They have have advantages over non-manufacturer dealerships. For instance, parts would be internal and thus they may get them for just material cost which would allow for either lower service costs or higher margins both of which aren't ava

I agree. For the longest time my github had little in it except school projects. I finally decided to use it for personal stuff, or more like got used to the idea that my code would be public. I put up a few projects and even then, I didn't

For students, they could use Pelles C ( http://www.smorgasbordet.com/pellesc/ ) which has support for C99 and C11 and is free as well. There are well established alternatives to C99. At this point, Microsoft would be trying to play catch u

"Know what else is bad? It's 2012, and MS still has no plans to support C99." This is a ridiculous statement. Microsoft wants to focus on C++ and will not put out a C99 compiler. Why is that bad? They obviously feel their efforts would be b
