Eeeevil of the Booleans

Which, by the way, isn't a Doctor Who episode but the topic of this article on passing parameters. I've just been convinced that passing Booleans is a bad idea and from this day henceforth I shall cease to do it.

Spread the word, brother and sister programmers!

Possible forgiveness

I just watched the trailer for Bad Boys II and it looks like I might be able to forgive Michael Bay for Pearl Harbour. Maybe.

Time for a joke

Here's a meme for you all. Link to the joke that you just read and then post one of your own. I'll start with this one here. Oh, and post a comment saying you've done so, to make it easier to work both ways down the chain. Knowing me, this will completely fail to take off, but I've always wanted to start a meme.

Anyway:

A frog walks into a bank, hops up to the nearest teller and says "I'd like to take out a loan please."
The woman behind the desk says "A loan? But you're a frog. What kind of collateral can you have?"
To which the frog replies "Listen, my father is Mick Jagger and I don't have a problem getting collateral. Now I'd like to take out a loan, if you don't mind."
The teller is a bit taken aback by all of this and says "Well, even if Mick Jagger is your father (which I very much doubt) you'll still need something for collateral."
The frog looks her square between the eyes and says "Miss, what's your name?"
"Patrica Wak" she replies, feeling somewhat nervous.
"Well, Miss Wak, this porcelain cow should do fine." the frog declared, handing over what did, in fact, appear to be a small, exquisitely made porcelain cow.
"This?" she queried, holding it by one hoof.
"That" he confirmed, "Take it to your manager and tell him I sent you."
So she walks through to the managers office and presents him with the cow.
"There's a frog out front who insists that Mick Jagger is his father and that he wants a loan and that this small (exquisitively made) porcelain cow will do for collateral and I have to say it's a bit much and I don't know what to do!" she quivered.
"So what's the problem?" he replied
"The problem? There's a talking frog out front and you're asking me what the problem is? I don't even know what this is!" she exclaimed, waving the cow at him.
The manager sighed and proceeded to explain.
"It's a knick-knack, Patty Wak, give the frog a loan, his old man's a Rolling Stone."
