8272 lines of code in a single file. I guess you could talk about coding standards and code smells all day, but let's not. I'm impressed.
My favourite one so far: > No one ever makes a billion dollars. > You TAKE a billion dollars. Quite relevant to the vulture capitalists and their fans who frequent this site.
You mean people give it to you? You can't get away with taking one billion dollars from others without their permission unless you are the government ;)
It's curious to see how these quotes add over time and how they progress from dad jokes to more sophisticated, event statements Empty your memory, with a free(), like a pointer.\nIf you cast a pointer to a integer, it becomes the integer.\nIf you cast a pointer to a struct, it becomes the struct.\nThe pointer can crash, and can overflow.\nBe a pointer my friend." or Freedom of expression is like the air we breathe, w…
The first one is based on a Bruce Lee quote :) > Empty your mind. Be formless, shapeless, like water. You put water into a cup; it becomes the cup. You put it into a teapot; it becomes the teapot. You put water into a bottle; it becomes the bottle. Now water can flow, or it can crash! Be water, my friend.
Translations for the few quotes that are in French: > Je mange donc je chie. — Don Ho "I eat therefore I shit." It's a pun on René Descartes' "Je pense donc je suis" (I think, therefore I am). > Mathématiquement, un cocu est un entier qui partage sa moitié avec un tiers. "Mathematically, a cuckold is a whole who shares his half with a third [party]." > Si un jour une chaise te dit que t'as un joli cul, tu xtrouveras…
> > Mathématiquement, un cocu est un entier qui partage sa moitié avec un tiers. > "Mathematically, a cuckold is a whole who shares his half with a third [party]." In French "moitié", which means "half", is also slang for "spouse" (or girlfriend, significant other, etc... you get the idea). "tiers" indeed means "third" or "third party". "entier" means "integer" in a mathematical sense, but more generally, it means "w…
In C++ it's harder to shoot yourself in the foot, but when you do, you blow off your whole leg. Bjarne Stroustrup Is it though? I feel it's as easy to shoot my foot as to modify few lines of C++ code and get 200+ lines of STD error messages.
I'm a Notepad++ user and I'm not a fan of some of these quotes. I wonder if someone has already made a cleaned up version of Notepad++. I would certainly be interested in that.
"X is slow because of the separation of servers and clients, i.e., the client-server model, i.e., its network capacity. It doesn't matter that it uses shared segments in the degenerate case -- it still takes a dozen context-switches amongst three different processes before an X client can even pick its nose."

Earlier quoted context omitted.
This only makes sense from a naively individualist perspective. If no one ever made a billion dollars, so to speak, there would be no money at all.
It also makes sense from a marxist perspective. How billionaires/capitalists take the surplus value from manual labour and all that untrendy stuff.
I stumbled across it in 2007, the day after Windows Vista was released. I installed Windows Vista, and the first thing that I installed was Notepad++. Shortly thereafter, I got a popup "God Damned Exception", but it wasn't immediately clear what application was raising it. I thought it was humorous to entertain the possibility that Vista had been released with this oversight. But... notepad++ was the only thing installed that was not Vanilla out-of-the-box Vista, so I searched through the notepad++ source to find/confirm it. It's been a favorite of mine ever since.
