These classes determine how and when storage is allocated, used and freed. If a program uses a lot of static storage performance may suffer.

You can't even yodel these days without getting a lawyer involved. You know the guy who yodels "YaHOOOOooo" at the end of Yahoo's TV commercials (like the one where the shivering Siberian surfs for a spa)? Wylie Gustafson recorded that "Raising Arizona"-style holler six years ago for $590. Well, he was suing instead of yahooing. He said the Yahoo yodel was supposed to be a one-time deal, and he wanted $5 million for the use of his voice. Now comes word that the suit has been settled, though it's unclear how much Gustafson will get. Hopefully the people who harmonized at the end of the Expedia.com commercial are getting their share -- because that's one fine piece of vocalizing. >> CLICK: CNET http://news.com.com/2100-1023-888893.html >> RECENT MISSING LINK stories you may enjoy: http://search400.techtarget.com/bestWebLinks/0,289521,sid3_tax292189,00.html ======================================================== FREE WINDOWS DECISIONS CONFERENCE - QUALIFY TODAY ======================================================== WHO SHOULD ATTEND: IT professionals who want to gain focused expertise on Active Directory, security, licensing, manageability, interoperability and more.
