Screwed over by The ManWe once made a flash animation for a record company. They told us it was brilliant and 30 staff gave us a round of applause. They asked us to stick it out without their name on it. Then their legal department sent us a cease and desist for infringing their copyright. How have you been screwed over?

Funny how that happens.I was looking though some code I'd done in 2003 a while back. It was to convert a number into it's equivalent text, in Portuguese, and break it into a second line before character 66 so it could be printed on a cheque.
I had put a fair few comments in, but several of them were totally baffling - I'd written stuff like '2nd break left 14 don't use ordinary length'.
Not a clue what it meant.

OK, for the programmers amongst you, here's a sample of the code...which is so brain-buggering I still remember it:
It was in Basic, with line numbers and everything:
...
1000 FOR n = 1 TO 10
1010 GOSUB 5000
...
...
5000 REM subroutine
5010 ...
5020 NEXT n
yes, that's right, a loop which opened in the main body but was closed in a subroutine. Due to the unusual structure of BBC Basic, which kept separate stacks for each kind of control structure, this actually worked! But try porting that to any other language...
