in our workshop, "commented code" gets deleted on sight. We've only found it to cause confusion and wear out our scroll wheels :)

Comments are for those of us that are either not patient enough to let our desktop environment compile every time we install*, and too lazy to check out old code from subversion**.

*This is despite Gentoo's inherent awesomeness.
**I'm also too lazy to learn the SVN commands.

Yeah, that sounds right.

Thanks Kai! I'm a mediocre coder, but I do retain command over the English language... sometimes. :drunk:


Edit: That icon is to represent me celebrating an apparent victory, not to indicate that I get drunk and lose command of the English language.
