    Baki: That is not how you would write the C# iterator, that is how you would write the C# iterator consumer. Consumption of iterators in both languages has been easy from the start using the while/for constructs. However, creating iterators is actually somewhat difficult in C# 1.0 with its cursor based iterators (.Current and .MoveNext) and even more difficult with java's .HasNext and .Next.

    For example, take a tree structure and try to write an iterator for it in java. Now do the same in C#, what you'll see is code like this:

    IEnumerator<T> GetEnumerator() {
    ...foreach (T child in left) {
    ......yield return child;
    ...}

    ...yield return val;

    ...foreach (T child in right) {
    ......yield return child;
    ...}
    }

    Pretty simple to understand and to create.

    It's very funny that you quote him accusing you of basing your arguments off old systems, and then reply with an argument based on old systems.

    In case you didn't know, on XP SP2, the "Are you sure?" dialogs are largely replaced (mainly within IE) with a modeless "infobar" at the top of the window that you can easily ignore and that you have to explicitly click on and go through a menu to unblock whatever "unsafe" behavior just got blocked (like a file download or activex). There is no in your face dialog to which you can accidentally say Ok.

    After this was first seen (as an IE feature) in the SP2 beta, Mozilla copied it. From mozillazine:
    The most recent Firefox nightlies feature a new user-interface to manage the XPInstall whitelist. When a user tries to install software from a site that is not on the whitelist, a thin non-modal yellow bar appears at the top of the content area, informing the user that the install has been blocked (bug 241705). A button allows the user to add the site to the whitelist if they choose. Testers of the beta release of Windows XP Service Pack 2 will probably find the yellow bar familiar: it's almost a carbon copy of the new Internet Explorer Information Bar that appears when an ActiveX control is blocked.


    Oops, are we not supposed to talk about that here? I know that acknowledging when Microsoft adds something good or fixes one of their problems violates the party line that Microsoft never "innovates" and that OSS never copies from them, so feel free to go back to bragging about how stable linux is compared to Win95.

    The article Anatomy of a Software bug quoted in another Slashdot story tells the story of an MsWord bug. A "Write Error" can occur when saving a document after several hours of work. The article says you can workaround the problem by doing your editing in Normal view. (As opposed to Page view(?)--I'm not an MsWord user either.) That may be the problem you noticed.

    The bug was created with the introduction of multiple undo/redo in an old design. I understand from the article that large parts of MsWord need to be rewritten. Will that ever happen or will it die? How can software survive more than 10 years at a leader position? Probably not without recurrent and effective code refactoring.
