Apple Newton

I just purchased by auction an Apple Newton Messagepad 120, one the first PDAs, and released almost 10 years ago, which means that it gets the status of real vintage hardware in a few months. ;-) Anyway, having a vintage PDA is nifty. I will report more on it as soon as I have it in my hand.

PHP sucks

code:


$x = 0xFFFFFF00;

printf("%08x %08x\n",$x,~$x);

output:


ffffff00 7fffffff

That's not quite what one would expect, is it? That kind of unreasonable and unexplainable behavior makes me hate PHP even more than before.


Update: you need to explicitly cast $x to int before doing the bitwise negation. *gna*.


$x = 0xFFFFFF00;

printf("%08x %08x\n",$x,~(int)$x);
