Personally, I find the reasoning of the votes to be lacking quality even more 
GOTOs are a bit like wire coat hangers: they tend to breed in the darkness, such that where there once were few, eventually there are many, and the program's architecture collapses beneath them. (Fran Poretto)

Does anybody here ever had to fight like me to extract images from PDF documents that are encoded with DeviceN or Separation scheme ?
I mainly program in C# and VB.NET, but also know C and C++.
Any help ?
I'm quite sure that N != NP.

Don't ask programming questions here: there is a message at the top of the page explaining that.

I wish. Helped my gf graph her survey results for her thesis paper. Excel sucks. Ended up writing a simple graph app in C#. Finished (Excel again) merging mailing lists for a pro bono client. Got a framework put together for REST unit tests on a website I'm developing. Now going to work on a paying client project (Beaglebone, C#, Python, etc)

It's 10:20 PM here.
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?
The metaphorical solid rear-end expulsions have impacted the metaphorical motorized bladed rotating air movement mechanism.
Do questions with multiple question marks annoy you???

That is a really nice perq they have awarded you. Are there pigeons, or squirrels, in the park; are you allowed to feed them while sitting on the bench ?

I often wonder who makes the UI decisions. My car has a media player that has a touch screen with nice big buttons. When playing music there are three buttons displayed: a large central button that toggles between Play and Pause - so far so good. On the left side of that is another large, but not as large, button that goes to the previous track, on the right another button to go to the next track. All very good and they work fine. Having bought the car second hand it had all the manuals except the media player one so for a long time I was annoyed that I couldn't fast-forward or rewind a given track, especially when I was listening to a long lecture or something.
My son, who has a similar system in his car, said, "Just hold the next-track button for a second or so and it will fast-forward, the rewind works the same way." Obvious! Not!
There is a large unused space beyond each button with plenty of room for more large buttons. Why not have FF and Rewind each side of Play/Pause (as most devices do) and then put next-track and previous-track outside those in the otherwise wasted space? On top of that, all the buttons could be made bigger as there is lots of wasted space in the display around them so when my wife is trying to push them while the road is bumpy...?
Clearly the designer knew how the buttons worked and assumed everyone would have access to the manual so why have more buttons than necessary? Also, it was a German made car so, since German roads are so wonderfully smooth and well maintained compared to the rest of the world the buttons didn't need to be so big as you could easily hit them during the wonderfully smooth ride down the Autobahn! Gaaaah!

Try using Android's Remote for VLC[^] on a tablet.
If you don't hit the progress bar by mistake (when reaching to hit Play/Ppause/etc), or the "Set as Home" area (it's not a button) when you mean to hit the "Home" area, there's something wrong with your fingers.
And three quarters of the screen is whitespace that's coloured black.

Got a reply to a QA answer I posted yesterday.
Two of us suggested that the OP needed to learn to use the debugger to work out what was wrong with his homework (less than 50 lines of C++)
And today I get:
hey just say why "you have not entered any string palindrome" output comes even when i enter a string palindrome.. i did the "homework" and now u should correct it as experts
Is it just me that thinks development is going to hell in a handbasket when the next generation enter the market?
OK, it'll be good for us - in a cynical way - as there'll be plenty of work sorting out the Elephant-ups these lazy sunshines create, but... 
Or maybe I'm just old fashioned, and as long as the code compiles it is correct.

Think about a situation where one needs medical care and is connected to different kinds of monitors and other hospital equipment... controlled by a fresh, new, just released embedded C program...

What's the problem? It compiled, so it doesn't have any bugs...

And while you are connected, reading Q/A on CP: "Need Urgent help...."
Then better do not answer: "Have you tried googled"

..it is not just the equipment; I'm trying to figure out whether there's something like a "issue tracking" for medication. Can't find any version-information on the package. Imagine those drugs being created using the Agile process.
Scary stuff.

Luckily they have the phases 0-4 in clinical trials and in phase 4 all medication should have fully traceable lot numbers.
But I agree Agile development combined with medical care (in any form) sounds scary
