I noticed that comment myself. But there are other books that deal with C++ coding style, one which was recently reviewed here on slashdot.
It would have been interesting if he applied some of the cognitive analysis to OO, but that could have doubled the length of the book. Two volumes perhaps?
In any event, I was paging through it, and already found some useful bibliographic references. Also, I find his prose very easy to read and straightforward.
The other posts above dissing the book really go too far. There is a lot of useful information here.
Agreed. I think this thing is primarily for kids who get bored easy and want to be entertained by their phone. While their parents probably foot the bill.
I learned morse code when I was 15-16. That was a long time ago before the internet and BBS even. So if you wanted to talk to other people far away you used ham radio.
I loved hame radio and talking on morse/CW all night long. The internet has pretty muched eclipsed that for me, as I am sure it has others.
So it can be done if you are a teenager - the motivation just has to be there.
Wrong. This is not a dupe... this article suggests a way to draw conclusions from that experiment and provide Morse as an input method for the cell phones
I admit, after RTFA, I find some of the notions quite interesting. But because the article referenced an article about the kids SMS going against the telegraph/morse code, it gave the article the "reek of dupeness", being that it had been duplified before. So I guess you could say the well had been poisoned.
If the article had not mentioned the earlier link, it would not be nearly as bad. As it is, it looks kinda like a troll submission.
They're smart for doing it, but it's damn annoying that we have to put up with it.
Smart for being obvious?? Or being smart for manipulating the patent system so it will grant you a patent on something that is obvious by those working in the field??
That will only go as far as Microsoft will let it. Meaning that if MS wants to, they can close it down with their patents on C#/.NET. I would hate to code under that condition.

But does it work on Linux?
Joke aside, that's the question I was asking myself. Why learn a platform specific language when you can use a platform independent language like C++, Java or Ruby?
Windows is wonderful (well, not really), but there are other platforms out there as well.
More importantly, will it be able to vertically integrate with a scalable ecommerce solution to provide dynamic interaction for the customer and enterprise??

let's hope Tempel 1 isn't some sort of cometary offspring
Silly, it has a crust. Which means there's a caramel nougat center.
It cannot be!
Maybe someone needs to give him a free beer?
OK, then I want "showand.tel"
How long before we have a Congressional equivalent?
But aren't Jedi supposed to be good??
at least 3 truck bateries by your side.
Or an extension cord. Apple will give it funky colors.
It'll sell.
if you get put on hold you can listen to your own music instead of theirs?
Damn. I'm gonna patent that.

If there was a nuclear war there would be two things left.
A cockroach, and a slashdot article about kids SMS messaging and morse code.
Holy Repost of a Repost Batman!!
Reminds me of a song my grandma liked. It went something like this;
Dupe-a-dee-doo-dah, Dupe-a-dee-ay
My, oh my what a wonderful day!
Plenty of sunshine heading my way
Dupe-a-dee-doo-dah, Dupe-a-dee-ay

At least you didn't call Tony Blair "Dubya's lap dog'.
Now that would be mean.
Word has it that they're going to move to Sealand/Havenco [havenco.com] - Take that UK!
Which means that the UK government sends a group of commandos to seize Sealand.
It might take 15 to 30 minutes to accomplish.
The problem with 67cshdocs.com is that he is an Army physician.
If you are in the Army, they pretty much can tell you what to do (or what not to say).
Unlike the general population that can say anything it wants.
Besides, the truth about the Iraq war and the lies it was/is based upon is clearly evident to anyone who is not a Dubya fanboy.
To see what it looks like you could go to APOD, which is good for your little daily Astronomy fix/news.
Zzzzzzap!
They used a zapper because the laser didn't quite phase her??
Thank you, I'll be here all week.
Why destroy when you can simply have everything be encrypted?
Yes, but we have tinfoil hats for a purpose. The government has big computers that can break encryption..
Mess with my box and if I'm feeling generous you'll just have the FBI breathing down your neck for computer trespass.
Unfortunately the FBI is lame. They won't even talk to you if your loss is less than $5000. And even then it is difficult to get their help.
I think the problem is partly that hacked systems are so prevalent thet they are unable to keep up with all the requests.
It's better to make sure that your own system is secure rather than trying to chase down a two bit crook who happens to be in Romania.
I wish that there was greater international cooperation in this area, but the interests simply are not monied enough.
I heard it was transmitting this:

Powerball lottery numbers??
I mean, what else are we looking at?
Arrr, we Pirates be up t' the task o' takin' care o' your money transfers Gar, Ye'll ne'er get me buried booty!
Yeah, but will it play Duke Nukem Forever??
