My favorite is the "weak" attribute. http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Function-Attributes.html Makes separate compilation for languages that compile to C much easier.

To all RIM naysayers: use a Blackberry and be delighted. Yes the web experience kinda sucks, but other than that Blackberries are all around fine phones with months of uptime without a single malfunction. I still wait to see that from any o

You might voice your comments in the IETF's rtcweb WG, which as I understand is the forum for specifying this functionality in a cross-browser way. http://tools.ietf.org/wg/rtcweb/

His argument against using classes/objects is that objects (in mainstream PLs) can't be accessed in a dictionary-like fashion. But switching to dictionaries wholesale for this reason seems to throw out the baby with the bathwater. The loss

Is misc.foo better than misc_foo? My point being - a point also raised by Joe - is that just "adding dots" doesn't solve anything.

Terminology has context. Complaining about an article on perl.org not mentioning what CPAN is, is like complaining about an article on cars.com not mentioning what BMW is.

emacs? Stop talking in acronyms and obscure names. Same for vim, frankly. Most people younger than me don't get it when you name-check vim. What does that stand for? :P
