  1. Re:Strange on 30 Years of Personal Computer Market Share · · Score: 1

  4. Re:Strength of Character Acting on Aeon Flux, Talk Amongst Yourselves · · Score: 1

    Look at the wooden acting from Natalie Portman (and others) in the new Star Wars movies. Those born in the republic are so cultured they're like Victorians who are too embarrased to properly display emotion

    Maybe I'm giving Lucas too much credit, but perhaps that's what he was going for? I almost got that impression, that the Republic was so "civilized" that they didn't really know how to react to what was going on.

  25. Self-Documenting on How to Write Comments · · Score: 1
    Everybody knows that good code is self documenting- which is why my prof in college demanded we write in Ada.

    You don't know how right you are. I once got some some Ada code from a third party. Each procedure had a block comment describing the its function. The block comment? Literally the procedure code, commented. When we asked, we were told the code was self documenting.

    i.e. it looked like this:
    -- procedure FOO is
    -- begin
    -- TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE('Hello World');
    -- end FOO;
    procedure FOO is
    begin
      TEXT_IO.PUT_LINE('Hello World');
    end FOO;
