"The World's Worst Software Developer"
-
I'm sure you told them of the complexities of dropping down to assembly language to check the sign bit, which can vary depending on the byte ordering and the bit ordering, what number system is used (floating point, two's complement, ones' complement, etc.), the size of numbers on different architectures (e.g., 32-bit, 64-bit) and compilers (e.g., Intel C++, Microsoft C++), and the assembly instruction set supported (e.g., x86, MIPS). It's a very difficult task, you see.
You should for good measure discuss Heisenberg's uncertainty principle too. Once you're measured the value to see if it is negative, you have modified it.

Oh dear me, how could I forget Heisenberg's uncertainty principle! While I'm at it, I also forgot about multi-threading volatility, and the susceptibility of non-ECC RAM to errors (which is even less severe than errors caused by paged virtual memory)! Certainly, there should be some locking and some replicated values to account for such common occurrences. Oh, and if the system does not include hardware-level prevention of buffer overflows, there may need to be some work done to prevent the sign bit from being overwritten by external programs, of course.

The United States invariably does the right thing, after having exhausted every other alternative. -Winston Churchill America is the only country that went from barbarism to decadence without civilization in between. -Oscar Wilde Wow, even the French showed a little more spine than that before they got their sh*t pushed in.[^] -Colin Mullikin

This brings back some bad college memories... :mad:

College is the only reason I am familiar with MIPS. :)

Based on some feedback, I will be mixing in other games with 185. Or do you guys want it in addition to daily 185? Either way, here's a new one. It's called "World's Worst." It's a one liner game, so really try to keep them as one liners. And DO NOT copy and paste a joke, or retell a joke, it won't be funny and on stage, you'd get called out. I'll reply with a couple to get started. Keep in mind, references to others tend to gets high points. If anyone is still struggling to grasp it, here's a version from the World's Worst TV show: [^] "The World's Worst Software Developer"

I was stunned for a minute, kind of the same way I'd react if you asked me to help you tie your shoes because you forgot how. When I stammered less than zero, her face lit up and she thanked me for helping her out, because I'm just that awesome.

Oh that was 'documentation'? I thought it was 'specification' I wrote software for that. :-D now who is going to write documentation for this?

I don't know who is the bigger idiot, the guy willing to do that for $1,500 or the guy that wants it done for $1,500... :rolleyes: ...and a red flag... "Buyer cannot cover the payment on-site." :wtf:
