Until they take the "paper" out of paperwork, it would not be trivial. The "paperwork" needs to be *completely electronic* AND *completely free of charge* before it is acceptable.
Kahle should NOT be supported. The protection of GPL work is reason enough.

It is not a C++ "issue". It is a feature that every expression can be evaluated. So "if (c=3)" will evaluate to "if (3)" after the assignment.
Again it boils down to features vs foolproof. If I have a choice, I'll stay away from C and Java, then choose something somehow higher level than C++ but lower level than C#.
Granted it doesn't have Gnome hooks built-in, but it is GTK+ 2 (thus fully supports unicode), have MORE features and SMALLER than the wimpy featureless Metacity.
In fact, using your analogy, Metacity seems to be the Wolfenstein 3D.
It's just Another effort to make Gnome "multiple programming language friendly" than "user friendly". Geez aren't they obsessed.
Time can be better spent elsewhere, for example, using network transparancy of CORBA, adding back features deleted from Gnome 1.4 in the name of "simplicity" (sorry, it is not defined that way), creating a better open file dialog box, and fixing bugs.
I completely agree with this previous story and think Miguel is leading Gnome to a wrong direction. I'll stay with the other favorite desktop.
Apart from the non-floating currency rate issue, there's one more thing to think about:
Now that India is able to build nuclear bombs, and has its software industry taking off - is it not an indication that it can stand on its own, thus the world can stop sending money to "help" it? Is the government spending the newfound taxmoney on weapons but not on its peoples living conditions?
Of course it has nothing to do with outsourcing to other countries, but it is something to ponder because it looks like somebody is having the cake and eat it too.

How about
// C++
list<string> strings;
copy(strings.begin(), strings.end(), ostream_iterator<string>(cout, "\n"));

And a couple of years after that, they'll start look different again.

Maybe Objective C will fit the bill.

Man: Will you be available tomorrow evening?
Woman: Sorry, if today were tomorrow, then I would be availble, but today is not tomorrow, so I'm not available.
Man: Fuck that. Speak English.
That is why you're not paying $45 for Linux. I downloaded mine for free.
If Windows has the same amount of innovation as Linux does, then I expect it to cost $0, too.
And you think Windows Media Player is not a malware.
If anything Media Player is the WORSE of the two since it doesn't tell you anything...
Look at who's doing most of the work in order to verify the sender, and the price paid by the spammer. It's where the problem is.
How many percentage of US citizens live under the poverty line compared to India citizens?

Theory is right with one precondition: currency exchange rates follow the rule of demand and supply.
But they do not. Some currencies are artifically cheap in order to bolster exports.
Why? Because SCO did not use Word to type that email, if they did, they would have the nipped the spelling errors...

I'm not a VB programmer - just trying to be helpful with the discussion here - I know for a fact that VB *CAN* integrate with Java and C++ libraries.
Of course, it is completely offtopic.
