If you don't mean what you say, don't say it. If you say what you don't mean and you get slammed for it, take it like you deserve it or go win yourself a Darwin award.

Soliciting means you're just trying to sell something. Don't you notice "no soliciting" signs near apartment complexes? That means "no vaccuum-cleaner salesmen" as well as "no prostitutes".:P

Don't troll. The poster said *IF* it is due to crappy code. I am personally against all non-hardware bug workarounds, because it just encourages those bugs to stay. Honestly, unless you are in an emergency situation and not using the software isn't an option, why should the compiler even *allow* language violations? Why even bother with a language? Say "this code comes from my intense psychic powers and if your system can't use cosmic rays to figure out what even I didn't intend, it's your fault"!?
Except that sound cards/devices (and maybe the outputs of the CD itself) deliberately induce subtle interference and/or distortion to defeat this. One pass through and a human might not even be able to notice it, but in some situations it can ruin the audio, especially if you depend on a faithful transmission (like if you're a recording studio or if you're remixing something).
