Does Your Debugger Sing to You?
ZahrGnosis writes "TRN Mag Online is carrying an article titled Programming tool makes bugs sing. '[The researchers] set up software that mapped pitch and melodic contour information to structural elements in the programming language Pascal. "[We] aimed to see if information about the structure of Pascal programs could be communicated using such musical phrases".' They even found a practical application for software debugging."
but i thought i'd try anyway. props to Kate Piersen.
Have a good weekend, and be sure to get your fill of goatse this Friday!
Debugging as in sending a cleaning pipe up my ass then yes!
And what does lunix play, chopsticks? oh right, i forgot, here's the lunix song:
My name is ricardo I am a retard-o i live on the 45th floor,
I climb up the steeple and spit on the people and they say 'hello' and I say 'hello' and they say 'what is your name?' and I say...
My name is ricardo I am a retard-o i live on the 45th floor,
I climb up the steeple and spit on the people and they say 'hello' and I say 'hello' and they say 'what is your name?' and I say...

( I think you get the point )
You realize the "people" he was calling an idiot was himself right? Ok, just checking.
Why not fork?
It's going to take a lot to find something dumber and a bigger waste of time than this today.
See Dirk Gently, I forget which one, in which one of the main characters creates software that will make spreadsheets sing. Anthem, I believe they call it in the book.
Now, expand the musical theme and take it too other forms: say, on output a picture of your boss is created and the more bugs in the code the more the output looks like something created by Dali on crack. Ok, no, that's a bad example cause i'm sure that would encourage bugs, heh, but you get the idea.
I want your balls to die.
stop posting on slashdot while you're at it. you're not funny.
Try it out. If you sing it like Freddie did you can record your own voice and play it backwards and get the same result.
Lasers Controlled Games!
So what about COBOL? Wesly Willis?
No way, its physically impossible to get a sofa stuck in a stairwell.
You're a nigger, aren't you? You're just upset that the white man took your shitty reggae and made it sound 500x better.
