This library, on the other hand, is several orders of magnitude more useful (and I'm dead serious about it): http://code.google.com/p/ie7-js/
I have tried this library recently (IE9.js specifically). It worked as advertised in many situations. However I also ran into a case where it broke a layout in IE6 that was previously working ok. It's a great library, but not a drop-in solution for all the IE5/6 problems it claims to fix. Like many IE hacks, sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.
David Axmark Resigns From Sun 229
An anonymous reader writes "From Kay Arno's blog we see that David Axmark, MySQL's Co-Founder, has resigned. This comes on top of the maybe, maybe not, resignation of Monty. We saw earlier this year that Brian Aker, the Director of Architecture, has forked the server to create a web-focused database from MySQL called Drizzle. The MySQL server has been 'RC' now for a year with hundreds of bugs still listed as being active in the 5.1 version.
What is going on with MySQL?"

Personally, I like the 'new' keyword. It makes it very clear where an object is being instantiated, and not just assigned through a function (that's what var = Type(args) looks like to me).
Also, C# allows the core types to be allocated on the stack. Here is a line I pulled from my code:
byte* buffer = stackalloc byte[256];
stackalloc can only be used inside an unsafe context.
