| *Grin* This sort of condescending attitude is rarely wise when it comes |
| 12 |
| to dealing with Gentoo devs. Not only does it tend to annoy people |
| 13 |
| (yes, I'm a tad annoyed by the presumption), but since you're still |
| 14 |
| relatively new here the odds are that people know the person you're |
| 15 |
| being condescending to better than they know you, and thus it just makes |
| 16 |
| you look bad if you're wrong. Feel free to ask people what I do for a |
| 17 |
| living, and whether they suspect that I know the difference between a |
| 18 |
| 64-bit pointer and a 32-bit int. |
| 19 |
You would be suprised how many people assume they can safely cast |
| 20 |
pointers into ints and back. Thankfully, this is finally on the decline. |
