回到《Hitchhiker’s Guide》刚问世的时候，我曾经测试过某些内容是否可滚动，以及用户是否尝试着滚动，这是一种限制可变长度的语言。所以:

if (scroll and noScroll) # or tea and no tea

首先，在一个大对象的更新的开始:

/*General note to all who tread in the <ObjectName>() code...
 * The SetOriginals() method from the BaseEntity class should be called (and only called) right after the Get() method
 * call as seen above.  Calling the SetOriginals method elsewhere will result in bugs and all kinds of other nasty suprises.
 */

然后在大约200行逻辑之后更新对象:

//Attempt to explain this confusing mess of code:
//First time you save an actual absence this is what happens:
//0. The first save saves to the <TableName> table (among other things). (Fig. A)
//1. The <CalculationMethod> method is called next which inserts to the <OtherTableName> table. 
//(This is the table that keeps track of credits to the case.) (Fig. B)
//2. So then you have to call <UpdateCalculations> to move the <TableName> records to the <ThirdTableName> table. (Fig. C)
//3. Then you go back and run calculations since you have the debits table (<ThirdTableName>) populated. (Fig D.)
//4. Then a final save to save the calculations back to the case. (Fig. E)
//Yeah, I know what you're thinking:  this sucks. 10/01/07 XXX

开发商是对的……这太糟糕了!

我曾经参与过Windows 3.0的源代码。(我赶紧补充一句，作为一名微软员工，不是!)在那里，我遇到了一个文件加载器，它可以多次重新输入，并且有一个讨厌的双关语的例子(只是为了显示作者有多聪明)。

这些乱七八糟的可重入代码是用Intel程序集jmp指令(在C代码中间)执行的，它的标签是“we_are_not_in_kansas_any_more_toto”。

“这永远不会发生”。

朋友，这是我的临终遗言……

这是众所周知的，但我喜欢它(在sys/ufs/ufs_vnops.c中):

/*
 * A virgin directory (no blushing please).
 */

在FreeBSD内核源代码树中(甚至在之前，回到4.xBSD)

long long ago; /* in a galaxy far far away */
