>>I'm just a little tired of all the C++ critics that insist that only naive or inexperienced programmers use it and they'd all be equally productive if they'd just man up and use C for a while. I'm not sure where you run into all those C++ critics that prefer C. Programmers that like to write C seem pretty rare to me. The criticism flows both ways: for example the C++ FAQ ( http://isocpp.org/wiki/faq ) labels every feature that's in C primitive, dangerous, and obsolete. I don't see C++ programmers as naive and inexperienced at all. The biggest problem with C++ is how complex and difficult it is. It might have been considered friendly to newbies at one time, but nowadays I'd be surprised to hear that an inexperienced programmer was using C++. These days it's associated with native code and high performance (C is either lumped in or ignored).

"Focus follows mouse" is what I use to keep the file manager from popping up when click-dragging files.
The biggest problem with this is if the target URL doesn't load but also doesn't quickly error out, like e.g.
Google wants to build up a private web here.
