Well, the good news is that they don't pop up a message when they load a script or program to steal your passwords and banking information.
That really would be annoying.

You could probably ask the same question about 90% of laws. 
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

Actually, the implementation of it may suck, but I gotta say I don't disagree entirely with the law. It's silly we have so many retarded laws I agree, but this one is at least better than one saying you must have your scrotum felt up to board an airplane.

I never had that! But any law NOT involving my scrotum is better than any law that DOES involve my scrotum... So yeah, I'd rather click away some stupid message. And again. And again. And again. And again... But that doesn't make it less stupid.

It's an EU directive which I believe has the best of intentions (make sure that users are informed of relevant privacy concerns when they're using a website), written by people who don't really know what a cookie is and why it doesn't make sense to mandate a message for any site that uses one.
If the law were, for example, a message was needed if you used any third party cookies or cookies with an expiry time longer than a month (or even a day), that would be a lot more sensible.

"CODE REVIEW" - This is a phrase that my boss uses everyday. I am not sure what it exactly means. So everytime I make a work log, I put in "Code Review" against my spare time. Now I am 110% efficient and he likes that.

Here's a Wikipedia[^] definition.
Where I work, code reviews are done for every check-in (sometimes after the fact). Although the devs I work with are a bright and seasoned bunch, that doesn't exclude anyone from a code review. Our code reviews mainly focus on performance and security and serve as a "second pair of eyes" to help catch the odd bug. Reviewers rarely end up suggesting rewriting comments or renaming identifiers, because we have a set of guidelines already in place that addresses that sort of stuff. Our code reviews usually take no more than 10-15 minutes and are almost always limited to the developer and a single reviewer.
I've learned a lot from having my own code reviewed.

Once we tried to do code review, but because of the nature of the code we have to gave up - it's mostly write-only code...

Tell me about that... I live it every day...
All of our code base is in C# now (it's over 5 million lines of code), but when reading parts of it I still can smell COBOL from 20 years before...

Could you show an example of that?

Do you know COBOL's STRING statement?
string Msg = FName + " " + LName + ", " + City;
is almost identical to
STRING FNAME SPACE LNAME ", " CITY DELIMITED BY SIZE INTO MSG.
We also have a lot of code using invalid value initialization for variables, like
int Msl = -1;
While in new code we use null...
In COBOL we used LOW-VALUE as no NULL was available...

The code I have been reviewing since the past few days is a VBA application. The developers used a lot of xml files to store all the conditional statements and dynamic data.
The VB code contains subs like Call_ARF_something_something_something.
I mean the subs are sctually named like that. So if there is call statement, it looks like
Call Call_ARF_something.
Apart from that, based on actual selections,new xml nodes are formed(by concateneting underscore and selections) and then the dynamic data is recorded inside those nodes.
I found nodes like XML_Node_ARF_PFG_PFGOption_CFG_CFGOption_(......... and so on)
It's a nightmare for me since there is no documentation and I have to figure out the business logic from all of this.

At least it isn't APL!
On a side note, I know someone who can READ APL code!
No joke, he even demonstrated it with random code someone who was visiting from Germany came up with!
What do you get when you cross a joke with a rhetorical question?

APL is not that bad if you know it. That's like saying Hungarian is a bad language because not many people can understand it.

John was on his deathbed and gasped pitifully, "Give me one last request, dear," he said.
"Of course, John," his wife said softly.
"Six months after I die," John said, "I want you to marry Bob."
"But I thought you hated Bob," she said..
With his last breath John said, "I do!"

But then Bob gets the uber-Mustang.
You'll never get very far if all you do is follow instructions.
