//The following 1056 lines of code in this next method 
//is a line by line port from VB.NET to C#.
//I ported this code but did not write the original code.
//It remains to me a mystery as to what
//the business logic is trying to accomplish here other than to serve as
//some sort of a compensation shell game invented by a den of thieves.
//Oh well, everyone wants this stuff to work the same as before.
//I guess the devil you know is better than the devil you don't.

// Holy moses! I've never seen anything so ridiculous in all my life. 

// Why do we need to query the AlarmIDs table twice.

// Please tell me sir; I would really like to know. 

// This like all the other services have been mangled

// to the point where they are nearly impossible to determine what kind of side affects might occur.

// I am making the smallest changes I can to this code. 

// The GetAlarmId method gets the alarm id from the AlarmIDs table.

// Novel idea, why didn't we query for the values be get below all in the same place.

// This should be changed, but right now it will have to remain as is due to time constraints.

// This like all other services really don't do anything fantastically hard, but after the original coders got

// done with them; they are difficult to work with and have an acceptable comfort level.

在给一个朋友看了这篇来自《Coding Horror》的文章几个小时后，我看到了他对代码的评论:

// valdez先生是一个暴力的精神病患者。别惹他生气。

if(m_measures =/*=*/ --index)
{
    ....

THIS PROGRAM HAS CODE THAT DOES NOT MEET STANDARDS      

这个评论几乎出现在我们这里的每一个节目中....

我不止一次使用过这个方法，当我对一个数学公式做了一些不明显的简化时，我不想记录:

//this formula is right, work out the math yourself if you don't believe me
