The most worthless comment ever

When was the last time you loaded a box of green-bar in a line printer?

At least it's accurate.

If DG == Data General, I'm not surprised. I used a DG 'Nova 4' system one time, a very long time ago. Regarding the doubled
HALTinstruction, that's also not too surprising. Depending upon the interrupt architecture and when they increment the program counter, I could see a glitch between decoding theHALTinstruction and its execution causing the code to continue executing.Software Zen:

Your comments are not accurate. You are enumerating from 0 to 9!

how about?
// enumerating i from 0 to 10 (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++)
{
// printing i to the console (Lloyd 29 07 2010)
Console.WriteLine(i);

A fantastic example. Comments are for programmers, and presumably the programmers know how to form console output and for loops, making the comments fairly pointless. This code breaks two good coding rules.. 1) comments are about WHY, not WHAT.. WHY are we enumerating 100 times? 2) use of really cryptic variable names, such as 'i'. Yechh.

Glad that someone was able to get the depth of worthlessness of my comments! :laugh:
