transparent</P>




1. <jargon> Not visible, hidden; said of a system
which
functions in a manner not evident to the user. For example,
the Domain Name System transparently
resolves a <A
href="/search?q=fully%3Cbr%3E%20qualified%20domain%20name ">fully
qualified
domain name</A> into an <A href="/search?q=internet%20address">Internet
address</A> without the
user being aware of it.

Compare this to what
<A

Norman
(http://www.atg.apple.com/Norman/)</A> calls "invisibility",
which
he illustrates from the user's point of view:

"You use computers when you
use many modern automobiles,
microwave ovens, games, CD players and
calculators. You don't
notice the computer because you think of yourself as
doing the
task, not as using the computer." ["The Design of
Everyday
Things", New York, Doubleday, 1989, p. 185].

2.
<theory> Fully defined, known, predictable; said of a
sub-system in
which matters generally subject to volition or
stochastic state change have
been chosen, measured, or
determined by the environment. Thus for transparent
systems,
output is a known function of the inputs, and users can
both
predict the behaviour and depend upon it.

Now, read your post and see how your usage fits none of the definitions.

Good job, Parrothead, you screwed up the code.
Now, we'll need 30" monitors.

Umm, no it's your post that has screwed it up, you are the one that needs to fix it.
