// TODO: not this

上面写了一个同事迫切需要优化的查询。替他说句话，当时我们几个月都是每周工作70个小时……

来自usenet的经典:

Teradyne硬件建模器代码的深层是一个例程 一大堆十六进制数字到SYS$QIO调用中。唯一的评论是 “这里发生了奇怪的魔法”。

来自Linux内核源代码:

linux /包括/ asm-i386 / hw_irq。h:

/*
 * subtle. orig_eax is used by the signal code to distinct between
 * system calls and interrupted 'random user-space'. Thus we have
 * to put a negative value into orig_eax here. (the problem is that
 * both system calls and IRQs want to have small integer numbers in
 * orig_eax, and the syscall code has won the optimization conflict ;)
 *
 * Subtle as a pigs ear.  VY

//MailBody builders for two outgoing messages
StringBuilder hanz = new StringBuilder();
StringBuilder franz = new StringBuilder();

当我读到这篇文章时，我仍然会笑出声来……

// barcore.cpp - MFC

//.....
HBRUSH CControlBar::OnCtlColor(CDC* pDC, CWnd* pWnd, UINT nCtlColor)
{
    LRESULT lResult;
    if (pWnd->SendChildNotifyLastMsg(&lResult))
        return (HBRUSH)lResult;     // eat it

//......

// Eat it - just like eat this.

//把这个放在这里的人是个白痴…这根本不管用!

但是代码还在那里……
