The first time you write the code, it's the shortest path from A to B.
The second time you write that code, you gnash your teeth, and still use the shortest path.
The third time, you get down and dirty, refactoring the code until one piece can work for all three situations.
They'll generally also listen on crap speakers to hear what it'll actually sound like for the average listener. It used to be Yamaha NS-10s which are crap in exactly the right way to figure out a lot of mix translation problems.
Bottom line: a well-designed, well-treated room with flat speakers sounds reasonably to very accurate with good translation to most listening situations (from home use to club listening with extended bass response). Phones are great for isolation and accuracy especially when your room / speakers are crap, but their bass response is not as good as big speakers and your stereo image will generally not translate well to speaker systems.
Super-accurate headphones are great. For scientists trying to prove a point or cork-sniffer audiophiles. If you're in popular music production, most of your music will be listened to in mp3 format on rubbish ear-buds at ear-bleeding levels, or on car stereos. You don't need accuracy half as much as you need to know your mixes will actually still sound passable in these situations.
But I'll take good speakers in a good room over sweating ears in great isolation accurate headphones for long-term work, that's for sure.
In my opinion and experience, any use of public inheritance that does not satisfy the LSP is indeed wrong.
That's what protected and private inheritance are for, or even more often just plain aggregation.
Object Oriented programming has become a vague religion rather than a specific tool. People are equating the mechanics of it with actual good practice. I just tutored someone who had their first OO class and it's all about the mechanics without any of the reasoning. And all that leads to me earning my paycheck by fixing the crap code these people end up putting out because they've been taught the wrong things the wrong way.
$3 a month is $36 a year, and that's awfully close to what a boxed game costs. I.e. the perception of the developers that it's "only" $3 a month is wrong.
I think Iran is pumping up oil to increase the amount of CO2 in the atmosphere to melt the icecaps, releasing vast amounts of Dihydrogen Monoxide into the environment to kill scores of people and wreak economic havoc!
It's chemical warfare, plain and simple!
Retaliation with nuclear weapons is more akin to telling the rape victim to wear a huge explosive belt and detonate it when a rapist strikes.
Sure, you kill yourself and a potentially a bunch of bystanders, but at least you got the would-be
rapist!
Remember, an eye for an eye leaves the whole world blind. Or dead, in this case.
Click tracks, bah. Sucking the life out of music. Music is just not organic anymore.
While we're at it, I think the clock in a CPU is just a useless crutch too. A decent processor should be able to handle the subtle emotional variations in timing of a pissed-off windows user!
Q: How do you know there's a drummer at your
door?
A: Because the knocking speeds up.
I think this judge's order indicates that he is keenly aware that the RIAA is a shell entity for the music industry, so there is some hope that a simple RIAA bankruptcy won't be a "get out of jail free" card for the involved members of the music industry.
Get off my lawn!
Plenty of great music has been made in the past 40 years, but you have to *look* for it. Because of the sheer volume of music being produced not that much of it can get the limelight.

I use "cute" as the derogatory term for overly clever code. But clever code should be just that, clever.
The first time you write the code, it's the shortest path from A to B.
The second time you write that code, you gnash your teeth, and still use the shortest path.
The third time, you get down and dirty, refactoring the code until one piece can work for all three situations.
Yeah but it doesn't work much better than the last release.

There's something ghoti-y about that comment.

Is that early adapter a 9v, 12v or 220v? Would running a higher voltage make my PS-3 faster?
But who will outsource the outsourced?
(BTW does anyone else think that out-sourcing sounds like a programmer competition?)
They already tried that once
If you allowed a PDF to occur you weren't being careful either. I've set noscript to block PDF until clicked, all the time.
Oh yeah, certainly. I still have those around! I have the cloth map and pentagram amulet from VIII as well, but unfortunately that game sucked.
Only on /. could that possibly be insightful.
A vote is only worth the money it is printed on.
