Censorzilla

Programmers will get a kick outta this! I saw this article in my Network Computing magazine:

When the developers at Mosaic Communications set out to create Mozilla, their lawyers requested that they clean the source code–literally. Developers were asked to remove “any text containing vulgar or offensive words or expressions.” Jamie Zawinski did just that–but, like any good programmer, he documented his work, preserving for your viewing pleasure the complete list of revolting source-code comments that never made it into Mozilla.

Some good ones:

/* This sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks sucks. */

/* stderr hackery - Why Unix Sucks, reason number 32767

// we are f*****! try something different.

// blah blah I know too much about this s**t blah blah

This might not be such a good thing, as those colors might suck.

Unfortunately, it may screw up once in a while (nobody’s perfect)
