Dependency graph
This can help you produce a dependency graph and visualize your rats nest. 200 files isn't that big. My project has 1500. Coverity can identify unnecessary include files, leaks, bugs so forth.. Read Lakos to learn a lot about dependency control and physical design. There is a big difference between cleaning up the code to placate Coverity and producing a good testable design.

Australia, centre of the world! (cool map link)
You need MacArthur's map!
Australia, centre of the world!

Re:Which way does it turn?
I doubt we could answer that one way or another (as we can't resolve the object well enough at those distances) but first, we need to determine which direction is up, and which is down. We have people even on Earth who don't agree on that one.

Re:North is ... which way?
Well, he wrote it for the Australians.

Re:Looking great
Oh, get over it. It was funny. (context)

You Insensitive ClodsWhat's with calling it "the bottom of the world"? In space there is no "up".
Arrogant Southist assholes. Allow me to refer you to a more correct map of the planet (though I'd still prefer to see an equal-area projection used instead of Mercator's abomination.)

Re:Related to those old Candian pirates *arr*
Oh, we've been trying to civilize our southern neighbours for quite a while...
Ahh, maybe that's why you declared aboot 200K of us to be Canadian citizens recently. I thought it was because you'd graduated from sheet music piracy to citizen piracy. It was a bit of a shock to learn last week that I was a Lost Canadian who has suddenly been found. Just one question: Where is Canada, anyway? -
Software Reverse Engineering Tools
In a reverse engineering course, we learned to use a series of tools to produce a high level organization of software using Module Dependency Graphs (MDG) based on relationships of interest between classes. After applying a clustering algorithm (using a tool called bunch) on large graphs for simplification, we would view simplified MDG's using Dotty. Here are some relavant links for those interested: www.mcs.drexel.edu/~bmitchel/research/tooldemo.pdf http://flourish.org/cinclude2dot/ http://tarind.com/depgraph.html

It's the one on the left
Unless you're in China or Australia or New Zealand. Then it's the one on the right.

Re:That's okay
Down under? A popular misconception. Hold on a sec, just gotta feed my kangaroo and get the dropbear of the kid...

Re:Smarter than a TiVo...
Unfortunately, most people don't learn about other contries by looking at a globe (when was the last time you looked at one?) -- they look at a map. World maps in 2-D can be pretty misleading. Many people see the Mercator projection, which does make the US look bigger than Australia (especially if country borders are not included). Compare the difference in an equal-area projection map. ... most foreigners don't underestimate the size of Australia (it's pretty evident by looking at a globe) ... -
More monocultures
While you're at it, why not also suggest that they have their typing classes teach Dvorak? And stop using English, instead have half of the classes taught in Mandarin Chinese! Their maps are North-centric too, why not a little diversity there, as well? The metric system is fine too, but there are some important places that customarily use Imperial units, so there's another place to diversify! Good Luck!

CVS is King!
Actually, my point is, that until someone makes their version control system a drop-in replacement for CVS, CVS will still remain the king.
I like the fact that I can use several different clients for CVS.
On Windows :
WinCVS is a nice CVS system for windows.
CvsIn is a plug-in for MS Visual C++ written by Jerzy Kaczorowski.
TortoiseCVS is a plug-in for Windows Explorer written by Francis Irving.
cvsscc is an SCC interface for CVS.
Jalindi-Igloo is a SCC interface for cvs using the WinCvs shared libraries. It's written by Graham Robertson and it's free!
There's also the command line version.
On Linux, there is a ton more choices.
The simple fact of the matter is there is a million different ways I can access the same repository, no matter my platform.
Until someone comes out with the server that supports CVS's whacked out protocol on port 2401, I ain't ever gonna switch.
I've been running the same CVS repository for about 4 1/2 years on an old Pentium 90 in my basement. I've got hundreds of project sitting on it, and it works fine.
Yes, I'll acknowlege that CVS has it's down sides, but hey, at least it's universal. ;)

Re:Mac Filter/Proxies
Auckerman mentioned this below... webfree
but you might also check out http://www.flourish.org/adremove/.
You can also use a proxy.pac file to selectively block ads if you have a javascript capable browser like Netscape/Mozilla/IE etc.
