cscope is good if you get a ton of code that you know nothing about dumped on you. You can quickly jump around files by setting the cursor on a symbol, and it will also tell you stuff like "find functions calling a function."
This also has the advantage of being religion-neutral: cscope also works with vi.
P.S. Sorry to interrupt the flame wars with some potentially useful information.
The Stasi (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stasi), East Germany's secret police, ended up collecting so much information on its citizens that it was impossible to process and analyze it all. "Some calculations have concluded that in East Germany there was one informer to every seven citizens."
Sure, the NSA has all kinds of wizz-bang gadgets to sort and process their stuff, but I wonder if the same thing is happening with them?
.. I see, the cable of set of cheapo earphones, a Thinkpad power cable, power cables to Logitech speakers, a usb cable to a Logitech wireless (ha, ha) keyboard and mouse, a USB to my porn drive, a USB to a DVD Drive that I never use, a cable to really fucking expensive Shure headphones (hey, I was looking for those), a USB cable to fuck-knows-where, Nokia teeny-tiny power cables . . . all messed up better than a Gordian knot.
But I digress. If some mathematician can come over with a theory, and sort this mess of knots out, I'm buying the beer.
Wars increase economic activity... needed to wage wars. After a war is over, the economy usually goes to Hell in a Hand-basket, because waging a war has distracted everyone, and other aspects of the economy have been neglected. "Yeah, we built a lot of tanks, and won the war!"... "But our infrastructure is a shambles."
At least no one has suggested a system to correlate wireless access point data with the CCTV data, "to better protect against terrorist, etc." This picture of this guy, and this data was sent.
Well, I don't know why intelligent people would move there, but with all those dangerous varmints, critters and creepy-crawlers around... the folks that have survived there must be smart enough not to mess with Mother Nature.
I think its hard to go wrong with modern oscilloscopes.
Well, at my University, about 25 years ago, they started a energy saving plan, and turned off the heat in the classrooms and labs at night. Being that computer/electronics geeks tend to be nocturnal, we were freezing our balls off. So we scrounged up every available big old Tektronix honkers, vintage HP wave generators, anything with TUBES gathering dust in corners somewhere in the department.
We had the place up to sauna temperature.
So, do not neglect the tube factor. Plus, audiophiles claim that tubes are better anyway.
And plan to spend more for your connecting cables, as for the oscilloscope. Big, fat, "Monster" ones, made out of iridium, platinum tipped.
I think I really miss those old Tektronix tubies... they made a real *whack* when you turned them on, and you could look through the perforated cover to see the tubes light up.
The N8XX series (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nokia_N810) is a brilliant platform and is open source Linux. You can even download a VMWare image of their development "scratchbox" and muck around with anything you like, and install it on the phone.
Everyone can deal with the hour back (-1) in the fall stuff. The hour ahead (+1) in the spring is a bitch.
So, why not simply do -23 hours in the spring, instead of +1? Everyone get almost a day to piss away again, and the clocks still have the same time in the end.
The N96 went on sale here at the beginning of the month, and I saw zilch on advertising. I bought one, because I already have an aging N90 and an excellent, way-cool, just plain fun, N800.
The main interest for me is the better camera on the N96.
But despite my credentials, that would position me as a Nokia fan-boy, I am really not that impressed with it... yet... maybe I need to fiddle with it a bit more.
That I am not impressed with it, and that Nokia doesn't seem to be advertising it (at least in my country)... makes me want to go, "Hmmm..."

I find the cscope interface most useful: http://cscope.sourceforge.net/
cscope is good if you get a ton of code that you know nothing about dumped on you. You can quickly jump around files by setting the cursor on a symbol, and it will also tell you stuff like "find functions calling a function."

I dont particularily care how it was lost, people will always manage to lose things and expecting otherwise is very niave.
Quite true ... was this one the only one they lost?

And pizza
I'll spoil the election for you: McCain wins.
See they should have used something more malleable, like cables, instead of these rigid tubes.
Yeah, especially with so much Viagra traveling through the Internet.
Oh, I forgot; he uses Twitter.
Find me a fossil and then we'll talk.
Fossil?!?!
My privately funded Mars mission plans to bring back real, live, dead Martian Roadkill in a freezer!
Watch for it on CNN.
Seriously, you might have missed the "Scientific Hoax" thread, a while back. This latest water-on-Mars news opens up broader horizons for hoaxers.
But, how do you convince folks that you have actually been to Mars?
Nah, people will believe anything they want to.
Wars increase economic activity

"Yeah, we built a lot of tanks, and won the war!" ... "But our infrastructure is a shambles."
And why not? It sure worked wonders for Deep Space Nine and Voyager's ratings!
After the war was won on Deep Space Nine, the series ended. They never showed what happened afterward: soldiers returning home, demanding jobs, etc.
But, of course, this "getting-distracted-by-a-war-and-leading-your-economy-to-Hell" can't happen this day and age.
At least no one has suggested a system to correlate wireless access point data with the CCTV data, "to better protect against terrorist, etc." This picture of this guy, and this data was sent.
Well, no one has suggested it, yet.
Actually, I thought, "Wow, good old colonialism, just like the Opium Wars (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Opium_wars)!"
Move into a developing country, and get the masses addicted to something that only you can provide.
Despite being a convicted felon, he is not required to drop out of the race or resign from the Senate.
WTF?!?! Seriously?
"Let's get felons off the streets of America, and back into Congress where they belong!
Would intelligent people move to Australia?
Well, I don't know why intelligent people would move there, but with all those dangerous varmints, critters and creepy-crawlers around ... the folks that have survived there must be smart enough not to mess with Mother Nature.
They tried it twice. Once a group of 'doers' and no thinkers and again with a group of 'thinkers' and no doers. Both failed.
Well, how about then trying it with a bunch of folks who are neither 'thinkers' nor 'doers'? The world seems to have an abundance of them.
When your national debt is in the tens of trillions
Stop spreading FUD, it's only a single ten of trillion.
That was true when you posted, but in the meantime ... that national debt grows like crazy ... he must be eating his "Wheaties" ...
. . . and where can I buy some?
Well, it doesn't seem to be in the fine print of my new passport (without RFID!), but my old one states:
THIS PASSPORT IS THE PROPERTY OF THE UNITED STATES OF GOVERNMENT.
Followed by a paragraph titled:
ALTERATION OR MUTILATION OF PASSPORT
Prosecution (Title 18, U.S. Code, Section 1543), etc ...
I wonder if the new ones state: "This passport is only valid with a functioning RFID chip."
Alan Greenspan: "The economy is in the shitter because of computer error.
HAL 9000: "I'm sorry, Alan, this could only be the result of human error."
I'll tend to break ranks, and side with HAL on this one.

Alas, it lacks, a cell phone.
If that joke was actually said, it was very funny.

This joke is so old, that only /. COBOL programmers might get it, ca. 1961:
Reporter: "Mr. President (John F. Kennedy), when will we send a man to the moon?"
JFK: "As soon as Senator Goldwater has his bag packed."
Please feel free to recycle this joke by replacing Kennedy and Goldwater with Obama/McCain/Bidden/Palin/Britney Spears/David Duchovny/etc.
