  • Good one



  • That's awesome! [:D]



  • Leave that to run on this site for a couple of days while everyone is taking a vacation, and noone will spot a difference!



  • A little enhancement for Version 1.1


    if (random() % 100 < 93) {
    body.append("Arggh, the forum software sucks!");
    }


  • body.add("They used Math.pow to perform bit shifts");


    HEY


  • "That's soooooooooooooooooooo" + (IsTrue()).ToString();

    //Sorry for the mistake but I suposse that the guys in the U.I department can get rid of those kind of things, ater all I send the text,

    //they are responsible for the format. Isn't it? 



  • A self-constructing forum?



    Skynet can't be far behind, surely. Maybe that's why the Terminators
    were pissed - revenge on the human race for letting Paula Bean near
    their source code.



  • What's a flib?

    I like the cut of your flib, simpson!

     

    No?

     

    When you eat lobster, do you wear a flib?

     

    No?

     

    I dunno what it is.[:D]

    I think it's pronounced WTF lib - as in, a library of WTF functions. That's how I read it anyway.



  • Actually, it was a (I guess failed) attempt at a play on words. WTF madlib

    HEY

    No offense man, :-) There are worse ways:

    // No, I have never really seen this, but it COULD happen :-)
    int pow = 1;
    for (int i = 0; i < bits; ++i)  {
        pow *= 2;
    }
    int shifted = 0;
    while (pow--)  shifted += var;
    assert ((shifted >> bits) == var);

    I guessed that as well, but I figured I'd play along.

    What the (expletive)?



  • @danielpitts said:


             if (wtf.replies < 3) {
                  body.append("First!");
             }

    shoudn't that be "Fist!" ?


    btw, seems you missed a couple lines of code:

    if (not isTrue(user == 'admin' && password == 'admin')) {
        throw FILE_NOT_FOUND_ERROR;
    }

    Actually, it would be "return new ClassNotFoundException()"
