I have personally witnessed one of those no-screws-easy-to-open cases that was so bloody hard to figure out that it took two men and fifteen minutes to get open. Of course second time through it was easier and faster, but certainly not the first. I don't know what kind of lunatic hates good old screws so much that designed that devilish thing...


Precisely what happened. Actually, it has screws independent of that (because one side is a custom thing), so I was screwing and unscrewing and pulling and prying and trying to find buttons...

-I almost posted here about it. Maybe I did, I can't remember. I do remember taking pics of it, though, I still have them around.

Once when i was a kid i switched the little voltage thing on the back of my 486 power supply to 110. It resulted in a smokey bbq scented psu.
Take that there and put it in here

Last night, I was writing a C program which would check to see if a linear time-invariant system was BIBO stable using the Jury Criterion and I accidently used abs() instead of fabs() with a double. :gbk:

Assembled a new rig two days ago, Athlon AM2, forgot to give the processor power, wondered why the machine wouldn't start up...

:( Yeah, cmath.h knows better than that. I'm usually pretty good about not making dumb mistakes like that one, but they still crop up from time to time, even with -Wall.

Nope, Bounded Input/Bounded Output. Read about it here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BIBO_stability

I once included <stdio.h> instead of <cstdio>.

Then I went on to write a polymorphic class without a virtual destructor. Wow, I suck.

the other night:
<Genki> i can't remember, which section of an IDE cable is for Master?
<Genki> the end or the middle?
<Aglar> the one closest to the motherboard
<Aglar> middle
<Genki> k
<Jon`C> Genki: Whichever one is connected to the IDE device with the jumpers set to master.
<Jon`C> seriously. what the hell? it's a shared (multiplexed) bus
<Jon`C> that's like asking (or suggesting) which end of a cat5 cable is for the server :V

minutes later:

<Genki> i flip the cable over and in big letters on each half 'SLAVE' 'MASTER'
<Genki> >.<
