High-tech building + no smoking = ...
My company is relocating to a "high-tech purpose-built state-of-the-art facility", but it's located on a completely non-smoking estate.
The solution to this problem apparently isn't using some of that tech to cater to the smokers... The solution is:
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><meta name="ProgId" content="Word.Document"><meta name="Generator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><meta name="Originator" content="Microsoft Word 11"><link href="file:///C:%5CDOCUME%7E1%5Chodgman%5CLOCALS%7E1%5CTemp%5Cmsohtml1%5C01%5Cclip_filelist.xml" rel="File-List"><style> </style>
We will certainly be strongly discouraging employees who smoke from standing too close to main roads and from taking extended breaks from work to go further afield to smoke. We’d therefore like to take this opportunity to suggest and encourage employees who smoke to consider – over the next few weeks, and over Christmas and New Year break – quitting.

RE: Just another code snippet
Maybe it was an "optimisation"?
The set guarantees no duplicates (which usually means it is sorted for efficiency), so inserting sorted data might be faster than inserting randomly ordered data... That kind of "optimisation" should definately be explained with a comment though... and justified with a benchmark...

It's nice to see how my little WTF about lack of courtesy has spawned so much intra-forum bitching...

RE: Behold the power of doing nothing
The PAUSE instruction wasn't introduced until the Pentium 4 -- obviously this code is just trying to be backwards compatible ;P

RE: Yet another interpretation of "boolean"
@snoofle said:
You know what he means though, right? Even though his usage is off.From an instructional comment on how to use a program that can generate full or partial reports:
The program takes several arguments as follows:
Arg1 - path to input file Arg2 - path to output file Boolean parameter to generate full report or not, type keyword: ‘full’ for the full report
*sigh*
The full parameter is a binary decision - it's either full or not. Obviously the concepts of a "binary choice" and a "boolean parameter" are close enough to being the same thing to this guy.

Kangaroo Balls?
The BBC headlines looked normal this morning, but after lunch one of them started demanding some new kangaroo balls...

RE: Behold the power of doing nothing
@dtech said:
I'd love to see some C++ code that uses pointers to std::strings... There's sure to be some WTFs found in such a design.Every language where String is an object (pretty much all of them) and where assinging an object pointer to a variable creates a copy of the pointer rather than a copy of the object, which is so in most compiled languages.
This will work for example in C++, Java or C# but won't in perl, phyton, php, etc.

RE: Why does my C Compiler let me get away with this?
@bstorer said:
You can translate "boost::format" to "GTFO of the stone age" if you like. C++ pwns C in this regard because you can get the compiler to report logic bugs as compile errors.@ulzha said:
@ActionMan said:
C != C++
Or std::stringstream, for the matter at handboost::format
I had hoped that people here would get that distinction. This is what I get for being optimistic.

I really hate to be "this guy"... but Windows ... deteriorates your hardware faster
WTF?
Microwaves use more power when turned off, and windows deteriorates solid-state electronics?
