As Clive's said, they've a dial for that room's speaker and someone seems to often ask for it to be turned off. Some other bits from last night... I mis-attributed the quote, Rob Pike passed it on.

Producing high-quality sheet music; GNU Lilypond. http://lilypond.org/examples.html The statistics program, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spss, mentioned by Peter has a GNU version, http://www.gnu.org/software/pspp/ The pre- and post-increment and -decrement operators in C++ are different to C; for a more complex type there may be needless overhead in making a copy if post- are used. http://www.codeguru.com/forum/showthread.php?t=231052 For C, the convention is post- if it doesn't matter. ;-) Clive, WRT finding out the name of the workgroups on your LAN from a Linux machine with Samba, try running "smbtree" at the command line and just pressing Enter when asked for a password.
