Girls Bugged Teachers' Staff Room 227

Posted by samzenpus on Tuesday August 24, 2010 @12:48PM from the making-the-grade dept.

A pair of enterprising Swedish schoolgirls ended up in court after they were caught bugging their teachers break room. The duo hoped they would hear discussions about upcoming tests and school work, allowing them to get better grades. It worked until one of them decided to brag about it on Facebook, and the authorities were called in. The girls were charged with trespassing and fined 2,000 kronor ($270) each in Stockholm District Court.

Well, at least now all of us Cleveland sports fans can get insurance to pay for our psychiatry sessions. I wonder if there is a 'Wait Till Next Year" syndrome also?

C++ generics predate Ada95's strong generics mechanism by quite some time. In fact, the inventor of generics--Stepanov--used C++ as his testbed for ideas. C++ generics go back to the early 1980s.

Not true, from page 4 of The C++ Programming language, Second Edition, by Bjarne Stroustrup.

"The template facility was partly designed to formalize macro usage, partly inspired by the Ada generics (both their strengths and their weaknesses), and partly inspired by Clu's parameterized modules. Similarly, the C++ exception handling mechanism was partly inspired by Ada, by Clu[11], and partly by ML[26]."
