Had heard about an "End of Earth" sign at Michigan, quoted on this page.[^]. Looks like its not there today.
Has the Earth ended?

I remember a movie around those lines....
if (endofearth == worldsend)
{
foreach(pub p in pubs){
barcrawl(p);
}
saveWorldFromAliens();
movieEnd();
}
Life's like a nose, you've got to get out of it whats in it!

That's no moon!
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.

In a recent CP newsletter, the following article link was supplied: Why comments are stupid, a real example
After careful consideration, I offer the following comments:
# IDIOT
"The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits." - Albert Einstein | "As far as we know, our computer has never had an undetected error." - Weisert | "If you are searching for perfection in others, then you seek disappointment. If you are seek perfection in yourself, then you will find failure." - Balboos HaGadol Mar 2010 |

Ahh - but the Lounge is supposed to be KSS . . .
so I need to watch my language;

No comments!

- The problem with quotes on the internet is that you can never tell if they're genuine Winston Churchill, 1944
- I'd just like a chance to prove that money can't make me happy. Me, all the time

Just read his book, Soft Skills, which is pretty good though.
Luckily it isn't about code

He isn't, by some chance, the same person who can do it quicker from "Apparently the customer knows best... " post, is he?
Also, couldn't his article be considered a commentary - and thus self referential?

Serious bit:
I comment prior to coding. I will write psudo code in comments and then I can see what needs to be filled in and oft is the time these comments disappear altogether.

Here's my attitude:
Not writing comments, under the presumption that the coding is so clear that it explains itself, falls into the category of debugging your own applications.
What's perfectly clear and obvious to one person may be gibberish to another. And, there are occasions when I do something that's just not how I'd want to do it. What better place to explain "why?" than at the scene of the crime?
Brilliant as some of us may be - if one really knows what they're doing then they can explain it.
My fearless leader (i.e., IT Director) only writes (shudder!) VB6 for apps (he's a DBA). Currently we're in a php/javaScript/HTML phase and I comment everything. He's able to cut/paste it, even though he can't quite read it, and make good use of it without needing to bother me. If I could just get him to learn a real language . . . but that's another subject.
