You can take a .o built with gcc (g++) and link it with a .o generated by clang (clang++) without issues. Same name mangling, same everything. This means that I on my system at least don't care anymore whether the project is built with GCC or with clang and I can use either or for my own projects.
The thing though is that the C++ standard doesn't have a default ABI, so saying that it is non-standard isn't even the case, that we get any compatibility is nice at all, and I understand that complaint.
The biggest issue I've ran into is that even with the same compiler on the same platform (using MSVC 2008) setting different compiler flags generated completely different code and memory layouts for std::vector that caused me to not be able to link against a DLL. At least some consistency exists with other compilers and different flags don't necessarily change compatibility.
I don't think it is entirely fair to compare WinRT with Foundation/Cocoa. WinRT has an entirely different goal than what Foundation/Cocoa provide, and Foundation/Cocoa provide none of the same things that WinRT provides such as a object model that can be used across different programming languages fairly easily. Mac OS X has nothing that even comes close to COM.
Yes, there is a lot of food that is on there where I can find myself saying "well, definitely not eating that ever again".
He could have written this on any mobile computing platform.
That being said, he did use short hand texting "speech" with his "w/".
Those are not just for automatic peer-to-peer they are for assigning addresses on your network that can stay the same no matter if you change ISP's and they hand out a new /64 prefix to your network...
There is a traffic light near me that has three lights on it, and there is a noticeable difference between when the first light goes from green to orange to red and when the second goes through the same progression. My friends thought I was insane until I took high speed photography of the same traffic lights and proved them that it was off by the tiniest amount (don't remember exact figures). The same thing can be said for PWM'ed LED's, such as the ones in certain cars...
If so what does this mean for Kim Dotcom going forward? Does that mean he gets back all of the seized assets, and start rebuilding MU?
Removing them after the fact with a HTML tidier would work, or you could just not care and let gzip handle the compression.
