I didn't think it was all that funny. I mean, i'm not really a windows advocate, but I'm not by any means a *nix guru. Besides, any programmer will look at that code and realize it's horribly ugly and is repetitive. Actually, I'm pretty sure it won't even compile. One of the function names has a - in it. Notice that there's an if statement with the same conditions as the loop it's in. And it does almost the same stuff the loop code does. Why not add it to the loop (since it'll be executed anyways if windows makes it through 1 cycle)? Oh well. It wasn't terribly funny, but I guess it was at least mediocre.
