Just went through (and am still going through) a perfectly fine application bombing after a thin client OS was updated.
I rebuilt it on my system (in the thin-client environment) and it worked fine: put on user's system and it crashed mightily.
Considering the unique environment of a development system, there's no question why that cry is heard oft-enough: "I works on my machine".

But is it accurate?
As a developer you should appreciate knowing that the event will start in negative 3 hours. You should understand what that means.
There are only 10 types of people in the world, those who understand binary and those who don't.

It's confusing to have a negative sign for each number place; there should be one at the beginning.

Ha! So true. I hadn't even noticed it. I'm blind.

I was just watching it count down some more -- 00 doesn't have a negative sign.

This is the whole of a would-be Tip submitted today:
public class Class1
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter a Number");
int num = int.Parse(Console.ReadLine());
for (int i = 1; i <=num ; i++)
{
if(i==2)
Console.WriteLine(2);
if (i % 2 != 0)
{
Console.WriteLine(i);
}
}
}
}
No text, no explanation - the author (I can only assume he works for Mindfire, it's about their level) clearly felt that it spoke for itself.
And boy, does it ever! This, ladies-n-gentlemen, is a Prime Number generator according to the author.
So...I tried it...
According to this code, the prime numbers under 26 are:
1
2
3
5
7
9
11
13
15
17
19
21
23
25 Now, call me old fashioned, but in my day, 9, 15 and 21 were divisible by 3, and both 15 and 25 were divisible by 5...
So which is wrong? The Code? Or the Laws of Mathematics? Only the author can tell... 
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

Ya, but that's also back when Pluto was a planet. We live in a very different place now.
This user submitted this in QA, got closed, and resubmitted it in QA. I told him to post as a tip but apparently he didn't realize some explanation should be added. Or, the important part, THAT IT SHOULD WORK!

There was a thing on the telly recently that stated it had been voted back in as a planet.

That's democracy for you!

That is such a coincidence because I've just been voted in as a planet too.
Very cool. I hope to be voted in as a Sun one day so I can go by the name Apollo.
It's such a cool name.
Plus then all you people will have to rotate around me and I'll be the center of your Universe.
Yes, the sun is the center of the Universe.
I pre-emptively struck on your future humor that I didn't know that the sun was the center of a solar system. Wham!

back.....away.....from.....the.....keyboard......
|
|
|
|

If he's the center of the universe, then technically shouldn't the keyboard back away from him?
|
|
|
|
|
Maybe it can't because the gravitational pull is so strong.
|
|
|
|

Well, then it's time to invent an escape-assist rocket for a keyboard. Or honestly, maybe you should just let it collapse into him... If you add enough keyboards (And divert the entire manufacturing capacity of the human race to this for several million years), you could turn him into a black hole.
I don't know where this is going, but my gut tells me it's just one punchline away from being funny.

Ok, that's a start, but now you have to combine it with the semi-joke... Somehow connect that to a black h--
Ya know what... Let's just let that one go-- Err, no, don't do that... Uh... Just pass-- No...

Every time planets or orbits or space or universe or anything astronomical then there is the required mention of the 7th planet in our solar system.
We really need a rename on that planet, don't you think?
|
|
|
|
|
It was renamed... In 2620. Don't you watch Futurama?
|
|
|
|
|
I haven't watched Futurama, because I boycotted The Simpsons in Season 2 and haven't watched anything by Matt Groening since. I know. Pretty cool, huh?

This whole chain of riffs was great though. Way to go out there.

You know, as someone who's been messing around in Project Euler lately and could now code a Sieve of Eratosthenes* in his sleep, that algorithm makes me cry a little inside.
(You know, it's easier to code the algorithm than to spell that guy's name...)
