It is SPRING …

Ever come across, pieces of code which leave you mouthing WTF?

Here is a compendium of interesting code snippets which leave you wondering if there is any intelligent life in this planet.

A snippet

From A, I guess this just gives a whole new meaning to “Infinity Plus One” …

#define INFINITE	10000

I wonder if this next one (discovered by Andy Goth) is from the same codebase …

#define ZERO -1

Highly entertaining stuff !

Dont like all this cheer around the holidays? All this jolly’ and merry’ flying all ’round. Want to find something to channel your negative energy to … Here I present all the reasons to hate; correction – utterly despise the zune. Any pretence of logic is completely accidental …

1. Its a BRICK !
2. Zune works “flawlessly” with the zune market place, where flawlessly is defined as: with a probability of 0.15.
3. The screen is big … oh SO BIG ! but it has the same resolution as the screen on another media player whose name shall not be mentioned. You get lower quality at a very irritating sideways orientation.
4. In pursuit of achieving zen, the controls are not labelled neither do they icons indicating their function. Thus dicovering the functions of the buttons
5. No touch sensitive wheel, No mechanical wheel, No scroll pad, No touch screen… You only get a up key and a down key. Really, what more do you need?
6. Its thick. As thick as a BRICK.
7. The wireless feature(s) are very power efficient. It efficiently eats up all your power.
8. The UI is very intuitive … If you are a zune employee that is.
9. The Zune has excellent interoperability with Vista. Here “Excellent” is defined as works with a probability of 0
10. It is brown .. like a brick !
11. The zune will not function as a USB hard disk. Really who would want such a thing?
12. The team has been very creative with the wireless. You can wirelessly trade songs with a random stranger. All it takes is 1 hour to transfer a song which you can listen for 15 minutes
13. You cannot wirelessly sync with your computer. Who would want such a thing?
14. You cannot buy a song wirelessly, Who would want to do such a thing ???
15. You can see album art at huge sizes and really really really crappy resolutions …
16. ITS A BRICK !
