No. Microsoft bought QDOS from Seattle Computer Products in 1980 and,
with IBM's help, used it as the starting point to create MS-DOS which
IBM sold under the name IBM-DOS. This is why IBM had to Microsoft a
royalty on each copy sold.

I would more likely say you're on an ego trip to Bill Gates's heaven.
What you were literately saying is that the average Joe and Jane are as
thick as two short planks, which I agree with. However, on the other
hand, you say they shouldn't need to learn anything. Well, I would hate
to know a world where you didn't have to learn a skill to do something.
Maybe I should go to a medical school and say to all the students that
they are wasting their time learning, instead, surgery should be made
easier so you don't need to learn anything. That is they kind of
mentality that screw society. I thought that type of thinking was
removed back in the 19th century, when the poor and women weren't given
an education because they thought it was more trouble than it was
worth. You STILL after 200 years maintain your elitist overtures, and
you have learn't nothing from history. What you are saying is, "I want
people to remain thick so that I can still keep my very pathetic job in
a tech support department". I HOWEVER want people to learn new things
and expand their horizons. My brother, 15 years old, can use Linux,
ANDS HE IS NOT EVEN INTERESTED IN COMPUTERS! now, if you are telling me
that a 30 year old person can't even read a book, then god help
humanity!

That's basically my take on the whole matter as well.
I'm sorry to be a party-pooper, but I must vote against the execution
of Silverdork. Worse, if this were real life, it would be my
unpleasant duty either to prevent the execution, or to die trying.
Even though I can't stand the jerk.
My first inclination was to abstain from voting at all.
However, my oath requires me to defend life and due process of law,
among many other things, ESPECIALLY in a situation where the rule of
law has broken down, as would obviously be the case in a situation
where people were voting whether to kill someone without a fair trial.
The right way to do this is to see if there is probable cause to try
him for committing some specific crime, try him, and, if convicted,
punish him according the law.
If he truly is guilty of a capital offense, then the end result will
be similar. But it will have been arrived at legitimately, without
making criminals out of all of us.

If you want to know all about DHCP, you might want the book
mentioned here:
http://www.isc.org/products/DHCP/
but if the distribution you have doesn't include enough documentation
to use it, the base source distribution also mentioned on this
page would contain enough to make it work.

I agree with this, but my point was that the compiler does the brunt of the
work when dealing with exception support. The startup code to handle
exceptions is a small, one-time-per-executable cost. In retrospect, I
worded my previous paragraph too strongly.

I did a little experiment: I compiled a shared library with exception
support, then I compiled an application with -fno-exceptions that called a
function in that library. Everything worked just fine. Obviously, then,
the fact that there is no exception stack doesn't hurt code that was
compiled with exceptions yet doesn't use them. That alone mitigates quite
a bit of my argument. But it still stands that if a library throws
exceptions that the application wasn't compiled to handle, the most likely
result is disaster.

Since the compiler and preprocessor are completely separate entities in
GCC, pulling the same file in more than once (when properly guarded)
doesn't affect compile time proper. The OS's disk cache should smooth out
any other performance hit in real-world situations.

Ahh, I'd assumed that you meant that the C/C++ compiler would be efficient
at both languages at the same time. Shows me. Glad we're finding more
room for agreement.

I wouldn't be letting my 10 year old child perusing newsgroups on their
own. And then, if we encountered this same situation, I would have dealt
with it in a mature manner than most on here seem to be handling it.

intercourse with his camera is the REAL reason our friend above has

WANTS pure democracy. He wants the willadapipple to be first and
foremost. The Democratic and Legal (by his own definition) way to settle
the matter is by mob rule...er.. a legal Democratic election. So far..
the Ayes have it. Now that you understand that based on SDs OWN stated
desire for pure Democracy.. how do you vote?
