    It's too restrictive anyway, what we need is a global tagging system, where site owners and users can tag a site/subsite.

    slashdot.org - news, nerds, ...
    politics.slashdot.org - news, nerds, politics, ...
    wikipedia.org - encyclopedia, free, incorrect, correct, ...
    scientology.org - scientology, religion, sect, good, bad, hoax, true-religion, pornography, ...

    Then anyone can decide for himself/herself what to filter out... But of course this wouldn't work either.

  15. Re:C++ template concepts vs. C# generics constrain on Bjarne Stroustrup Previews C++0x · · Score: 1

    What you say is true for C++98 templates, but C++98 templates are not the same thing as C++0x template concepts. C++98 templates grants you to use any member (function, typedef, variable, etc) of a type, but C++0x template concepts does not allow you to use any other member than those specified in the concept of a type.

    And using C++ template concepts - "Oh, in 2009, AC is going to need to use an int in a template that needs the CountDown member function, we better make int implement it".

    Same thing, different taste. (Not that primitives have member functions in C++, but feel free to exchange int with something other.)

  17. C++ template concepts vs. C# generics constraints on Bjarne Stroustrup Previews C++0x · · Score: 2, Informative
    The difficulty in the design of "concept" is to maintain the flexibility of templates so that we don't require template arguments to fit into class hierarchies or require all operations to be accessed through virtual functions (as for Java and C# generics). In "generics", an argument must be of a class derived from an interface (the C++ equivalent to "interface" is "abstract class") specified in the definition of the generic. That means that all generic argument types must fit into a hierarchy. That takes foresight. For example, if you write a generic and I define a class, people can't use my class as an argument to your generic unless I knew about the interface you specified and had derived my class from it. That's rigid.

    C++ template concepts are no better (or worse for that matter) than C# generics constraints, they only bind differently: C++ binds to a name, C# binds to an interface. Both are equally rigid. Both require foresight. In C++ you don't have to derive your class from a specific interface, but on the other hand you still need to implement the function knowing what name it will be accessed through (i.e. should it be named begin or Begin or GetBegin).
