Looks like ZDNet Australia has gone trawling for dirty words in the OpenSolaris code. While they didn’t find much there were some pearlers.

I have done a similar search. I published my results here : http://www.opensolaris.org/jive/thread.jspa?threadID=627&tstart=0
My favourite ones are
/*
* No valid partitions?!?! It must be that stupid
* answerbook CD. Those guys should be shot.
* If the default base partition is valid,
* we’ll just use that one.
*/
and
if (dtrace_predcache_id == DTRACE_CACHEIDNONE) {
/*
* This is only theoretically possible — we have had 2^32
* cacheable predicates on this machine. We cannot allow any
* more predicates to become cacheable: as unlikely as it is,
* there may be a thread caching a (now stale) predicate cache
* ID. (N.B.: the temptation is being successfully resisted to
* have this cmn_err() “Holy shit — we executed this code!”)

return (pred);

It goes to show that they care about their work at least.

It also goes to show that Murphy is still alive and well in the computer business.
I wonder what Windows source code comments look like

@murphy It looks like : http://www.kuro5hin.org/story/2004/2/15/71552/7795
It also shows how ZD is a pile of Bullsh/t. Is it getting way too much dvorak-styled?
Who cares anyway?
ZDNet Employee #1: So, uh…..can you like program or something?
ZDNet Employee #2: No way, man. Can you?
ZDNet Employee #1: No, I thought you could. Like what are we supposed to do with all of this stuff?
ZDNet Employee #2: It’s like, open source. Let’s look at its codes.
ZDNet Employee #1: I don’t know what that stuff says, man.
ZDNet Employee #2: Let’s just search for swear words, that will be funny.
ZDNet Employee #1: Yeah, swearing is cool.
