I mean, I've seen some funny comments before, but nothing that was
*that* awful...
// FIXME: what do we do here?
// FIXME: the following line is scary.
// FIXME: the following 2 functions totally suck, are useless and
should be replaced immediately.
// FIXME: Do we care about revision? We should.
// FIXME !!!
// FIXME: add comments
// FIXME: come _on_ <coder's name deleted>, you can do better than this ;-)
And a classic:
if(empty($unix_date)) {
return "Bad date"; // careful Indy!
}
