    Who needs a comment when you have "Frist"?

    Ugh, a dirty Frist post. Let me get my paper and tape to cover it up.

    Print out the Frist, tape it to a wooden table, and then tape a blank piece of paper over it. That'll show him.

    What does "78318 square pounds" mean? And why do they expect the customers to do the mathsarithmetics themselves?

    (In the greatest magnification available to me I couldn't see a point in the hand-written numbers. Neither a point.)

    Mongo-DB: self demonstrating web page done right!

    It should be faster to C&P 1/10 GB of PIN information. Unless that stuff is rendered in its full beauty in the background, maybe.

    Excel assumes that a "-" at the beginning is a minus sign, so it should suggest to put a number after the last "-". Wtf Excel, don't just assume the user would want to abuse you for graphical stuff like horizontal lines instead!

  • (disco) in reply to Quite

    I had this one in mind too.

    But I wonder if in this case the user actually had access to the application to change their prices on the fly. I can imagine this being a better-than-nothing solution after having explained two score customers that the prices is more (or less) expensive.

    Square pound apply to objects with square cross sections...as opposed to round pounds.

    We can't all be fancy-pants interfacing devices. Some of us still have to use token-ring hubs to get on an ISDN network, you know!

  • (disco)

    I'd bet dimes to dollars that the person tasked with correcting the menu wasn't given access to the software interface.

    Anybody who's worked low end retail knows how this works. You have to change the menu because it's wrong. However, only the owner actually has access to the software to change the menu. The owner, being the owner, is never actually in the store, and even when she is the last thing she has time to do is fix the menu. Not that she would ever give up sole responsibility for the menu because of that, of course. The menu is too important to leave in the hands of anyone else. Why, they might make a mistake!

    A square pound is more efficient for arranging the confiscated vehicles neatly. You can line them up neatly against the fence, for example, and arrange for there to be a neat straight aisle between the rows. Rectangular pounds are just as good. But hexagonal pounds, round pounds, or pounds of various other more or less irregular and non-right-angle-cornered shapes are more of a challenge to organise.

</div></BLOCKQUOTE>

Well, as this appears to be a C language, I'm going to point out a few issues that C# would complain about:

- Members of an interface should not have access declarations, though there are restrictions on the access level of their implementations.
- You can't include private members (such as the private setters you included) in an interface.

Here, use this instead:


    public interface ITape
{
    int RollLengthCm { get; }
    int WidthCm { get; }
    int Strength { get; }
    bool DoubleSided { get; }

    ITapePiece TearTape(int lengthInCm);
}
  • (disco) in reply to abarker

    I was too lazy to open Visual Studio to see if it was valid C# code. :stuck_out_tongue:

    As for private setters in an interface, I could have sworn my test Prism project is using it without the C# / .NET 4.5 compiler complaining about it.

  • (disco) in reply to powerlord

    Maybe it's automagically converting all the Private declarations to Public?

    Store the value in metres, convert to whatever makes sense for display.

  • (disco) in reply to another_sam

    Perhaps I don't want to store it as a decimal?

  • (disco) in reply to powerlord

    You would prefer to introduce unit conversion confusion?

    Why not store it as mulitples of the length of a grain of barley?

  • (disco) in reply to another_sam

    How often do you deal with tape that has a width in metres?

    I could have just said "fuck it" and went with imperial units.

    another_sam:

    There's unit conversion involved anyway. It's not like it's converting from inches or something. Metric to metric is simple. That's the biggest selling point of metric.

    But, yeah, storing data that's pretty much always single digit centimeters, both input and output, as meters is so much simpler.

    Next time I see a Windows memory dump bluescreen on a subway map display, I will take a photo and upload here.

  • (disco) in reply to another_sam

    About the only time I use centimetres is people's heights; other than that I go from metres right down to millimetres. So a generic timber wall stud would be described as a "hundred by fifty", not "ten by five".

  • (disco) in reply to Fox

    What's even simpler is Imperial measures of volume. 2 gills = 1 cup 2 cups = 1 pint 2 pints = 1 quart 2 quarts = 1 beatment 2 beatments = 1 gallon 2 gallons = 1 peck 2 pecks = 1 kenning 2 kennings = 1 bushel 2 bushels = 2 boll 4 bolls = 1 quarter

    Can't beat binary.

  • (disco) in reply to Quite

    4 bolls = 1 quarter

    So each boll is 6.25¢?

    "No interfaces are there for that device" is not a WTF. It just means "No interfaces exist in that place for that device.

    Someone may have been trying to change the location of the folder where interfaces are stored. And, in that folder, none are there.
