Those are pretty cool!

I really like this one:

It's amazing that with just black ink she's able to give an impression of the texture and shininess of the fabric.

World of Warcraft limits your wealth to 2^31 copper

"The very simple lesson is: if you don't know something, don't hard code it into your software!"
Yeah, but you need to code something into your software, so might as well use the largest number that can fit into a 32 bits. If someone accidently used 'int' instead of 'unsigned int', they are only using the largest number that fits in 31 bits, effectively halving the maximum number. Programmers do this all the time, like when winzip takes a shit with .zip files over 2 gigs.

@joe jance:
Yeah, that's exactly what I thought too. One of their programmers somewhere must have 'int' when he should have 'unsigned int'.

It's interesting that he is no longer able to receive money in the game. It makes me think that they are aware of the bug, and added the limit to prevent the gold amount from underflow. If the limit wasn't there to prevent him from getting more gold, I'm sure somewhere in their code base it would happily change his amount of gold to -2^31.

Droid Sans Mono, a sweet monospace font

I only use terminal. It's the font that the windows cmd line uses, so when programming console apps it's the only font where the code is WSIWYG.
