“Unexpected Error 0×8ffe2740 Occurred” - this message appeared today on my PC when I was trying to start IIS. A while of “googling” revealed that this is rather normal behavior of the server
According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/816944 this error occurs when some other application uses port 80 (default for a web server).
Instead of expressive error message they create KB article with explanations

Few days ago I found very interesting piece of code in polish usenet. The code is correct and it works fine but it looks like... yes, like vomit. C++ programmers, can I have a request? Please, do not move features from other languages that we can live without, to the C++.
C++:
void increment
(int &i
)
{
++i;
}
static void test1()
{
boost::function<void (int &)> add1=::increment;
std::vector<std::vector<int>> vec(10, std::vector<int>(10, 2010));
std::for_each(vec.begin(), vec.end(), boost::lambda::bind(boost::lambda::ll::for_each(),
boost::lambda::bind(boost::mem_fn((std::vector<int>::iterator(std::vector<int>::*)())
&std::vector<int>::begin), boost::lambda::_1),
boost::lambda::bind(boost::mem_fn((std::vector<int>::iterator(std::vector<int>::*)())
&std::vector<int>::end), boost::lambda::_1),
add1));
std::for_each(vec.begin(), vec.end(), boost::lambda::bind(boost::lambda::ll::copy(),
boost::lambda::bind(boost::mem_fn((std::vector<int>::iterator(std::vector<int>::*)())
&std::vector<int>::begin), boost::lambda::_1),
boost::lambda::bind(boost::mem_fn((std::vector<int>::iterator(std::vector<int>::*)())
&std::vector<int>::end), boost::lambda::_1),
std::ostream_iterator<int>(std::cout, " ")));
std::cin.get();
}
