maybe it's a catch-all for people who get confused between swiping and wiping?

The fun is the fact they probably know it's utter bollocks themselves but they manage to deliver lines like that with 100% seriousness

RE: Best or worst ever function name?
When I was a student I was handed some code during my placement year with
someType function(someType sometype,someType SomeType, someType Sometype)
{
someType SOMETYPE;
if ((sometype < SomeType) || (SomeType > Sometype) )
{
// And on and on the nightmare goes...
}
return SOMETYPE;
}
Worst name in the sense the function name meant aboslutely *nothing* and the mixed-case variation of the input variables made it an utter ballsache to follow. I think I just gutted it and started again.

RE: EA is for awesome!
I grew up on 6502 coding, where I was raied to believe that 0xEA was a NOP. A completely useless waste of space and time.
That wasn't an opcode - that was a bloody prediction!

RE: Good Morning
I never got the point of valencian - it just seems an odd mishmash of Castellano* and French with the last syllable dropped for good measure. Sort of an inverse-PERL you can kind of understand it but you're screwed when it comes to giving a response. Even worse is the fact my pronunciation in Spanish is so bad (I know what I'm talking about - right words in the right order, they just sound off) at times it gets mistaken for valencian so I sometimes get credited for being able to speak it when I really can't.
It does have the amusing tourist-confusing sideeffect of shortening 'Bomberos' (fire brigade) to 'Bombers' though, which is the last thing a brit tourist wants to see turn up when something is on fire.
Workwise knowing spanish has helped because there's a tool kicking around here that is translated using the 'swop every spanish word for the english one' technique, so phrases like 'uncharging for USB. wait for please' appear so you need to swop the words back and translate it properly to have an idea what the hell is going on.
*Yup - I know how angry some spaniards get when you say 'spanish' there. Almost as angry as when you describe portugese as 'Spanish with typos' :)

RE: Desperate Shutdown
have we had a fanboy drop by yet and point out that their nVidia could try and shutdown the machine 65000 times in 13 seconds, making it twice as fast?
