  5. Re:The more..... on What Are the Unwritten Rules of Deleting Code? · · Score: 0

    I'm not a programmer, but this makes sense to me. Leave it for a release or two then delete it if it proves no problems removing it. It allows thoses who are looking for problems in the code to know what has been changed. I thought compilers removed commented code, so it shouldnt matter if the commented code is there for a while because the compiled exe would not be affected size wise.

    Once we had dumb terminals on our desks, and we connected to a mainframe in a floor of a building.

    I too have travelled Vietnam. It is a wonderful place, either traditional areas or the resort'ed areas. I agree that they are the happiest people Ive met, although that is always after they ask the same first question. "Are you American?" (No, Australian) "Good" - Then it is smiles and help all round.

  18. Sorry, RTA: The scientist tell us they ran out of water, therefore could not produce a slurry using clay. The writing instruments produced with this technique (today we call them crayons) were at an all time shortage, stopping the production of a 'calendar' The dissolution caused widespread panic, they did build some of the best music festival venues ever - just look at the Ballcourt in Tikal (could you imagine the speaker stacks (Drum stands) in that place!) When will the 2013 music festival, they asked. At some point, depression set in because they may never see 7/7/2077 (Mayan numerals people, please keep up = laying down, laying down, standing up, looking lower, twins laying down) which was meant to be the the be all of all music festivals. That was it, Mayans over - the current model of Maykia phone they had created could not keep up since the they used exactly 365 days for calender. People missed birthdays, dates (with girls) and funerals. Society crumbled.

(http://cdn-www.i-am-bored.com/media/ipadstandfail.jpg) I dont care about karma, its my choice to say and theirs to ignore. The iPad is still a stupid product that fits right into the market of "generally useless and totally unnecessary", especially the 3G version. *imagines someone holding iPad to their ear, talking to their mum - "yes mum, I'll vacuum my room (basement) tonight, gotta go my HD Hot Gurlz app has just finished downloading...."
