mate, that's poor

Righty-right, o me brother.

Would you so kindly enlighten me as to the specifics?

It's one thing to say "it sucks." It's quite another to say "it sucks, because...."

At least the latter would help be to become a better programmer.

The former just pisses me off, especially from one who lacks the intestinal fortitude to take the trouble to identify him/herself.

I agree. You can't say it sucks with out an explanation.
As for me, I don't think it sucks. But I also don't think it is obfuscated. Perhaps this is because it is really similar to the program I posted a couple days ago in the obfuscated section and so I see exactly what it is doing. So while I don't think it sucks, I do think it is un-original and less then obfuscated.

NOTE: I've noticed that this is actually filed under Craft, and not Obfuscated code... I would have sworn I saw this under obfuscated.

[cciulla]

It's not supposed to be obfusicated, hence it's inclusion in "Craft."

As to the similarity to a previously posted node, please include the link as I would be interested in seeing it.

Thanks!

Addendum
If My first attempt at obfuscation is it, I did see it (and even voted++).

I agree that it is somewhat similar. Perhaps your code imbeded itself in my subconscious.

From the safety of anonymity, it is easy to cast aspersions. This code does not "suck," as you so elegantly put it.
Perhaps this metaphor will elucidate my position as stated in the last sentence. When flying an airplane, there are two kinds of landings. Any landing you can walk away from is a good one. Likewise, any code that runs is in some wise also "good."
I agree with the initial poster (see below). Voting down without explanation or simply stating "it sucks" without further justification of your point of view helps no one; indeed it makes the one who cried "suck" look even less intelligent. If you have reasons for your feeble objection to cciulla's post, share them. If not, everyone here would be better off, including you.
