It will overflow to filler[3]. ie the 4th byte. see the struct sockaddr:

	 * first 2 bytes: Address Family,

	 * next 2 bytes: port,

	 * next 2 bytes: ipaddr,

	 * next 8 bytes: zeroes.
so filler[2] and filler[3] will form a short which will contain the port number.
Decoding Floats 12 years ago

When dealing with floats, it should be noted that unlike a 32-bit `int` which is a signed 2's complement representation; a 32-bit `float` follows single precision floating point representation which is 1 sign bit, 8 exponent bits and 23 mantissa bits. Not that there's anything wrong with the article, i just wanted to put it here.

Can you blame Linus for saying that? I can't speak with precision about 1999, but someone assumed to have a CS education should know the difference between semaphore and spinlock.
