No, it was for his explanation of photoelectric effect.

Because this is just another "put-down" type of article. If people don't wear masks, the an article would say wearing it is better than doing nothing. The purpose is for social influence on its targeted audience. It is not necessarily concerned with really solving the problem. If you go to Chinese sites, there are a lot of articles discussing this issue in a much more constructive manner.

Incorrect. Among Chinese philosophies, Daoism prefers naturism and promotes following one's own nature while checking one's own will, while Confucianism and Legalism favor central government with different approaches.

Even if that rumor is true, it means the start of building one, not launching one

That's how he left Obama with no choice but to shrink it.

I am not familiar with hardware as much as you are, but I think you can still keep a counter of re-entrance as a safety measure. If a function fails this way, action is not taken, like acceleration of the car.

Safe recursion is you check the depth and stop at a certain level. Not totally uncrashable, but safe.

Or simply lend money to Bush for him to invade Iraq.

So you accept the premise that something on top of Linux or another kernel is not something of their own? How about Android or OSX?

Well Linux is considered a piracy by Microsoft already. Can Microsoft drug itself?

Forget all the advice about the memory. It is all about the method.

If you write down the steps you do your work and compare that with other people, it's easy to figure out how to improve. But you can also do your own optimization. Once you realize the importance of a good method, the way to do things, you don't need much memory.

The Chinese classical book, Dao De Jing (literally the book of the Way), says "if you learn every day your knowledge/memory increases; but if you understand the law (Dao means the natural ways/laws of the universe), your knowledge decreases (but you can do more).

Every sentence in this book is this profound if you can understand. It also contains concrete advice on how to understand Dao. It is a philosophical book not a religious one (although many read it like a Bible). For those who suffer intellectually, this book is a savior.
