To whom will the monthly (l)user be sacrificed? 
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

Sounds like an old Management-IT story I heard, it goes something like this.
Man #1 is walking along the desert.
Man #2 appears overhead in a hot air balloon.
Man #2 calls down to man #1 asking "Where am I?"
Man #1 calls up to man #2 replying "You are in a balloon, about 50 feet above the ground."
Man #2 calls down "You must be in IT, the answer you gave me is correct but of no use to me."
Man #1 calls up "You must be in Management. You ask a vague question, and blame others when the answer is not what you wanted."

How in the name of flying gibbon muck do you balance a k-d tree without extracting every entry into an array first and rebuilding it top down?
This is really getting to be an embuggerrement!

Just got a headache just thinking about it.

By transforming it into a linked-list first instead? And would it be "middle down"?

Did you mean: embuggerance? Can't find the word "embuggerrement" with Google. I found the word "bugger" but I'm sure that is not what you meant.

bugger -- n. Software that is used to add bugs to software. See IDE

For those of us who don't have the faintest clue what Vilmos' gin-perfused mutterings are about: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/K-d_tree[^].
For what it's worth, I can't see a way of balancing a tree in-place. Any tree balancing algorithm I've ever seen traversed a source tree, dismantling it in the process, and created a balanced destination tree.

If your tree is implemented using pointers you may be able to do it by swapping references. That is, if you find a branch that is unbalanced you may mount the branch to another node to make the tree balanced. Same applies to nodes that are unbalanced, just swap them with each other until the tree becomes balanced.

So am I. I had assumed that it was related to events 14 years less 2 days ago.

Ahhh.. I understand the potential source of confusion.
Personally, my wife was a nurse in Upstate New York when it happened; she was mobilized and sent there to assist with trauma. Because of that, we don't talk about it or really think about it... she'd rather than relive those memories.

Code Project is based out of Toronto, so Toronto is their ground zero.

Umm, I thought it was because most of Toronto(ians) believes it is the centre of the known universe
