copycat

Для тех, кто не понял, повторяют. Сегодня опять рухнул самолёт, в Остине, Техас. Да не просто рухнул, а врезался в здание налоговой.

Перед тем, как наказать налоговую, гастелло поджег свой собственный дом.

Жертв нет (кроме гастелло); трое раненых доставлены в больницу.

В США 500 тысяч пилотов; если каждый день будет один падать, хватит на 1200 лет (а потом, глядишь, арабы подтянутся).

looking into a puzzle...

I have a circular file array to store incoming data (since they come randomly, and I'm only interested in the last n); for the sake of sanity check, in my unittest, I have added verification of the fact that timestamps are increasing (as if anybody cares on the consumer side, but I was just trying to make sure the code does not produce shit); now what I see: randomly (yes, it is stupid to run System Under Test in a separate thread, but could not figure out how to bypass it) timestamps are out of order, like this:

900, 1000, 1200, 1100, 1300, 1400... 

Kind of interesting problem, is not it? I'll figure out, but it is funny anyway, how could I possibly achieve it, when there's just one producing thread... ( cut! )

You should read this - the software engineer that flew into IRS in Austin, TX, explains in long details how he decided to fight capitalism. Just because salaries are low and taxes are high. Bush to blame.
