I have already submitted annual report for that year to my head office here in Accra as I have watched with keen interest as they will never know of this excess.I have since, placed this amount of $ 9,550,000.00( Nine Million five hundred and fifty thousand United States dollars) only to an Escrow Coded account without a beneficiary (anonymous) to avoid trace. As an officer of the bank, I cannot be directly connected to this money thus I am impelled to request for your assistance to receive this money into your bank account on my behalf. I intend to part 30% of this fund to you while 70% shall be for me. I do need to stress that there are practically no risk involved in this. It's going to be a bank-to-bank transfer.

    Mister Kofi Ado, If you have 9,5 mil (nine and a half million) that you want to get rid off... share it with the codeproject community, we will be very happy with your money you want anything in return? I'm sure we can provide you a good program that helps you spamming messageboards. (but we can't garantee bugs that might f**k up your pc)

        Sounds tempting, however it occurs to me that if you're smart enough to steal that much from your company, then you're smart enough to cheat me out of my share, so just eff off.

          Dear Mr.Kofi Ado, I've really very interested in you proposal, unfortunately I'm unreliable, dishonest and absolutely NOT trustworthy (you know, drugz...). Anyway I beg you, since badly need your money! :-D

              I believe the phrase "Cowardly Programming" would be more apt...defending against problems that just aren't there.

                One of those sounds too familiar - on our team comments are generally frowned on - especially those that may document the parameters of a function. The boss' logic? Comments frequently aren't maintained so end up out-of-date. I'm not sure about this one - I get his point, but I'd rather see a slightly off-topic comment (and correct it when I realised) than have to work out everything's purpose from scratch the first time its encountered (or when sufficient time has passed since you last looked). Then again, there seem to be no concerns about line length either. I've encountered lines of code over 1000 characters wide, so not only are there no comments, but I have to keep scrolling sideways to see the code itself. Often, the most important work is done by a function call hidden away a few screens beyond my screen estate.

                Phht..this boss was not a true Klingon...The True Klingon boss I once worked for would say "You didn't update the comments? A pity, I thought you LIKED your job..."

                  I could surrender, but often human beings are stupid and proud. So I must reply... Hmmm, ok.. 1. this expression cannot be used as callback funcion 2. If you use that expression in many place of your code, instead of using a central function, you have to change the literal 16 in all places. Use a costant at least. 3. Why not waste some stack space? ahah ;-) Greetings Vin
