"Note that the bytes are saved in reverse order in the memory as Intel uses Little Endian representation. That means the most significant bit of every byte is the most left bit."

Haven't they got this backwards? Little Endian means the least significant bit is stored first [0].

Re:What if men weren't allowed on Facebook? on Wednesday August 27, 2014 @06:52PM (#8235069)
Correction: if you only let white people on a web site, then the members on that site will discuss anything they want to discuss (which certainly includes many many more topics aside from white supremacy), but the discussion will take place from the perspective of white culture and white values. There will be a greater chance of deeming other cultures irrelevant to the discussion or (most commonly) simply forgetting that these other cultures don't exist.

With that in mind, you have a logical hole in your statement "If you only let women on a website, it is going to be about womens issues, etc". Women.com will be about women's issues because it is currently being marketed to the general public as a place for women to discuss women's issues. It will not be about women's issues solely because women are allowed on the site. Women who aren't interested in what other women think about women's issues won't find this site very interesting. In general, women will discuss what they want to, where they want.

Re:Americans don't trust each other anymore on Sunday December 01, 2013 @01:04AM (#6826335)
It is worth noting that before the early 2000s, the same messages of distrust came from citizens. Forums, IRC, Internet culture in general promoted distrust of the government, distrust of businesses small and large, and an attitude of "we are smarter than normal people".

All across the Internet, people like you and me would post about how incompetent the average American is. We would aspire to be independent, logical thinkers, but unfortunately, this mindset almost requires the distrust of other people.

Now that the Internet has become widely adopted in the mainstream, this type of thinking pervades, and perhaps has penetrated the mainstream attitude.

Can you elaborate on this? Where would you go to meet these people?
