[Fucking stupid] Bad programming ideas [WTF]

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...

I'm saying it's completely retarded because flooding random people on the Internet with requests for a particular chunk from a file that they don't have is fucking retarded. This is completely different from DHT, (nice troll, >>4), which searches for people who are seeding the file you want.

Not to mention that the odds of one chunk of video being exactly the same as another chunk from a completely unrelated file is very, very low. Also, collisions. What that idiot on /a/ described could be accomplished by taking chunks out of /dev/random, hash them and see if they match the hash we're looking for.
