"The device is indeed perfectly valid, legal C, and many compilers will optimize the switch into a jump table just as would be done in an assembler implementation."
This is another example of trying to make and optimizer out of a compiler. "many compilers" does not mean "all compilers" which in turn is going to bite you in the ass at some point.
Not only does it give HBO some control back, but it also seeds innovation by giving the world another problem to work around. It's a lot better than sitting on your ass calling your lawyers to sue children *coughRIAA*cough with the sole purpose being because you want to be able to wipe your ass with 100s' instead of 20s'.
This must be great fun for them

set realistic boundaries with people, and stick to them. don't involve yourself with unhealthy social behaviour. set aside time to yourself everyday. appreciate what you have, not what you have not.

If there's a nuclear attack, none of us will need to be concerned about websites, usb keys, or identification. Dead people have no use for such things.
Specs are good for propping up initial work, but they go all-to-hell quickly when projects near milestones or late completion dates. Also the mcdonalds-mentality of "hurry up with my order, I want it yesterday" that the customer always wants does not afford a lot of time to follow a regimented procedure to the tee. I've watched people (myself included) spend an assload of time writing code to follow an exact process only to constantly be late, or go crazy trying to make dates.
Programming is a creative form, no question about it. When you try and corral people's creativity into a one-size-fits-all nutshell of procedures, you are strangling possibly the largest asset they could offer you.
I encourage people to make their code readable and use comments that serve a purpose. That's about it.

It all makes sense now. That's what Trinity was using on Neo in the backseat of the car.

It's good to see more diversity in the browser arena. Innovation and creativity flourishes under diversity. Go-go-gadget netscape!
Anyone know where to send pizza/beer/ching to the band?
