We exactly know what tradition requires. It's not pretty, but it must be done. Your point?
I need a perfect, to the point answer as I am not aware of this.
Please don't reply explaining what method overloading is

No point necessary, right? 
And, none should be expected.

That's when you've reached complete developer enlightenment. You now have a creative license to go crazy. Free tinfoil hats in the corner...

Ok, I will tell you what I use it for.
I'm building a model[^] and before I can paint that thing, I first need to add all kinds of details like panels or rivets. The tape is great. You can sand it, easily and precisely cut it or engrave lines or other details into it.

It will even protect you from your wife. Wrap her up as a tinfoil mummy.

Agreed. It doesn't take long either.

Yeah, it's a Kanye West song - he sang it at Glastonbury in 2015.

It seems Kanye West wrote all the good songs. Ever. Even those were playing before 1977... Especially those were playing before 1977...

You know, I'd noticed that same thing myself!

After reading this thread[^] on PDF readers, I started thinking about a potential replacement for my current editor.
I've been using Foxit's PhantomPDF[^] for a couple of years, and have been happy with it. Prior to that I used Nitro's product for quite a few years, but had enough problems that I replaced it. My biggest need is to produce PDFs from other formats (like MS Word) although I do a fair amount of assembling other documents into a combined product.
What reasonably priced products are available? [Adobe prices itself out of my market.]
|
|
|
|
|
CutePDF[^] or some other PDF printer. Doesn't have PDF editing capability, but it allows you to save anything as PDF document via the print process.
|
|
|
|
|
At first glance, CutePDF has several editing tools and the price ($50 to $90 USD) isn't bad. I will investigate this further.
Thanks!

Free is great! I can't see paying for a reader, too many good ones available.
For editing? I'm ok with paying a reasonable amount.

So she added some new features, fixed it at the system level as needed, and changed the tests...
Those features passed the tests but broke down plugins were installed on live systems...
So a bug report filled and she expressed her will to fix it immediately (but set the severity of the bug from Critical to Low) - it took 5 days and need to be applied manually, as it will be part of the next release at the end of the month...
Her mistake was to change the tests and not to add to them a new rule, so I expressed my opinion, that let the same person write the code and the tests is not a good idea as it can be the source of the infamous 'it works on my machine' bug. I also expressed my opinion, that the person who has assigned (by boss or by chance) to a bug report, should not be the one who set the severity level, especially if it is the very same person who ruined the code in the first place...
So I got a lot of buzz and she got the glory (not clear of what)...
I feel a bit like a bad dream...
