When warnings attack

[Bill Baxter]

Just saw this on John Ratcliff's Code Suppository 
http://codesuppository.blogspot.com/

"""
When Microsoft released Visual Studio 2005 and had the unmitigated gall 
to issue a warning message for 'printf' I about blew a gasket. Now my 
code is littered with '#pragma warning(disable:4996)' to prevent VS2005 
from throwing warnings everywhere for 100% perfectly ANSII C compliant 
code!!!!!!!!!!
"""

I haven't done much with VS2005 yet, because I found it to be rather 
more slow and bloated than VS2003, and they yet again changed all the 
key bindings around for no apparently good reason.  And yeh, the "you 
must use our new and improved secure standard library" warning messages 
are annoying too.   I think that's what John is referring to there.
