That only works if you have the same number of people pulling the west side of the building at exactly the same moment. Otherwise you compress/stretch the building so that any servers lined up in an E/W orientation will have a variable time differential. Indeed, they might even 'bounce' back and forth across second boundaries causing great confusion.
However, realy astute designers would have thought of this and put all the servers on an N/S line.
Can someone please develop a system that spots such code and nukes it? (as a bonus the 'programmer' too).
I've had to unpick quite a bit of it over the years. It always seems to be a mess, contains functions/data that are never accessed, and fails to properly validate I/O.
Oh, and it usually has questionable provenance/legality.
What on earth is wrong with having stories in a simple list style (variable width of course). This is the most user friendly way to make information clearly, and efficiently accessible.
As has been said repeatedly. We're not kids, nor shiny-chasers with a goldfish attention span.
Why are so many technically orientated sites going on this bling downward spiral? I'm even seeing it from mainstream electronic parts suppliers.
