I believe Microsoft have announce intention to put this kind of functionality in a forthcoming version of C# (not the one in vs 2003, the "next" one whenever that is).
You're all going to want a reference now, aren't you...
C# Programming Language Future Features There you are.
I'm confused. Are we complaining that the intrusive, privacy-busting cameras are being taken offline to allow protesters to do what they like without being monitored? Maybe I'm just being a bit thick.
In principle, this is no worse than "the green man", a folk-religion symbol that is often insinuated into the carvings of old English churches. (e.g. Chiseldon, nr. Swindon, Wilts).
But in a Christian church, a bit silly.
.NET has no support for non-local returns so #Smalltalk uses exceptions to simulate non-local returns.
Hmmm. Would it not be better to convert the blocks to auto-name-generated subroutines. Using exceptions to generate non-local returns will certainly make it fun to debug under VS.NET or something, if you can't tell what's really an exception and what isn't.

The talk of the "quality without a name" is strangely reminiscent of Pirsig's "Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance".
Are we descending into Taoism here, or is it just me?
This is pretty sensible advice. Most C# shops I've worked in stick to the standard MS coding conventions.
I would also stress: use the inline documentation stuff a log (/// comments). Use NDOC to generate documents from the XML output. Make use of the using() {} statement to encourage early resource disposal.
[Ellison] deemed the Sun Microsystems Inc.-backed OpenOffice.org suite "almost usable" and predicted that as such software becomes more robust, Linux will begin making inroads...
Sure, I love "amost usable" software. There's another phrase for "almost usable". It's "not actually very useful".
It's a cut-down version of C++ with native support for properties and delegation.
I respectfully suggest this is not the case. There's lots of stuff in the C# language which isn't in C++. Garbage collection, for one. As you point out, properties and delegation also exist in C#. And there are things like metadata and reflection that go beyond C++ RTTI in terms of consistency and easy of use.
The whole point of Java and.NET aren't the C# and Java languages, but the huge class libraries. Until those are standardized, ISO C# doesn't mean much.
reasonably necessary to assure fairness to the individual
So if they implement it well enough to assure fairness, what's the actual problem (apart from slashdot kneejerk "gu'ment-is-bad-ok"? Is there some level of extra vigilance that would make it more fair in some way? Surely fairness is an absolute... isn't it?
If I implement a an IT system well enough to ensure compliance with the spec then that's good enough, surely?
Sun issued a statement condemning the move, saying that "IBM and (Microsoft) have now moved away from a leadership position in Web services standards and become a disruptive force in the industry."
I read this, thought "I bet the slashdotters will denounce Big Bill and leave IBM alone". Was I right?
.Net 1.1 will provide Windows Server 2003 operating systems with what Microsoft calls a Global Assembly Cache.
This has been around for ages in.NET, and doesn't look like anything new to me. The image that comes to mind is of Dr. Evil putting "la-ser" in hand speechmarks.
Oh yes, and if you look in your history books you'll find that C owes a lot to a certain language called BCPL developed by Martin Richards at Cambridge University in the 60's...

.. fallen down the back of the sofa like every other lost item in my house.
Sometimes a coincidence is just a coincidence.
So the UK has a few cameras that note what you do IN PUBLIC. They help catch CRIMINALS you know. When there's a camera in my house then I'll worry.
I'm tired of Slashdot YRO advocates painting the UK as a police state.
Serious, maybe. Troll, possibly. Funny? I don't think so
var answer2 = function(q) {return (-q); }(-42);
print(answer2);
Save to anonf.js. Compile from command line with jsc anonf.js, then run anonf.exe. Prints "42".
A quick look at the ILDASM output suggests it's compiling the anonymous block on the fly using the Microsoft.JScript.FunctionExpression class.

Map, say, T: to \\yourfiles\whereever
Then use /cygdrive/t or whatever
Excuse me, no manuals to hand, above could be wrong in detail.

Now this I do agree with.
Pleeeeze...
Well I stand corrected. Next time (slaps head) I shall read ALL the words.

Tell that to the states with a death penalty.
