One company had a problem. Some of its customers were deleting the company name and copyright from its software. The programmers were asked to come up with a way to prevent this. So they put in some code to checksum the copyright, and if it came out wrong, they would issue an error message:

   Fatal error:
   Water buffalos need immediate feeding
   Call 1-800-555-1234 for technical support.

The idea was that this error message would be so strange that the miscreant would call technical support to find out what it meant. (What it really meant was, "I modified your program illegally.")


"One weather service computer required the meteorologist to enter rainfall in inches. Now these people were used to dealing with hundredths of inches so when you asked them how much rain fell today, they would say,"50" meaning 50/100 of an inch or half an inch.
However to enter this into the computer you had to type "0.50." One fellow forgot this and entered the rain for the day as "50." Now 50 inches is a lot of rain. An awful lot of rain. The computer caught the error, however, and issued an appropriate message:
Build an ark. Gather the animals two by two. . ."

P.S.-> many software engineer at CE should really learn from this, instead of prompting something like : ER0x23 KEYBOARD LOCKED, PRESS ANYKEY TO CONTINUE.
