If you enjoyed this, or any of the ‘Man with no name’ series, please check out Yojimbo.

Double post, sorry.
I just noticed the comment above about The Magnificent Seven. If you liked that, you have to see The Seven Samurai.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0047478/
Odd how cowboys and samurai keep showing up in remakes of the same films, and how they owe the whole thing to a detective story.

Red Harvest is a great read, by the way. It’s also a fantastic introduction to Hammett’s work, for the uninitiated.

he did it in a cave with scraps

Comment by natedog — May 11, 2008 @ 1:08 pm

Well we always knew Stark was a jerk. Why expect anything else?

And “Scraps”? Errrm no. Did you see all the Stark industries weapons in the rebel camp? You cannot exactly call high tech, military grade, guided missile systems and munitions “scraps”…

He might as well have been working in a stark industries lab…

Haven’t seen this since I was a kid (maybe late 80s), and even by then it was outdated.

There’s a lesson for you, boys and girls: don’t post to MCS drunk.

Or maybe you should. I dunno. I’m drunk now…

Comment by DocBrown — May 10, 2008 @ 8:47 pm

That’s the most manly bit of code I have ever seen. Shit that’s Goddamn Batmanly. Win.

Comment by THE_GTC — May 9, 2008 @ 9:22 pm

S0 boobies fail as well?

I think not.

Comment by The Lawnmower — May 9, 2008 @ 10:07 pm

Tits can not fail.

Exception: National Geographic tits.

Comment by Frznagn — May 9, 2008 @ 11:15 pm

My knowledge of C is pretty much nonexistent, but the way that that code reads to me is that if the answer contains the letter ‘t’ it will say fail. So, even if they do reply with ‘tits’ it still says fail at them.

Now, if I’ve read this right, and by all means I’m not sure I have… As I said, I have very little knowledge of C coding, but if I’ve read it right, then this = fail

Comment by Ronwe — May 10, 2008 @ 12:34 am

Sorry Ronwe, the way it works is if the answer doesn’t start with the character ‘t’ it fails. Ifsofacto, turds would be win in this case. Methinks Sudden_Urge needs to go back to school and learn some regex before he can win.

Comment by angrymatt — May 10, 2008 @ 12:55 am

I will revel in my nerdiness and point out that this bit of code would never compile because main needs to return an int. Also, the variable “ans” should be type “char”, not type “int”, although it might be possible that getchar() is storing the integer ASCII value for the letter, but then the conditional statement wouldn’t be valid. Obviously, I’ve made my point about the level of my nerd-dom.

All that said, the post is still hilarious.

Comment by Lord_Gorlock — May 10, 2008 @ 2:27 am

^^^ Wow, I just barely understand what you’re saying

Comment by Jaypeezy — May 10, 2008 @ 5:44 am

@ angrymatt

Regular expressions ftw. The code is sloppy and therefore not as “Win” as it could be.

@ Lord_Gorlock

Yeah, there isn’t a reason why main() should return anything in this case. It should be void. And the var type inconsistencies are lame.

Comment by Tony — May 10, 2008 @ 1:21 pm

OK Perl golfers.. lets see a 1 liner..

Comment by Stolid — May 10, 2008 @ 1:26 pm

@ Stolid
And that is what I need to learn, and master, Perl.
So, what is the code in Perl? In one line, of course.

Comment by Tony — May 10, 2008 @ 1:37 pm

Lord_Gorlock:
“Also, the variable “ans” should be type “char”, not type “int”, although it might be possible that getchar() is storing the integer ASCII value for the letter, but then the conditional statement wouldn’t be valid.”

Actually, that part is fine.
getchar returns the ASCII value. ‘t’ is the ASCII value of the letter t, so ‘t’ == 116 == 0×74.
Also, a char is just an 8-bit integer. You can assign numbers to a char just as you can assign letters to an int. You can also compare ints to letters just as you can compare chars to numbers. They’re all numbers.

Basically, it works.

Ronwe:
“but the way that that code reads to me is that if the answer contains the letter ‘t’ it will say fail.”

!= is “not equal to”, not “equal to”.

Comment by goatsgomoo — May 10, 2008 @ 8:24 pm

@goatsgomoo

Yeah, I realized my error in this later. Still, if you only need 8 bits, use an 8-bit data type :-p.

Wow, critiquing fake code. I really need to find a better hobby :-D.

Did not paint it. Wish I could paint stuff like that , I found it google-ing.

Is this what steampunk art wil look like in the post-apocalyptic days of the 23rd century?

Comment by JamesTuskGeorge — May 8, 2008 @ 1:58 pm

Looks like the Soviet space shuttle, the Buran. All white, mounted on an Energia booster/tank. Their version of the shuttle lacked main engines, and instead only had orbital maneuvering thrusters. Plus there’s the four strap-on, liquid fuel booster rockets (NASA’s shuttle is solid fuel).

Comment by Kumba — May 8, 2008 @ 9:37 pm

I think the painting is by Donald Fagen. Looks like it at least.

Comment by gamlerik — May 9, 2008 @ 4:55 am

It’s a piece of artwork from the old Department of Defense propaganda annual “Soviet Military Power”. This publication was published during the 80s and intended to help prove the need for the large military budgets at the time, by showing supposed imbalances between NATO and WARPAC Forces. Propaganda aside, they were chock full of very nice artwork, such as this piece.
