Comments in Source Codes
Reading source codes is a lot of fun, especially when you are reading other guys' codes...
- // summary:
// Class used to work around Richard being a
// fucking idiot
//
// remarks:
// The point of this is to work around his poor
// design so that paging will
// work on a mobile control. The main problem is the
// BindCompany() method,
// which he hoped would be able to do everything.
// I hope he dies. - // I dedicate all this code, all my work, to my wife,
// Darlene, who will
// have to support me and our three children and the
// dog once it gets
// released into the public. - // Magic. Do not touch.
- return 1; # returns 1
- /*
* This is O(scary), but seems quick enough
* in practice.
*/ - /*
* You may think you know what the following code does.
* But you dont.
* Fiddle with it, and youll spend many a sleepless
* night cursing the moment you thought youd be clever
* enough to "optimize" the code below.
* Now close this file and go play with something else.
*/ - // When I wrote this, only God and I understood what
// I was doing
// Now, God only knows - // This is craptacular!
- And finally, there is no one comes as close as this. The only comments in a big chunk of complicated codes are:

// Trust me
Job Interview Question
You are driving along in your car on a wild, stormy night. You pass by a bus stop, and you see three people waiting for the bus:
1. An old lady who looks as if she is about to die.
2. An old friend who once saved your life.
3. The perfect man (or) woman you have been dreaming about.
Which one would you choose to offer a ride to, knowing that there could only be one passenger in your car?
Think before you continue reading. This is a moral / ethical dilemma that was once actually used as part of a job application.
You could pick up the old lady, because she is going to die, and thus you should save her first; or you could take the old friend because he once saved your life, and this would be the perfect chance to pay him back. However, you may never be able to find your perfect dream lover again.
...

The candidate who was hired (out of 200 applicants) had no trouble coming up with his answer.
He simply answered: "I would give the car keys to my old friend, and let him take the lady to the hospital. I would stay behind and wait for the bus with the woman of my dreams."
Never forget to "Think Outside of the Box."

Drill practice in recession time - The Singapore Way
A fire alarm rang at 4 PM when almost all shift employees are in office (approx 5000). As usual entire office was evacuated within 3 minutes & every employee gathered outside office.
10 mins passed ........................................
5 more mins passed ..................................
5 more mins passed ..................................
Then a Security Officer started an annoucement: "Dear Employees - With melting heart I'm making this announcement that for many of you will be a last evacuation drill. Due to the recession we are laying off almost 50% of employees. While moving in if your ID card does not work, then you are among those laid off & all your belongings will be couriered to you tomorrow.
We have followed this approach as we didn't want to fill email box with layoff mails and good bye mails in thousands & also to avoid any fight inside office.
Hope you have nice career ahead. Please move in & try you luck".

‘Never been kissed’ singer, 47, Susan Boyle
Les Miserables - I Dreamed a Dream
I dreamed a dream in time gone by
When hope was high
And life worth living
I dreamed that love would never die
I dreamed that God would be forgiving
Then I was young and unafraid
And dreams were made and used and wasted
There was no ransom to be paid
No song unsung, no wine untasted
But the tigers come at night
With their voices soft as thunder
As they tear your hope apart
And they turn your dream to shame
And still I dream he'll come to me
That we will live the years together
But there are dreams that cannot be
And there are storms we cannot weather
I had a dream my life would be
So different from this hell I'm living
So different now from what it seemed
Now life has killed the dream I dreamed.

关于中国制造因陋就简的创造力
一家国外的肥皂生产商始终困扰于一个小问题,就是每生产1000个产品,生产线上总存在一两个没装肥皂的空盒。生产商向它的生产线供应商提出必须解决这个问题,生产线供应商思来想去,在生产线上安装了一个新监测环节,用射灯去照每个肥皂,如果出现空的,机器手会自动将它捡走。不过这个新功能太不便宜了。
另一家中国肥皂商也购买了这种生产线,自己想出了解决的办法:在生产线的出货口放了一台电扇,空盒一下子就会被吹掉!
