Who buys book from Amazon? I go to a store and put my hands on the actual items to get a feel for them -- and then not wait a week for it to arrive.

I would go to a store too but they don't carry books that I need/want.
Why is common sense not common? Never argue with an idiot. They will drag you down to their level where they are an expert. Sometimes it takes a lot of work to be lazy Individuality is fine, as long as we do it together - F. Burns Help humanity, join the CodeProject grid computing team here

"How to improve your marriage without talking about it" Yeah, I can see how that'd be for programmers.
He said, "Boy I'm just old and lonely, But thank you for your concern, Here's wishing you a Happy New Year." I wished him one back in return.
a book about sexting? :-O

It tells you how to install a little door in the back of your wife's head, to insert a couple of EEPROM chips. Very useful during arguments.
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Oh, I wish! I could fit a volume control! A pause button!
You should never use standby on an elephant. It always crashes when you lift the ears. - Mark Wallace C/C++ (I dont see a huge difference between them, and the 'benefits' of C++ are questionable, who needs inheritance when you have copy and paste) - fat_boy

not wait a week for it to arriveThere's that thing called Next day delivery. It works pretty well. You order your book during the lunch break, and next day in the morning et voilà! the book is on your desk! -

"Talking about it" is perhaps akin to commenting the code, real men don't comment their code, so there :-\ -- Rogelio

Awesome! Second random Brit reference in one week. Heard "Bob's your uncle" while my kid was watching Phineas and Ferb the other day. :thumbsup: Some explanation - I say random becuase I ride with a guy who will occasionally drop what we call Simon-isms while we're out for a long ride. Most times we let them go but Bob's your uncle got us wondering. Why do we never hear these things anywhere else? Now I've heard two in one week coming in from far and wide. Sorry for taking the topic even further off course, but had to share. As you were. :suss:

Not a blanket rule. Commenting code has nothing to do with its performance once it compiles and runs; on that note I could say a thing or two about establishing the quality of a relationship once the "we need to talk" rears its head, but I'll let others come Forth with their own theories. Feels like I already talked too much about it :zzz: -- Rogelio

Has plenty to do with its maintainability, though. I'm a Code Complete fan, and put readability on an equal level with performance. I don't even like maintaining my own code when I fail to comment.

I have the first edition. :)
Is it good? useful?)
