Also, an oversight in the small saucer's programming gave rise to a popular strategy known as " lurking " — because the saucer could only shoot directly at the player's position on the screen, the player could " hide " at the opposite end of the screen and shoot across the screen boundary, while remaining relatively safe.

Towards the end of the 1950s machine-independent programming languages were first proposed.

Others have attacked the problem from the database end, by defining an object-oriented data model for the database, and defining a database programming language that allows full programming capabilities as well as traditional query facilities.

This approach is also used in specialist software such as Openlab, where the end users want the flexibility of a full programming language, without the traditional learning curve associated with one.

The is not strictly necessary at the end of a function like this, but is good programming practice in case other functions are added below later.

The network has no digital on-screen graphic logo in the bottom right-hand corner of the screen on the HD feed, except for a ten-second promotional sweep of a Fox HD acknowledgement ( which before the end of 2010, also featured a sponsor tag for DirecTV ); instead a trigger in Fox's program delivery system at each station displays the affiliate station's logo bug in the 16: 9 right-hand corner of the screen, which disappears during commercial breaks ( during local pre-emptions of Fox programming the logo does remain on display even though the station is not airing the programming ).

In 2005, That's So Raven became the network's highest-rated series since the network's move to basic cable ; as well as being the first original series to beat the 65-episode limit ( the highly controversial programming rule implemented in 1998, had guaranteed any original series would end after 65 episodes to prevent production costs from increasing ; however this rule is no longer enforced ); the series eventually hit 100 episodes, becoming the channel's longest-running original series until October 2011 and became the first to spawn a spin-off, Cory in the House.

However, in the generic programming approach, each data structure returns a model of an iterator concept ( a simple value type which can be dereferenced to retrieve the current value, or changed to point to another value in the sequence ) and each algorithm is instead written generically with arguments of such iterators, e. g. a pair of iterators pointing to the beginning and end of the subsequence to process.

On September 28, 2009, the new logo is used across Nickelodeon and Nick at Nite, along with the rebranded TeenNick, Nick Jr. and Nicktoons ( formerly The N, Noggin and Nicktoons Network, respectively ) channels in varying versions customized for brand unification and refreshment purposes ; a new logo for Nickelodeon Productions also began being used in end credit tags on all Nickelodeon shows, even on episodes aired before the new logo took effect ( end credit tags of programs airing on TeenNick, Nick Jr. and some shows on Nicktoons only use the current Nickelodeon Productions logo and variants for their respective channel's original programming on episodes of series made after the rebrand ).
