[Fucking stupid] Bad programming ideas [WTF]

Name: Anonymous 2008-04-28 16:29

Here's a thread where you can post retarded software/programming related ideas you read or saw on the internets. Retarded code from ENTERPRISE is fine too, but please don't turn this into “Retards writing Java” thread. You can think of it as /prog/'s own DailyWTF, only with less Java programmers and people laughing at stuff that they really don't understand. I'll start with a post from /a/:

I have been thinking about a P2P client which requests bytes from people who may not necessarily have the file they're downloading, but they have those specific bytes (which may be from another file), and the P2P client is designed to request the closed peer with those bytes, despite not having the file. So, it wouldn't matter if a torrent was dead, you'd just have to search other peers for those specific bytes.

It would have to be some sort of index of hashes of those bytes which would determine who sent them...

8 bit hashes? for 1KB? that gives 255 possible hashes for about 10^300 inputs. Thats 10^298 for each hash. GB2 highschool
Actually 256 possible hashes.
