Copy Constructors you are the thorn in my side. I spent nearly half an hour tracking done something that should have been apparent right way: If you have an object, which contains pointers to dynamic memory, adding to a vector (or any STL container) does a shallow copy! I needed a deep copy. I had some temp objects I was creating only to add them to an array, and then destory them. When they were destroyed, they would free the memory the object in the vector still referenced. Segmentation Fault ... sigh... at least its all billable hours. |

] Why is the Secretary of State collecting Social Security
] numbers?
]
] Beginning May 3, 2004, Michigan will join 49 other states
] in requiring Social Security numbers from all those who
] apply for, or are renewing a driver's license. This
] is the result of a federal court ruling requiring
] Michigan to comply with the federal Welfare Reform Act
] and collect Social Security numbers so the state's
] Family Independence Agency can use them as a tool in
] child support enforcement. ... As I have visited most of the states DMV websites today, I can tell you States vary *greatly* in terms of tech-savy. I know certain Federal agencies will have my SSN (And state income tax folks), but requiring the DMV, especially with how shitty these sites (haven't seen IIS 4 running in a while, but I did today), this is a Bad Idea. ...
