Don't let Raymond hear you look up paths this way.
I hope your script doesn't run on a corporate network where they remap those paths! There is a proper API to look up these directories (and has been since Win98 or so).
I have to endure the horrible mess that is Eclipse when programming C++ under Linux at work.
Want to examine an STL object? Here look at the bits under the hood, but you can't see your data. Want to lock up everything if you have a breakpoint set on a non-existent code line?
VS makes it soo much easier to view (and change) objects. Edit & continue is extremely useful. The next (free) version comes with static analysis tools.
I've recently had to modify a kernel driver for Linux. I ended up writing a framework and wrote and tested it under Windows because Linux doesn't give you any help debugging drivers unless you have a serial port (which the target doesn't).
From the documentaries I watched on Discovery, the reason supersonic travel isn't here for the masses is because Boeing couldn't catch up with Concorde. Boeing persuaded Congress that overland supersonic flight broke windows and killed cattle so they banned flights over American soil. Other governments caved in as well. This effectively meant that the only route possible was over the Atlantic. Concorde2 would have carried more passengers further and more efficiently, but it was canned because there was no where to fly to.
Here in the UK at least, the local library is free, and you can get (almost) any book delivered there for free (used to be 30p I think!). Although my library is very small (probably 1000 books), the staff are more than helpful and will be able to get the book you want from some other library. I haven't bought a book for years. What's the point when a good quality, hardbacked version can be borrowed for free.
I'm sure you aren't using.NET, but if you were, FxCop will check for spelling mistakes in code and comments and strings, along with 1M other coding issues (like malformed variable names, parameters).
Doesn't Visual Assist from Whole Tomato do this? I've used it in the past and I'm sure spelling mistakes (and a whole host of other things) were pointed out.
I'm not associated with Whole Tomato, but if anyone from WT sees this, can I have a free subscription:-)
I used to work at a place that as part of the backup, the compare function was run. After 12 months of pestering I pursuaded the IT manager to actually try restoring the tape and guess what?... the tape wouldn't restore.
In fact non of the tapes from the last 12 months would restore!
After the drive was repaired things were checked a couple of times, then the compare function was relied upon again.
I left a while later and AFAIK a restore has still not been tried.
I remember a front page article from The Telegraph (respected UK non-tabloid paper), that said Saddam Hussain (I believe) claimed that Shakespeare infact was from Iraq and he was actually called 'Sheik-E-Spear'.
If you actually read the article, you would see that they do know about Mozilla, Firefox etc because they will be writing stuff to allow these browsers at a later date.
D-Day was the fourth date available for the British sojourn to France in 1944. Before it were A-Day, B-Day and C-Day, all of which were cancelled due to bad weather.
Do you Americans no nothing about WWII except the big bomb bit?

Doesn't C++ allocate classes with virtual functions, similar to this?
class show_me_the_money
{
private:
char string_read_from_user_input[8];
public:
virtual uint64_t money_func(int show_me);
};

Have I said free enough

Open in as much as the manual you got with a PC came with the BIOS assembly listing as an appendix.
I remember looking through the hard cover (was it purple) ring bound manual in the late 80s.
You want to know how to write to the display, look for the interrupt vector 0x10 and follow the code.
Perhaps the average use couldn't copy it, but hey, why would you want to, you've already got a PC with a BIOS.

It would be interesting to know what happened when you returned. What was useful, what was not. Were you really needed, etc.
If you actually read the article, you would see that they do know about Mozilla, Firefox etc because they will be writing stuff to allow these browsers at a later date.
This is just 'in the first instance'.
BBC Top Gear did a test on this an eventually found that if you passed a speed camera at >180MPH you were too fast to be caught.

It's real, even down to not working correctly with Firefox (Ctrl+, Ctrl-).
As long as there is the sex and drugs, I can do without the rock and roll.
These are Americans we are talking about. If they got 50% bigger, most of them would collapse under their own gravitational pull.
250m American blackholes in Blackburn, Oklahoma. Now they know how many American blackholes it takes to fill the Albert Hall
We still develop in QB (compiled for extra speed). Unfortunately, DOS support for RS232 has been discontinued in XP.
... Borland C++ V4 !!!!
We now have to re-write all our apps in something more modern
Yeah!
1968 + 25 years = 1993
Windows 1.0 launched 1983?
So in your eyes, development of windows should have started in 1993, we are now 12 years later and we should be amazed at the launch of windows 3.11
Nice future.
Can't their web server just reject or redirect any page requests that don't have a referrer field of their own web site?
Free to play, but you can unlock the whole game for $12/yr.
Less than 1hr/day will get you up and rolling in no time.
I worked for a short while on a DSP which could only access everything as a 16 bit word.
Caused some confusion when doing 8 bit serial communications I can tell you.

I used one today to mush up some boiled eggs.
I've used one recently to make mashed potato(e)s.
Why do I want to put my linux distro through one, or even compare my linux distro to one?
A confused cook.
And how the eckle feckin do we back that baby up?
We use PC/104 boards.
:-)
Unfortunately, we still write compiled MS BASIC running under MS-DOS 6.2
The computer may have 16MB of RAM, but we're stuck with 640KB.
Event protected mode DOS is just a bit too new tech for us here
