Just When You Thought It Couldn't Get Worse

Man, he just can't win. :P Poor guy. This series has been awesome!

I once gave a professor of mine who is passionate about open source software a still-shrink wrapped copy of Windows 3.1 as a "gift". He still has it on a shelf in his office. Not extremely relevant, but it is one of my prouder moments, I have to admit.

oh my...

happycodemonkey

Agreed :P

happycodemonkey

::shudders:: You would bring that one up.

happycodemonkey

That's really amazing :D

happycodemonkey

Or C# or Java :P

happycodemonkey

Ahh okay, I see. That's pretty cool, I wish it was free so I could try it out :) Programming in VS is a freaking nightmare.

happycodemonkey

Don't forget to thank your local sysadmin if you have one! The two we have here for the CS department are awesome, hardworking people who take way more crap than they should have to. :)

happycodemonkey

Hahaha! Wonderful! I hope they actually kept that in the simulation :P

Always be wary of copy/paste ;D

happycodemonkey

It's always funny when you don't have to actually use the code :D

happycodemonkey

They really haven't changed the damn thing at all either (visually, at least). Even the Windows 7 one is pretty ugly according to screenshots I brought up. Argh Notepad.....

happycodemonkey

I really don't know, a casual Google didn't bring anything up. That would be...interesting. And has a great potential for evil in a public computer lab....bwahahaha!

Basically, he starts with one variable, sets the next variable to 0 ten times, then uses it in the next loop that sets the next variable to 0 ten times, then finally at the end sets a to 0 (ten times) :)

happycodemonkey

Wow, that was fantastic. I laughed for a good 5 minutes :D

I have to use Visual Studio at work, it makes me sad. The debugger is pretty nice, but it really doesn't make up for the fact that everything else about it kind of sucks...

happycodemonkey

Microsoft is getting really serious about their promotional campaign...anyone with an issue gets Death set after them!

happycodemonkey

My first "IDE" was Notepad, before I realised that kills programming angels :P

happycodemonkey

I'm really enjoying them too, looking forward to seeing more :D

happycodemonkey

Code by Petzold is hands down the best computer-related book I've ever read. It's not exactly focused on programming, but it really blew my mind with the detailed descriptions of what it takes to build a transistor from the ground up, and a computer from there.

happycodemonkey

This one and the last definitely made me smile, Ross is a great character :)
