( I've been avoiding this one. It's pretty damn boring.Collapse )

I told you it was boring.

I'm beginning to hate the movie meme that is going around.

I'm not good at it.

I think out of the 30 gazillion that I've seen, I've been able to name a
total of five, and all are ones that somebody else already had guessed.

You see, I don't really remember lines of dialogue from movies. Unless
it's something really, really memorable ("Luke, I am your father",
"That's no moon", etc.). The other part of it is that the way that I do
remember lines are through audio cues-- the voice inflection, the
delivery... None of which really carries over into print.

But really, I'm just not good at it.

Well, I suppose there had to be something that I wasn't good at.
(grin.)

"But why would you ever have a need to display negative numbers
on the screen?"

It's just unreal.

So here is the proposed solution from the creator of the UI:

1.) Detach and deallocate the UI object.
2.) Create a new UI object with a scale factor of -1.0 and attach it to
the UI resource object
3.) Send the negative number as a positive number.

My proposed solution:

1.) Fix your damn code.

Sometimes it's not enough to want. Sometimes you just gotta have.
