No, and no, not really... Generally if I have two objects that need to be communicating with eachother, I make that more explicit ... or use the equivalent of a dispatch (i.e. windows message, or emulated windows message) Comment...

Question: Is it safe to mix new/delete with malloc/free?

Reply on July 1 2010, 8:10pm:

It's safe to use both, as long as you don't delete something malloc()'d, or free something new'd.. but yes, you can have different bits of code using each. Comment...

Question: Think shoutcasting could be done via distributed protocol (such as torrent)?
Asked by Will (70.173.150.x) on June 29 2010, 8:51am
Reply on July 1 2010, 9:25am:

Probably, though I think you'd still need a decent amount of bandwidth to seed, as you'd need to guarantee throughput. Christophe actually did some experimentation with this for video streaming at one point. Comment...

Question: Is AOL asking VLC to strip out ShoutCast support an expected move?
Asked by Wayne (66.72.215.x) on June 22 2010, 6:05am
Reply on June 22 2010, 3:52pm:

To be clear, I believe this is just for the directory, and not shoutcast streaming in general. I don't think they directly asked, they just imposed conditions that could not be met. At any rate, the people making those decisions are probably thinking a bit too much about the short term bottom line.. Comment...

Question: Do you sort of wish WASTE wasn't disputed and you could start a WASTE network instead of a BBS?
