Secret Code... FBN Execs only!!! FBNers! My nephew is taking a high-school course in C. It occured to me that many of the programs that are not year2000 compliant do not care about line-breaks, but instead use some character such as ';' to differentiate commands. I have asked my cousin to write some code that will be the basis for our new product Bargain2000. Here is the secret code... for(i=0;i<=infinity;i++) { if (shitloadofcharactersmakingupprogram == '\n') { remove(shitloadofcharactersmakingupprogram); } } If we run this secret code on our customer's programs, it will strip out all of the newline characters, leaving their program as one big line. Then, they can take it to one of our competitors, who foolishly charge for conversions per line of code, and effectively solve their whole Year2K needs for just a few bucks (excluding what we charge for the Bargain2000 tool, of course). What do you think? Are we onto something? ~Mitch VP of Sitting Around Fly by Night Consulting Aggresively Impacting America's Productivity
