desk check /n.,v./ To grovel over hardcopy of source
code, mentally simulating the control flow; a method of catching
bugs. No longer common practice in this age of on-screen editing,
fast compiles, and sophisticated debuggers -- though some maintain
stoutly that it ought to be. Compare eyeball search,
vdiff, vgrep.
