#104145 - old hat Responding to: ???'s previous message |
C'mon, back when we got our first calculators, we discovered that if you entered the numbers 7734 and turned the display upside down, you got a sorta dirty word.
I like to use 0xDEAD as a generic error code, and for testing I use 0xDEAD 0xBEEF and 0x600D 0xF00D. I also use 666 as a "magic number" whenever possible. -a |
