I'm just throwing this out there but anyone that knows any better please feel free to present an argument:
We use the blitz++ library in our laboratory due to benchmark findings that it is an extraordinarily fast package of matrix-type operations. It has been repeatedly argued that the speed of the library is due to the fact that it is entirely (I believe) implemented with templates.
If you'd like to read some hairy code... check out blitz++.:) And the errors you can get when compiling are simply astounding. AFAICT, though, it's damn fast.
So, no, templates don't necessarily lead to bloating/ugliness/slowdowns/whatever if done properly.

And where would that be?
"outside of Antartica" doesn't really narrow things down much
It is very wonderful to have such a rapid response!
You are missing the huge, major, large, heavy bit of 'net culture I am trying to impart to you about what it was like when Slashdot was new, though. I think.
At the time, AC's were encouraged, because _everyone_ was reticent about divulging any information at all.
But, maybe, I don't understand what you are trying to say...
For example, a conversation like this would not have been moderated down (to throw a bone into the fire).
In defense of the creators of Slashdot, I have to say that I was an Anonymous Coward for about a year before I took a "real" ID. At the time, there were many reasons to be paranoid about signing up for _anything_, let alone some random, marginally interesting website.
http and related protocols were being hashed out with reverse searches, fingerings of those that were using them, etc. It was not a "clean" transition at the time. (And it's still not. *grumble* *grumble*)
One of the nicer things about Slashdot is that they have defended some core interests from back when "the web" was new, no matter how ridiculous they might seem with modern tech.
It's a good thing. Slashdot and all involved have fought hard. So an AC is an imbecile every once in a while. Fuck 'em.
Everyone who cares will stay. The bad AC(s) will leave. Maybe someone will take their place, maybe not. It's not that important.
Providing the random expert a chance to contribute is well worth it.
So, the engines aren't doing anything especially interesting since they are only mixing gas vapor and water vapor.
Not interesting to _you_ maybe.
But have you ever tried to grab a hold of a pile of water vapor molecules and "mix" them with a bunch of gas vapor molecules by HAND?... it's a DAMN PAIN! Those buggers are fast and small and they never stay where you put them and they like to stick to random floating dust and ggaaaH!
Tell me how to determine the generation of your vehicle from the parent of my KITT post:
When you look at a paintjob on the hood of your transam, like mine, My black paint job, is clear to the look, like looking in a mirror, it reflects the clouds and they roll across my hood as I drive, now imagine if you waxed your car and didn't take the wax off. That is what this film would look like on your car. On a good paintjob you actually do look "through" at least two layers of clear coat, this gives the paint its depth, its shine, I don't want this to go away is all. Beautiful cars are my passion.
This is the second time you've insulted me out of the blue.
They're spending 50 million yen for one year, which is around $420k if they were to spend dollars instead, which would be stupid because they don't use dollars.
Besides, if you were to RTF article yourself you would see that the Japanese have budgeted $8.3 million in total.
One thing to keep in mind is the the President takes on a ship that's already well in motion. To say that a particular President or his party "caused" this or that to happen to the economy is usually bogus. The President is akin to a bullrider that either happens to be there when the bull leaps the fence or breaks its leg in a gopher-hole. This is even more especially true:) at the beginning of a term.
IOW, unless there is a clear correspondence between the enactment of some policy and a direct change in the economy as a consequence claims like "Look at what Dubya done did to da economy!" "No it was Clinton!" ?usually don't mean anything.
I remember distinctly trying to get that depth down right. I think I was playing some sort of tennis game or something. I never owned one myself and the one guy I knew who did had just got it and never let anyone else goof around with it too much before he'd get all excited again and take it back.
At the time I thought it was funny. Upon rereading it this morning, the humor's a bit crass and basically just "hard to get" in text. I shouldn't have even attempted it.
Don't know why I got on Slashdot after the bar's closed anyway... that'll learn me.

I know that in the Netherlands a tolerance of 0% is guaranteed for the AC frequency (@50Hz)
That's obviously total bullshit. If they have a cash-back guarantee you should start collecting.

We know something about our language.
I can only imagine that your comment is serious.

He didn't do either.
That's funny, not troll.
Well, maybe both.
But funny nonetheless.
I would think that both would carry more "weight".
Does the dialog box also send a report to the relevant "bad-designer" party?
It appears to me that this method only addresses the symptoms.

Dude, you have some misplaced anger issues.
I was asking if your car, a black transam with a shiny paintjob, was KITT from the Knight Rider series. It was a joke. Humor. Ha ha.
Lighten up. I'm sad to see you attempt to represent Americans with your attitude.
Why is this informative? It's bullshit.
...
It's not "like $50 million" in Japanese
They're spending 50 million yen for one year, which is around $420k if they were to spend dollars instead, which would be stupid because they don't use dollars.
Besides, if you were to RTF article yourself you would see that the Japanese have budgeted $8.3 million in total.
Does your car have turbo boost?
Super pursuit mode?
Do you not exist?
Did you write this post or did your car?
Did you use up all your linebreaks on the swastika?
Throw some into your rant there. Break it up.
That would be sweet.
It's all crap and the more you know the more your head will hurt.

You used them all up on penis birds, Mr. AC.
Surely you haven't forgotten already.
Yeah, it was pretty tough.

We were pretty young.

Call me CRAAZY but I ain't gonna huddle 'round no UPS fire with some guy named "Shrump".
Miss Titties, maybe, YEAH. Shrump, nooo!
Sorry.
