I am an OS athiest: I have no allegance to either Windows or Unix - I write code that compiles and runs on both.
I find that VC++.NET (ok, ok 7.x) is actually a better compiler then gcc (3.2.1). VC++ 6.0 - well that was a bit of a dog. With fleas.
The VC++DN code is smaller, and faster, and I find that in most cases it has better compilance (still has some template problems admittedly).
I am porting a fairly large class library from gcc to VCC right now - and I find that the same code runs about 20% faster under Windows XP using VC++ 7.1 than it does under Linux (RH 8.0) using gcc 3.2.1 - on the same machine.
In a month I port to the Intel compiler on both Linux and Windows - it will be intersting to see which combo produces the best performance. I am suspecting Intel on Windows... but we'll see.
...well, that is if you have written a 10 line program (but the point is still valid)! Had the poster meant "vector" I am sure he would have typed "vector".
BTW, gcc allows this, but shouldn't:
int myArray[someScalarValue];
Visual C++ 7.x chokes (as it properly should). I haven't tried any other compilers.
I bought this thing in 1993 I think. It has worked like a charm ever since, no problems.
My only big complaint is that it doesn't feed paper very well. I will admit that this sometimes annoys the hell out of me (when it prints a page on the roller b/c the stock got hung up in the "tray" and you have to feed a piece of paper thru it 4 times to absord the mess).
A month or so ago it started to squeak when form feeding... I am wondering where to shoot the dab of WD-40.
Most geeks seem to forget that there are these rules known as "building codes" that regulate how houses are built and just what type of material is required.
Good luck getting THAT requirement inserted into local building codes. Most of these codes derive from what is known as the International Building Code (IBC). The electricity and wiring usually derives (in America) from the National Electric Code (NEC)......but not always... and municipalities love to change their codes on a yearly basis. Moral: let your general contractor deal with this because you WILL get it wrong if you do it yourself. Not a big deal... until an inspector fails your new construction and you have to rip out a bunch of drywall to get your wiring up to code (true also for >60% renovation).
Speaking of which... when you do have your new construction/renovation wired, be sure that your wiring is to code (plenum rated cable if appropriate, no drilling through fire breaks, no sharing conduits with romex, that sort of thing).

Feed your child right. Be his or her parent. Turn off the TV. Get the child to run around a bit every day.
Lawdy, the chillins be Cured!
Soon, your OS will be based on a RDB, so get over it.
...report this to the approriate contracting agency.
IF this is federal government contract, what your company is doing is illegal.
Remember the Turtle?
That will get thru to a 6 year old.
Polymorphism... perhaps that can wait a few years.
...much the way they did to Linux when FBSD had to be rewritten (BTW, it took considerably longer than a week).
Not that I think most Linux heads would give a rats ass if their software was willegal or not...
...or part of SCO ...or something like that? Isn't SCO a hopped up version of Microsoft Xenix?
I certainly don't know the particulars, but you wil find my questions point to reality... to withing a few degrees.
...(which is only every two or three years - I am not the great world traveller) my pockets are always stuffed with coin.

While very mildly annoying, I suppose it is better than having no money!
Seriously, the 2 and 20 cent coins over there seem to be a waste. Over here, I rearly use the dime.

USA wins, hands down.
Every source I find states that dynamically sized stack arrays are not allowed under ANSI C++.
C++... not C.
The last time I coded in C, K&R was still popular.

To the user spam is [not..extremely] annoying.
The the telcoms and ISP's, spam is [very] expensive... which drives up the price if internet services for us all.
If it were simply a matter of otherwise harmless irritation as you seem to contend, this would be a nonissue.
...as far as hogging bandwith if one has their mail client to include the text of the email being responded to.
Every time you have a back and forth email exchange the conversational thread gets longer... and longer... and longer... every single time one sends.
While I find this feature useful - 99% of the time it is wasteful. Especially if you include full header information in the text!

It is great to see MS bashers bash VSS thinking they are bashing MS code.
