    I'm waiting for SCO to show it's copied code before I pick up any GNU software.

    Flamebait?

    Nah.

    Funny as hell, though - Visual Studio is an absolute joy to use.

    Compared to what?

    Having your head nailed to a table?

    Read the parent post as:

    I don't understand anything about C coding or systems programming, can you please let me bury my head back in the sand so that I can just run D:\setup.exe and load my gamez?!

    Soliciting is illegal in the US, except for some counties in Nevada. Usually they spell it out on the arrest warrent, like so: ``soliciting for prostitution''.

    I am reminded of a document describing how compilers are like women and assemblers like men. Googled for it, but didn't find it.

    The line I remembered was "things you've been doing for years that seemed OK are now suddenly wrong." I consider myself a pretty astute programmer, but every new compiler version seem to have some new warning to add.

    As a result, I consider my relationship with my compiler no less volatile than that with my wife. Keeps me on my toes anyway.
