Nod. Some knucklehead used GetTickCount or clock() for their app and had no clue about datatypes and overflows and range of possible values and some people go off on Windows.
I was helping someone in the public newsgroups with a similar issue. "Experienced" 10 year c coder who didn't understand why a long value would go negative and start counting down... He could have been coding for Windows or anything else. Unfortunately he chose Windows so his app contributes to people thinking Windows doesn't work. The state of programming right now is like the state of the roads in Michigan. Mostly in disrepair and everyone blaming the weather instead of poor road building skills. In the meanwhile the Dept of Transpotation keeps hiring inexperienced road workers for some poor salary and using lowest bidder to build the roads and expecting them to miraculously get better. joe -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of ASB Sent: Friday, September 24, 2004 7:22 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Full-Disclosure] Windoze almost managed to 200x repeat 9/11 That has nothing to do with Windows, and everything to do with a stupid application. ...as if stupid app developers are solely the products of Windows environments. -ASB On Fri, 24 Sep 2004 11:32:29 +0200 (CEST), Feher Tamas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > http://www.techworld.com/opsys/news/index.cfm?NewsID=2275 > > Next time think twice before replacing Un*x with Voles! > _______________________________________________ Full-Disclosure - We believe in it.
