Post Re: The Random Sh*t Thread
Interesting part of a past exam paper:
Code:
#include <stdio.h>
 
int func (int a, int b) {
   static int c = 1;
   return a + b * (c *= -1);
}
 
int main () {
   int a = 2, b = 3;
   int c = func(a, b);
 
   a *= a++;
   b *= ++b;
 
   printf("%d %d %d %d\n", a, b, c, func(a, b));
}

I've been on hold to Microsoft for over an hour now :(

I'm having issues with some software I paid for and their response has been shocking. No "Hello" or "Goodbye", just a "Give me a one-line description of the problem" and he still didn't understand a word I was saying!

Peter.

Try this: "It. Is. Fooked. It. Is. Not. Working. I. Want. It. Fixed. Now."

No repro :)

Need to be VERY descriptive.

What product is it?

Ok, what were the issues you were experiencing? Just a bit of fun, but let's see if we can figure out what was wrong with it anyway :)

Oh right, nothing like that. I needed a new product key for it because I no longer had access to the email account which contained it.

The first call handler simply told me to buy a new retail version of it for £400.00 and reeled off a list of different retailers where it would be in stock! Anyway, the gentleman who telephoned me back gave me a new product key and a link to download the software :D

It was their fault I needed to re-install in the first place, because Vista managed to die on me.

Peter.

Sorry, I didn't manage to switch on the PC last night, as the wife was working and I was too busy playing the Dr Who Scene It game with my 7 year old daughter to worry about computers.

I'll try and find a picture tonight. If I turn on the PC.

Edit to add: Thanks for the info' Peter. That clears it up :)
