    "Swiss made" implies elgance in design, using the least amount of parts in a well-thought out fashion. This is more German made, where the engineering uses the most amount of parts possible to do the simplest of jobs. The breech of a certain German artillery piece (can't remember which) was made with 192 parts. The equivilent artillery piece on the U.S. side used 48. The Swiss probably could have done it in 20.

      Wow, what a beast. My deepest condolences.

      A dogged, arrogant belief in self and the childlike idealism that comes with not knowing my limits. This is my greatest blessing, my priceless attribute.

        What's your problem with Germans? There are idiots as well as geniuses and everything in between everywhere in the world... Maybe you should not care that much about weapons... :suss: Regards Thomas

                Nothing yet, the problem is the whole application is badly design, so from my point of view it is better to build a new application from scratch.

                  :WTF: is your problem?? All I did was bring up something I saw in a documentery about artillery and it's reliablilty and maintainability, and you think I'm picking on the Germans? Dude, back then, during the war, they tended to over-engineer their weapons. That's all I'm saying...

                    Well, that code brings me back to the 90's. Typical "journeyman programmer" production. The journeyman programmer doesn't care about software engineering or improving the skills in their trade, just hack away until it works... eventually they work up their way to be project manager and leave the crap to someone else to maintain X|. Don't let it get to you too much the first 20 years are the worse :laugh:

                      Very well put :) I wouldn't even use the word 'programmer' in the same sense as VB, more like 'user'. VB - curse of many bad project implementations.

                            Very well put :) I wouldn't even use the word 'programmer' in the same sense as VB, more like 'user'. VB - curse of many bad project implementations.

                            In fairness, a lot of bad implementations are done in other languages, I dare say there are as many shocking apps developed in C# as there are VB.Net.

                              :WTF: is your problem?? All I did was bring up something I saw in a documentery about artillery and it's reliablilty and maintainability, and you think I'm picking on the Germans? Dude, back then, during the war, they tended to over-engineer their weapons. That's all I'm saying...

                                Well, that code brings me back to the 90's. Typical "journeyman programmer" production. The journeyman programmer doesn't care about software engineering or improving the skills in their trade, just hack away until it works... eventually they work up their way to be project manager and leave the crap to someone else to maintain X|. Don't let it get to you too much the first 20 years are the worse :laugh:

                                      Well I have his home address, but I believe he's already dead, at least his brain was when he 'coded' this.

                                          I have seen worse Russian code. Best thing to do with monster code is to use some reflections on it.
