Hmmm.. that IS more than two monitors.. ;)

Honestly, for programming, two monitors is too few. For me: One monitor right, code One monitor left, google, code project, et al... One monitor middle, program run I feel I need one more monitor, maybe two..

Amateur

Shouldn't that one be under "coding horrors"?

Nothing exists, everything is opinions ( and no, the opinions don't exist either )

Indeed, but "OpImp" is too long... Maybe that's the reason why "bug" sticks? Short and easy to say :-D

Good suggestion, let's forever after call them "imps". "Why did the program crash?" "It is an Imp."

Eh.... "Off the top of my head, if you can't copy to any external media (cd, floppy, usb stick) that only leaves over the network. Any company worth its salt will have that covered as well." Have you ever heard about an ancient method called "pen and paper"?? You don't NEED a printer or floppy to copy source code. Sure, lot of writing, but it is POSSIBLE. As an answer to the original question, I would notify my boss and then forget about it.

The first I see is that ( ( s / 3 ) - w ) * 3; is the same as s - w * 3; although the suggestion to move this outside the loop will save you more...

Trying to discuss "life" ( as in autonomous entities ) anywhere except on earth can't at this point of humanity's knowledge become scientific. With that said there are a couple of possibilities: 1) Life is abundant and exist everywhere you look for it. a) It's mostly carbonbased as on Earth. b) It's mostly based on something else. 2) Life is scarce and can probably not be found. a) There do however exist life somewhere else. b) Life has only ever developed on one planet. Combining these possibilities I have come up with an idea of my own ( as it seems, anyway ): Life has only developed once on one place in the whole universe in all it's lifetime. It happened early after BigBang (assuming that is true, of course) and from there it has spread all over universe, we are all decendants from that life. Everywhere life is about the same as on earth, and when we finally arrive at another planet we find humans more or less identical to us, we can even interbreed. (That's just SciFi ofc :cool: ) Nothing exists, everything is opinion...

If you are wishing upon a star... An armband.. just like a watch... A 3D image suspended in air which you just point at.. if you need a keyboard the image is a keyboard, if you need a mouse, the image is a mouse. Speech recognition of course... and the prize? 10$, hmm? Nothing exist, everything is opinions...

I miss the one about the not so lousy programmer who actually DO comment... sortof..

int i = 1; // sets i to 1

Nothing exists, everything is opinions..

Basicly, I haven't filled in my profile either, so there is not much info on me personally. But it's true that all your contacts and their E-mail adresses etc. are there. I guess Microsoft got an offer from some spamcompany that they couldn't resist so now they want to help them get easy lists.... :cool: "nothing exists, everything are opinions"

Basicly, as said, you write it all on paper. In those Good Old Days someone mentioned I wrote the adress, the opcode, the hexcode:

0000 MOV A,C2 3E C2
0002 ADI B1 C6 B1
0004 JNZ 0010 C2 10 00
0007 STA 8000 32 00 80
000A .........

and so on. As soon as you discover an error and have to insert or remove an instruction, every jumpadress has to be recalculated. Of course, it was a great relieve when I could start to use assembler with symbolic adresses. Otherwise, you create bulletproof subroutines and place them in the beginning so you are certain that THEY at least need no rewriting. The basic programming elements are, as always, Sequence, Choice and Loop. Just learn those three and you can program in any language. That is, if you know how to program, you first make the program in your head, THEN look what languages are available, and choose the one best fit for your task. ( For some strange reason I have never found VB to be the best fit :omg: ) "Nothing exist, everything is opinions"
