Aaaargh! So most C compilers let you name the output. On most Un*x systems, this is done with '-o filename'. Despite having other flags to tell what sort of output to create, Microsoft Visual C++ has different arguments for different filenames. Why? So I offer a nerdly plea: If any of the @DIETIES with accounts on reality with uid==0 would run the following script, I'd renounce atheism:

kill -9 `ps -aux | perl -e 'while (<>) {/microsoft/i && split && print "$_[1]\n"}'

We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
