I don't like looking at my own C++ code let alone other
peoples. At least with C, if the code compiles, its rarely 
too blecherous for me to look at and usually trivial to fix 
even if it isn't. For C++ code the flaws are often in the
design which makes it easier to rewrite from scratch than
it is to fix it.

Thats C++. No thanks, not while I have one in a C.

"The RIAA is obsessed to the point of comedy with the frustration
of having its rules broken, without considering whether such rules
might be standing in the way of increased revenues. Indeed,
Napster and Gnutella may turn out to be the two best music-marketing
gimmicks yet devised, if only the RIAA would take its head out of
its ass long enough to realise it."
