I do not think that it can be used in a lawsuit situation especially because soft copies of docos can be easily changed without any audit.
Secondly if the script does the job that you were contracted to make it do, then your x-boss is liable to pay you. I own and operate a small IT outfit and I know that courts are always favourable to the employee than the employer. regards adrian -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, January 22, 2002 2:30 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: totally OT: random statements of boredom in comments in code greetings. sorry about the off-topicness of this post, but this is the only list with the sufficient level of proffesionalism i know of that might be able to help: my ex-boss is looking for excuses not to pay me for some work i did quite a while ago. now he had the incredible idea of letting someone look through the code i produced, and that guy pointed out some comment like: # what am i doing here? this is pointless! or # i'd rather be [insert some nice thing to do here] or # this code sucks. (even though i kinda doubt i wrote stuff like that, but the possibility certainly exists) now i know that i'm not the only person out here that uses comments for random outbursts, but does anyone know whether something like that is actually of any importance whatsoever in case of a lawsuit? the applyable jurisdiction would be the german one, but i guess stuff like that is kinda similar around the world. help. please.
