IB programmers have a good sense of humor...

I often run into comments in the code that make me laugh. Here's one I ran into while splicing a few wires.


/*****************************************************/
// create_account
// ------------------
// Now this is a really good subroutine. It adds the member
// to the members table in the database. Yes, really fancy
// this one. It also finds the time to see if we need to
// check any email verification type malarky before we
// can use this brand new account. It's like buying a new
// car and getting it towed home and being told the keys
// will be posted later. Although you can't polish this
// routine while you're waiting.
/*****************************************************/

Yeah, actually, it would be fun to see the source code of IE or something. I bet there must be some interesting comments in there too.

my guess is you'd see a lot of these:

Code: Select all

/**************************************

                TO DO 

**************************************/

just a guess though.  :P

lol and probably lot of these too:


/*

for future patch and new bug
see h:sourcewindowsugssecurityflawsufferoverflow287.cpp

*/


And I'm sure the intro looks like this:


/* cout<<"Microsoft Windows 3.1"; */

/ * cout<<"Microsoft Windows 95"; */

/ * cout<<"Microsoft Windows 98"; */

cout<<"Microsoft Windows ME";
