I've noticed in gcc 3.x that #include "header.h" looks for system header matches *before local scoped headers.
Is it just me or is that wrong and annoying?
I've had to distribute shell scripts to swap out filenames for compilation ( which wouldn't be fun to do by hand, trust me ) everytime gcc3 compiles the code base.
I don't track gcc3.x, but has this been fixed or is it intentional to cause confilcts you can't possibly predict on another system?
Here's a problem you could predict as an example:
#include "endian.h"
Then lots of odd compile errors ensue confusing the user. Also #include seemly includes -- wtf is up with that? Are these people using old/bad gcc3.x builds?

I made a tiny hack util to recover MS office files and RTFs from partial/full disk images I call recover-word, after seeing a lot of damaged floppies/zip disks. I might even make it more efficent one day. However, I did just add a hack to make it automate stripping partial images from a damaged drive, albeit it's not very smart. =)
If you try it please send in comments and suggestions - I'm pondering making it usable for lay data recovery persons. I'm pondering adding my unreleased hacks for various other formats like JPEG or just making it use a RC file with a header dictionary and a simple lisp syantax for reading it. Then agian I worked on this maybe in 3 sit downs since I hated doing the recovery by hand over and over. =)

Listen that's not true at all. You can run anything you want when you rename the EXE to a runnable like 'notepad.exe'. Add to this Word VBA scripting and you'll have admin on the box in seconds. In our lab we have people still installing porn and crap b/c it's so easy to do this.
On a floppy copy an alternative shell for windows and name it say winword.exe. You most likely can run anything you want off the floppy, so then you just run say the kernel debugger or the MS hole of the week ( ie is weak to loading HTML scripting attacks off disk also. ) -- and then you can use policy editor to start mounting all those hidden windows shares and hijacking other user's computers.
This is why windows is a joke - suid programs and permissions controls by name of a file.
I run Arena: The Elder Scrolls under it also. It's pretty nice it's SDL based and works in windows also.

Shattering Windows

Windows NT/2000/XP all have problems with applications running at 'System' or another level below 'Administrator' ( root ).
For example:
1. Setup a win2k box with a user, and make it so that this user can only run the app MS Word using your little GUI profile editor.
No write access to drives, no shell, etc.
2. Log in as that user.
3. Now run MS Word and...
Press Alt+F11 Press F5 Enter "wolf" as the procedure name Enter "Shell "cmd.exe", vb.normalfocusfoo" Press F5
Now using commands like 'control userpasswords' you can fuck up your nice little system.
Also using command.com ( 'NT DOS' ) with your macros you can get beyond kernel rescrictions, which is like the ntsd kernel debugger bug a while back that the patch didn't fix.
Basicly you can still 'own' a network with your garden varity macro virus still.
Hell, I consider it a feature -- you forget your admin password or want to install something by sending a 'macro agent' around the network.
Also don't forget XML+IE+Outlook, DDE, and OLE holes. Btw I never report these exploits I find... I guess BugTraq hates me.

If everyone not just ignores but protests the law/patent then it can be invalidated.

You must be new to UNIX like systems. You see there is a reason we don't have 50MB executables from all the static linking and DLL hell. We use shared objects between all apps to save disk space, development time, and main memory. I see you complaining about rpms, so maybe you should try a distro like Debian GNU/Linux, and expand your horizons.
For example if we did shar archives ( what you want with your 'setup.exe' ), then you'd have to install all of KDE to just get QT libs. You'd have to install all of GNOME to get gtk+. You see why that's piss poor way to do things just from a packaging standpoint even if you don't understand the techincal aspects? Also versioning would be impossible to support. Versioning is allowing multiple libs to stay on the system without conflicting, so apps can use various versions as they choose. To support versioning you'd have to have N number of KDE installs.
