... another lame karma joke.

new sig is:

Karma: Curate (mostly due to parts of it being excellent)

old sig was:

Karma: 3452816845 (mostly due to an uninitialized variable)

New sig is a lame Karma joke that only windows programmers will get.

Karma: 3452816845 (mostly due to an uninitialized variable)

Old password was:

--
int x=354583890,y=371516;main(){putchar(x); x>>=y&7;y>>=3;return y?main():0;}

First they outsourced the textile producers,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a textile producer.
Then they outsourced the auto workers,
and I didn't speak up,
because I wasn't a auto worker.
Then they outsourced the COBOL programmers,
and I didn't speak up,
because I was a Java programmer.
Then they outsourced me,

David Gould pointed out that my sig really needs a line feed at the end. Fortunately, the bits line up like this:

'T': 01010100
LF: 00001010

So the only change required to my sig code was to change the intial value of y so that it did an extra shift of three bits.

Old intial value of y was 1010101100111100 (43836)
New intial value of y is 1011010101100111100 (371516)

GCC didn't like my sig. Thanks to lemonjus and jungd for pointing this out.

New sig:

--
int x=354583890,y=43836;main(){putchar(x);x>>=y&7;y>>= 3;return y?main():0;}

... but it is too long to fit in the space available.

"Propose to an Englishman any principle, or any instrument, however admirable, and you will observe that the whole effort of the English mind is directed to find a difficulty, a defect, or an impossibility in it."
Charles Babbage

Obfuscated code sigs are terribly passe. I'm thinking of changing it to something my daughter said at the weekend, which pleased me in a Rugrats meets Star Trek (the original series) kind of way.

"NO WEDGIE I"

Old sig was

non est jam dicere, ut populus sic sacerdos, quia nec sic populus ut sacerdos - St. Bernard

New sig is:

int x=354583890,y=43836;main(){putchar(x);x>>=y&7;y>>=3;y ?main():exit(0);}

The BBC has this story about a 700 year old fresco in Austria that is remarkably similar to Mickey Mouse. Even under current law, that copyright would have expired long ago.
