One solution is to blur your eyes so you can't read text but can distinguish between fixed width font and variable-width, cross out the code with a sharpie magic marker, and then read the paper. Damian On 11/24/08, josef.pktd@gmail.com <josef.pktd@gmail.com> wrote:

Thanks for the clarification.
I was just wondering whether we have to stop reading the paper, when the authors start to show the code after finishing with the description of the algorithm (for clean room development).
