Why do programmers still use mailing lists? @maaartinus: a Google Groups group is pretty much a mailing list with a web interface. You might argue that this gives you most of the benefits of both systems, and you would be right. |

Which should I be learning, HTML or XHTML? Insert missing apostrophes. I'm... almost positive that last "XHTML" was supposed to be "HTML", but... meh. |

Are `break` and `continue` bad programming practices? @bit-twiddler: amen to that. I'll also add that once you're down to blocks that fit easily on-screen, multiple exit points become far less troublesome. |

How did we get saddled with the (hierarchical) filesystem as the basic data structure? Modern versions of NTFS/Windows do offer versioning. It's not exactly in-your-face, but it does exist. Can't say how it compares to VMS though. |

Are `break` and `continue` bad programming practices? @bit-twiddler: I didn't say they were the same thing. Merely that Pascal provided an alternate means of dividing up code with in a function. Pre-declaring all your variables and sticking to a single exit point isn't a big deal if you're splitting out non-trivial blocks into their own routines (whether nested or simply separate)... but if you aren't doing that, you end up with a mess of nested blocks and far-removed variables. |

Are `break` and `continue` bad programming practices? Pascal also had nested functions. Just sayin'... |
