Re:The Sorry State of C++ Portability on Wednesday October 24, 2012 @02:44PM (#4694377)
If one is determined to use the more exotic features of C++ this will happen, I've had code that the MS compiler coped with and GCC didn't, so it cuts both ways. If one is going to write cross platform code, you do this research up front then restrict yourself to commonly supported features, going template wild then moaning about it on a blog seems a little short sited to me.
Re:Julian Assange Talk Show on RT channel on Sunday May 13, 2012 @02:13PM (#3967751)
When I first saw RT I thought 'this could be interesting', however after watching it for a few days it became obvious that it is hilariously bias. Every time I turn it over they are busy flogging the OWS dead horse as if it's some virtuous world-wide freedom movement whilst maintaining an almost total silence on the anti-Putin protests. Their moralizing on Afghanistan is also pretty hypocritical, they must think we have short memories. Hilariously it's also produced in the US. Wouldn't it be good to have an unbiased news channel?
