C++, surprising

Today had found, that readsome function doesn't worked in Visual Studio 2005, that had used by one of my colleges. But calls of read and gcount works fine. I had never seen such cases before, and we had found this bug only after run code under debug. On my Linux installation, all had worked out of box

Strange things by Yahoo

Had found strange things at Yahoo Research - they publish list of articles, and they was available directly, without any problems. But some time ago they had changed way, that you should use to obtain articles. To obtain article you need to click on link, that run javascript (that works only in Internet Explorer) and form e-mail with request for document. This is could be ok, but i never got answers on my requests, although i had tried several times.
Why they publish articles, if users could not obtain them? This seem too strange for me - many other companies provide access to their research papers freely or with some registration, but user could obtain them. And only Yahoo research select their own strange way...
