I have to be honest with you. There is no upper limit on how much I hate the preprocessor. It is evil, evil, evil. I can't tell you how much harm it can do, especially when you are collaborating. So I think this is very much a "careful what you wish for" kind of thing.

:: grins :: and I'm just the opposite. Coming from the game programming mindset, I've found that I can make some of the absolute BEST optimizations by making the preprocessor do all the work. I've been able to have constant time trig functions (or Fibinocci numbers), and all sorts of other amazing things using it. I agree tho, for most of the stuff you do in RB, it isn't really needed.

According to jailer Mike Fostquel, the captured nerds are model prisoners. "They made a crude but listenable crystal radio out of a light bulb, a crayon, and a square of toilet paper, and a rock. They say they'll have Linux on it by next week. They seem to be having a really good time. Tell ya the truth, I'll hate to see 'em go." -- About Jailed Linux Users
