This is an actual transcript from an Air Force training video.
The missile knows where it is at all times. It knows this because it knows where it isn’t. By subtracting where it is from where it isn’t, or where it isn’t from where it is (whichever is greater), it obtains a difference, or deviation. The guidance subsystem uses deviations to generate corrective commands to drive the missile from a position where it is to a position where it isn’t, and arriving at a position where it wasn’t, it now is. Consequently, the position where it is, is now the position that it wasn’t, and it follows that the position that it was, is now the position that it isn’t.

Update: The new Reddit statistics are now here.
Here are the statistics I gathered from Google Analytics about who visits Codexon. After a month of using it, this website has received more than 52,000 hits. Unfortunately I could only take screen shots because there seems to be no way of sharing the interactive map.
About 78.5% of the visitors are from Reddit and 7.78% from Hacker News.

An Inconvenient Truth is a documentary by Al Gore about global warming. I just wanted to share an amusing thought.
…the Great Lakes are the remnants of that huge lake… one day it broke, and all that fresh water came rushing out, ripping open the St. Lawrence there, and it diluted the salty dense cold water, made it fresher and lighter so it stopped sinking, and that pump shut off.
The North Atlantic Heat Pump
And Europe went back into an ice age for another 900 to 1000 years… Now, of course, that’s not going to happen again because the glaciers of North America are not there… Is there any other big chunk of ice anywhere near there? Oh, yeah [camera pans over to Iceland].
So I suppose this means that global warming will turn off the heat pump (which caused an Ice Age) and will cancel each other out?

Let’s say for some reason you don’t have a disassembler and you wanted to find the address of a place in your program. This is useful for things like finding out how the size of a function, stack, or some code.
There are many ways to do this.
Probably the easiest way is to use GCC, a free compiler.
int main()
{
int c;
here:
c = 5;
printf("Address: %p", **here);
return 0;
