just because it compiles doesnt excatly mean it will work

Heh,

I've been using Code::Block for about 4-6 months now and I don't recall having compiled anything that built right the first time. It's always like :

- pressing "F9",
- waiting for millions of dollars to magically appear into bank account.
- bank account still at same level, re-checking code.
- pressing "F9"
- and so on...

Lol ... I got a nice comment ... stumbles upon it today at work:

/*

I am very sorry for this. It's not a nice solution, but hey ... this is not a nice program. Sometimes
it happens that something is lost somewhere in the dark and scary depths of the multithreaded message
processing system this whole bunch of s!#& ... bunch of code relies on. I haven't been able to fully
follow the problem, but sometimes a job remains in the job list shown to the user although it was
already processed and therefore the source file was deleted. So here we are: we just check the list of
shown jobs for jobs that have already been processed. If such a zombie job - let's call it "Steve" - is
there we'll find it with this small code section here and put Steve where he belongs.

Brainsaw,
+1, that is fair comment

Steve is such a great name for a zombie multithreading job

Something that occurred to me while sitting in the school:

Code: Select all

Comments? I don't need no comments.

// proprietary random number generator (C) Microsoft

    return 42;
}

You should be careful with such jokes. They might depress your computer. You know ... enough computing power to solve the problems of the universe and what is it supposed to do? Tell you something everyone knows. Every calculation that has never been calculated, every question that has never been asked and every problem that has never been solved result in "42". Everyone knows that.

- Over here we have our Random Number Generator.
... 42, 42, 42, 42, 42, ...
- Are you sure that's random?
- That's the problem with randomness, you can never be sure.

Code: Select all

And what does a comma do, a comma does nothing but make easy a thing that if you like it enough is easy enough without the comma. A long complicated sentence should force itself upon you, make you know yourself knowing it and the comma, well at the most a comma is a poor period that lets you stop and take a breath but if you want to take a breath you ought to know yourself that you want to take a breath. It is not like stopping altogether has something to do with going on, but taking a breath well you are always taking a breath and why emphasize one breath rather than another breath. Anyway that is the way I felt about it and I felt that about it very very strongly. And so I almost never used a comma. The longer, the more complicated the sentence the greater the number of the same kinds of words I had following one after another, the more the very more I had of them the more I felt the passionate need of their taking care of themselves by themselves and not helping them, and thereby enfeebling them by putting in a comma.
So that is the way I felt about punctuation in prose, in poetry it is a little different but more so …
