The professor who teaches C++ here constantly leaves comments on the political climate in his example code and such, so when you look through previous exams you see what he thought about the Snowden leaks, the stock crash, etc.

Somehow he manages to turn the stock market into a problem about const vs non-const.

XML is fine, it's just not lightweight. The problem with HTML is that it's XML with shortcuts taken, all of those shortcuts being the most retarded shortcuts available.

Abandon All Hope, Ye Who Enter Here


This is undoubtedly the most ugly program in the distribution. It was one of
the first "serious" programs ported, and still has a lot of historical baggage.
Ideally, there would be a general tty widget and then vt102 and tek4014
subwidgets so that they could be used in other programs. We are trying to
clean things up as we go, but there is still a lot of work to do.

I always loved the Beerware agreement. It even made it into the PS3 terms and conditions at one point.

found this in a php script in an old job

/*

i think there was an ajax page somewhere generating javascript and a core js file was calling one if its functions.

it was an utter cluster fuck. i left that company as soon as i could.
