==Choice excerpts from WSO files==
 
Most of the following examples are taken from files and scripts written long ago but somehow still in use.
 
===Self-deprecation===
 
# Note, Apr. 2005: This is unspeakably shitty.
# This is ghetto.
 
# Yes, this method is mentally handicapped.
 
#HACK
 
# Our comments system is a total hack.
 
# The worst firewall ever.
 
# This SQL is so nasty I can't explain it.
 
#this makes me cringe, but oh well
 
===Self-Aggrandizement===
 
# In case there was confusion, this is *hot*.
 
# Who's a pimp.
 
# You can try to understand it,
# but I would regard it as holy writ.
===Self-defense===
 
#yeah, i know there isn't a whole lot of reason to abstract this,
#but you know what, suck it.
 
# This took me 15 minutes.
# 15 minutes don't buy documentation.
 
===Insult...===
 
# whoever commented this out is a dumbass
 
===Threats of Violence===
 
## Change these and I'll rip your fucking balls off
 
# These arguments are passed to us
# by /usr/sbin/adduser. Do not
# change them, unless you would
# please to put my TV in your butt.
 
===Miscellaneous===
 
# So if you've read the past two functions, you're probably
# wondering, why the fuck I'm passing parameters for the unix
# pkit_component via the model output instead of using
# component parameters.
if($unix eq '06cks'){return 1;} #super, super admin, i.e. me.
 
# This is where WSO staff enter personal hacks
