Well since 12pm and 12am are exactly the same time (i.e. midnight,)Wait... what?! If that's true, the american AM/PM time system is even more retarded than I thought. What comes after 11:59 AM?

You guys could get a dummy server online for him to reboot every other day. Would keep his rebooting cravings at bay.Do they have a 12-step program for that?

I'm starting to see the ultimate development of this into the scam that it must surely be:
Company you've never heard of sends you a registered letter out of the blue stating that you're hired to work on <widget> at such-and-such a pay rate and under such-and-such sets of conditions. Short time thereafter they send another registered letter telling you that you're in breach of your agreement and they're now suing you for failure to perform. Any attempts to contact them are shunted off to their legal department.
I love it! It's just like the classic scams of yesterday, where a company would mail you some piece of trashy merchandise you didn't order, and then bill you for it. I don't think this scam would be enforceable, though; there's no contract.
When I first saw the title of this post, I thought, "Hmm. Someone is thinking about memory cache flushing.". I like this one better; it really is an awesome WTF.
Seeing that display just [i]fills[/i] me with confidence!

Companies that think they can get away with hiring the cheapest "consultants" out there and still get quality work. This is often...unrewarding. As others have pointed out, it takes a lot of work to keep off-shore contractors in line and on task, and they won't admit ignorance even when that ignorance is destructive. "Cheap" is usually not synonymous with "good".@MarkJ said:
I think the operative word here is "experienced". If the offshore team were "experienced", they wouldn't have tried implementing your change without understanding it!Agreed. Now the question becomes: what sort of company hires idiots like this?

If you think that's bad...And they apparently encrypted the damn password, rather than salting and hashing them, the morons.There's the WTF.

They both seem readable to me. If your manager actually asked you to change your style to his, then you have a perfect right to be annoyed. But if you want your manager to switch to your style, then you are definitely making a mountain out of a molehill. (Has anyone actually seen a molehill? Pictures anyone?)He goes through my code and 'tidies' it up, this is just one example (I think he uses an automated tool to do changes like this). I understand that he is the boss and ultimatly it's up to him how the code looks - I don't have to agree with it though. Or be happy about it.
I'm curious as far as what tool would automatically convert you original code to ternary expressions? I used an automated tool to adjust indentation and align braces, but it wouldn't generate ternary expressions. I think your original code is more readable.
