Wow, what a beast. My deepest condolences.
A dogged, arrogant belief in self and the childlike idealism that comes with not knowing my limits. This is my greatest blessing, my priceless attribute.

"Swiss made" implies elgance in design, using the least amount of parts in a well-thought out fashion.
This is more German made, where the engineering uses the most amount of parts possible to do the simplest of jobs.
The breech of a certain German artillery piece (can't remember which) was made with 192 parts. The equivilent artillery piece on the U.S. side used 48. The Swiss probably could have done it in 20.

What's your problem with Germans?
There are idiots as well as geniuses and everything in between everywhere in the world...
Maybe you should not care that much about weapons...

is your problem?? All I did was bring up something I saw in a documentery about artillery and it's reliablilty and maintainability, and you think I'm picking on the Germans? Dude, back then, during the war, they tended to over-engineer their weapons. That's all I'm saying...

I agree with you
And what's about an italian like me? Would you like me to speak about spaghetti code?
Luckly italian people does not always write spaghetti as they eat!! :P

that's just too funny. I guess he's a bit cranky. I happen to be a bit of an armor historian buff, and the big, bad German tanks of ww2 were mostly junk. Credit to the 88 and the high velocity 75, but reliability is everything. The Tiger 2 and Panther broke down at horrendous rates. The panther's armor was spotty at best with mediocre quality of the armor plate, etc.

Reliability was key. So, I appreciate the comment on the complexity of the arty pieces. I just wish some of the defense contractors in the US would learn.

Yeah, so it's long and wide, some methods have to be; what have you replaced it with?

So what?
As far as I've seen it, all the magic numbers are commented (not totally sure, somewhere in the middle my eyes began to bleed)...

Well, that code brings me back to the 90's. Typical "journeyman programmer" production. The journeyman programmer doesn't care about software engineering or improving the skills in their trade, just hack away until it works... eventually they work up their way to be project manager and leave the crap to someone else to maintain . Don't let it get to you too much the first 20 years are the worse

Very well put I wouldn't even use the word 'programmer' in the same sense as VB, more like 'user'.
VB - curse of many bad project implementations.
|
|
|
|

In fairness, a lot of bad implementations are done in other languages, I dare say there are as many shocking apps developed in C# as there are VB.Net.

I third that. I have seen far too much bad code in many languages.

Just because the code works, it doesn't mean that it is good code.

14 more to go, i hope i'll make it...
It feels good to learn and achieve

That depends. Did the person who maintained the code have his home address?
