...they should implement new touch method;
Faceplant.
When its too much for a facepalm that you just smash your face at it, it would immediately run a sophisticated application which would find out the reason of the daily horror youre facing and type properly aggravated post with delicate use of profanities as a reply to whichever forum or system it is.
It would evolve humankind greatly forward in quick fashion, and leave all normal display users jealous of those touch screen device users.

This little gem was found today in one class declaration thanks to Visual Studio Watch window. I was browsing one of the class members and i was stunned when i saw the window
int m_cnt;
CPoint m_points[50];
Most of the cases are keeping around 4 - 10 max points.
And i don't even know why exactly 50 ? Why not 100, or 500 or maybe more ... the more the merrier.

So I guess 50 is rather.... (puts on sunglasses).... pointless.

Unused memory is a wasted memory, they said

It will be fast, they said.

The project history stated its there since 2007 at least. I guess then they added the cvs system. The problem is that noone noticed this problem for 6 years :X

Can happen. Sometimes it makes sense to put a fixed array
example:
int[] iMonths = new int[11];
Assuming it is 0 based..

I hope that was a joke, or a typo!

 if it's Zero based or not - the Count of elements you give should be 12 - or are you using a "Special" calendar?

I put away the month of August of course (usually holidays...) so 11. In case of salary should be 13. We have a 13th salary here.

The programmer has exactly 50 days left on his/her contract. Out door and wait for the frantic "It's broken call... please come fix it at 3x your previous rate!!!"
Just a guess. We had a bug tracking system written some time ago that had a primary record holder delared something like
DefectRecord Records[50];
Because he/she never thought anyone would have more than 50 defects to see at one time on a report. Guess they never ran into a project like the one I'm currently on.

Does this really belong to this forum? I would put it to SoapBox.. Not sure so.

I think this is the correct forum - it seems to be CodeProject's equivalent to TheDailyWTF. The Soapbox seems to be mainly for terrible jokes and insane rants.

I wrote this because it seems that here there are mostly developers who are publishing their owns / collegues super good or super bad code.

Just for those lacking a sense of humour. The most rants are very funny.

Yet another delight from the VB6 rewrite...
Function GetINI(heading As String, setting As String, iniPath As String)
Dim temp As String * 120
Dim ret As Long
If iniPath = "Default" Then
iniPath = gl_DatabaseDir & "\XXXX.ini"
End If
ret = GetPrivateProfileString(heading, setting, iniPath, temp, Len(temp), iniPath)
If ret = 0 Then
Beep
Else
GetINI = Trim(temp)
End If
End Function
I think this is like pre-watershed television, where expletives are covered by a beep.
It's also worth considering that none of our PC's have a speaker

If this function is called many times from different threads and by some reason the XXXX.ini cannot be found, the result will be:
beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;beep;
ctrl+Alt+Delete --> Task Manager --> End Process
Imagine if it's a night over batch...

Luckily its in a GUI application. Although the idea of a machine in the server room going Beep repeatedly amuses me.
