Why would they provide email support then at all? I don't think the customer should have to try a dozen or so means of support before finding a way which works.
I mentioned trigraphs as an example of a C standard feature disabled by default in GCC, and then I just mentioned how to enable just that feature. It wasn't supposed to be included among the most important options, it just got there ;-).
I started using one just recently. I'm not a web developer and I just installed WordPress less than a month ago. Apparently, PHP scripts are heavy to execute :S
I hope that I fixed the problem now by installing a plugin (QuickCache) which caches pages and serves a normal, static HTML page when possible instead of generating a new dynamically from the PHP scripts each time. I hope.
For those of you who get a database error, I think it is the huge amount of traffic I'm getting at the moment which causes this (>1000 visits last hour). I'm using shared hosting, which might have problems with this, so in one way, you are DDOSing my site ;-). I don't know if it is safe to tell you to just wait and reload the page, but do that, BUT NOT TOO FAST!
Thank you :). I agree it is always good to see a thing from as many angles as possible. Additionally, some author might have left something out which another one did not.
And, according to that article, they only compared 4 different languages. I think that C could've performed better (C compilers usually give little faster code than C++ compilers do) and well-written and optimized Assembly could do well as well.
