Until they talk about games...

On: Gamers Better at Driving w/ Cell Phones?

I disagree with this research.

I have two friends that, when they are driving, if we talk to them about games they loose concentration on what they are doing. One of these two friends had a lot of distraction moments including some facts like:

- almost crashed the car
- loosed entrances
- crashed the car

They both play WoW and we play them speaking to them that they must do a "driving quest". ;-)

I agree that playing some games can give better and rapid thinking in some things, but depends on concentration.

Caching Mechanism

On: Searchable C/C++ DB surpasses 275 million lines

Implement a caching mechanism for the more used search results. This cache would be invalidated when you add more code.

Show a few lines in the search results after and before the searched text.

Is the search case-sensitive or not? Maybe just adding a option like this on the search results can be helpful (eg.: include names on Windose platform are insensitive).

Implement statistics for:
  - most/less used function name
  - most used word in comments
  - most used dirty word

Count the lines of "dense" code. I mean do not include empty lines and lines that only have comments or a just a opening/closing brace.
