Communicating on the Go - A Guide to Traveling and Staying in Touch
In late 2009, I spent about two and a half weeks in Rome, Italy, which is far removed from my hometown of St. Louis, MO. Italy, France, Asia, etc. – all these countries are outside of AT&T's nationwide coverage plans, and since I wasn't going to be traveling for many weeks, I decided to not sign up for AT&T's extremely expensive worldwide plans, but rather did the following, which allowed me to stay

One complexity of buffered IO on Unix
It is surprisingly challenging to get buffered IO completely correct onUnix, and one area that trips people up is correct handling of EOF. Yousee, there's an important different between EOF on files and EOF onterminals, as a consequence of how terminals generate and signal EOF : EOF on files is persistent, but EOF is onterminals is not.
If you read repeatedly from a file that has hit EOF, you will almostalways just get another EOF. But EOF on terminals is a transient thing,so
