REVIEW: Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1 I grew up watching Bugs Bunny and the rest of the Looney Tunes characters. When I was a kid, I used to watch them every Saturday morning and frankly, I never stopped. Well, sure there are times when I would get a bit too busy for cartoons (even on the weekends) but I've always been a fan of Looney Tunes. I think this is mainly because the cartoons aren't really made for kids. Sure, kids can enjoy them, but many of the situations good old Bugs and the rest of gang found themselves in were better understood by adults. Suffice it to say, since Looney Tunes started showing up on DVD (and now Blu-ray), I've been adding them to my video collection. So, when Warner Bros. released the Looney Tunes Platinum Collection: Volume 1, I had to have it. There are actually two versions of this title: a regular Blu-ray edition and an Ultimate Collector's Edition (of course, I opted for Ultimate). Both editions contain...

The Art of Readable Code As programmers, we've all seen source code that's so ugly and buggy it makes our brains ache.
