The saddest part of this story is that Netflix/Amazon/younameit will continue to ignore and block Linux users as the niche market they are -- even if a future Firefox or Chrome version comes with the new standardized DRM everyone

OK, agreed. C (and C++) just suck regarding this detail.

Archaic and impractical. Example: Instead of using Linux' pragmatic approach to function prototypes: "In function prototypes, include parameter names with their data types. Although this is not required by the C language, it is p

Under what license may I reuse those snippets -- or are they too short to provoke legal issues anyways?

C++'s template-based sorting mechanisms allow for the same optimization without manually special-casing anything. (The compiler "integrates everything", to quote the author, out of the box.) C++ port of Postgresql, anyone?

Nice. Please add more GCC versions (3.x and 4.0 through 4.3?) and the most recent clang/clang++ releases! Direct pastebin-style links would also be great.

For stationary setups, this is for the first time a real win for touchscreens in comparison to a conventional screen plus a pointing device (mouse, trackball, you name it). I'm really curious what they'll make out of this.
