Is not rather the genius of history like an eternal, imploring maiden, full of fire, with a burning heart and flaming soul, humanly warm and humanly beautiful?

With only one "Yes" vote - and that a bit dubious - It's a resounding "no".
The CCC OTD will resume on Tuesday.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Is that like politics where a failure to vote indicates a lack of caring?
|
|
|
|
|
Yep.

I hope this means I can have a bank holiday on Monday too!
Oh wait, the boss is away Monday, how's there's an idea...

I was just working on some code with self referencing entities and I got my while loop all wrong.
Apparently, creating a few infinite loops in JavaScript and running them in Chrome crashes my external network device leaving me without an internet connection until I reconnect the device
|
|

|
|
I do embedded code here. The same mistake would have killed a few tester.

I remembering forcing that back in college on a VAX/VMS system...create an program with a counter, start a 'for' loop, jump out of it, display the counter.. and repeat.
How long would it take to pop the stack?
|
|
|
|
|
VAX? For an experiment, I (and the security officer) ran the following three batch files (content displayed). The VMS system limited internal loops to 25 redundant iterations.
A.COM SUBMIT B
B.COM SUBMIT C
C.COM SUBMIT A
It was done after hours on Friday - right before the normal shutdown of the system.

Yes, VAX/VMS... circa early '80s... long before OpenVMS.

How long is an infinite loop?
... such stuff as dreams are made on
|
|
|
|
|
Twice as long as half an infinite loop?

Since infinity x 2 is still infinity, then by extension half of infinity is also still infinity.
|
|
|
|
|
And extending that:
½ × ∞ × 2 ≡ ∞

Longer than it needs to be.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

|
One less than ++(infiniteloop).

Well, that's a piece of p***.
In C, it's 10 characters.
while(1){}
As for the question I presume you seek the answer to, how long will it run? Meh, someone else can take that.
