I recently modified the make file (linker only) to pull in the .so files needed for talking to a Postgres server in C++ on a BeagleBone Black, and while the code works, I lost the ability to debug. Debug now crashes. Can't say that the fault lies specifically with Eclipse, but it's annoying as hell.
Every day I work on this stuff I miss C# and .NET more and more. Working with libpq is like going back to the stone ages. Couldn't get libpqxx to compile -- some error about a missing destructor when the damn thing is right there in the header file. Error messages that make produces have error numbers that are meaningless, etc. I honestly find it hard to imagine that I actually worked once in C++ and with having to explicitly call out linkages, dependencies, and so forth in the code and make files. My god, it's archaic. I'd even rather program in Ruby! And then of course, the Eclipse IDE is so pathetic. I have half a mind of slapping together a mini-IDE that at least has some minimal behaviors that I want, using #D's editor as a basis.

The Chauffeur we mentioned earlier is on his way to collect me.
Should be a spacious ride home, only 11 of 19 seats used. get some  in on the way back.
All going well I should be back at home by 4.30 and commence 3 weeks of R&R.......(no not rest and relaxation as it should be, but repairing things and ranting).
Grumpy dad is heading home.......

Have a good trip - and as relaxing a break as you can!
If it's any consolation I spent the large part of the morning in a very dull meeting.

You are totally right. I know well what it is. Tough I prefer to express it like:
If what you have to say is not prettier than silence.... STFU

I find that they start repeating a discussion that was closed an hour ago, just to prolong the irritation. Being old and cantankerous I am in the habit of walking out when that starts.

...or that is irrelevant to the discussion, or doesn't concern more than two members, or fit's their agenda and no-one else's.
It's just an example of the old maxim: The IQ of a committee is the IQ of the lowest member, divided by the number of members.

This still fascinates me...
Scientific terms that describe chirality:
Sinistral - from sinister -> meaning left
Dextral - from dexter -> meaning right
"ambidextrous" is as follows:
Ambi -> meaning Both
Dexter -> meaning right.
Thus if you are ambidextrous you are "Both Right". Slap in da face for The sinisters

I think if you dig into it, dexter is more relate to implication of being capable, which as we all know, is predomoniantly a right-handed situation (as it should be).
Although we tend to dwell on the Latin derivation
Dexterity
From the Latin "dexter," for "right" (in the sense of right-left).
I suggest that the derivation is more akin to the typical meanings as described Here^, and that label thus applied to 'right'. Since left-handedness was considered (rightly) an ill omen, it was logically named such.
You're welcome to disagree, but that would, indeed, have sinister implications.

Oh good, I always wanted to be sinister.
Now if only Logitech would make a left-handed gaming mouse... I've gotten used to using a right-handed one with my left hand, and it's just not the same.

Hmm, might work... I'm currently using a G500[^]
EDIT: Nah, pass... Checked the reviews... Looks like Razer hasn't gotten any better. Shoddy hardware, bloated software.
