OT but worth repeating. All quotes from a coder I worked with years ago... 1. "That's funny, it works OK here!" 2. "It's not supposed to do that." 3. "It appears to work, now." 4. "So, it should work?" (as in, `It should still work , even after we...') 5. "Man, I knew that it was too easy!" 6. "It should now work" 7. "I think that works..." 8. "This ain't gunna work, but what the ** we'll try it anyway." 9. "It's not working, any clues?" 10. "This will just about do it, right?" 11. "It DOES look like it's going to work!" 12. "I think it'll be OK" 13. "We'll save that for the Windows version" 14. "In theory, that SHOULD work" 15. "So, close, and yet..." 16. "FIXED!" 17. "I don't know exactly why, but it DID compile OK" 18. "It should work, shouldn't it?" 19. "Let's just say `that actually seems to work'" 20. "I've never done this before, but it should work" 21. "It USED to work!" 22. "You may find that that (bug) is fixed in the next release"


All my homies hate Richard

And while we're on the subject of the Richard comment chain, I found the cursing not to be NSFW, but the ableist language (dumb, stupid, idiot) was NSFW.
