Oh man, new favorite internet answer.
In reply to someone asking about the effect of gcc -dM, a commenter replied "What the -d flag does is define something.  So passing -dM to the compiler would be the exact same as putting this: #define M"
sjackso: but why is that your favorite?  seems like a pretty straightforward reply ;)
well, it is, and it's well-meaning... it was followed by a whole little lecture on defining symbols on the command line
ah ok
but that's -D; -d is unrelated and considerably more esoteric
oh, so -d *doesn't* do what that guy said
no, it does something completely different
yeah, now that I think about it, it's -D,  you're right
`echo | gcc -dM -E` dumps all the compiler's implicit and predefined macros, which is sort of nerdy fun but not an everyday need.

anyway, excuse the outburst.  The poor commenter was just trying to help.  I've been squinting at gcc documentation all day and am reaching a point of being too easily amused.
no worries :)
seems to be a frustrating week. netflix blocking 6to4 tunnels. teamviewer pwnage is causing some of my friends grief. and my bank's fraud alert blocker went nutso.
JC_Denton: to be fair though services like He.net IPv6 tunnels make it very hard for Netflix to know where the end user is exactly as they all come from the same /32 prefix, GeoIP is still in its infancy when it comes to IPv6
i suppose i could switch back to my native dual stack
the prefix delegation instability seems to have finally (and silently) subsided
