The Weird and The Wonderful

   

The Weird and The Wonderful forum is a place to post Coding Horrors, Worst Practices, and the occasional flash of brilliance.

We all come across code that simply boggles the mind. Lazy kludges, embarrassing mistakes, horrid workarounds and developers just not quite getting it. And then somedays we come across - or write - the truly sublime.

Post your Best, your worst, and your most interesting. But please - no programming questions . This forum is purely for amusement and discussions on code snippets. All actual programming questions will be removed.

Intel can't afford to recall all of the chips it has produced in the last 2 years. OTOH, not recalling the chips gives them an incredible image problem.

I have bought Intel CPUs for the last 45 years (going back to my first IBM "portable" PC). It is likely that my next PC (or portable) will have an AMD chip.
Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows.
