I hope I didn’t mess up too many details. It all happened some time ago, and the memory inhibition mechanism is starting to kick in. Treat it as a fairy tale rather than accurate report.

I would also like to point out that in the latest “Duży Lotek” lottery I hit 1 of 6 and 0 of 6.

Weird indeed. Many of those seems to be pretty useful (except C4061 :) ). Recently I have also found weird behavior of the MSVC. There was a obvious divide by zero “#define VAL 0″, “int a = counter / VAL;” and compiler didn’t gave any warnings. What was more strange, I’ve found out about this, after I’ve turned on “Whole Program Optimization” and linker gave me a warning.

@PS: I loved the comment “At MobyGames resumes, you’ll find Andre Garcia, a QA tester for nearly a decade, quickly went from nothing, to a design lead position”… that sounds familiar… where did I saw that ? .. Ah yes… :) Seems like one of the polish companies copies “what’s the best EA has to offer”.
