Steve Fossett Declared Dead

Parallax Blue writes "Millionaire adventurer Steve Fossett, who risked his life seeking to set records in high-tech balloons, gliders and jets, was declared dead Friday, 5 months after he vanished while flying in an ordinary small plane. The self-made business tycoon, who in 2002 became the first person to circle the world solo in a balloon, was last seen Sept. 3 after taking off in a single-engine plane from an airstrip near Yerington, Nev., heading toward Bishop, Calif. He was 63."

I am with Bjarne on this one.
Bjarne Stroustrup, creator of the C++ programming language, claims that C++ is experiencing a revival and
that there is a backlash against newer programming languages such as Java and C#. "C++ is bigger than ever.
There are more than three million C++ programmers. Everywhere I look there has been an uprising
- more and more projects are using C++. A lot of teaching was going to Java, but more are teaching C++ again.
There has been a backlash.", said Stroustrup.

You mean Ed Dames hasn't found him yet?

Of course, Ed would have trouble finding his tv remote. But he's made a lot of money fooling people!

I agree, it was not acceptable. So, what is your position on the Danish cartoons?

Chris Date is the leading authority

Chris Date is far more of an authority on databases than Jim Gray is. To call Jim gray the leading authority is very misleading.
